I'm a super noob when it comes to almost all things E-Cig, however after switching from chewing tobacco two months ago I quickly realized that one of the reasons for my switch (to save money) was not possible unless I made my own juice.
So me and two buddies split the cost on all the equipment, ordered up some flavors and I sat down to craft our first batch.
We all kind of expected to end up with some nasty un-vapable junk juice...but we could not have been more wrong!
We managed to make 3 flavors that completely blow the lid off of anything we've bought off the shelf! This was extremely surprising as our local B&M carries some damn high end juice.
The veil has been lifted reddit. Thanks to you guys I am now completely confident in this decision and sitting on a ton of Juice that would have cost me a fortune at retail price!
Here's the recipes in case you're interested! These are for 15ml batches. We made 120ml of each and split it three ways. I know...%'s are missing, but you can do the math.
Feel free to laugh at the gag names I gave everything :)
Strawberry Yum Yum is a strawberry and cream cheesecakey flavor.
Deez 'nana Nutz is like a banana nut bread.
and Razzle Dazzle is a raspberry custard.

Going in with friends is definitely a good idea to split up the starting costs, plus now you have something to with your buddies besides play video games.
That raspberry custard looks pretty good. I might mix some up on this week's juice day, since I still can't get myself off the custard vape train.
One note for you on future recipes, it'll help both you and anyone trying to mix your recipes to include which vendor the flavours are from.
For example, TFA for the flavor apprentice, FW for Flavor West, etc etc. This helps because percentages from one vendor will not work as well for another and could mess up the flavour profile of your mix for someone using a flavour from a vendor different from you.
Otherwise, these recipes look great! Welcome to the rabbit hole.
ha it really IS a rabbit hole isn't it?!
That's good info though. Like I said, I'm brand new. I'll be sure to add those to my future recipes.

Good job! Also, a side question. What do you use to print the labels? It looks nice!
Thanks! Microsoft word dude, I had to input the dimensions of my specific labels, but if you buy generic ones they'll have pre-programmed sizings in word.

Damn, those are some classy bottles!
Could I ask what company BD is? I've never seen that abbreviation before. And TDA I believe should be TFA/TPA (The Perfumers/Flavor Apprentice).
Great work on the recipes, and welcome to the community
