Can anyone direct me to a nice and simple strawberry salt recipe? I would like it to be similar to SUA Super Salt Strawberry (now discontinued) or BLVK Unicorn Strawberry. I have now tried multiple times with TFA Ripe Strawberry, INW Shisha Strawberry, and different amounts of sweetener including 0 sweetener. All attempts have not only gone from clear to super dark in the cartridge but have tasted absolutely horrendous. Yes, I did shell out for the salt nic and it does taste like its wicking correctly. Thanks in advance.
Strawberries can be tricky and usually need a few of them to get a full flavour profile. Personally my fav strawberry trinity is INW shisha, TPA ripe and FA strawberry (aka red touch). I find you need the sweetener with strawberries as well. There’s lots of SB recipes on ATF, you could search there as well.
Why it’s going dark I have no idea. Not a pod user but I vape sb + c practically 24/7 and don’t find it gunks my coil. Fact I only rewick every 2000 hits or so.
New to making my own vape juice and need help. I'm having some problems where I'm having some dry hits on 50vg/50pg. How to fix it? Should I add distilled water perhaps to fix it or not?
No. Do not add water. This isn’t really a diy topic but I’ll help if I can. What kind of hardware, wattage and coils are you using?
Geekvape aegis legend with zeus x rta on 0.20 ohm Vaping it usually on 27.5 Watts. Never had issues with any other e juice that has been already made but it was 70vg/30pg.
Hey I’ve got the legend too. only mod that’s lasted me more than a year.
50/50 might be too thin. I usually use 70/30 to 60/40 in an rda. Not too familiar with rta’s. Other common issues leading to this are taking hits too often not letting cotton re soak, not enough cotton (or even too much) and not prepping coils sufficiently.
I’d say try process of elimination. Try using a thicker juice first and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn’t you might wanna fiddle around with your coil and wicking a bit.
New mixer here, couple of months in (working through the sidebar) anyway a quick question. I've made fruity recipes so far with 7-9% flavoring but have seen some commercial recipes that are upwards of 20%.
Is there a 'typical' flavor percentage?
Although 20% seems high and many of my mixes are 12-15%, it totally depends on the flavors you are using. Some are super concentrated and some are dilute. Recipes for pods are often double the percentage of a juice you would vape in a non pod device. Trust your tastebuds, and understand that some flavors can mute others, so when testing mixes, start low and work your way up. You can always add a percentage here or there but you can't take it out.
Hello, new to all of this. I have questions about creating my own ejuices and the base ingredients I will need. I’m not sure if this is the place to ask. So far the calculators I’ve looked at are confusing. I have a specific mix that I would like to make. But I’m confused as to what to order. I’m looking to make a 50/50 or 70/30, 6mg, one flavor juice. Hopefully some one can help or point me in a certain direction. TY.

Why one flavor?
Thank you. I only like two flavors. Black honey tobacco and blackberry. I usually order a bottle of both and then mix in a 30ml bottle. But the place I order it from has eliminated those two flavors. So I I want to keep vaping them, I have to figure out how to do it myself and I figured one flavor would be an easier starting point. Hopefully you can answer this question… if I order a bottle of 50/50 vg/pg, 6mg/ml nic base, can I just add flavoring to that? After I put some in a smaller bottle. Or does it need to be diluted with vg or pg further? I apologize if I’m not getting terminologies correct. TY.
If you start with 50/50 6mg and then add flavor, you're diluting it. So you would have more PG and less nic (to some degree) what you want to do is get VG, PG, and Nic separately so that you can get exactly what you want.
The mixing calc will tell you what to add, so it's really easy.
The place you got those two juices may or may not have been using just 1 flavor to make them. For example: https://www.bullcityflavors.com/black-honey-tfa/
But if I were you I'd look at recipes that use that flavor, then buy the flavors to make that recipe.

Is Carolinaxtract only shipping to commercial addresses now? Someone claimed it was on their website but I don't see that.
Anybody find a good site to buy nicotine recently?
No, but it's "not for vaping." They think that message covers their ass. Don't message them and mention vaping or they will ban your account.

Those listed in the nicotine category are all we have left.
Does anything change when making salt nic instead of using free base? Can I still use the same recipes/flavoring I used to make 3mg with free base? Also if anyone has a place they like to by 250mg salt in quantities less than a gallon that would also be great.
No, the type of nicotine doesn't change anything. You may have to keep the device in mind if it is a weaker pod device, though.
There aren't many vendors selling nicotine salt base now, so if you find one that has smaller quantities, order.
Someone please check my shopping list for my first order. I am trying to re create my favorite flavor from a vendor who is no longer in business. I'm going to get the flavors from that recipe plus bunch from the recommended list.
Is there a newer recommended list? The last one is two years old or so.
Should I avoid flavors I don't like from retail juice or give them a fresh look as they may have been overblown in those recipes?
Should I get everything from the one vendor for the ease of it or should I piece it together from other vendors?
Central Vapors
250ml 100mg/ml base
250ml pg
500 ml vg
10x 10ml bottles
5x 120ml chubby gorilla
5x 30ml chubby gorilla
10x 2ml pipettes I have a scale
Just get your nicotine, VG and PG from Central Vapor. And perhaps 10ml bottles. Get larger bottles and flavors from Bull City. Get condiment style bottles to decant your PG and VG in to be able to pour them into the mixing bottle. If you have a scale you do not need pipettes. Is your scale accurate enough for this purpose?
What is the recipe you are planning to make? I would choose a few other recipes for the time being so you know you have other things to mix right away. You don't necessarily need to stick to the first order list. It has its pros and cons.
Seduction clone.
There are two versions I've found both the same but one also has a mashmallow flavor. Bull City has everything but the blueberry which I can order from DIY-Supply.
Diy vapor supply
10ml INW Blueberry
Bull City
10ml INWCactus
10ml INW Lemon
10ml INW Lime
10ml INW Raspberry (Malina Koncentrat)
10ml INW Strawberry Shisha
10ml TFA Cotton candy
Should I go bigger on the nic base in case something happens with availability once I get into it?
Also shit my scale isn't accurate enough.
