So I am pretty new to diy ejuice. Been vaping for about 2 years and just got tired of spending so much money on juice. I am the type of person who will diy anything whether it be brewing my own beer, growing my own "herbs", shaping my own surfboards, etc.. Just love the feeling of creating something great.. better than you can buy.. for a fraction of the price. So naturally I was drawn to making my own juice.
Finally got around to doing some research and what not. I thoroughly read the sidebar content and countless threads on different aspects of mixing and notes on flavors I was interested in. I placed my first order for supplies and flavors about 3 weeks ago. I decided to go with some clone recipes I found on this subreddit and buy flavors for those as a start. And yes, it was definitely just a start. After 2 weeks of playing with flavors, I am borderline obsessed and just placed a $150 flavor order to keep things interesting.
Seems like a good community here and I look forward to sharing notes and such when I have some worthy of a post. Also, shoutout to /u/Enyawreklaw. Your strawberry vanilla ice cream cone recipe sounded tasty as fuck, which prompted my second order and I figured what the hell.. I'll throw a few dozen more flavors in my cart I've been eye fucking for the last few weeks. So now, for the next week or so I'll be impatiently waiting whilst mixing every possible combination of the flavors I have on hand. My girlfriend thinks I am crazy. Maybe so, but it's fun! Cheers!
Awesome! I love when more and more people go DIY. The industry started this way, and somewhere down the road we lost this aspect of vaping. A revival is coming especially due to all the hype over shit products, and price gouging. Just follow the notes here and check out Vaping Underground and ECF as well for great recipes and notes. Keep mixing and you'll get good in no time. Great stuff.
Edit; I also hope you got a scale. Please tell me you got a scale.
Yes. Well, I already had a scale which ended up fitting the bill for mixing so I'm good to go. Fuck pulling on syringes lol. I've been browsing recipes on VU and have already begun planning my next flavor order haha. Ill have to check out ECF. I'm hoping once I get a good grasp on these flavors and what they can do I can begin crafting some quality recipes of my own. Ive got your channel subbed on Youtube, I'm liking the style of your vids.
Awesome. It'll make your life so much easier. And thank you so much for subbing. Means a lot. More videos and recipes this week. I'm dropping one of my favorite recipes I've ever created this week so I'm sure you'll have to place another order soon lol. But keep mixing!
Is it the chocolate chip cookie? I actually had the thought of such a juice a few weeks ago thinking how good it would be. My favorite dessert right there. Big plate of chocolate chip cookies and a cold glass of milk. Yea if you cant tell I'm ready for that recipe haha. Ill def be mixing it up.
I always think that next time I order I'll bulk and get some bigger bottles of stuff I'd probably mix in bulk that I've developed. Then I notice a flavor I don't have. 10 minutes later my cart is full of 80$ worth of 10-15ml samples and I completely pass over the bulk.
Haha. So much for spending less money. Although, since I started mixing vaping has been feeling less like a habit and more like a hobby so I don't mind spending the money on it.
It's still a ton less than I was spending on cigarettes before I quit. And honestly it's still less expensive than buying juice. At around 10ml a day give or take its still way easier on my wallet. All in at 400$ give or take since around Christmas. But I still have enough stuff to last until next Christmas or longer.
Yea, I started diy so I could make juice cheap, and somehow I just keep throwing between one and two hundred down every Couple of weeks on more sheet. When oh when does it end?! I have soo much mixed juice suddenly laying around (other people's recipes) and just handed off like 6 30ml bottles to my brother, etc. So I guess it's paying itself off, but I already want more flavors, and i still have a shipment of something like 10 FA flavors on the way today. Lol
