Thinking of DIYing

[saldawop]

Only just started vaping. Already spent a fortune on e liquid. Would like to save myself some money and mix my own. Looks easy enough( famous last words)

I am liking donut flavours, with a bit of fruitiness. Also like a milky flavour.
And melon

I can use One Shot concentrates to create a multi flavour liquid, rather than multiple concentrates and working out which % for each flavour?

So a few bottles and syringes , base liquids and concentrates and I'm good to go?

Couple of bottles you can use whatever bottles you've got from shop bought,
Nicotine, VG and pg use darkstar http://www.darkstarvapour.co.uk
Flavour concentrates/one shots use vapable http://vapable.com
Syringes, measuring cylinders and gloves can also be found at vapable

Started out at vapable with tier 10ml concentrates / free delivery over a tenner and once you get used to mixing and know what you need/like Darkstar 30ml is much better value imo - good luck

I also like http://www.justvape247.com/ have a much bigger selection of pre-mixed concentrates. Amazon have a set of four graduated cylinders for about £5. those plus a small funnel save a lot of hassle with syringes as the smallest one is 10ml. http://e-liquid-recipes.com/ has a calculator, recipes and you can search by flavour and see what the averages people are using are.

If I use one shot wonder concentrates should I just stick to their recommended %?

 

[learnincurve]

Yes. What I do is have a bottle of base mix with no flavouring in it set aside, if it turns out to be on the strong side I can mix it in.

I'd start low with the concentrate %. You can always add more later. Another idea is the 'lick test'. Taste a little of the concentrate on your finger to give an idea of it's strength. The most time consuming thing for me is getting the percentage right. Once your happy with it you can easily make more of the same. I give all mixes at least a week to steep before trying them Don't forget to make notes otherwise you'll forget how much you put in.

Yes. What I do is have a bottle of base mix with no flavouring in it set aside, if it turns out to be on the strong side I can mix it in.

OK, so I mix up a small bottle of say 70/30 and add that if too strong?(Add nic too?)
I have been looking at Heisenberg concentrate (just tried it from onepoundliquid,good stuff), and have read a lot of reviews mentioning everything from 10-20% tastes great

I started to make my own juice pretty early on from getting my first real mod- I haven't looked back since.

You can definitely use the one shot wonder range alone, some nice flavours there, just add your chosen percentage to your PG and VG, your nicotine, and away you go!

I use Lubrisolve VG, that is available cheaply online, PG I search out the cheapest at the time, and get my nicotine from darkstar.

You will need some syringes and bottles (You can reuse bottles if you wish, give them a good wash though). I would advise if you are thinking of DIY long term to stock up on nicotine while you can from darkstar, 72MG strength is still available and a little of that goes a long way.

Essentially yes, you will be good to go with what you have listed-just nicotine and a way to measure is needed, and I hope you find some nice flavours that you add to your ADV juices.

Made my first eliquid today. Used Uni Milk Oneshotwonder concentrate.Vaped a tankful, tastes good,going to leave the rest for a couple of weeks minimum.But VG is a pain through syringe.Have graduated cylinders, but forgot a funnel for pouring so did it straight in the bottle.

Thinking of getting the following. I know I can probably get cheaper, but would rather shop on Amazon (Prime member)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GHHROQC?psc=1 (funnels)
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE (frother)
and possibly
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product..._act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AEUMIRKFWF0IJ (scales)


That look OK? Funnels look like they should fit small bottles?
