My uncle used to drive a truck (still might, not sure. Kind of a piece of shit) and he used to live with my grandma. This meant two things: he was hardly ever home, and I had easy access to his room. Curious lad that I was, I naturally spent a lot of time snooping through his room. I found the holy grail in a large cedar chest in the corner of his room. Best I can figure, he spent a good chunk of money in the late 80’s and early 90’s on porno mags. So many porno mags, so little time. The thing about it was that they’d spent so much time in that cedar chest that they all smelled like cedar. Very distinct smell.

What’s all this got to do with this sub? Well, just got some new flavors in and mixed up a test batch of Euro Flavor American Blend Blue, and boy does it bring back some memories. Smells and tastes just like that old cedar chest. Maybe a little bit of sandalwood, but mostly cedar. Doesn’t really taste like a light cigarette, which is what they lead you to believe, but it’s still pretty interesting.

Well, i bought my first order last week, 23 flavours, and now, i already have a new list of about a dozen new flavours i want. My first order was based on a combo of the top first flavours listed here and the most used flavours on ALF, and a few recipes i picked out. Thought i had a good first order, but now i realize, the most used flavours tend to be "helper" flavours. So, most of the stuff i have requires steeping or other flavours to compliment those helpers, and i don't have much to make SNV. Now, i'm trying to round out my fruity flavours, with things like the holy trinity of blueberry, juicy peach, FA pear, a good watermelon, Pineapple combo of INW & CAP Golden, Raspberry, FA lemon sicily to round out my LOR Lemonade, Any specific recommendations would be appreciated

Bring back the weekly highlights!

Hello, i recently bought a 1L pre mixed bottle of 70/30 pg, (starting out new) and i have some questions as i am new to this and would love for some help!

1. Is it okay to use the pre mix 70/30 PG?

2. Is all i need flavoring, and nicotine (optional)

3. how long would a 10ML flavoring last? (10-15%)

4. Whats a good basic recipe to start off with, Im seeing online that there most receipes use 4-5 flavourings, is it a bad idea to use one?

5. Can I empty out old juices and reuse the bottles, as well is a syringe good enough to measure %, id rather use that than a scale!

6. Whats a good cheap flavouring company, are there any ones to avoid (UK)

7. Is this a good start of receipe

• 70/30 PG VG
• Energy Drink Flavoring (10~15%)
• Nicotine (Optional)

Thank you, if you can only answer some of the questions that will still help!

Thank you!

/u/playingfromtherough how'd that recipe turn out?

Haha no love /u/Apexified

Hey, posted my first order on the weekly beginner's thread, could you take a look?

After lurking for a year, im excited to participate with y'all to say the least

I wanted to share a root beer recipe I whipped up yesterday as soon as my order came in. This is my first attempt, although I researched average flavor uses and flavor notes here on Reddit prior. I am loving it and I think it's pretty good- but any notes or advice would be very welcome :)

FLV Root Beer 2%

CAP Root Beer 3%

RF SC Soda Base 1%

VT Creaming Soda 1%

CAP Super Sweet .75%

WS-23 (30% Sol.) .35%

(Optional- Vanillin (10%) .25%

This is much sweeter than I normally mix my juices, but I'm going for a soda so why not right? I don't have much experience with RF Soda Base or VT Creaming Soda since they both arrived in the same order. I didn't want it to be too harsh from the soda base, though someone did recommend upping it to 2-2.5%, and I was a bit tentative to go higher with VT Creaming Soda as the concentrate is like pitch black. Again any thoughts would be great!

Is there a guide to one shot concentrates? Just want to build some one shot bottle concentrates so I don't have to measure one flavor at a time...

Hi. Has anyone noticed a change in the pg at NicRiver? I usually buy a liter at a time, but just got a gallon and noticed a smell I've never noticed before, and it tastes pretty funky by itself. I'm still on my juice made with previous batch, so I don't know if it tastes off in juice or not. I've been making juice for over 3 years, and have never come across this. Just wondering if a strong smell is still within tolerance for PG and if anyone has experienced this, or knows what could cause this. It's an extremely strong smell. Thanks. (edit: I have sent an email, but it's too late to expect a response tonight)

update: they are looking in to it and sending a replacement in the meantime.

No weekly new mixers question thread this week? I notice the sidebar link to it now links to this post.

I've got a bottle of nicotine from NicRiver that I bought a couple months back. Opened it recently and it's dark, looks very oxidized. After making a couple bottles that turned out harsh, I make an unflavored test and yep, definitely the nicotine. Being that it's a couple months old and I've already used a bit of it.. Any chance of getting something, even a discount on a future bottle? Not sure if I should try to keep vaping it, try to exchange/something it or just toss it.. How would I safely dispose of 150ml of 48mg/ml nicotine anyway?

Edit: I'll call this issue resolved. I emailed NR and got a fairly quick and lengthy response from Wes. He explained that the nicotine couldn't have oxidized due to their nitrogen sealing of the bottle but that being stored at room temperature would have caused it to turn sour. He offered to replace both bottles and ship them out today. I responded and asked only for a replacement on the salts. I prefer them over freebase and being that it's been so long since I ordered them and have already used a portion of the freebase I didn't expect both of them to be replaced. I'm satisfied with that resolution. I'll be checking the condition of the nicotine upon receiving it and I'll keep it in the freezer.

I ended up making an unflavored test of the 100mg salts. While they aren't nearly as harsh as the freebase, there is a definite off-taste that I feel I would still pick up on when mixed with flavors.

I'm now left with almost 300ml of nicotine that I won't be using. What is the best way to dispose?

Should I dilute the shit out of it and dump down the drain? Or would it possibly be accepted at my local hazardous waste drop off point? I know they take stuff like paint, batteries, electronic and chemical waste. Nicotine should be covered in that most likely, right?

Just a quick question; I've been slipping on keeping my large batches up to date and have grown tired of fruity flavors and SnVs...I have some creams that tend to take about 7-10 days to mature. I vape about 15-20mL a day so I was wondering if throwing a 30mL of a cream into my heated ultrasonic for 10-15min would do a lot of harm considering it'll likely be gone in 2-3 days anyway? I know "speed-steeping" is frowned upon, but if I can get to some creamy goodness immediately, I'm all for it.

Do I have to change anything if I use a nic-salt base as opposed to regular nicotine when calculating ejuice percentages?

What would be a good substitute for CAP Super Sweet, really looking to make Water Malone, but couldn't get super sweet with my latest order. I have everything else for it. i have TFA Sweetener and Cotton Candy. Would either of these work ok?

I’ve been vaping for years, and diy for a few months. I recently got a juul for convenience and as a back up. I want to duplicate the cool cucumber flavor, not using nic salt just a normal e juice. Any insight on the recipe???

Looking for direction on a blueberry lollipop. Was thinking holy trinity for blueberry but unsure about direction for the hard candy. Just building off fw hard candy was one idea but thought that might introduce too many flavors I’m not looking for.

Thanks for all the tips, I want to make normal juice I just liked the flavor. I don’t want to refill the juul pods more trouble than it’s worth.

Looking for suggestions on custards, a liquor chocolate, apple pie filling flavors and something else you might suggest.

Hey guys, I've been vaping VG+VG based 24 mg (totally unflavored) for about a year now but I always find myself lapsing to cigarettes or cigars whenever I drink, because I crave that tobacco smell / taste.

What TFA flavor is the best tobacco? No BS flavors, no weird stuff, just something that at least smells like tobacco (I don't care too much about taste because it's the smell of tobacco that I like). I want to go with the cheapest TFA tobaccos they offer on Nicotine River:

RY4 Double, Western Flavor, Red Type Blend, Turkish, DK Tobacco, Cigarillo, RY4 Asian, RY4 Type*

Any ideas would be appreciated. I don't really want to get in to mixing or flavors I just want a tobacco that I can vape while drinking to supplement the serious urge to smoke when I have less self control. Everything I read so far is indicating "Red Type Blend" but I want some advice here. Harsh is fine as long as it smells and maybe tastes like tobacco, I'll be drunk while hitting it.
