Extracting flavour from cucumber which contains a lot of water, should/could the water be removed? I'm thinking the juice would sputter a lot. Use just the green bits like you'd use zest?

Uh no. Do not ever extract flavor for making juice from natural things like that. There's a reason we already have access to the manufactured flavors. Using natural at home extracts is not safe. It will make you very sick

Thank you kindly. I'll avoid that idle thought. I'd read some info on getting the flavour out of ginger root, which is where it started.

We have some very good ginger flavors already. No need to risk it with self-made extractions. Same for cucumber, too actually.

Actual cucumbers?

I see from the other reply that this is best avoided

Not a new mixer, but never used cucumber in any of my recipes, can cucumber be classified as an flavour enhancer or is it good on its own as a stand alone. Don't really see cucumber as a popular flavour in major mixes.

I only use it as an flavour enhancer. Gives the juice more juicyness, and is great in tropical mixes as well. Havent tried it as an stand alone, i dont want to vape a cucumber juice tbh.

0.3%-0.5% CAP Cucumber is all i need in some recipes.

It can be used as both! It just depends on which one you use and how you would like to use it

New to mixing, looking to get started, trying to decide what to buy and how much. been doing lots of googling, I think I'm gonna get the nic from perfectvape since it's alrdy premixed with vg/pg 90/10 and 3mg nic just need a good solid reputable trustworthy good site to buy flavor from.

Any suggestions?

You should get 100mg/ml in PG to have more control over your ratio. It will also be more cost effective. I'd suggest not using random Google searches to learn how to make juice. We have great guides which are linked above. Find recipes on ATF or this sub first, then order flavors for those recipes. Most flavors can be found from Bull City, one of the vendors listed in the vendors list.

i concur with edible. especially since nic is going to eventually be very expensive at best. better to get a decent haul and you can even control your nic intake and stretch a little bit a long way, possibly even dropping to near zero eventually.

bullcityflavors is really the best all around flavor shopping experience.

Hello! I'm new on e-juice DIY and i have a doubt about bottles.

I have a 60ml Chubby Gorilla bottle, but I want to make just 30ml of a e-juice recipe.

Do the nicsalt oxidate? Because half of the bottle will be full of air, and I'm afraid to do the recipe and the nic just oxidate and I loss the entire bottle of liquid.

I use like 20-25ml in a month.
