Ya building I'm pretty seasoned on, just this ejuice stuff makes me feel like I did when I started vaping Lol. And I ordered a banana cream and a pins colada from ejuice4u.com Ill grab some gloves anyways tho. I like to be overly cautious haha
Good lad and have fun

@Time you'll know this since you use this - isn't the banana cream one of the flavors that melts the rubber stopper on syringes? (Or is that the regular banana?)

I haven't expierenced that but I only mix 10ml of Banana Cream a month. It could over a period time and I just haven't noticed yet. I just checked my syringe(I use one syringe for each flavor) and it seems fine so far.

edit to add; I haven't used regular banana so I wouldn't know for sure but I do recall reading something like that.

Yeah the banana cream is that brand but the pina colada is natures flavors. If that means anything Lol

Okay. I don't have a list for Natures Flavors for recommended starting percentages. Maybe someone else knows. A quick read on that other forum leads me to believe they are simular to TFA percentage wise. If nobody chimes in with an answer, maybe try the pina colada at 10% and go up or down from there.

Hopefully someone familiar with them will chime in.

Anyway, different brands can require different percentages on the flavors.

Yes. Just be sure and take notes so you can replicate the recipe if you want to make it again.

Yep.

I like to stick to percentages. Mix a small batch and vape it after steeping. If it isn't strong enough try 11% or 12%. Sticking to percentages helps me keep track. I've been wacked on the head too many times to remember much if I adjust on the fly, lol.

I realize this thread hasn't been touched in a little over a year but while doing my homework to get spooled up on vaping and mixing juices, I found this thread very helpful.

The calculator mentioned here is perfect and helped me in mixing my own juices. Still lots to learn....

Thank you,
Tom
