Full VG/PG,Nicotine free.

[sumimiga]

Im going to attempt and make my own ejuice for the first time. Bottle sizes : 15ml,30ml,236ml bottles.
Im trying to make a 100%vg meaning I dont want PG and Nicotine at all, but I guess flavourings are considered. So probably a 95%VG/5% PG,Flavor. What measurements should I use for these 3 bottle sizes. And what type of flavoring should I use? Any recipe for different amount of flavorings I should use for 5 percent.

First thing you need to do is READ. Eliquid is simple but apparently not as simple as you think it is. Just like food there are a million different recipes and a million different ways to make things. Go to the guides/tips/tricks section. That will give you the basics... find an eliquid calculator that you like...order SMALL amounts of flavorings and try recipes before you go spend a bazillion dollars on crap you don't need and probably won't like anyway. Even though you aren't using nicotine..LEARN what the hell you're doing. It's not just something somebody can give you the "simple answers" to on one thread. I know it's not the answer you were looking for...but if you take the advice..it'll save you A LOT of heartache and $ wasted..just saying.

Im trying to find 100%vg base eliquid recipes but still havent found any, I'll go ahead and try again.

As your post stated, most of the popular flavorings (TFA, FA & Caps) are all PG based so you will have "some" PG. I would figure at the most..as much flavoring as you are using. So if your recipe called for 6% flavoring..then it would be 6/94. What I was saying in my post is that to be able to measure accurately, you will need to have a good eliquid calculator. Links to many of them can be found in the section that I referenced earlier. My bigger point though was that because your flavoring is the "variable", it's impossible for somebody to just give you one simple answer or one simple recipe. I hope that makes sense. It really doesn't take long to get the basics and once you have that down, it's lots of fun

For flavors, I recommend using FlavourArt (FA), due to the high concentration, you use lower percentages, than with other brands. In addition, the flavors are usually spot on (natural). However, most flavors in general, are diluted by adding PG.
For recipes, I use http://e-liquid-recipes.com. When you create a recipe, make sure to check the checkbox next to max VG.

While eliquid recipes is a really good site..I would also suggest that if you plan to use FA, go to the recipes thread here and try a few of the recipes there. HIC, wllmc, Cramptholomew..all good stuff and mostly FA.

I get that, but let's say I want a Banana Strawberry. How much banana and how much strawberry should I use to get the near perfect mix?

what he is saying is that there about 9 previous steps you have to go through first. waaaay to many variables. its all trial and error and a lot of what brand you are trying to use. some are used at higher % than others or maybe soulshine likes the banana you are using at 5% but you might like it a little stronger at 10% its just way to general of a question but lucky for you there are lots of helpful people here that will get you to your perfect strawberry banana and have lots of fun doing it !

Think of juice like women (or men..not that there's anything wrong with that..LOL), nobody is perfect, you have to find the one with the perfect balance for YOU. There are many flavor companies. Most of us in this forum prefer FA (Flavourart). What you do is start with...say...2% Strawberry and 2% Banana. Want more Strawberry...up it a little to maybe 2.5% or 3%..want the whole thing stronger, maybe try 3% of each...THAT is how recipes are made. Now if you want to try the posted recipes of others, those are usually good to go as written, If you feel you need to tinker with them afterwards, you can do so. There is no "perfect" combination of anything that suits EVERYBODY. That's why there are literally thousands of juice companies out there. Because taste is subjective, it's impossible to corner the market..lol There are great recipes out there but you can't just say "give me the magical combination of X & Y". My magical combo might not be yours. Make sense?

When I experiment with creating a new mix, I just make a 10ml mix, and adjust flavors if needed, taking lots of notes. However, should that new mix contain one or more new flavors, I make a single flavor 10ml mix of the new flavor(s) first.
In order to find a starting percentage, I refer to HICs "...my notes on...", due to using FA flavors. You can find them here in the forum or at http://mamajsflavorshop.com/headinclouds-my-notes-on-flavor-descriptions/.
