Thanks for all your help and guides direction! I didn’t think mixing would be so fun an easygoing if all you did was have the right tools/ingredients and followed recipes

blueberry jam!

Hell yea man that's me a week ago! I did a simple snv sweet peach tea (5% TFA sweet tea 5% TFA peach white 2% CAP juicy peach) I ended up making my own few tweaks adding 2 drops of TFA smooth, and 4 drops of CAP super sweet for the 30ml I made

I cant mix fast enough. Working from home has turned me into a steam train. Thank god I had the foresight to stock up on the essentials before the lockdown or I'd be reduced to buying overpriced sugary crap online.

Don't speed steep. If you're gonna do any bakery or desserts just shake it up until you see bubbles throughout your bottle then put it up. But if you're doing fruit medleys or something of that nature you can vape it immediately. I see a lot new mixers thinking they have to steep everything. You can do it with custards as well. If you find yourself pinched up and you need some nicotine you can grab that custard before the 2 week mark or whatever. The flavor may not be as refined early on, but it won't hurt you. Which is the next thing.

Popcorn Lung is fake in the sense that you can get it from vaping. I only mention it because I didn't know when I started 3 years ago. I knew the media lies about politics and NBC chopped up the 911 call from George Zimmerman to make it seem racist in the hope of inciting some riots. I had been mixing for 2 or 3 months before I found out that they have a false narrative for just about everything lol. I know you already ordered your first go round of flavors but just letting you know DAAP doesn't seem to be harmful at all at the levels we use. You may already know this, but I didn't when I started. But it's ultimately your decision. The way I see it is that not everyone in the world or this sub is nice. So if they're vaping baby vomit I look at as kind of like a cosmic thing. Figure they deserve it. Unless they're like me and got a free 3 month trial at BabyVomit.com courtesy of the MSM.

And I would keep it simple in the beginning. You want to minimize your setbacks and be able to build confidence. But it's in our nature to bite off more than we can chew when we start new endeavors because sometimes we hit the jackpot. So just try and take things in stride. Last thing D C. used to have a mayor who absolutely loved crack cocaine and hookers. Ejuice companies have those same type of feelings with sucralose. So don't be surprised if you notice a difference in the beginning. Which can play out two ways. You order a big ass bottle of CAP Super Sweet. Which there actually have been studies indicating that we're not doing ourselves any favors by adding it to our juice. Or you can bite the bullet and ride it out. Usually takes a week or two for your olfactory to reset. But then you're free from it's chains. That's especially beneficial if you happen to be starting out and you're still using a tank that uses premade coils. Nothing like getting a month out of a coil and saving money making your own juice.

I swear I'm almost done. If you're not the creative type then I would try and find someone who has some experience who shares similar tastes. Because if you go off on the interwebz looking for recipes there's a high chance of it ending poorly. Especially on ELR. Sure there are tons of old recipes with flavor percentages too high for today's equipment. But it's also free so there are all kinds of people with multiple accounts praising their own recipes. So now you know with everything else you need to learn that it also comes with a fucking peanut gallery. But you're gonna love it. Welcome aboard!!

Never imagined anybody would inject Trumpian race and politics into DIY ejuice advice but you went there. Very classy.

Facts are always classy. I was well aware of the media pushing narratives and lying outright in the political arena well before Trump. He's just the first prominent figure to call them out. But by no stretch of the imagination did he dub the term "fake news". I mention Zimmerman not because of race , and I find the whole thing heartbreaking. Somebody's kid died and a mans life was ruined. I mention it because that's about as low as you can go in terms of a depraved media. Editing a audio recording to make it seem like there were racist overtures is fucking disgusting. Sure there are a lot of young people who know nothing about what NBC did. But they should. And people of any age group for that matter. Maybe then we wouldn't have 7 out of 10 Americans thinking that vaping is worse for you than smoking. India had a knee jerk reaction and banned vaping because of the lies by the media in regard to the lipid pneumonia outbreak here. The CDC and FDA were complicit as well. Fact remains the same, a lot of people are going to ultimately die sooner than they should because of media lies and lust for sensationalism. You stay triggered and I'll stay real. Have a great day Nibblez!

It's pretty risky to make that big of a bottle for your first one. It's recommended to make a 10ml sample of a new recipe to make sure you like it first.
