Mixing Tips, Tricks, Questions & Answers

[lobeydosser]

Thanks Karma. I'll give that one a whirl.

I will echo what Karma says, it is also very good value too, Ideal for a first time mixer.

With the start up kit she links to in her post, you could make upto 55ml of juice for £10.99, and still have some utensils left afterwards that could be used later.

The whole ethos of this thread is to interest people in mixing their own juice, so anybody just starting out, don’t be shy… any questions post away. Myself and I am sure others will be here to help.

Everyone has to take the first step on a journey, this is a good way to do it.

But..... Remember that nicotine at high concentrates are toxic.

When you start off on your adventure at mixing your own juices.

Be very careful not to spill it on your skin. (wear gloves)

Always thouroughly clean surfaces after using.

Be aware of small children wandering around.

Try and work near a water supply so you can wash spills up straight away.

Always store nicotine base and resulting mixes in a high place or locked container away from children and anyone unaware what bottles contain.

Dont forget that your beloved pet will lick up a patch of liquid if he/she sees it on the floor. They will also walk and roll in it if it is hidden in carpet pile.

Better to be ultra-safe, than sorry!

Edited to add the pet warning!

You can buy menthol crystols at Boots.

Never tried it, as not a menthol lover.

Froggie will be along to explain, but Ive read that its a cheap way of making menthol.

Yes Brian,

Mixed as per the above, it is a concentrate.

You can use it as a stand alone flavour concentrate, as you would any other concentrate (I would suggest about 7% to start with, add it to your nic base & VG & PG dilutants) to give a pure menthol vape, but a little harsh for me like that.

Or, it can be used with other flavours, can make some flavours "pop out" without tasting of menthol.

It is a good tool to have in the box.

I think I may have a play with some flavours today and make up a menthol rec, although I don't do menthol myself, but others like it....

[johnboy]

Frogster, Thankyou very much for that info re Menthol , Will pop to chemist, My 100 ml of MTS arrived today from Liberty flights, if anybody wants 10ml pm me.( Edit as offer now taken up)

[johnboy]

Frogster, Please tell me, what do you use to try all these flavours out with, I have 2 penelopys and 1 did, but washing them out every time is a bind.

Cheapest way is to buy a dripping atty John.

All the vendors sell them.

I`ll leave it to Froggie to explain further as he seems to be the best guy for the job.

[Frogster (The Alchemist)]

John, I just use my DIDs.... as that is what they are going to be used in anyway for me. I syringe out any old juice, dryburn the coil and vape through any flavour change...

But as Brian says, maybe a dripping atty is a good idea....

No experience of them myself, Back to you Brian....

When steeping, caps on or off as I have read conflicting views on this. Dave
