All this stuff was waiting on me when I got home (minus the vape)! First time DIY-er, so let's see how this goes.

Where are all those bottles you will need?? Hope you will enjoy your new hobby. It is definitely rewarding once you figure out how to do it.

The benefits of being a convict (Australian).

Just a tip. Put a strip of tape over the numbers on the syringes. Otherwise they will rub off.

Alright OP wheres those tasty recipes it's been 2 hours since post :)

First one needs a little tweaking and a name but here it is:

60/40 VG/PG mix with 8mg nic.

5% TFA blueberry.

2.5% LA cream cheese icing.

2.5% TFA whipped cream

It doesn't taste bad but the cream cheese icing is completely masking the blueberry. I'm gonna let it steep for a couple days then take it from there.

I wish! I need a better mod before I get a dripper. I'm still using an evod.

Fair warning before you get started - That pineapple will melt and absolutely wreck those plastic syringes, so go ahead and order you a glass 1ml syringe on eBay for doing flavorings (they are also way easy to clean). I've had the same issue with Pear, Banana, and anything citrus, for future reference. I don't have green apple, but I suspect it might melt plastic as well.

Good info. I've been playing around with the pineapple and banana today. I'll be sure to give them a good cleaning.

Is that a nautilus mini tank?

1 points
 
by penguin_bowtiesalmost 11 years ago

No it's a protank 2. I picked it up about 2 weeks ago. I had problems with the evod clearos leaking like crazy. I wasted probably 30 ml of juice with them.

Oh gotchya, ya it took a bit of moding to get my protank to not leak. But I eventually got it. Nice set up though. That should last you a while

1 points
 
by penguin_bowtiesalmost 11 years ago

I'm happy with the protank. Now I'm just saving up to get a decent vv/vw mod. Any suggestions?

A few percent of Jamaican Rum in any sort of tropical juice. Sick as tits!....sorry, just watched a Rip Trippers. lol

I was going to try to make a piña colada and what good is that without a little rum?

Put clear tape over the syringe measurement numbers! They wipe off from like the tiniest amount of pg/vg

One of my all time favorites. Sorry for blurriness.

Careful with that coconut extra. It is extremely potent and can destroy a blend if you use more than 2-3% in my experiences, and that may even be a little high.

2 points
 
by penguin_bowtiesalmost 11 years ago

Thanks. I actually learned that one the hard way. My first batch of piña colada ended up being just coconut flavored.

Few recommendations that will save you time and frustration, and ease replication. Understand that you're going to make some mistakes, and some hits while you go through the learning curve.

Get a scale This one comes with calibration weights, so you won't need to buy them separately. Check the sidebar for information on how to measure by weight.

Once you have the scale, get some pipettes that amount to $0.02/ea and can be rinsed and re-used, but for that price, I'd rather not hassle.

Third, get rid of the open beaker(s) and get an Erlenmeyer flask set. Much easier to swish liquid around in, and you don't have to worry about it splashing around when you swirl it (voice of experience). For under $60 you could be set up for repeated success!

Good luck. And I just checked the prices on the stuff I linked, and I'll be damned if everything didn't drop in price by $4-5 on all the items! Get them while they're cheaper.
