My lazy and passionless approach to mixing good juice
submitted over 9 years ago by palalab

A little about me: I vape, and I'm cheap. The latter was my inspiration to get into DIY. I am not going to set the world on fire with my recipe for Dingleberry Pie With A Dollop of Mango Sherbet And Jolly Rancher Sprinkles. I just want decent tasting juice cheap.

So, my breathtakingly simple approach involves bulk VG, 36mg/ml nic in a PG base, and a small collection of flavors that taste really good by themselves, with a recommended mix ratio (again, by themselves) at or near 10%.

My dripper/subohm formula: 3ml of nic base, 3ml of flavor, 24ml of VG, and I have 30ml of 3.6mg/ml juice at 80VG/20PG. This could easily be adopted for lower-wattage mouth-to-lung (i.e. Kayfun/clearo) users by increasing the nic base to 12ml and decreasing the VG to 15ml, yielding 14.4 mg/ml at 50/50.

Easy as Dingleberry Pie.

I am always interested in discovering new flavors with the above characteristics (taste great by themselves, at or near 10%). My favs so far are Liquid Barn Pink Lemonade, Baked Cinnamon Roll, and Butterscotch Graham Tobacco; and Capella Gingerbread. I have a few on the way from One Stop DIY Shop that purportedly will work well in my "system," and would love to know if any of you have recommendations.

Don't see why you're catching slack here. Not everyone is after super hyper complex premium juice.

I like your approach and it truly saves you time/money.

I don't know man, something about the word dingleberry just rubs me off the wrong way. I can't imagine a dingleberry pie.

If you like lemonade mixes, try out Lorrans Lemonade. You could also stem into 2-3 ingredient mixes, many are very straight forward like the classic - http://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/104221/Mustard+Milk+-+Simple+Strawberries+and+Cream. And many recipes like this one use versatile ingredients.

You could also try out some of the flavorings that are mixes themselves, brands like Molinberry have a few good ones; - Indulge, shock & attitude. Personally, I tend to stay away from those kind of premixed flavorings mainly cause they tend to be a hit or miss cause taste being subjective and all.. But imo, it is worth a 2$ sample to find a one ingredient ADV.

Just because you want to take the easiest "lazy" route possible doesn't mean you can't contribute to this community. Post your views and findings on the flavors you do have/get. As in, what does it taste like to you? Does it have any similar taste to a popular food or candy? Sharing this helps both new and experienced mixers alike. There are so many flavorings out there it is very difficult and time consuming for just a few people to keep doing all the work for everyone else that frequents this sub. Everyone needs to contribute for crazy awesome recipes to happen.

Heck, I am currently working on a strawberry marshmallow flavor that taste very close to Bazooka Joe strawberry bubblegum. Once I got it down I'll show my research and notes, If I have to much trouble tweaking it I can always ask this community for their opinions or advice.

Thank you. And, BTW, it was/is my intention to contribute with this post (ie for those looking for "super-easy"). Going forward, I will post results as I try/accumulate more single flavor winners.

Agreed. LA lemonade at 6% is tasty.

LB's Pink Lemonade made me cough and was too harsh for me by itself. FA Fuji is a flavor you could probably ride with solo if you wanted to, or even just add a little bit of TFA or FA Pear to give it a little more.

Both FA Fuji Apple and FA White peach at 4% can be fantastic single mix juices, although I add a smidgen of sucralose or em to sweeten up. CAP NY Cheesecake at 8-10% is not bad either

Single mixes? Look at FW.
