I had heard there was an additive for extra TH, but can't remember the name of it now

BiteXtra it used to be called jonathan303 . . . . now know as Flash Hit Enhancer

If you wanted a Plan B.

[jonathan303]

Yeah that was it!! Thanks Perpetua. Has anyone had any experience using it? i'm thinking adding more nic might be the better option of the two???

[Perpetua]

I think the jury may be out on it jonathan303 :

I'd probably try the extra nic as a first option, just with one of the flavours you're keen to try - it'll depend on how that dilutes the flavour down, for your tastes.

With any of these ' fixes ' you don't know until you try them.

Brilliant, thanks again for all your help everyone

I would honestly say it wouldn't be noticeable as its less than a ml per 10ml.

^^^^^ this... ups the nic to your desired level, slghtly increases pg ratio (both of which help with throat hit) and for negligible loss of flavour

It does highlight an issue these days, in that most juice makers only seem to do vg-heavy stuff... for us pg-heavy vapers, it's DIY or Die!!!

[jonathan303]

yeah i'm really interested in trying out DIY. Its the one area of vaping that i've yet to explore. I know the principles, but lack the confidence. Still unsure of percentages of flavouring, which brands are best etc. The nic I ordered arrived today, so going to add that now.
Wish they would come out with more 50/50 liquids with 12 to 18mg options in all eliquids. high vg and just 3 to 6mg really excludes a large number of vapers.

Which is the huge advantage to home mixing jonathan303 . . . . you can tailor your mixes to suit your personal, individual tastes.

There's a wonderful selection of some really lovely ' one shot ' concentrates around now that make DIY very straightforward and a mixing calculator will do all the sums for you.

Certainly something to seriously consider as a next step.

Hey Jonathan .

I am relatively new to vaping and even newer to DIY mixing.
I can safely say with the AAEC calculator and all the help available on this site you will do fine . I started mixing only a few weeks ago and am now severely addicted. Tonight i made approx 450ml of various juices and have started making it for friends too.

My problem is i don't do anything by halves , it's all in or nothing so i now have a selection of about 30 or 40 flavours which makes deciding what to mix a bit of a mission. I stood tonight looking at them all trying to decide what i really wanted to taste and then wasted an hour scrolling through all the recipes available on the Mixology section.

You also have the ability to vary your nicotine levels, i am currently reducing my wifes from 12mg to 10mg as we both intend to get to a point where we are nicotine free. I still use 12mg but am able to make 6mg versions for my sub ohm sessions.

Tonight i made:

30ml Pink square candy
100ml Pink square candy with extra strawberry and a touch of marshmallow
100ml Custardy
100ml Pink lemonade
50ml Caramel cappuccino
50ml Toffee cheesecake

Take the plunge mate, you wont regret it, i know i don't.

Ok you guys have convinced me!
I have the nicotine already, so i might as well

Tomorrow i'll be getting some Pg/Vg and roll the dice on a few one shot flavours from chefs vapour.
I've seen some recommendations, but if anyone has any suggestions on the best flavour shots let me know. I like bakery type vapes, apple pie etc.

Anyway, wish me luck guys

An excellent decision jonathan303.

Which once you get your head around the process, you won't look back from!

Like anything new there's some learning to do, but we'll help you. A few one shot suggestions on this thread - but do please feel free to start your own if you'd like:

I'd also suggest having a practice with a mixing calculator - there's a fair number about, I've always used Ejuicemeup:

ejuice.breaktru.com/

[jonathan303]

As far as a mixing calculator, i was thinking i'll use the one on this site? I'd like to use ejuicemeup, but i don't think its available for mac computers?

Ah no it isn't unfortunately jonathan303 . . . . use the one on the forum then many Members do very happily or ELR's is compatible as far as I know and you'll also have the benefit of the resources on there:

e-liquid-recipes.com/create

( You can just keep adding up to 13 flavours I think. )

Calculators also tend to be a personal preference thing - so I'm sure you'll also find yours with a bit of using.

I use this one on my mac fine jonathan303 and find it nice and easy to use / learn on good luck in your new diy venture.

Thanks everyone, Placing a fairly large order now.

I wasn't to sure but so far went with Chefs Vapour - Apple Pie & Irish Custard Cream & Nice Custard Cream. As well as DIY or DIE - Funfetti. Threw in Capella Lemon Meringue Pie V2 cause it was cheap. Along with all the other supplies needed. I haven't placed the order yet so if anyone has any must try suggestions from chefs vapour website, let me know!

[Perpetua]

The Capella Lemon Meringue Pie V2 isn't a patch on V1 . . . . so although it may be cheap ( for a reason! ) I'd put the money to something more enjoyable jonathan303 .

If there's some Ginger Rogers available - I can highly recommend that!


PS. Banoffee Cookie Dough and Lemon Coconut Cream Cake also slip down nicely for me . . . . . .
