Lessons learned the hard way by new diy!!!!

[donna328]

Since my husband and I both quit smoking and started vaping, I got the bright idea to make my own juices. I bought everything on line, thankfully I bought the nic juice in 24mg cause it could have been a real disaster. I reduced it by adding 20% vg, stirred it up and poured into 20 15ml bottles filling about 3/4 full. I added random flavors to each bottle ( if it sounded good, why not) well it didn't taste good...very gross, perfume might taste better. A couple weeks later some (not all) aren't bad. Lesson 1..learn all you can on this forum before trying diy...Lesson 2...start simple, maybe single flavors....Lesson 3...steeping is important. I hope someday I will be as good as you guys and maybe someone can learn from my mistakes.

Good for you, you gave it a try!

Visit the DIY forum and recipe forum. You'll find lots of help and suggestions from some real experts.

Like you said,simple flavors and let it steep.

Also-
Start small,like 5 ml
Start your flavor percentage under- you can always add more
Write everything down!

Yep, I'm new at this also.
learned fast:
Small Batches
Single Flavors to start
Start Flavoring lower % than recommended by others
Expect a few un-vapeable/un-fixable mixes

Never use sweet cream in coffee e-liquids, unless you like vaping BUTTER
