If your nipples are anything like my balls, the pleasure should last all night.

No one knows. That's why, after it stops, you'll now be expected to post a full-on ConcreteRiver-style flavor review and be sure to include this very important bit of information.

I'd tell you a story about me mincing serrano peppers with bare hands and the results my wife had from it but I'm not allowed to speak of it.

PSA: After doing this, WASH YOUR HANDS before absentmindedly rubbing your eyes.

3.5 hrs. You're almost there. Don't give up

Uhm...wut?

Happy New Year to you!

I love that recipe so much the exaggeration "I could literally drink this" is not an exaggeration with it. Seriously, try squirting a few drop directly into your cake hole. Being able to actually, no-joke drink 70/30 3mg Mango Blossom Macaron is all that got me through not vaping (trying to avoid dry socket after having some wisdom teeth cut out) for a few days without anyone getting hurt or killed.

I have this unexplainable urge to shoot you...

All the top posts were holiday sales and weekly threads. Not quite worth highlighting. And I’ve got an entire year of highlights to put together ;P

Too much flavoring? Shitty build? I don't change anything flavor wise in mtl rdas. It's not necessary.

You don't need to change anything for mtl attys. You're thinking of recipes for pods, which are low powered, mediocre devices for flavor

I don’t think that mtl and dtl taste the same but that doesn’t always mean more flavor is better. Try upping your percentages by 50% aand lowering it by 50%. I usually find that less is more but once doubled a recipe by accident and loved it for a little bit and then it got to be crazy loud. I realized that I liked it where it was.

The mistake here is doubling the TFA Bavarian Cream. 5% is already too high. TFA Bavarian cream contains between 5-25% Ethyl Maltol so it's no surprise you're not tasting anything. Try raising the TFA Fruit Loops to 6%, lower TFA Bavarian Cream to 2% and add another cream (which doesn't contain EM) at 1-2%. Also try adding in 0.25-0.5% CAP Super Sweet.

I generally go to the flavors page and type in the name into the search bar. The flavor will come up with an average percentage and I just use that most of the time. If I want to single flavor test it, I may go up much higher and dilute the tester haphazardly later to get a feel for it but I’m sort of lazy. I like to get a ballpark figure and then star playing with the flavor.

More often though I look at the flavor wiki here first to see what a reviewer did because you’ll usually get a description of the flavor at a few different concentrations with a shit ton more descriptions. It allows me to decide where I want to start testing it at.

If you’re lucky enough the noted team will review it on YouTube and will give you 3-4 opinions and sometimes suggestions or tips. If you’re especially lucky the video will have times tabbed for you.

I often go to the individual page last because I’m trying to see how others used it in a recipe and pairing ideas.

Hope that helps.

The flavor reviews have recommended starting %.

According to my ATF inventory, I have 437. I know there’s quite a few more than that, but I got lazy about adding them. Pretty much just add them when I use them in a recipe now. Mostly I order randomly. Every now and then I will have to restock some things, but 90% of the time I’m just buying new things to try. I used to order about 5 flavors a week. I’ve slowed down the last few months though. Still at least once a month for flavors. Once every few months for bottles, VG and PG, and Nic.

When I started I used to allow myself a $60/month budget and order twice a month. I now have about 600 flavors so I don't need to order that often. Once every couple of months usually. There are 2 types of purchases for me: Restocking flavors that I use a lot of and buying flavors to try other folk's recipes.

I don't usually buy things just to try. I learned a hard lesson when I started. I usually wait for a recipe or flavor review to come along.

Since starting 8 months ago I've placed like 7-8 orders totalling multi-hundreds lol. A little overzealous but I only got 10mLs to sample a lot and find out what floats my boat. I'm just now beginning to find out what I use a lot of and my last order was 30ml and 2oz versions of stuff like FW fruit rings and INW yes we cheesecake, respectfully.

I do also seek variety and purposefully delayed an order of essentials so I would intuit some new profiles, which was fun and interesting. Came across a gem or two.

Havent counted, need to load everything up on ATF but if I had to guess I likely have between 200-225 flavors and feel like after I place this gremlindiy order I'll be set for A WHILE. Yes I have an "addictive personally" but DIY ejuice is a much better option than heroin.

Not experienced that with nicotine. Usually it's a flavor that causes separation. What flavors are you using?

I bought a ton of nic salts to mix for a friend who ended up quitting cold turkey. So I’ve basically been using that exclusively for more than six months. I’ve never noticed any floaties on top. Ymmv.

10% is rather high. That's a good ratio to use, however without knowing the Grape flavor you bought, we can't tell you whether it's going to taste good or not.

Definitely check out the sidebar/community info. This will provide you with hours of reading. Specifically read the faq Fridays for some real in-depth info. On mobile and lazy or I’d link.

I buy my VG and nicotine from Nicotine River. $15 for a gallon of VG, $9 for 150 mL of 100 mg/mL nicotine (and the cost per mL goes down a bit if you want a larger bottle, but I prefer buying smaller amounts more often). They sell PG as well, but since I mix at max VG, I've never tried theirs. I'm sure it's fine.

Then I add a few flavors – they don't have the best prices or selection for flavors, but it's not too bad, and they give free shipping for orders of $50+. Basically you get those flavors for free, since you don't have to pay to ship the heavy stuff. I usually buy a bunch of 10–15 mL bottles of flavors that I want to try, and the ones which are good I add to my next order from BCV or Gremlin.

Bottles I usually buy from Amazon as it's cheaper that way as long as you buy in bulk. Nicotine River, BCV, and Gremlin also sell bottles, but I only buy bottles from them if I need something to push my order above the threshold for free shipping.

A scale is only a one-time purchase unless it breaks or you want something different (like a smaller scale for portability, or a larger one to make larger batches of juice). But you can't go wrong with the standard AWS LB-501. 500 g capacity (good for ~400 mL, the required 0.01 g precision you need, can run on AA batteries or the included AC adaptor, backlit and easy to read screen, can hold up to the occasional spill, and usually goes for ~$25 shipped on Amazon).

1. It won't, at least not in any noticeable way. I've seen people claim that there are interactions between different flavor molecules and that a flavor base causes that to happen. But when it comes to the finished product, I've never seen a significant reduction in steeping time.

2. I don't have an ADV but I have several one shots for the people I sell juice to because it definitely makes the process of mixing the same things over and over again much more convenient.

If you find yourself vaping the same handful of recipes often, it might be worth it. But if you're looking for a shortcut for steeping, I'd suggest just mixing up a big batch instead.

1. No not really as it still needs blend with the pg/vg/nic. Could always give INW custard a go. Can confirm it can be used in a SNV. Could also try a pre-steeped custard/cream base. Never done it but it is a thing. Search for it. There's info on it here somewhere.

2. I don't but I'm sure others do.

Fruits generally zero steep.

Everything else depends on the concentrates used. If give The Sweetener. Sorry, I meant The Man about 5 days.

Choose the best flavors for those profiles and use them at their recommended percentages. Mint only recipes are gonna be a personal preference kind of thing. I'm sure by searching the sub/ATF/flavor vendor you'll find the best brands.

If you haven't already seen it Flavor of the Week: Mint and the accompanying episode of Noted will be helpful on your quest.

Try checking out the flavor reviews and comments on the sidebar. lots of info there. Also the Flavor of the week under mints will probably have some info for you.

From 2016

It's from 2016.

On ATF it say Zupp6m6n made the recipe.

Transfer to a smaller bottle, preferably condiment-style, and then mix by weight so that pipettes and syringes become unnecessary.

ELR vs ATF

Use both. There's no reason to disregard one platform over the other. ATF is nicer from a UX perspective, but ELR has a longer history. For the socials, I go to this sub ;)

I have seen people do that here in this sub, I think, as long as no nicotine is involved. There are people more knowledgeable about the rules concerning these kinds of things. /u/apexified /u/ID10-T

Are you selling off all of your flavors because you stopped mixing or vaping or something like that?

For beginners it's recommended to pick recipes you like (or might like) and buy those flavorings. There's a good chance as you go and look for more recipes you'll get the most common flavorings used (like TFA sweet strawberry, CAP v. custard v1, TFA graham clear, CAP sugar cookie, etc). Once you've seen a number of recipes and read their development notes, you'll understand how flavors work and how you can use or adjust them or even create your own mix. More often than not, mixers who try to do it on their own without prior knowledge will fail because they lack the understanding of how the flavors work.

​

The benefit of the above approach is you slowly build your collection while being satisfied since the recipes you'll likely start out are the tried and true or widely loved recipes in the diy world. Or, if you didn't like some, you can be sure that you'll use some flavorings for other recipes. The fear with your approach is you might spend so much on those flavorings, try a few, don't like them, and chuck the entire endeavor altogether.

​

Since you already got them, I recommend trying to still research recipes you'll be interested in, and if need be, purchase those. (side note: I Hope you didn't get TFA honey hehe). In my case, I started with maybe 15 recipes which called for around 25+ flavorings. Now I have probably 80 recipes (all taken online, as I have no capability to experiment myself) and around 100+ flavorings.

​

If you're interested in cheesecakes though, DIYORDIE has a good cheesecake base online. Adding fruits is generally easier, but can still be tricky coz the fruits need to stand up to the potent cheesecake base, but adding too much and it'll mute the flavors.

​

Happy hunting! :)

Which cheesecake flavors did you get?

Also paste your order in this thread and you'll surely get some suggestions!

Have no clue what you're talking about so I guess for me, never lol

You can post it in any of those places.

Front page requires that you share development notes, of course. But if you want to get helpful and applicable advice for a recipe you're working on, you'd want to include those anyway. Make sure to include details about why you chose the flavors you did and what specifically you're not getting that you desire and people will be able to recommend substitutes or changes that will get you closer.

If you're just after a certain profile you could ask for recommendations here or in the 'suggest a recipe..' thread and then get ideas from the recipes that are recommended.

I wouldn't really think you'd be able to discern that small of a PG difference. But anything is possible. You can get some VG and add to your preferred ratio.

I don't know if I've ever heard complaints from LB nicotine. How much water Malone did you use?

Yes, 300/88=~3.41
