Waiting on DIY Mixing Stuff Rant!!

[linzmac13]

Not been on here for a while  but I seriously need to have a rant and vent my frustration!!

After toying with the prospect of trying a bit of DIY, recipe searching, and looking for a calculator that I can actually understand, I've now ordered all the stuff needed to try "Black Kitten" from here and "Oreo Cookies" recipe I found on The Alchemists Cupboard site (I love Alice in Vapeland's Black & White Cookie but no longer prepared to pay a crazy amount for it).

My frustration is this.....why oh why is it not possible to get everything from the one place??? Anyway, my nic base PG and VG arrived today from Vaper's Emporium but my mixing kit and flavours, from The Alchemists Cupboard, Postmodern Smoking & LT Ecigs could arrive any time, hopefully by Monday and before Xmas, and I'm desperate to start!!!


A few questions....has anyone tried "Oreo Cookies" and how long should I leave juice to steep?

Hi linzmac13, I understand your frustration, I can never find all I want from one supplier either!
I've never mixed that recipe, but I would guess it will need at least 2 weeks to start coming into its own. As it appears to be a dessert-type mix, these generally need the longer time, apart from tobacco flavours which just go on getting better and better.
Could you let us know what flavours are in the recipe, that might help us a little more?

Hi, glad to hear it's not just me lol!!

Here's the recipe

Oreo Cookie
To make 10ml:-
Add 1.6ml of Capella Double Chocolate, 0.4ml of Capella Vanilla Custard and 0.1ml of Capella Peppermint to 7.9ml of your preferred VG/PG/Nic mix. Allow to steep.

Both Capella Double Chocolate & Vanilla Custard take 3 weeks to be any good I think.


I'd hate to be able to buy everything from just one Vendor, all those fabulous shopping opportunities missed if we could.

3 WEEKS....HOW WILL I COPE WITH THE WAIT!!!!

[Perpetua]

Easy . . . you just forget about it Linz and plan/shop for future mixing sessions.


I actually wait about 6 weeks before I use any Chocolate/Dessert/VC mixes, you'd probably explode before then though.

Starting the mixing journey is hugely frustrating for the reasons you've identified linzmac13 but also hugely rewarding.
Once you have all your stuff, the secret is to mix regularly, then you build up a 'production line' of stuff steeping merrily away and coming to maturity.

I am currently Vaping some 6 month old Rhubarb Crumble & Custard..... It is like the finest of finest Brandy...... same recipe, taken from my normal stock for my steeping drawer.... but the 6 month steep has done its job splendidly.

Ok thanks all for your words of wisdom, guess I'll just have to be patient....don't have much of that hubby says I got fed up waiting for it!!!
