Hi, my name is sascha, and I’ve been vaping since May 4th, 2018. I’d been a smoker for 34 years. In 2015 I’d suffered from a laryngospasm, which is exactly what it sounds like. Though at the time, having no frame of reference was truly terrified. It’s when your larynx spasms and your throat shuts. Completely. No air in or out. I can’t be sure it’s smoking related, but it brought home the fear of suffocating to death. Still, it took over a year to quit smoking. But that was a driving force. Vaping is the first successful avenue for me to quit cigarettes. Now I’ve tried nearly every juice made, and found three I love. The vaping ban, the impending vaping ban has me so outraged, can you imaging them taking away something that has the potential to save our lives? I turned to the world of DIY. Now I’m about four weeks in. I’m still at the single flavor testing. Building up my arsenal. I’m so happy I made the switch. This reddit thread has been a wealth of information for me. A pocket in the world where people don’t think I’m nuts for vaping. I’ve had sisters and parents tell me they’d rather I smoked. Seriously. The world is upside down. So thank you for this. All that you do.

The part I just read about jalapeño vape juice actually killed me 😂😂😂 I haven’t laughed that hard in ages. You are one funny funny person!

I’m Johnny Saamyavaadee on the discord, I just got into mixing like less than a month ago and made my first flavor like five days ago. It was a terkish maize clone cus I wanted to see if I could copy my favorite flavor. Lol it didn’t come out that great. The next flavor I’m gonna try and do is lime pistachio cus it sounds awesome and easy.

I got into DIY cus this is the only thing that’s worked for me to keep me off of cigarettes, this is the only thing that’s worked for my family. My dad had a heart attack some years ago and I caught him stealing cigarettes out of the ash tray on the front porch. He didn’t have an excuse and couldn’t even look at me, defeated, he just didn’t know how to stop. Me and him had tried the gums, patches, lozenges and experienced the night terrors of chantix. I hadn’t had a cigarette in over a year at that point. So over the next year through trial and error I got my mah, my dad, my sister, her husband, and my brother into vaping. No more ash trays on the front porch, no more stealing cigs in the night cus one of us ran out, no more morning coughs, no more ash all over the front porch after a windy night.

I’m not just getting into DIY for me, I want to be able to make the flavors my family likes so that if they ban it in New Jersey I can at least keep them stocked. I can’t complain about the cheaper price point or the endless options of flavors, but I’m not going to have my family wind up going back to cigarettes so the companies that had a hand in my grandmother dying of smoking related illnesses can claim the rest of my family or me. Also I have prohibition criminal lineage so why the fuck not.

Wayneo here and Canada checking in. I've been around these parts for close to 4 years. Came here after my 1st store bought juice was so full of sweetener I'd get headaches from it.

Yeah, I'm a freakin master chef, sure I can clone that. And there it was after a week. In the trash. Non salvageable. Yeah 5% TFA Mango, 5% TFA Pineapple, 5% TFA Guava. Don't try that at home.

I use Snapple flavours for inspiration, or what combo's I see that look good for recipes, but just use them as a skeleton for my %'s.

My taste buds are all over the place so I can't really comment on %'s for others. If you make a recipe and it's bang on with the description, make a few more from that same mixer.

I’m Christian, located in Texas. Started creating flavors and mixing at a small business that’d I’d gone to for 4-5 years. After dropping so much money on juice it made me realize I can save a lot more money by doing it on my own. So I’m doing it on my own.

I was going to amend my terse introduction on discord some weeks ago. However, in the spirit of full disclosure and transparency, and because all of the discord mods know better by now...I'll post it as originally written

Great post as usual /u/Apexified

> hi folks, I'm Mike, I'm joining the ranks because of the current political climate in the USA and I'm really scared of what is to happen

I'm squids! I got into diy a couple months ago after trying to find a satisfying peanut butter juice and failing. So I decided to make my own instead. It's been working out great so far and I've really been enjoying mixing

I'm Snarf from the good ol Midwest and I finally took the plunge to DIY when the initial ban was being discussed. I was super apprehensive as vaping isnt a hobby of mine but knew I didn't want to stop quite yet and it would save me money.

This community has been pretty great. I diligently read the sidebar but was still a little worried about getting the calculations right. Another user who recently started in DIY was kind enough to talk with me and answer questions. So I took a leap ordered a scale off amazon and my first supplies order! I've REALLY enjoyed it and now consider making juice a definite hobby I dont have a ton of flavors but I love the creative outlet its given me.

My first favorite all day vape was what I called Candy Berry and it was 2 different watermelons, Pink Candy (by RF which unfortunately is now discontinued) & Ripe Strawberry. My white whale would probably be a good ADV mango.

Hello there. I'm Mary. I quit smoking with vaping about 6 months ago. I found this subreddit right away, and have been lurking ever since. I don't have an adv, yet. I was a pastry chef before becoming a full time mom, so the idea of diy appeals to my creative side. I'm interested in testing single flavors at the moment. Figuring since taste is subjective, I'd rather have fun experimenting and learning them individually. Then, eventually go on to try other's recipes, as well as create my own.

I've vaped for 8+ years, but just now started mixing in response to the total ban in MA. Now I don't have to worry about the current anti-vaping hysteria driving me back to cigarettes, and I'm really enjoying the creativity of mixing my own juice

Hello, I've been lurking for since I got into DIY about a month ago. I smoked cigs for a really long time and was a part time vaper and part time smoker for the last several years. I was finally able to drop the cigs in March of this year. I was spending too much money on Juul pods, and all the commercial juices I found were too sweet. So, I decided to take the plunge. I tried to avoid it for the longest time because I tend to geek out on things until I get burnt out. I have been trying to take things slower with this because I don't want to get burned out on it. This sub has helped me out tremendously, and I have learned so much from you guys. Thank you!

Copied from Discord, where I haven't been as active lately as I'd like:

Hello, all. I'm an occasional contributor to the sub, Lemon and Custard flavor fiend, and DiYer for two and a half years. Unless you've tried my Key Lime Cheesecake, you likely don't recognize my name, as I lurk way more often than I post. I teach High School, build coils on my pretty old tank, and mix about 120-300 mL every couple weeks for myself and my wife (almost always a bottle of Dinner Lady, something I'm working myself, and a few other trusted recipes.) I commit a ton of DiY sins including mixing by drops, and tend to treat mixing juice less like chemistry and more like cooking. Any day now I'll finish my clone of Blue Dot's Dots Custard that I promised over a year ago.

Started vaping about 7 years ago on cigalikes and moved on to the joyetech world. Started DIY about 6 years ago as I was spending tons of money on crapshoot flavors. Have spent the last 5 years vaping forest fruit on max vg going from 21 mg nic to 5mg now on my way to zero eventually. I stick with aio devices as I know I'd fall down a crazy rabbit hold tinkering with rebuildable devices.

I started vaping about four months ago. I am 49 years old and had been smoking about a pack and a half of cigarettes a day since I was 15.

I am late to the game! But vaping has become my new passion, and I haven't smoked a cigarette in months now.

When bans were starting to become a concern, I started looking into creating my own juice. I am determined that no one is ever going to take this away from me. I've started building a small but respectable collection of concentrates, and I am proud to say that I have created several of my own recipes (some are hit and some are miss), as well as crafting juice from recipes that were recommended by others.

I'm getting better at understanding how flavors work together. I get excited when I get a new idea for a recipe, even if I'm sure someone has already thought of it before. I enjoy cereals, fruits and custards the most.

My white whale is definitely a lucky charms recipe. I'm getting close on that one! I don't really have an ADV anymore, because I have six mod/tank setups at my desk, and usually take at least two setups with me on the road.

This forum has been invaluable to me being a novice juice mixer... To all of you who offer help and provide information for everyone, I thank you all.

Sup all, I'm Frank aka broke_n_mixn on ATF. As you might guess, being broke originally got me into mixing, albeit a bit unconventionally. I've been vaping for what seems like forever, around 2013, originally to quit cigs but after I succeeded I fell in love with it so I stayed. Over the years I experimented with diy small steps, such as using vg to dilute my store-bought flavors to stretch more life out of them or add vg to cheap high pg juice and mellow them a bit. Also made 0nic coffee vg juice off of online tutorials a bunch of times. But took my first giant leap into 100% diy this year, maybe 3-4 months ago after lurking this sub for ages and wanting to save money (and it couldn't have been a better time being that I live in NY).

Very first "real" recipe was a pretty gross homemade one because I only had like 6 flavors and none matches any complete recipes posted, so I winged it. Combined 5% CAP Sugar Cookie, 5% TPA Vanilla Swirl, & 2% FW Butterscotch Ripple and it was overbearing. So I tried to mellow it with my only fruit flavors on hand (TPA Dragonfruit & Strawberry Ripe), and it made it digestible but had so much flavor by that point I had to dilute it with vg and ruin my 3mg nic target. Luckily soon after I gathered up enough funds to place a proper flavor order after doing sufficient research so I could make some staple recipes like MotG and others. Since my flavor library has been expanding and expanding.

My best advice to new DIYers is don't rush into it; do as much research as you can before you make your first purchase, and listen to the advice of others! I can be pretty stubborn sometimes (bad combo with being broke, you make poor choices lol), so I thought that if I understood enough about mixing basics, I could get into DIY much cheaper than others were saying you could. Instead of mixing by weight, I had access to volumetric measurements already so I figured measuring by volume would be good enough (big mistake, the recipes weren't coming out right, nic doses were off, and it was A LOT messier & requiring more equipment than weight measurement). Same with my first nic purchase, I wanted to save $ so I thought it'd be fine to buy 70/30 3mg nic with a 60/40 2-3mg/ml target in mind (HUGE rookie mistake that I see people here make often as well). I immediately had to make a 100% pg nic purchase right after because it was impossible to make anything decent and I had zero wiggle room to adjust flavor percents, and it ended up costing me more than it otherwise would've if I wasn't so stubborn and thought I could "cheat" my way into avoiding buying too many products. I have regrets, but the bright side is that the experiences have taught me a ton in a short period of time. So RESEARCH!!

And lastly, my white whale is most definitely a clone recipe I've been thinking of trying to make for years, especially lately since I've gotten into DIY. My favorite store-bought juice of all time is a now-discontinued juice from VapeCraft called Pie Face, it's like a mellowish Apple Pie with hints of whipped cream and cinnamon. My desire to recreate this recipe has been jump-started after I recently realized that VapeCraft actually sells flavor concentrates, which puts me on a great starting point as to which flavors and brands they might have used in Pie Face. It was my EDV for years because that site had great deals, and imo was the best thing on it. I have no idea why they discontinued it, but that's the magic dragon I'll be chasing for the next few months :)

btw thanks so much /u/Apexified for the recognition AND the generosity of sending me his LB-501! Stay tuned for a new scale review!

Holy shit /u/Apexified - that quote about TFA Jalapeno is absolutely hilarious, and very Aussie. Can you tell us who that was? I'm laughing my sides apart

G'day all 🐨🇦🇺

Got into mixing late last year after my state started clamping down on vape legislation. Aussie mixers, please reach out to me! Spending countless late nights agonizing over conflicting notes and tenths of percentages is my new fetish.

Sincere thanks for the wealth of information you all provide ❤️

Hey I’m from the USA, I’ve been active in the discord for a little bit. I’m hoping to win the flavors to get into DIY

Hi there. I'm Kitus. I stumbled down the rabbit hole back in late 2016 when I got tired as shit of my supposedly cheaper way of getting my nicotine was still costing me about $100 a month between coils and juice. Did my research further, and started going ham, joined a few discords and got active as hell for a bit in the reddit. First actual recipe i took on was a clone of a dead juice for a local vape shop for a friend, a very chilly rainbow sherbet. Made it close enough. Came back to it about 2 years later, and he loves it now.

I seem to specialize in odd flavors and recipes. My current best is a maple bacon donut that's good as is, but is a gnat's fart away from perfection. Just need to sneak some saltiness into it. My white whale is whatever odd profile jumps into my head and sticks. Just did a frozen yogurt that doesn't exist. Just need more feedback on how to fine tune it. Next up is a profile based on Pokemon (and the berries therein), capturing the scent of a night at the pub, and one invoking the smell of local arcades in the 80s/90s.

The biggest thing I want to contribute to the community is that you need to review everything, but most especially recipes. We lob these things into the ether, and we don't see a dime on them. Feedback not only lets us know people like our stuff, but lets us know what is or isn't working. Hell, while I learned a LOT watching Wayne's videos and a few other shows, I learned more mixing other people's stuff, and then shooting the breeze with them. You don't need to leave a book like I tend to leave on the recipes. But dear god, it's helpful, since I can't taste what you taste, and you may find something different than I do.

​

Good luck with your mixing. I'm proof it works. After dual using for a few years, I'm currently 7 months smoke free, and feeling more creative than ever. You can do this. Start simple, find something that tickles your brain as yummy with a short steep (like a shake and vape), because tom petty was right. The waiting is the hardest part. Once you've made a few batches that work, and you know how much cheaper it is overall, you'll never want to go back.

​

Welcome to the rabbit hole. It smells pretty damn good in here.

So I started vaping a little over 10yrs ago with ego pens. Hated them, there was only maybe the 1st MVP regulated mod out at the time but it wasn't what I wanted. Went with mechs&rda's. About a year or two into vaping I started having trouble with store bought juice, it always gave me headaches, whether it was too high PG or had certain flavors on it that triggered them. Found the FB group Free World DIY and posted looking for help. There were 2 people that took me under their wings. One taught me the ratio method of testing flavor combos, I trouble with how to just "guess" %s of each flavor. Since then I haven't bought a premade juice. I honestly can't remember my very 1st concoction but I do know what my ADVs are, peaches&cream, raspberry cream and caramel apple. Don't really have a "white whale" per say but I do have 2 different combos I'm wanting to experiment if my health ever improves. As it stands atm my husband has to help with bulk mixing, as in pouring the 1,100mls or 2989mls of vg, whichever amount I'm mixing, into the juice containers bc my hands are weak. Oh I live in NC. Did I hit everything?

Guess I'll toss my hat in the ring. When I first got into vaping I explored diy and never made anything as good as the store bought. So I went back to store bought. A fellow Redditor sent me a link to a recipe of a juice I'm quite fond of not too long ago. I gave it a shot and I'm never going back to buying juice again. Thanks to everyone!!!!

Just dipped my toe into DIY mixes. Starting with some simple mixes and experimenting with percentage values.

Thanks for the roundup and those YouTube channels at the bottom are a big help! I have subscribed to most of them and I'd love to chill and listen to some DIY mixing podcasts.

I'm not on discord but I'm pretty active on Reddit and YouTube.

Thanks again for the resources!

Original post from Discord:

Hiya, I’m Akkinis and from Oregon. Fairly new to DIY, but nearly five years cigarette free. I ended up quitting over night with my first vape purchase after smoking for 15 years. My flavor profile tends to stick to the fruity side, dessert/custards have never really done it for me, and every once in a while a menthol/cooling hits the spot. My husband and I started with pen setups, currently using an Aegis Legend with a Cleito 120, though I do have a Limitless rdta that I’m kinda meh about.

" i just realized i haven't done this yet! Hi! i'm Darthy( /u/helmet648 & /u/thefrugalvaper on reddit). i'm a bit of an oddball. been vaping almost 3 years now, diying for almost 2. it helps me curb my sweet tooth mainly, but also helps me with other things as well. love vaping and the diy aspect especially. wife and oldest kid and her boyfriend all vape too so its fun around here. "

Give me the flavors! I need flavorings!

Hey peeps my name is Rick. Some of my friends call me Richard Cranium. But whatever. Been vaping for about 6 years and my 3 year anniversary for doing DIY is February 21st of this coming year. Yay! I'm sure my story is like many others. I walk into a vape shop to buy some juice. But through the miracle of modern medical marijuana I forget about a new sin tax that just kicked into effect. You know how they do. Slithering around and sniffing about. Seeing if they can find some hard earned cash they can steal from people. Ain't gonna lie. They got me. Once. Vowed that day those turds would never get another fucking penny from me when it came to ejuice

Hello! I'm the not-a-doctor DrBrogbo, I've been vaping for 4 years now, and I got started in DIY fairly early on because I wanted to clone a Wint-O-Green Lifesaver recipe from a somewhat-local shop that charged $40 per 120mL. Since then, I've accumulated a handful of other flavors, semi-successfully cloned a few other recipes, and am working on a clone for SVRF Satisfying now. I don't quite have the tea base right, and I won't be loading it up with as much sweetener as they did.

This place is a god-send, and while I'm more of a lurker than a contributor, I chime in every once in a while with my newbie perspective to help out others just getting started. Hell of a giveaway for you all and Flavorah to do here!

I've been vaping for 5 years, started DIY within a month. I started feeling better right away, I know I smelled better! Thanks to Reddit, my forums and great recipe artists, I'm still around.

Art: Hi I'm Art from Houston and have been vaping for about 5 years. Former smoker for about 15 years. New to DIY, just tired of buying juice online and retail. Have been interested to dive into DIY for years but just procrastinated to this point. I am not too picky about trying new flavors but I do know what flavors I do not like (cinnamon, chocolate, acai, red apple, lime, anise, rum.)

Hello everyone! I’ve never done a proper introduction so here goes. I’m 46, been vaping for about two years now. I started vaping on a recommendation from one of my doctors to see if nicotine would help with nerve pain that they couldn’t help solve with medications. Crazy enough it worked and here I am. I’ve always been the type of person that gravitates to diy for everything I get into. I started looking into diy about 6 months ago and once I found out it was not only possible but easy and fun I was hooked. The help, insight and friendliness I have found in the diy community is amazing. The first recipe I tried was called candy bar. Like vaping a snickers bar! I always went with bakery style dessert juice when I bought commercially. I wasted a lot of money on juice that was awful and have been so pleased with everything I’ve tried off diy sites. So happy to be a part of this community! Props to everyone that shares what they create. You all inspire me!

Hey all. Im lionhrt, old AOL email name from way back and stuck. Im midwestern guy been lurking for awhile and learning as I go. Got into vaping and mixing in general as something to do to keep me off booze and cigs. I got rabbit holed almost right away in dyi when I mixed my 1st juice and there was no comparing to commercial juices my wife and I had tried. My 1st adv was dark strong from elr. Ry4 mix. Still love it. Im up to around 250 flavors and still going. Been vaping around 2yrs haven't smoked since im 45yrs old and love all aspects of this hobby. Construction management by trade. Not sure what a white whale is but didn't look either. I've tweaked quite a few recipes by subbing flavors to make someone else's recipes. Just recently reorganized flavors and going to try to single test flavors over the winter and start creating my own. Regular rotation are muffin man spot on, Wayne's watermelon, a coffee variation then seasonal juices I pick up from atf. My main process for mixing is starting with one flavor I want to use and doing research on others success.

From the discord,

Hi guys, all the way from India. I've been vaping for around 4-5 years, started with the aspire Nautilus mini and currently mainly use a kylin II. Stayed away from premium e liquids for the first 3 years, (used to order hangsen and then yaeliq) but since starting the premium stuff can't seem to get enough :) Hoping to keep things a little more manageable financially, as they are a little more expensive to import to my country, not to mention we are in the midst of the government banning sales and import now. One of my favourite flavours is nasty Cushman low mint .

I'm addition, my goals would be to get the recepie of a nice mango juice similar to Cushman and like my name says, I am looking for an orange chocolate cake recepie :) I had vaped one from my local juice maker that changed the profile I like from fruits to desserts (it was just fantastic). Any help/suggestions with these would be just awesome.

My name is Darian. I am a 35-year-old musician and composer, currently teaching guitar and theory while in school, myself). I have spent the past two years trying to transform my life in every fathomable respect. Nutrition, fitness, knowledge, faith, you name it. Also on the list of things which had to be changed: Smoking.

I switched to vaping in April, and haven't touched a cig since my first taste of ejuice in the shop that evening. I got into researching DIY after a month or so of vaping, because I was having trouble finding 1mG juices (I began at 12, then went to 6, then 3, within approximately two months. Probably too fast, but it worked for me), and I kept seeing DIY mentioned everywhere, usually in tandem with some mention of cost reduction. As someone who used to get by as an online poker player, I will say that I quickly learned how -EV buying commercial juice was in the long run.

After watching tons of youtube videos and lurking on ELR, ATF and here, I eventually ordered 1L of pre-mixed base and six random flavors. I just wanted to start with single-flavor juices at 10% (I was vaping through a Nord AIO at the time), .9mG or so.

I've since accumulated about 25 flavors, and I have been experimenting with various combinations and percentages. This subreddit has been especially beneficial to me, whether due to my own interactions with other mixers, or reading the exchanges and interactions between others, and taking note.

Currently, I am at a crossroads of sorts. Last month, I got my first box mod, tank, batteries and charger. While it was definitely the right move at the time, I'm beginning to wish I had opted for an RDA. I am very interested in diving headfirst into complex mixology, but I don't feel 100% confident in sharing my current recipes without having tested them in the most optimal setting. I could very well be mixing off-note-laden juices that only taste good through my quad mesh coils.

So, my dilemma, as it stands, is deciding whether to save up for more flavors, or save up for an RDA. Receiving 50 flavors for free would make that pretty #€%$!& easy!

Hello! I'm Donnie, but you can call me bug. (: I live in wonderful Illinois. I make a lot of music and I run a podcast called My Mother The Lizard Person. (Still building up that presence while balancing life and work.) I'm 2/3 of a web-based grindcore/noise record label and distro called Dickcrush Records, and I release acoustic/folk punk/freak folk under my other label Shaking Dog Tapes. I do graphic design, and I also make rap music. Im a nerdy foodie with too many obsessions. The way I create my music, my art, my food, and my juice are all an extension of my urge to create.

I have been a vaper for almost five years now. (Time freakin' flies apparently.) I lurked and lurked this sub for the first four(ish) years making mental notes, bookmarking every useful bit of data until the day I took the plunge into the DIY world. Then, even with all the wonderful advice my human minded meat suit let it's ego roll and just cut corners and I made almost every rookie mistake there was. Soon seeing the errors of my ways (and my shopping list) I reordered and found that without commercial levels of sweetener I cannot taste strawberry for more than a few pulls of that sweet, sweet little mutant rosebud.

My first vapable recipe was an Oreo O's cereal that will need to be revamped because it's centered around RF Cookies & Cream. My white whale and an ADV are one in the same. In half a decade, I have never found it. I could tell you what juices I'd like to clone as an ADV but as soon as I successfully managed such a thing, it would no longer be seen as such. My mind seems to be riddled with tendencies bread of an undiagnosed attention disorder. Bring me to the best restaurant and even if I agree with such a sentiment I will want to go to the next innovative restaurant.

If there was once juice I could clone though, it'd be Port Royal by Hold Steady, but last I checked they weren't around anymore. Don't see that one happening.

I don't really know what other territory I can ramble my way into, so I'll just stop here. Thanks so much for everything everyone of you has done for me, and every mixer old and new. We're all eternally grateful. And if someone isn't, they're obviously a lizard person.

Hi, I am Cindy, AKA goosegirl. I will be 65 years old next month, and couldn't be happier to have lived this long. Yes, old ladies can build and mix, we just do it with reading glasses. I am a retired teacher and live in Florida with my dogs and geese on 5 acres, a dream I have had since childhood, but spent most of my life as a rolling stone.

I smoked over 30 years and switched to vaping nearly 7 years ago. I started DIY e-liquid 7 months ago, but I have a long history of making my own food, clothing, and dozens of crafts. I decided to start DIY when the Super Sweet in commercial liquids was giving me issues. I had watched some videos years ago, and wasn't interested in the days of syringes, but love mixing by weight. I have explored so many flavor profiles that I hadn't touched when buying a $20 experimental commercial liquid wasn't worth the trouble. I don't really have an ADV, but switch profiles all day long. I think all my travels have given me a curiosity about flavors, and has influenced my purchases, so I have made some very poor choices, but I am improving with the help from fellow mixers. My white whale is chamoy. I just haven't found the right chili flavor.

Hey everyone, Leah here. My wife and I have been trying to quit smoking for quite some time. Managed a 6 month stint last year, and finals (she was in school, but has since graduated) did her in, thus did me in. So about 2 months ago we decided to try vaping instead. I wish I could say we have completely quit, but alas, not completely. BUT, we are down significantly, and each day is better. So with the decision to start vaping at nearly the precise time our country has decided to have an uproar over the whole thing, I decided if we were going to stick to it, then I needed to learn a lot real fast, including how to wrap coils, and wick, and make juice. I can say vaping has been the only thing, cessation wise, that has seemed to work well. Last year, the patches were good until the step down. Mints, gum, cold turkey, got us no where. And I just can't bring myself to take a prescription medication to get past this. So, about 2 months in, here I am, trying to learn everything I can, and plan to put in my first order by the end of this weekend.

Hi I’m Duckie. I fell down the rabbit hole real fast! I smoked for 8 years and then one day my friend gave me her pod vape to try, wasn’t as bad as I expected (previous brief bad experience a few years ago had put me off trying again) and I went out and spent £40 on a MyBlu and cartridges. That was the day I understand the difference between 9mg Nic and 18mg nic!!!

That definitely cut down my smoking but a couple weeks later I tried another friends refillable pen style and thought ‘woah this is great’. Bought that one (another £40, plus probably £80 in a few weeks worth of commercials while I still didn’t know what I liked) and found in a couple weeks I preferred vaping to smoking!

Can’t remember actually how I found DIYing (probably because at least 50% of the very expensive juices I was buying sucked) but all of a sudden I had read every page on the wiki and joined the discord. In one weekend I had so much advice from everyone (thanks so much Discord regulars!) and had spent another £150-£200 on a box mod, RDA, RTA, a bunch of flavours, nicotine, VG, PG, batteries, wraps, cotton, wire etc etc etc etc

So it was a very expensive and very fast rabbit hole but so glad I fell down it. I was spending £100 a month on smoking cigarettes and constantly stressed that I smoked too much and spent too much. Now I’m all set up for my vaping, I’m making the money back so fast. I love it and unlike a boring cigarette there is actually artistry to it - it’s a proper hobby!

You guys are all the best and I love this community.

EDIT: oh yeah you’ll probably all think I’m insane but the only ADV I’ve found so far is Grack Juice. Lots of other juices I love (shout out to Pineapple Candy on ATF) but Grack Juice is what I reach for when I don’t want to think, I just wanna vape and be delighted.

Copied from #introduce-yourself ハロー, I am Kuri and I like cucumbers. Kyuri (cüe-lee), is a member of the Cucuritaceae family that includes melons, gourds, squash and pumpkin. If I can ADV these vegetables I will be happy in Land of The Rising Sun. I am vaping now more than two years but 0mg nic is only in Japan. I was getting nic from underground scene Yakuza family but B&M is arrested now eating fish heads and rice. I found mixing guys on reddit and use name kuri_sanTou, means with cucumbers. I found discord there too. My dream is to eat large dill pickles in a bag from the United States

Born in Illinois, but since joining the Air Froce, I've lived in California, Italy, and currently in Arizona. Been vaping for about 3 years and start making my own juice about seven months ago. Didn't really start getting into it until about three months ago when I started paying more attention to the subreddit. Just recently joined the discord and all you have been super helpful. I tend to lean towards fruits, but I've just recently started enjoying custards and ice creams a bunch as well.

​

Holy crap, a lot has happened in the five months since I posted that. I have now been mixing for just over a year and I have gone from knowing nothing and having no idea what I am doing, to knowing almost nothing and barely knowing what I am doing. In all seriousness though, the people on the subreddit and Discord are extremely helpful and I finally feel like I am at a point where I can help others out as well. I love collaborative mixing and I love providing feedback on other people's mixes. If you ever want a second opinion, and I have the flavors for your recipe, hit me up! I now vape all different kinds of profiles, but my favorites are still fruits and custards.

I got into DIY because of the cost and the awesome recipes on this sub. My first recipes was: mother of dragon's milk and cozy cookie. One of my favorite recipes right now is sick af.

I’ve mostly done diy for the last six years, a majority single flavor mixes. I have finally branched out to more complex mixes. I like the diy community because it’s Marxist at its core and allows us to steal the means of production back and save some scratch.

(My user name on Discord is Almi'zi, and this needs to be rewritten)

"Asuhhhhhh, I'm going to be getting back into mixing my own juice, I have my first RTA coming in the mail as to save money on buying Prince coils every week and I want to cut back on the $25+ a week in juice. I am looking for pointers in the right direction and to learn to be able to do the same for other newcomers in the future. "

​

So since I joined the discord and got into DIY I have been learning more and more, from the guys in Discord being awesome, to helpful, and even coaching me with my sketchy batteries that I was using. I have had so many people that have been OVERLY helpful and they go above and beyond. I will always speak kind words of the people that are in the DIY community because you all are awesome. I need to get more flavors super badly, though, and need to get out of my funk with not mixing lately.

Supppp completely new to DIY juice but not so new to spending loads of money on hardware and expensive premium juice. I'm a pretty good cook in the kitchen so thought I'd put that passion into my second love vaping 😂

Specifically looking to make tasty Nic salt juice for a mtl rda and fruity stuff for my subohm. Travelled round Asia, Malaysia South Korea Japan and spent far too much time in local vape shops trying all the weird and wonderful stuff available. Try Ais Kachang!

Can't wait to get a lil more adventurous with flavours once I've got the basics down!🤯 Favourite mixed juices gotta be the clown/bad drip stuff. Just so Juicy... I'll get there eventually!!

I have an account on discord but I just find it all a bit frustrating to navigate. Anyhoo I've been vaping a year and mixing after the first month I Vaped.

I cook a lot and I find the process very similar. Within the last few weeks I've moved on from mixing other people's recipes to substituting ingredients to make the profile better fit my preference. Wayne diyordie, noted, and developed are my favorite youtube shows. And it goes without saying this sub has been an extremely important resource for my mixing education.

I have a few co-workers that made the switch and I mix a lot of Grack for them. Which is nice because I prefer desert flavors and it gives me a chance to broaden my horizons.

Edit I live in Albuquerque, NM one of the blessed states that has been ban happy

I started smoking somewhere between 13-15. By the time I quit i was an almost 3 pack a day smoker. In 2015 a friend sent me a vape, the istick with a kanger tank. I haven't touched a smoke since. I'm now a rebuildable only user, and decided to try my hand at diy juice. Especially happy I made this choice to try it out a month ago, considering all the flavor bans and such. I love fruits, candies, desserts, and drink flavors. First few flavors were all fruit. A raspberry lemonade, lemonade, and peach gummy. They were decent, but I'm looking forward to getting much better and making something truly delicious.

I'm from Illinois. Been vaping since 2017. Had been a smoker since 2000. Early 2018, I got into DIY because the cost of commercial ejuice. I did my research instead of just buying random flavorings and hoping for the best.

I checked out the top 50-100 recipes on E-liquid-recipes.com, picked out a handful that intrigued me and bought the ingredients for those.

Mixed those, some others and experimented over the next couple months.

I placed another order to pick up missing ingredients to make a various other recipes that I stumbled across that also intrigued me.

Once again over the next few months, I mixed and experimented. Doing it this way gave me time do proper research, get a feel for mixing, discover the profiles I liked and understand how ingredients influence each other.

With mixing, since I was starting from community tested recipes. I'd make two 10 ml batches of a recipe. One of them I'd tweak by adding/subbing flavors/changing ratios and the other I'd keep as the original recipe.

I kept it simple when subbing/adding/changing ratios by affecting one flavor at a time. This helped me develop a sense when it came to flavors.

The first recipes I bought ingredients for were:

Internal Leak of Cutwood Unicorn Milk

Goofy's Juice

Rocketman but better

My first substitution was accidental. I grabbed the wrong bottle when making Vape John's Rocketman. Ended up swapping CAP Super Sweet for TPA Sweetener and loved it.

My next was intentional. I was out of TPA Blueberry Candy so I subbed TPA Berry Crunch for it, found that to be fantastic and dove down the rabbit hole.

I've had lots of ADV's:

Goofy's Juice

Rocketman but better

Unicorn Milk

Tina Dancer

Strawberry Jam Monster

Stawbarb Bears

Boss Reserve

Viserion with WS-23

Dinner Lady Lemon Tart

Frozen Fruit Gummies

Twisted Biscuit

Golden Grahams

RY4 Gold

My white whale is based on this: https://savoryspin.com/salted-chocolate-drenched-spicy-sweet-potato-fries-5

I'm waiting on an order from the UK to show up so I can get started on that.

8bitmelody on the discord.

hey guys. ive been lurking on the subreddit for a while, just realized there was a discord channel and thought id hop in. I think I've been mixing around 4 years. I like playing with tobacco and desert profiles, but ive gotten lazy over the last year or so and my go to adv has become cap sugar cookie @ ~4%.

 Hello all, my name is Rich and I'm a couple weeks shy of 48 and from Pennsylvania. I started vaping around 5 years ago to help kick a 25+yrs smoking habit. Haven't touched a cigarette since my 1st tank of ejuice. I've wanted to try diy for at least a year to save $ but couldn't afford to take the chance of making a bunch of crap that's unvapeable. I finally took the leap a couple weeks ago and bought a few flavors and a bottle of 80/20 3mg premix. Now with all the BS about flavor bans I'm glad I did. 

Since finding DIY_eJuice on Discord and adding the above introduction 1 month ago today I've found the greatest community who are there to help all DIYers in any way they can. I just wish I had found this group 5+ years ago when I 1st started vaping and I could have avoided so many problems and saved a fortune wasted on store bought ejuice. Thank you to all who have helped me so far.

Hello I’m dooni. I’m not a regular of this sub, just a lurker every now and then. I bought my first order a year ago, the NicRiver DIY kit, and made a few bottles. They weren’t good, and I had very little free time then to really work at it. My scale was also acting up, the LB-501. So I put it off, until these bans.

I’m obviously back now and planning on staying, I’m reading every post and saving multiple for future experimentation. Got nicotine stored in amber glass bottles the freezer. A lot more flavors to play with. Fixed my scale (leveled the plate, it came crooked apparently). And I’m having a lot of fun. Some of my bottles are still not very good but I can see what they might become after a few more weeks of steeping. I mixed up a raspberry ice cream flavor one night and instead of using VG I used PG, so I have 240ml of that flavor now. Which is still PG heavy.

But yeah it’s been an interesting time. Thanks to the whole subreddit for all the work that’s been done already to make this process easier for us now.

Hey there, I'm from Washington state and they flavor banned me so I've started the journey in DIY. I bought a few one shot flavors to get me started and am already seeing a big advantage to DIY! My white whale is a sour blue raspberry champagne ! I have no idea how to achieve that but if I won this I would mad scientist the hell out of it! I'm loving the forum and all of the help from you all!

Hello everyone! I'm from Washington state and a mechanical engineering student, with a history of making things from electronics, computers, metal, machining, wood, chemistry, gold and black smithing, and a collection of others. I have been interested in DIY juice for a couple of years, but never seemed to find the time to actually try it or really delve into the craft. Since my state banned selling flavored juice, I thought it was time to learn more about DIY and dive in. I have never made e-juice before, but I have a history of chemistry classes and other weight based fluid mixing experience like resins. I usually enjoy fruity flavors, tending towards berries. I still build my coils for a drip mod, and have been vaping for around 3 years, and started as a way to curb my anxiety. Never smoked.

I am getting up the courage to place my first order for supplies (and plan to try running it by the "check-my-order-please" dischord when I do) I am thinking that I will start with a recipe for Unicorn's milk that I found on this reddit. I would love to find or make a recreation for Lady Bug by ecignvape. I am IdeaSmith on Dischord.

Hi everyone.

I'm from Brazil, 28, male.

Started vapping to quit smoking 2 years ago. Here at my country, premium juice can cost a lot, so i started to mix my own juices.

I would love to win this contest, because here all flavours are pretty expensive and pretty hard to find flavorah.

I already convinced 3 friends to change the cigarette for vape . Hope to increase that number.

Good vape for everyone!

Hi, I'm David, I'm in the USAF, stationed in Albuquerque, NM and I've been mixing since Feb '19. I was known as mixnjuice for a short time, but gave up that persona so it could be used for an open source project. I mixed when I was in Italy some back in '15, but that was mostly because I didn't like the 50/50 PG liquid at the shops there. I've been vaping since '14, but I have still smoked at times and I finally quit smoking on the 4th of July. I have not bought a bottle of pre-made liquid since I started mixing or even felt the need. At first I wanted to try DIY to save money, so I can afford my higher end tanks and RDAs, but it's quickly become a hobby that I enjoy. I like to vape all kinds of fruits, normally in a cream base, and I like making abstract recipes as well. I vape something different every day and have about 14 recipes I've made that I cycle through, as well as testing new ones. My first recipe was a blueberries and cream, which I only vaped for a few days and haven't made since. I am a hobbyist programmer and feel compelled to contribute to the free resources available to the DIY community any way I can, which is currently the mixnjuice project.

Hey there, I'm Briguy520(on Reddit and Discord) and im from AZ. I've been mixing for a little over month, and I've really enjoyed it so far. This community is an invaluable treasure-trove of information, and ive been learning so much from everyone here. Thank you!

Introduction From discord:

Hey there, ive been vaping for about 3 years now. Used vaping to quit smoking cigarettes, after being a smoker for 13 years. I mainly enjoy fruit flavors, and that's mainly what im interested in mixing at the moment. I've been reading the diy_ejuice sub off and on for a while, and ive decided to jump down the rabbit hole. Im looking forward to learning from this diverse group of talented individuals, so thanks!

I’m ravin187. I live in Massachusetts. So that’s why I want to get into diy.

I’m a passionate vapor. I’ve been wasn’t ungodly amounts of time on twitter trying to educate people about the terrible scone being relied upon by the anti-vaping crowd.

Been vaping 4 years after smoking for 20. Never felt better!

Thanks for a giveaway.

I'm CharlotteRain. Just a normal guy. Insurance agent, gamer and nerd. I started vaping about 3 years ago after coming from smoking two packs a day. I don't make as much money as I did when I was in the car business so I have become a cheap bastard and I am tired of paying $20 a week for ejuice.

Heya! My name is Bailey, and I've been vaping for about a year and a half now. I started smoking at a super young age and decided to switch to vaping after it became a bit more popular. I love to play video games, do graphic / motion design, and just chill and hangout. I got into DIY E Juice because Michigan banned flavours, and I decided to take things into my own hands. The flavour ban is lifted in Michigan now, but I am here to stay for the other benefits of DIY. I am already on the discord server and am fairly active there =)

Thanks for the giveaway Bryson, and thanks Apex for hosting all of them for this community!

I'm RunsWithBullshit, came here from reddit. I've been mixing ejuice for about 7 months now although I usually just end up making 4% menthol, .5% sweetner 70/30 6mg

​

Adding to that original discord post...

I'm from Illinois. I started with a gift of Vape Wild's DIY kit and some extra flavors, I can't remember my first mix exactly just remember it had Butterscotch in it. Soon after I ended ordering additional supplies, the AWS 501 scale, glass bottles for storage, 1 gallon vg, 1000ml pg, 500ml 100mg nic in pg, menthol crystals...

​

Figured I would make my own 10% menthol flavoring and still try out the remaining Vape Wild rebranded flavorings. My first menthol/sweetener mix was 10% menthol 1% sweetener 70/30 6mg. Way too high menthol for me, ended up finding my sweet spot at 4% menthol .5% sweetener. Unlike most flavors I have tried this I can vape all day/week/month long and not lose my taste for it, this is my ADV.

​

I feel like I hit the ADV lottery, extremely low cost to make and while I do tend to make a month supply when I mix it I feel it's best when freshly shake and vaped. The downside to it is I find myself not mixing much else.

Hi , I’m on the discord but always forget to go look on it as I’m the busy father of four kids , I got into vaping last year as I was going to start smoking again after a particularly difficult time in my life and a friend suggested skipping the stinkys and just vaping as workin for th prison service we can’t take fags in side but we can with a vape and it’s helped me a lot I use it as my crutch on difficult days , I got straight into rda/rtda’s pretty much straight away but have recently come back to using my falcon tank for ease . I got into diy as I like to tinker and play with things and I won’t lie I’ve been doing it since maybe January and about 90% of my own recipes have been utter dog tripe but I’ve had some little gems here and there that taste amazing to me but awful to others . I recently thought I’d try some banana nut bread and banana fosters from tfa and I’ve never experienced anything like it , I didn’t realise something could actually taste of vomit that smells so nice . I’m now working on a clone of vampire vapes Heisenberg for the wife , I found a recipe online and it’s close but not close enough as she’s a fussy little thing so onwards and upwards .

The one thing I will say I don’t think I’ve seen the usual arse hole I’m betting than thou comments on this sub like you normally get on reddit

Well it was a long time ago I introduced myself on the discord so I'll make a new one here for the entry.

Hello, I'm NeuerTK on here and on discord. I'm from Southern Ontario Canada, and started DIY about a couple years ago. I started after I found this sub, and all the tools and info provided in the sidebar. Still on that sidebar regularly actually for flavour information.

I started vaping tobacco flavours, then moved to fruit and so that's where I started mixing, but DIY has allowed me to experiment with different profiles, and now will pretty much vape anything with no real ADV. Have at least 6 different juices on the go. Variety is the spice of life?

My white whale? I dont have one. Theres so many different options here and so many different recipes that you guys have created, never have to vape the same things twice.

Thanks to all of you for your recipes, your help, your knowledge, and just for being a great community to be a part of, even if I'm not really regular at posting

Hello I'm 31 from Arizona starting vaping 2 years ago to quit chewing. Looked into diy about a year ago but it didn't taste good. It was the vg pg nic mix with the shots of flavor. It was horrible. A friend made me try their Homebrew and now I'm hooked. That's my story and I'm sticking to it lol.

I introduced myself a while ago, but I'll make a new one, for the sake of giveaway, haha

Once again, I'm 23, from Serbia.

I actually started diy mixing since I was buying from a diy-er, we got kinda good friends over the few months or so and I just decided to do it myself, since I've been making some recipes with him.

Anyways, first thing I mixed myself was Mother of Dragons milk, loved it. My first own recipe that I liked more than "eh, its fine, vapable" was Apricot stone. A mix of apricot and vanilla:

3.5% INW Apricot

0.5% TFA Peach Juicy

1% FLV Greek Yoghurt

3% TFA Vanilla Cupcake

2% Vanilla Swirl

Currently, I don't actually have an ADV. It used to be Viserion by I-D10T, but I kinda had too much of it, so now I just go wildly random until I miss Viserion enough. Haha

That'd be it, I'm about to make an order, and I'll cut myself short of some FLV I wanted, for good luck😅

Hi my name is Elijah. I’ve been vaping for almost three years now (helped me quit smoking cigs). I’m originally from Sisseton Whapeton Sioux Tribe. I now live in Fargo ND. I initially was buying over priced juices locally until I stumbled across some DIY videos on YouTube. So I ordered starter pack from nic River. I tried to make a strawberry peach menthol recipe which came out horrible lol. But I just did a little more digging and found that I was putting way more than needed. After a little time and research I got better. I know have a handful of good recipes I go to. I like fruit flavored juice the most, one I’m stuck on now is papaya mango cantaloupe. I have 80+ flavors to mix. I love to try new flavors by just throwing things together to see what it tastes like. I think that’s about all I have to say. This discord and sub reddit has helped me a lot with recipes and questions and helped me become a better mixer. You guys are the SHIT!!!!!!!

Tell us a little about yourself: where you’re from, what got you into DIY, your first recipe, your ADV, your white whale, and/or anything else you care to reveal about your journey down the DIY rabbit hole.

-Brian from Louisville KY. I just started vaping 6/2019 when I had wisdom teeth removed, never stopped, never smoked since.
-I DIY because it's there
-My first recipe: 70/30, 20mg (VG), 5% TPA RY4 Double
-My ADV currently is a blue raspberry cotton candy, because I'm an adult and I like flavors
-My white whale: Chocolate covered cherries with caramel that I call: Terminal Cherry (I'm close)
*I call the White House often enough to recognize voices, I vape I vote, I know where to be on November the 9th @ 12PM and that's in Washington DC.

from the discord:

Hi y'all! I'm Carlos, an astrophysicist from Spain, in the great Canary Islands, West Coast of Africa... (btw JayWay on ELR/ATF)

Some months have passed, and have come up with some recipes (mostly tobacco, VCTs, fruits and drinks) which I really enjoy, much more than any commercial stuff. Got down some nice pod ones for the mom, who doesn't quit completely, but getting there.

Got complimented by a friend that started recently to vape and said my cigar was "too realistic" which shows that each person is a world.

Failed miserably with blueberries and tobacco, and found peaches are weird, but mangos rock!

I'm from the RY4 mothball-tasters club (I know some more exist) and like to change my ADV every day. Now working into a rich banana... tobacco (obviously).

I feel for the challenged community because of the moronic bans, trying to help newbies on and off-line, but feel as a science guy that in the long run science will make us bigger and stronger!

eeyyyy - thanks for the spotlight Apex!

It is a very simple recipe, but quite enjoyable nonetheless :)

Hey ya'll. started vaping about 8 years ago, long story. but I've been flipping between flavors a long time, and finally decided the only way I was going to find something I liked was to make it myself. trying to work my way backwards on nic, since I started this mostly for the flavor, but I'm really digging this whole community and the whole chasing the flavor dragon aspect and seeing what crazy things people have put together. currently rocking a Double Barrel by Squid Industries with a Valyrian 2.

Sandy from Michigan here. Slipped down the rabbit hole about a month ago, after trying vaping to stay of the cigs. Quit smoking last winter, but my brain really wants that nic after over 30 yrs of a pack a day. Started out with a gas station cig alike, moved on to filling a clearomizer with tobacco flavors bought on line. Then our governor went insane and did the ban. Just when I thought I would finally stay off the cigs, and was feeling good about it. Panic ensued, and in researching how to lay in a supply of nicotine to spike 0 nic juices with, I was sucked into the diy world. A couple of weeks later, I ordered supplies from nic river and a cheap scale. My first recipe attempts included mustard milk and prickly victory. Took some tweaking because I am apparently a strawberry non taster, but a couple weeks in and I have vapable juice! I am cheap by nature and necessity, like any kind of diy, and the direction our govt is headed scares me, so being able to make my own juice is awesome. Thank you to all the folks here that help make that possible. I really feel vaping is much better for me than smoking, and I have convinced my husband to quit the cigs too. I wasn't looking for a new hobby but I think this one found me. Time to go back to lurking so I can learn more and hopefully be able pay it forward some day. I like mostly fruit based flavors so far, but may have to attempt the Ferrero rocher candy recipe I saw, those things are irresistable.

Hi from Wollongong, AU. I’m 36, been smoking 23 years. Vaping for 5 months. I could no longer afford the costs, and my child was disgusted by how I smelled. I have bought a total of two commercial juices, before spending up on concentrates and getting into DIY. I am slowly but surely SF testing, reading, asking questions and contributing to the community, which I just love being a member of. I prefer fruits, candies & beverages. Branching into creams, bakeries & custards now. I switch up juices every tank, but I can’t stop going back to grape slushy, and a combo of my mango & my strawberry. My unicorn is the ultimate coconut juice. Sticky, candy sweet, front/mid/back all over coconut flavour like the inside of a bounty bar. I would use it as a stone, and do coconut versions of everything I can find.

Michelle Hughes from the beautiful state of Alabama. I'm the crazy chick on twitter who won't shut up arguing with public health. I started mixing about 6 months after I started vaping (2015) because I love cooking and wanted to turn my food recipes into vape ones. That really worked out for me after being diagnosed with diabetes. I could vape my sweets and not go crazy since I could no longer eat them. I started vaping after a diagnosis of COPD and wish I'd tried it before that happened. Mixing is a lot of fun, and yes I've tossed more than a few of my creations, but I've also discovered new ideas that I didn't find in store bought juice. I only started mixing with Flavorah a few months ago but already created an ADV, my pumpkin pie. I'll go to my demise swearing someone hid Flavorah Yam from me on purpose and waited until I'd almost given up on finding a substitute for pumpkin that actually worked! So that's me, how about you?

When I started vaping I thought it seemed crazy for shops to charge $20+ for 60ml of liquid. Then when I found out there were only a few simple ingredient to vape juice I thought I should look into weather or not I could just make it myself. I decided to start DIYing because it was way cheaper, and also a huge reason was I wanted to make a flavor that tastes like the NOS Energy Drink. So far I've attempted that flavor 4 times, and finally on this 4th time it's tasting like NOS! I just need to do some adjustments now like increasing the flavor overall to make it stronger.

Hello all, my name's Travis. Got into diy a couple weeks ago thanks to the Washington State flavor ban. I've been vaping for about 5 years now though so i guess it was time to try it out. Haven't made anything spectacular yet. Ordered a starter kit on liquid barn and I'm not impressed with their offerings but i did get a decent bit of info at least. This sub has helped quite a bit already for me. Been reading to thru the faq every chance i get. I'm really into straight fruity flavors that are tart and sweet if anyone has any suggestions. Just got a grip of flavors from tfa and looking to expand more soon. Thanks for all the help and i look forward to being able to contribute something back soon

I started vaping 7 or so years ago and diy just a year in, and believe I've saved somewhere in the realm of 30-50,000$ over the years, but even that might be conservative. my ADV is prickly victory, i've moved away from keeping a large stash since my initial buy frenzy. I don't think i've ever had a flavorah product, now that I think about it.

I have a reverse white whale situation going on, I was reading the reviews for Cardinal a month or two ago and was super hyped to order and try it - Then they reformulated the core ingredient -.-

Hi, I've been vaping for ~the last 7 months. Feel so much better getting off the 2 packs a day I was smoking. I've been researching diy for the last few weeks and have a little extra money to dive in with now. I'm really wanting to figure out how to clone a couple juices that are really hard for me to find where I live.

That was my introduction on diy discord about a month ago. Since then, I've found a few mixes that I absolutely love (custard now, Divinium, and anything that has FA Soho in it) and I'm getting a little more comfortable with what flavors might complement each other. I really appreciate how helpful everyone has been every time I've had a question!

Hello all,

I’ve been vaping for about 10 years now on and off. A heart attack two years ago got me to sit the nails down and go to just vaping.

With the current political climate I decided to buy a half gallon of Nicotine, a bunch of flavors and start some DIY. So far I’ve been loving it. It’s awesome when you ah e a flavor and think “man this would be awesome if it was just a little smoother,” and you can adjust it right then and make it perfect.

I appreciate all the help I can get from the people here and am ready to fight for my rights as an American.

I vaped for a couple years when I was younger but moved back to cigarettes when I was about 20, and this coincided with a very destructive opioid addiction that i have been in recovery from for the past 9 months or so, and I’ve been vaping again for just as long. I’m 23 now, but i honestly don’t think I would have survived much longer if I hadn’t found rebuildables and DIY. People say that one of the biggest parts of recovery is finding something to do with your time, and although some might say I’m replacing one addiction with another, I’m sure all of you can appreciate that I’ve found something I’m passionate about.

dangit you guys, making me login in. I've been vapin' since 2009. Used to mix a few simple recipes and just now decided to delve into the more complex ones so my arsenal is growing tremendously. Love Fears "Abuela" and most of CBV's concoctions. I'd love to be able to make a vape form of Grillswith (crispy caramel fried donut in butter served with vanilla bean ice cream on top)! Thanks to all of the mixers and Bryson. Who do I pm my addy to?

Who won?
