Schnozberries?
ggrrrooooaaaannnn
i think i have man flu, certain death awaits
you'd better send 2pak, Hawk', and me your mod's for safekeeping . . . . ..
Poor poor doggie. The man flu is most certain to cause death
Might be the quietest its ever been here. Errybody must still be hiding from the cold. Or recovering from the game?
Hey Always I've noticed that too but thought maybe it's because I've been boring everyone with gear talk all week. Seems most have found their quiver and are content. I'm just looking for a good place to study up on DIY and find some recipes before my supplies come. Tried to go to HICs site but it's slower than our last home (smh).

Hey Always
i think he is a member here, started here and expanded to his own site? so should be lots on this forum somewhere
i ordered soft contacts for my tmods which seemed to be taking a while, emailed tom, he said he'd resend new ones, had to laugh that mail to here goes via new york and he said "a little bit of snow is no excuse for the postal system"... i'd hate to see a lot of snow
I actually did it! These are Hawk's goatberries.
LOL Glow, perfect!

Thanks Claudia! I just spent the last 3 hours looking there, and elsewhere, and am now super excited for DIY! Especially now that I set up a safe place to mix away from children.
Ordered a couple more items, downloaded a couple files, and found a good calculator that works on my Mac
Now I just need my supplies to arrive (and hopefully another week or two before #2 is born!)

Good luck in your mixing journey! If you need any sorta help the diy pros will come to the rescue. Don't be scared to ask and make sure to WRITE EVERTYTHING DOWN lol. I forget to sometimes then kick myself for itThanks Claudia! I just spent the last 3 hours looking there, and elsewhere, and am now super excited for DIY!

You better get to mixing then. You might not get another chance for a bit. And don't be afraid to add a bit more nic when you need it. I have a feeling you will need it
Thanks, I'm sure I will! I have a couple flavors, in particular, that I want to nail down first to replace my ADVs. I'm sure I'll need to try some variations to get the creamy aspects dialed. And then of course the things I would to even realize I don't know until I get thereGood luck in your mixing journey! If you need any sorta help the diy pros will come to the rescue.

Lol. I've been thinking about bumping up some of my stash, just so I don't need to hit it as much. Need to be able to duck out and chain vape an hours worth in under a minuteYou better get to mixing then. You might not get another chance for a bit.

don't think I would enjoy anything over 6mg though, been at 3mg for a year now.
Remember to mix each flavor all by itself. You will better understand what characteristics it will bring to the table and you will know what percentage you personally prefer that one at. When following someone elses' recipe, it is helpful to know what percentage of flavoring would be too much or too little for your needs. If Vienna Cream is just right for you (not that you will want to vape it standalone) in strength at 3%, seeing it in a recipe at 5% tells you to cut down the overall percentage of flavoring for that recipe (while keeping the ratios the same). This will save you a ton of time instead of pouring out and starting over. Will save you a few dollars in the long run, too.
I do not like a recipe with cream vaped fresh mixed. But after 2 hours at 120F and a day of rest or 5 days of drawer steeping, I am ready to vape it

Dready, do like Peng says and get to know all your flavors by mixing each one on it's own first. I was a slow process for me, but it really helps you to know which recipes you might like, which to avoid, and how to fine tune flavors to your liking. Then you'll start making up your own mixes and have much better luck than if you just randomly guess.
And do find some HIC recipes. There are tons of them listed at the link Claudia posted.

Morning, everyone!
2-Hour delay for us as the temperature is up.........Actually 42° .......... but the sleet is coming down.......Mother Nature has her panties in a twist this season......Nothing until mid-January and then .........BOOM! She throws everything she has at us all at once!

How do I know this?
Because, I never followed this advice, and I dump stuff out all the time. Well, not all the time. 240ml yesterday, but not all the time.
Still cheaper than paying $20 for a bottle of juice you cannot stand to vape.
You will be back to your walks in no time. How many do you get in, just moving around during a normal day?
I get a fair bit of exercise during my work day. Just can't count it towards my 100 miles.
I haven't been able to talk myself into doing this either, I still am only following Hic's recipes, but I have three now that are ADV for me. I haven't thrown away any juice yet though, mostly because I'm not trying a lot of different recipes and even if something isn't really what I love I manage to vape it up before moving on.
The Poems Please me project is coming to the finish line and prior to going to print they have published a free to view e-book and encouraged us to share it. It appears this year that they are using all of the artists' illustrations. If you are so inclined here is the link to the e-book

This year I actually was able to participate and did illustrations for three of the poems.

Does this mean I need several bottles for each flavor? So I can steep a single flavor in each increment?Remember to mix each flavor all by itself.

What he said
I didn't know about this approach either, of course when trying something new I mix in small batches (15ml) to minimize waste if I fail, which usually happens. Figure if I can get it right in a small batch I can duplicate it in a larger batch later. So I would have a bunch of small bottles of single flavors at X% to combine into one multi-flavored mix....or did I miss the mark?
I thought about doing it that way, but how would I know what's "right" for me if I can't compare & contrast in real time? Given I'll have about 2 dozen flavors, that's a hell of a lot of bottles to have around; I thought the 50 I ordered in 5ml would be plenty, but...
That's what I thought and why I've never done it. First off I would think many if not most would be awful as standalones, only good in combination with others. Honestly I'm such a miser that I don't want to waste any of the flavorings or PG/VG.
I also think since I'm really not much at making up recipes I think I am better off following tried and true ones.
I'm not saying I'm right or that anyone else should do as I do, I'm just telling my thought process, which may well be completely wrong.

I'm with Claudia and in general follow other's recipes for the most part. Occasionally I will try 2-3 flavors on my own mixed but never had any luck figuring out percentages based on stand alone.
I figure things like citrus in general is stronger in smaller percentages. Vanilla in different types can taste nothing like vanilla at all once mixed with other things. Etc etc etc.
An example, just made an iced lemon cookie recipe. I make every recipe in 10mls to start. It was good but I wanted a bit more cookie, obviously bumped up the cookie on the next go round without changing anything else and it worked. Or I could have dropped the lemon sicily back but I like my flavors strong. This doesn't always work but if I dump 10 mils I'm only out a few cents.
I'm no master mixologist though so I wouldn't listen to much I say

Just work on one or two flavors at a time. The way I did it when I first started was every time I mixed, I made a few recipes and a few stand alone flavors. That seemed doable for me. Just start with the ones you're most excited about and work from there.
Or not. You'll figure out what works. If it feels simpler to start out with a few recipes, go for it. Just go for it either way.
I think I like this approach. I know the 2 I want to clone and have rough guesses where to start in them, based on others replies. Then I'll also start experimenting with my creamy flavors, as those are what I'll need to tweak the recipes, primarily.Just work on one or two flavors at a time.

Nothing else here yet, so tonight I'll mix my concentrates and filter my coffee extract. Nice way to ease into all this. Thanks for all the feedback, I had no idea so many of you were already DIYers!

Have you guys seen these? Great idea. Kinda like a big mouse pad to work on. I ordered the cyan/green one.
