To be honest, I haven't tried many different juices, or mfgs of juices. I've tried maybe a handful +2, and its the first handful that made me get into mixing.

Most of the flavoring I have,I bought to make a juice that sounded good, but just didnt work for me...I like using this site mostly for rummaging through for recipes...

https://www.lediypourlesnuls.com/

I like the pictures lol ;)

Then I read the recipes and go ok, I can make that... and then make a lil taster of it. Transfer the %'s to http://e-liquid-recipes.com save them and revisit later if they pan out.
The biggest reason I've never tried my hand at DIY e-liquid is I know I'd just mess up the math real bad.Funny I can whip out codes for programs and do the really big math stuff but the simple things like percentages just gets all jumbled up in my skull until my eyes damn near cross...Not kidding!

No math needed, plug the desired percentages into that eliquid recipies site that socal linked to and it tells you how many ml to add for nic, vg, pg and flavorings. That's the easy part, coming up with or finding a mix that you like is the hard part if there is going to be one.

The math part is pretty simple...use the many online mixing calculators plug in the % recipes call for...and it give it back in grams...digital scale and weigh as you go.

Similar to this...

Or by weight, I still use syringes. My digi scale only goes down to 0.1 so haven't gotten into mixing by weight ;)

Yeah, they don't even cost that much anymore. I really should grab one but I've been using syringes for a couple years now and fine with it.
The scale $ can go towards a never normal cap or NRC DT & ring for the haku to match the Pulse's Kawi green doors :D

Well fuck me running I didn't know there were online mix-master sites.
Last I remember there was something called (EJuice Me Up) which I just recently downloaded again...Sigh!

I can vouch for those scales, some of the best I’ve owned, used them multiple times a day for over 3 years on the original battery no less.

I don’t mess with syringes anymore, too much of a hassle. Got this graduated plastic beaker set from eBay for 5$ (nic river has the same ones)
And do 500 ml batches faster than I could do a couple 60 ml bottles. Hated drawing vg into a syringe.

They come out so much better with new swivels, can spin at full speed with my DeWalt impact.

Guess the ones I had on previously were going bad

TINY bit of "Acetyl Pyrazene" adds "nuttiness".
Just go real slow - like try 0.5%, and whatever you do, don't get near 2%.
There's a flipover point somewhere - it's a light nuttiness....a little more nuttiness...then allofasudden, BAM! - it turns into Fritos.
Like, unmistakable, F R I T O S. Corn Chips.
Weird stuff. Smelly, too.

Yeah it's like SUPER FRITOS! the minute you open the bottle. :giggle: I usually use TFA hazelnut DX to get the nutty effect; it's a little easier to work with, a little more subtle than either AP or CAP's hazelnut.

I got the 3D squonker built. There are quite a few things I don't like about it, but for the price and if you already have a board and 510 lying around it's ok.

The squonk hole is a little tiny and there is no obvious method to get the output wire to the 510. The designer just lays it up against the top of the case which I didn't like, so I cut a groove for the wire with a Dremel ball mill. I would have much rather had the battery and bottle reversed, making it a side squonk and easy wire routing.

I have other bottles inbound and will be chopping some off of that BF tube. Also the PoS 21700 is just temporary until my KeepPower 20700's arrive from Illumn. :)

That's why there are DIY ejuice calculators. http://www.ecigvape.com/pvn_calculator.php

I'm a total math doofus... but I can measure stuff! Been cooking for years.... and I think you cook, too. If you can cook anything more complicated than a bowl of cereal, you can DIY ejuice.

I think if the bottle and battery were switched, I'd fear any juice leaking on the chip set, and it would be a 3d printed VT-Box ;)

What

I cannot see is why not an edge squonker?
Went to a bit of trouble to put the bottle at the edge and then made a pokey hole squonker?

TD said they would want them switched, I said it would look like a VT-In Box since the squonk hole would of moved additionally the 510 would be centered. But I do agree that the squonk probably could of been edge

A DB2 style cutout would have been better, but I think the squonk option was an after thought to his regular 3D boxes. That offset tubing drives my OCD crazy, but it's using a 25mm Varitube BF and could have been made straighter with a 22mm one closer to the edge.

I could put a Sherman RDA on it will just a tiny smidgen of overhang on the sides. Trying to find a build for that with a DNA 75 would be quite the challenge though.

That RDA I linked above, is from Pe Ma and Raphael of 67 mods, watching the live video now...interesting RDA... Similarities to the Flave Deck, but both posts are on the same side... more designed for the high Ohm/low wattage vapers... Not a MTL...air compared to the NarDa in volume. They are in talks still about which caps will come with the RDA...Ultem/Delrin/Acrylic stock.

For 100mg, you just move the decimal place back for every ten millilitres.

10mg is 1ml per 10 ml
9mg is 0.9ml p/10ml etc

Turned mine into an edge squonker :)
Also fucked up the original door and threw another together from a storage basket. It works, but isn't pretty
It's a rat rod...

That Ijoy showed up today -

Think I need to step back, at first I was feeling pissy and hyper critical about it - then realized had been squonkin' top-shelf mechs all day and was likely just being bratty with unfair comparisons, lol

But, it is certainly no power hitter

What are you using to store your batches?
