My first mix's

[charliehorse]

I have just made my first mixes and ended up going for the OCD method outlined below ... and it seemed to go okay

Not completely OCD though as I didn't use a different syringe for each flavour - not enough syringes lol - but I did rinse it out thoroughly every time.

V (VG), P (PG), N (Nic Base), F (Flavourings).................

Nice, neat, reverse alphabetical order, for the OCD enthusiast........Done it like that from the beginning....



"Life...........is just a bowl of tricks!!!!!!"

Thanks again to everyone for their views on this.

Here is the final result

From left to right ......

Peppermint from chefs rebranded range

Wintergreen from TPA

Mojito from FW

Madagascar Vanilla from FW

Black and Blue from T juice

NY Cheesecake from Cap

Red Astaire from T juice

All are 12mg 70/30 (pg/vg) and mixed at 15% apart from the rebranded peppermint which is mixed at 5%

Should be there or there abouts with the flavour strength as I searched the site and did a bit of googling beforehand to see what other people were going with, and I can always add a drop or two more ..... or chuck it down the sink

All 10ml apart from the Red Astaire as I had an empty 30ml bottle of it that I had just finished and got carried away

Gave them a good shake and stuck them in a cupboard for at least a day ..... maybe.

charliehorse nice going my friend, the Red Astaire will be ready to vape now, no steeping required!! As for the others, the mints will only need a couple of days, and the others a week or two. Get vaping!!

Whatever works for you . . . . and gives you pleasure, is all that matters really charliehorse.


I'm of the ' Slosh n Shake ' persuasion, but it works for me.


Other than the Vanilla & Cheesecake your other flavours are pretty much good to go, though I still think an overnight steep is worth the wait.


If you can stand the anticipation!

You always remember your first

As above, the red astaire is best freshly mixed, the anise settles slightly after a day or two

[charliehorse]

Not long in from work and dug out the cheapo Igo dripper I got a while back and ............

Perpetua - I managed to restrain myself until now, so just under 24 hours

chykensa and mrmotivapr - you were right about the Red Astair, it tastes fantastic fresh and even better than the ready made, though I think that's the satisfaction of having made it myself

The Black and Blue is very similar to Red with just a subtle difference, is that right, I've never tried the ready made one ? Its good though.
Wintergreen okay but could maybe up the % a touch
Mojito needs a little longer I think but should be good
Peppermint is fine but needing a touch of sweetener or koolada ? not sure and may just keep this lot as is and see how it goes for a tanks worth.
Left the Vanilla and NY Cheesecake for now.

Overall though I'm well chuffed.

Welldone on your first mix adventure, its good fun when you get into making your own unique flavour combinations.
I'm currently working on a caramelised pear and almond tobacco vape.

Got to admit it was a great feeling when they turned out to be not only vape-able, but pretty dam good into the bargain

Glad to hear it turned out a massive success!

Yes RA is pretty special for the first day or two, although it's an amazing juice all round and one I never grow tired of.

Good work!

Well done charliehorse

The FW Mojito is pretty good stuff. I mixed some of mine with a bit of FW Blood orange and was a tasty combo It is a bit of a coil gunker though but you cant have it all...
