So yeah I was out of e-liquids I like and was going to make an order but decided to DIY instead and save some money. Anyone got any opinions of the flavors I ordered? Any possible recipes with the flavors? Things I forgot and should get on my next order? I know I forgot some sweetener :/ oh well. Also a smaller syringe for the nicotine would've been nice but I think I can manage for now.

P.S. the reason I didn't order VG is because I already have some. Going to go for around a 50/50 mix

Thanks!

Flavor wise I see you like fruits so maybe a cream would go nice with most of them. If you need additional sweetening adding some of that watermellon will do the trick if you don't have sweetener on hand.


As far as what else you need to order mixing hardware wise.
5ml test bottles
1ml syringes
3 ml syringes
22 or 24ga needles (Thinner and better if you add by the drop)
50ml cylinder makes measuring VG/PG a snap.

Lastly a little recommended reading

Read my blogs before getting started

E-Cigarette Forum - dannyv45 - Blogs

then read hoosier's blogs.

E-Cigarette Forum - Hoosier - Blogs

then read the stickies at the top of the page.

this will explain a lot of the how's and why's.

Like DannyV suggested a cream flavor would work nicely with fruits and just about everything from desert to tobacco flavors. My favorite is the sweet cream from Flavor West. When I first started vaping I thought I would like tobacco flavors but ended up liking fruit flavors much more. From there I moved to desert and coffee type vapes and now for the past 3 years those are the only flavors I vape. There is a lot of trial and error so patience is going to be key. Next order you might want to try getting some flavorings from other categories, you might be surprised and end up liking candy type flavors as much or even more than you like fruits. Some basic desert/candy flavors that would also go well with fruit or by themselves are caramels, vanillas, chocolate, creams etc...Definitely get some sweetener if you can next time adding just a drop or two really makes your mixes pop. If or when you want to try other flavors HighDesertVapes sells small cheap bottles you can try first to see if you like before buying larger more expensive quantities. Most of all though keep detailed notes on the flavors you make so you are able to replicate a great mix easily. Since I don't make fruit liquids I cant offer you any recipes myself but there are a lot of them on here so take your time looking through the recipe book here, your sure to find something you love. Good luck and have fun!
