New to DIY Mixing

[kalbo]

Hi there,
I'm Gary, originally from Bradford but now living in Liverpool. I've been vaping shop bought liquids for the last 8 mth and I'm a complete DIY mixing virgin ????
I've literally just ordered a few things to give it a try, so I thought joining your great board would be a good place to start. I'm just having a look round the forums for now, but as I know absolutely nothing about mixing, I'm hoping some of you guys can offer me some useful advise and tips to put me on the right track when my liquids arrive.
As a starting point I've ordered nic liquid, PG and VG base, Capella VC, Capella blueberry cinnamon crumble, a rhubarb flavouring and a sweetener. I know I will probably have to add to that, but it's a start. ????

Hi there, kalbo/Gary & welcome to the forum.

You've made a good start by the looks of it & I'm sure we can help you pop your cherry, as there is a mixology section on the forum, as well as a mixing calculator. This link is to the general mixology section... allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/18/mixology-general which you may have already found. There's all sorts there to help & also, just ask away, you'll always get a reply & no question is too daft. With tried & tested recipes here.... allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/40/recipes

You'll need a mixing calculator, there's one up the top there ^^^ a few syringes of various sizes and some empty bottles.. and patience whilst your recipes steep!
Have fun!

Thanks Dagl, yeah I ordered some 10ml bottles too and my wife's a nurse so no shortage of syringes here. I will be needing the mixing calculator for sure though so thank you ????

Hi kalbo and

It's really not that hard once you have your first mix under your belt. If you're unsure about anything, just ask, there's always someone about who'll be able to help.

Have a good read through the various sticky threads on the Mixology board and you're good to go

Welcome to you kalbo.

I've popped your thread onto our Mixology general board . . . we've a few Members who have recently just started or are wanting to have a go at DIY, maybe take a look at some of their threads in addition to the other great information in this section of the forum.

Patience you will be needing, especially with any VC recipes . . . . .

Thank you perpetua ;-) patience is not actually one of my strong points. I mixed a couple of 10ml testers yesterday, it's only been 24 hours and oh lord! It smells so so good! Can't wait to try it, I'm drooling! :-)

WOW! Just check my juice that I made yesterday morning. I can't believe how much it's changed in both aroma and appearance in just 24 hours. It was almost clear when I mixed it and now it's a lovely golden syrup colour :-)
