Mixing for the lazy

[rednutt]

That looks like the way to go though I am still messing about trying to find something I really like. I've just gave in a little and ordered a 30ml of virgin vapor buttermint cream but they only had 12mg so I'll have to add some nic to it. All this maths is hurting my head. Now I need to work out how much 54mg nic to add to it. Or 72mg cause I have that too. I presume adding 72mg would be better so I don't dilute the flavour too much.

Can I get that ejuice me up for iPad?

[babs]

Ejuicemeup say they won't release an ipad version rednutt shame but I play around with the forum calc till I get what I want

[rednutt]

Yeah Babs I use the forum calc too but it all this converting this and adding that it confusing me. Once I know the method of working it out I should remember but don't know where to start.

Depends what strength you want rednutt but if you want to make it about 18ish 3ml of 72mg will take it up to 17.45mg or 5ml of 54mg will take it to bang on 18mg.

If you like creamy mint joosejoose softmint with a little vanilla custard tastes a lot like murray mints

Took me a while to sort it out too rednutt when I had some weak base I had to use up sorted it eventually now totally forgotten how though.

The main tip I learned mixiing anything with VG, is leave the VG till last as it's so gloopy it's hard to syringe. Just put everything else in then top off with VG directly from the bottle, assuming the bottles aren't totally out of wack (I use 30ML bottles to fill from 100ML PG/VG/nic base).

How do I get started on mixing my own?
Where's best for obtaining ingredients / kit?

It all depends on if you want to jump straight into starting with high strength nic, and if you want large amounts.

I started the easy way - using a pre-mixed base -

www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=61_84

If you get a 50/50 one ( pg/vg ) in the next strength up from what you normally vape
All you need to do then is add flavouring, nothing else.

For example if you normally vape 70/30 18mg, if you get the 50/50 nic base in 24mg then this ends up very similar by the time you have added flavours.

So apart from the nic base, you would need some flavours, a couple of syringes and some empty bottles.

The website linked to above do sell all those things, but for more choice with the extras you could use -

www.chefsvapour.co.uk/

www.justvape247.com/.

If you want to jump straight in and buy the 72mg nic base, you would then need also, pg, vg, and a few more syringes.

I'd suggest one of these kits to get you started thebishop:

www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk/product/gold%20diy%20mixing%20kit

www.thealchemistscupboard.co.uk/product/mixing%20kit

It's not as cost effective as buying all the ingredients separately, but they are an excellent way of giving you a feel for DIY eliquid.

If you like any of the Tjuice flavours, then their concentrates are brilliant ' standalone ' flavours and very straightforward to use.

I'd also have a good read of this thread:

allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/21122/beginners-guide-mixing?page=1&scrollTo=393373

And download a good calculator or use our excellent forum one:
