I found my perfect DIY...how much to make?

[njgeek]

I just ordered 500ml of PG/VG 24mg base and Patriot Range N/Port...25% flavor to dilute it down to 18mg and it tastes just like Halo Truepure at 1/3rd the cost.

That being said, 500ml base in that formula is 666ml (gasp) which would take me 110-140 days to get through. Will it keep that long? Should I premix or keep it separate and mix as needed? If I premix should I convert it to glass jars?

I usually keep mine in glass. I would fill a 60ml glass bottle and use that for mixing and mix what you need from that.

Whether you premix or not, I would convert it all to glass bottles. A premixed juice will do fine for 6 months though without the worry of it going bad.

+1000 on that Salem

I wouldnt premix it, keeping that flavoring out of it your base will last longer I think, and go Glass all the way.

Thanks for the tips, sounds like in glass it would work premixed (4-5 months tops) or I can just mix it 90ml at a time.

Would something like this work? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00551VQ7U?ie=UTF8&ref=aw_bottom_links&force-full-site=1

It says it's made out of flint glass and has a machine ground airtight glass stopper.

I'd mix it all up in a big glass jar and make a floating coil (coil on a boat), then just vape it off that.

Amber or blue will be alot better..

I was going to dump it into a fog machine, sit in front of it, and take lots of deep breaths.

Cobalt Blue or amber droppers will work just fine. You could try Specialty listed above or Amber Glass Boston Round Bottles - Glass Bottles Wholesale

I would have no problem premixing a 6 month supply ahead of time. Matter of fact, I often do

I've mixed up a few new recipes that were WOW it's my perfect DIY, but after the first 30mL, the second bottle lasted much longer... I would mix up 20mL to vape, then another 20mL....and then if it's still great go for a big jug!!

Thats true if you are newish to DIY/ vaping and not sure that you will like the flavor long term. I have some flavors that I have been vaping for a very long time and do not tire of them. Those are the ones that I make 120 ml minimum of

DH has been vaping the same flavor for 1.5 years and still loves it. No need to have to pull my mixing stuff out once a week to mix more so it is much easier to make big batches.

I've tried dozens of flavors (I know that's not near what some here have) and none of them appeal to me beyond a few puffs except Halo Truepure. I was the same way with snus; had a collection of tons of flavors, only used one day to day.

This stuff tastes enough like Truepure to take its place. I think it will be my 100% daily vape for quite a long time.
