Why nobody warned me lol?
submitted almost 5 years ago by Oineuz

If someone would have told me that getting into DIY would make all the "commercial" liquids become immediately intolerable due how sweet they are I'd wait around a month or two to make my own mixes haha I can't see myself using any of those anymore and I've a few that I'll probably will need to throw away *cries in wasted money*

(for context I'm coming from using a pod to mod and DIY at once - after two days I can't really use any of my old liquids lol)

Bro I literally have that now and it just seems much sweeter than before, that was actually my favorite this time last year, but now not so much...

> that was actually my favorite this time last year, but now not so much...

I'd been mixing my own e liquid for 3 years before I tried DLLT. Now I've been buying it for a year strait because I think it's awesome.

I spent my first 3 months of DiY trying to clone it... now it’s literally unsmokeable. The Pledge is strong with this one.

Try mixing up some unflavored juice at your preferred nic strength, and use that to dilute your leftover commercial juices to taste. I find that most commercial juices are much better after diluting 1:1 with unflavored juice.

Don’t forget to add nicotine if you need to!

Hey man you was using a pod so this depends on what level of nic you were using. Be safe. You probably don't wanna be vaping 50 mg/ml out of a tank or rda

I’m in the minority. Been DIYing for several years now, and really enjoy a ton of sweetener in my juice.

Tell me bout it...I've got at least 10,000 mls of commercial shit unopened, 80% is the same flavor, and I can't stand it now

I vape all my diy juices on rdas. Only way I can even partially enjoy commercial ejuice is in a tank with stock coils. I find that stock coils produce much less flavor than my rebuildables so the sweetener doesn't come through as heavy.

idk even my stock coil on the Gen taste awfully sweet with my old juices but I might use keep them for whenever I'd like to use the pod, I do have a rebuildable smoke pod for my RPM80 pro so I won't be wasting much money.

Yes it's true you won't enjoy the commercial juices anymore because of the flavor and you realize $0.50 goes into that $40 bottle.

Yeah, I read you save money but I just wanted to try it out and the flavor as well as my mod changed me, I guess I'm getting into it as a hobby and I really want to ge a squonk now but Imma wait some time, test all my tanks (got 4), different coils, etc

squonk box is cool I ran one for a long time. got tired of having to clean or replace the contacts tho it's harder then with a tube mech. best coils imo are 24g kanthal micro coil not soaced, replace the cotton every 2-4 days and the coil wire every 30-45 to keep the best flavor. 4/5 or 5/6 wraps depending on the wattage you like to run at.

Going from rewicking everyday to every two weeks and not really needing to was very eye-opening. I don't want that shit in my lungs thank you very much.

So I’ve been vaping River Supply 100% VG and Nude Nicotine 100% at a 70/30 VG/PG ratio — no flavor at all. Is that about as safe as you can get?

ETA: I’m new to all this. Using a Vapresso Zero

Too funny. I grabbed a couple of bottles of sale liquid from the shop i work at, to try to get an idea of what they are doing. But I can barely taste anything beyond the sweetener.

I feel like ya, there're probably some juices without that much sweetener but at least the ones have feel like eating sugar.
