Hello and thank you for viewing my post please upvote, share, and follow.
Thank @kenshin22 for the video he asked me to post a mixing video .

There are many reasons to begin mixing and creating your own e juice.
The number one reason i began mixing e juice was cost . At a price
of $15 to $20 30ml in my area I was spending about $140 a week in e juice alone
not including cost of batteries and coils . That is a total cost $560 a month on e juice alone. I have personally saved
thousands over the last few years.

After the realization that vaping was costing just as much as smoking if not more I decided
to make the switch to making my own e juice . I researched for a few days before investing
money and time into this new endeavor.
I set a price of $100 to get started less than my weekly budget on e juice. I figured if it wasn't for me i would only be out $100 bucks

I found countless websites with a vast wealth of knowledge and resources on websites such as
elr , reddit , and youtube.

e-liquid-recipes.com
www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice

1st When starting out i Think you need to get your feet wet by
finding a recipe that has been tested and found to be good . Go to elr e-liquid-recipes.com and search for a recipe that
has 5 stars and many reviews . Try something with flavors you know you like or a good clone of your favorite e juice will be
a sure way to get an enjoyable e juice.

2nd you will need to buy is supplies I recommend buying smaller amounts of flavor , vg,pg and nic
until you get a feel for it and to see if you will enjoy creating your own e juice .
(nic,pg,vg ,measuring supplies)
You will need
Nicotine (optional)

3nd you will need a program to help you figure out your measurements
i recomend e juice lab you can download the app here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idland.oyvindi.e_juicelab&hl=en

Its a very user friendly app for your smart phone or tablet . Which allows you to import and export your recipes .
it also keeps track of your flavorings and breaks down percentages of the recipe so you don't have to figure out all the
math involved or just use the one on e-liquid-recipes.com/ its free and works when starting out ( what i started with and later upgraded)

4th
Mix the recipe you decided on . I personally use a scale when mixing my e juice because i find it easier than with syringes .(less clean up)
I make sure i have all my supplies out and ready to use. I pick out all the flavors the recipe calls for so I'm not digging around looking
for flavors .after i having all supplies ready , I place my bottle on the scale and have it zeroed out. i slowly drip my flavors in till the weight of the recipe is reached .
after all ingredients are added your going to want to shake the bottle to combine all flavors and bases . That is it !
Depending on the recipe you can vape right away or it may need steeping ( time to combine)

The goal to any one mixing is to find there all day vape while creating new recipes and developing skills .

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and i will answer them to the best of my ability.

Sort:  

the taste is better without the nicotine ?

It depends on how much nicotine you use. at lower levels like 3mg or 6 mg you will not notice a difference in taste but at higher levels 9mg to 12mg it can affect the flavor .

And throat hit is always present with nicotine.

Yeah, i'm hooked on nicotine haha
