Hey all!
After quitting smoking in December and starting my #Vapelyfe I've spent Alot of money on juice, mods, etc. So now that I have this new "addiction" I'm ready to dive into the world of DIY mixing. I've found a couple flavors that I like and vape daily, but the cost effectiveness just isn't justifiable. The problem I'm running into is there is just so many different products, sources of information and combinations of both that I'm finding myself spinning and not comfortable taking that first step.
Here's what I vape and what my situation is. I am down to a 6mg Nic as I vape Alot and a higher nic level dosn't agree with me at the end of the day. I prefer a 50/50 or even 60/40 VG/PG blend. The heavy vapor from the VG gives me some of the satisfaction I want from my 25 years of stinkies, and from what I read the PG helps with boosting the flavor.
I'm finding my taste buds either failing me or I need to switch up brands or flavors as i can't seem to taste Any juice anymore unless it's a Very sweet, citrus flavor(ie. Pineapple), which I don't really enjoy. When i got started I could taste all the different flavors with no issues. Loved the Apple Pie I purchased from a local brick and mortar and Vanilla is my absolute favorite flavor, problem is I can't taste them anymore. So I want to make my own, How much do I need and of what?
I see deals from vendors for 1ltr 100mg Nic for $40. Seems like a good deal, but do I Need that much Nic (both strength and quantity) for the amount I use? (6mg juice) I would think a bottle that size would go bad (does it?) before I got through it. Bottles..I have Tons of 15ml leftovers from my collection. Both glass and plastic, some with droppers and some without. I think I'm good there. So I would need a couple larger containers for batches, 30ml or bigger? Mixing containers/beaker? Syringes or pipettes? I imagine the syringes are more accurate forms of measure and control.
Flavors.. well, I'm still looking to replicate that first Apple Pie flavor, and i know recipies are all different and that steeping plays a huge role in the overall flavor outcome. So even if I cant replicate it Exactly I wouldn't mind coming close. It's all trial and error, I get that. How much flavoring should I get, size wise? I imagine I'll be experimenting a lot with flavor combo's and looking for that desired taste, so basically how Far will a bottle go?
If I buy a bottle of 100mg Nic at 25/75 pg/vg Do I need more pg/vg to dilute the nic level or is there something else I use? I think i read something somewhere about using distilled water to cut vg.. sorry, I'm rambling thoughts off here.
Anywyas, I think you can see what I'm getting at If you made it this far into the post, thank you! Any help at all would be appreciated, just try no tot confuse me any more than I already am! lol
