Filled my first tank of my own juice!

I just want to say that this sub has been extremely helpful for me to get into DIYing. There is a lot of great information all over the web, but it's great to have a community like this to back me up.

This was the second juice I mixed, but the first that was ready to vape. The first was a 30/70 pg/vg 6mg juice with 5%TFA Black Tea and 5% TFA Cherry Blossom. I think it may have potential, but it needs time to age, as the tea flavor is very perfumey.

The second one was a 50/50 6mg 5% TFA Passion Fruit 5% TFA Elderberry. This juice was ready to go from the start. It is subtle, with the sweetness of the passionfruit and the tartness of the elderberry on the exhale. I could see myself paying premium vendor prices from a juice vendor and being very happy with it.

It's very satisfying to mix a juice that is good enough to be an all day vape. I cant wait to try some more combos, though I can tell by a sniff test that some flavors will need to age before vaping as they are very perfumey.

Congrats and welcome to the DIY E-Juice world! I would try adding less of the Black Tea next time as the TFA teas are pretty potent as are many of their flavoring agents. I've been mixing for about 4 months and I just have to say I love TFA and doing it myself!

Congrats.

I agree with Meta, a little less on the TFA black tea, it's pretty potent out of the gate. Age doesn't really help it too much though, it's got a floral background note that never really goes away.

Congrats!! It is a great feeling :) i'm very new to diy, and it is amazing how easy it is, so far. I'm sure I will quickly make it very complicated as is my personality lol.

I read a lot here and ECF and picked up quite a few short cuts. My favorite is to pre mix 100 ml of base (from my 100mg base down to 100 ml of 18% 50 / 50 base) Now i just take 8ml of base per 10ml of finished juice, add flavors, and top to 10 ml with PG. Works very slick and quick.

I've done mostly single flavors, but the below is my best yet.

50/50 PG/VG 18 mg

TFA Blackberry 9% TFA Rasberry 6% TFA Tuitty - Fruity 3% 1 drop TFA sour per 5 ml finished juice.

I intend to play with the pecentages to draw elements forward and back, so stil a work in progress, but sems like a great staring point.

I am 100% TFA for now, planning on other manufacturer flavors later.
