Who mixes

[matty198111]

As above really, who mixes their own e liquid

And whats the best and worst you have done, do you save much money doing your own ?

P.s im not thinking of mixing yet but just wandered

[Perpetua]

I do Matty . . . love it as I can tailor the flavouring strength to my own specific requirements, namely strong.

None have been terrible in all honesty, although some mixes have been less tasty than others . . . where I did fall down initially was making large amounts of juice, now 20ml of a known & tested flavour is the largest volume I mix.

If it's a new flavouring to me, then I'll do 5 or 10ml to test it out.

Not so sure on the saving money part, although it's probably feasible if you don't buy every flavouring that takes your fancy.

A friendof mine makes coffee with a hint of mint (drink not eliquid) and it is lovely.

Would be nice to make that flavour later when im more experienced

It's good fun Matty and very satisfying when you've created a juice that is not only vapeable, but very enjoyable.

There's no mystery really to mixing, but it does pay to be sensible and do some research before diving in with potentially harmful ingredients.

Griz's pinned thread is well worth a read when you feel you want to take another step . . . .

If you want to just dabble a bit with flavourings you can buy pre-mixed nic base already diluted to a nic content that you are comfortable with

worst i done...hc cola..smells exactly like coke, tastes exactly like charcoal mixed with arse.

i think i worked out i was spending £2.39 a week(based on 30ml week) with the cheapest flavouring i was getting(f'arts) and flavourless from u.s.

its nice tailoring juice to your own needs but can be bit of a pita sometimes and ive resort to just sloshing everything in bottles quicky. i got to a point of not getting much flavour so went back to premix...then realised i was getting less flavour so put it down to my tastebuds(or mind)

takes a bit of experimenting at first to see what works for you...but flavourarts flavouring at £1.27 each is a great way of trying new flavours.

King, £1.27 is not bad for flavouring . Do you have the link ?I want to buy some.

Flavourings can be handy to pep up ready mixed juice, but be warned, they are very concentrated, less is definitely more in this case. You can always add more but you can't take it back out

Talking from experience here after messing up some Johnson Creek e-liquid, which really wasn't that bad to begin with, but I thought I could make it better

Seeing as I mainly vape menthol , pg 200 ml 52mg from cige = approx £45 + 250 ml vg approx £5 + menthol crystals from boots approx £2

450 ml juice lasts a heck of a long time

This link is fantastic, exactly what I was looking for

[matty198111]

I wouldnt mind trying a 0 nic strawberry and cream flavour for the missus, if she gets on with it she can have my kit and i can upgrade

[jiggsbro]

I mix, but I have a set of complex flavours that I'm working on, none of which are right yet, so everything I've mixed so far is technically a failure (or, as I prefer to call them, 'successful explorations of the problem space which identify unrequired combinations'). My most successful exploration, which identified the most unrequired combination, was an early trial of Chocolate Bread and Butter Pudding which tasted of lemon. Fortunately, I can - and will - vape pretty much anything, so I can use all my failures. The best, so far, are the Xmas Pud (very nearly right) and Canary in a Coal Mine (Cavendish black tobacco with honey rum).

I mix, but only tobacco flavours now. I've made some utterly dreadful fruity/sweet etc. mixes in the past due to banging it in and impatience. I don't know why but I find myself more suited to the 1 or 2 drop and leave 24-48 hours type of tobacco mixing.

Lol that made me laugh Lardy.

Patience is certainly a required element with some flavours.
