Getting started

Been vaping for a while now and usually just buy ready made juices, but now i want to get into making my own.

I have made juices with pre-made concentrates from T-Juice, Pure Perfection and just got some jungle juice concentrate from flavor west, all have turned out great.

I have just recently had a go at making the grants vanilla custard clone recipe found oh here and its great.

15% capella vanilla custard
2% TFA Dulce de leche
1% Ethyl Maltol

I use the POTV juice calculator on my phone and it seems to do as advertised.

I now want to have a go at making the Thug juice clone before i try some of the other great looking recipes on here.

Thug Juice Clone
TFA Watermelon 13.0%
TFA Grape Jolly Rancher 8.0%
TFA Menthol 1.0%
TFA E.M. 2.0%
TFA Koolada 1.5%
UNK Citric Acid 1.0%

I have a few questions though.

Being UK based where is the best place to get TFA flavors, I've tried looking for Grape Jolly Rancher for example but not having much luck.

I can get CAP, TPA, and FA concentrates from liberty flights, just need a few more sources to get what i need to get started.

Currently a little stuck at the moment so any assistance appreciated.

Wow thanks for the link, they do 3 of the concentrates needed:

GRAPE CANDY (TPA)
WATERMELON (TPA)
KOOLADA (TPA)

Still looking for the following, but least its a start.
TFA E.M. 2.0%
TFA Menthol 1.0%
UNK Citric Acid 1.0%

I take it E.M is Ethyl Maltol, i have some of that from the alchemist cupboard, will that be the same?

Any ideas on
TFA Menthol 1.0%
UNK Citric Acid 1.0%

Sorry for all the questions.

Yes the EM is aka ethyl maltol and yes that will work. :D At the site I posted - Enter Menthol into the search at the top right side of their page and you will get a few menthols to choose from - I think they would work as menthol is menthol. As far as the Citric acid I have never ever used it and have no idea where to get any - sorry. Hope the other stuff helps.;)

Thanks for the replies guys

Would you you say the UNK Citric Acid 1.0% is needed?

just made a 10ml sample of flavor west jungle juice at 13% up and it smells so good, hope this is similar.

Now i have to try a leave it alone for 7 days to steep :)

hmm, sounds complicated.

I've found videos on youtube for making your own menthol with crystals any pointers on how i do the same with citric crystal/powders?

How my would you add to 10ml of pg for example, where do you get it from would this do the job?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261174013036

Would a mix it at 10% (1 gram citric acid to 9ml pg) then use the 10% mix in liquids at around 1% sound about right?

May just buy all the concentrates for this and just make it without the citric acid and see how it comes out.
