Bulk Making Liquid

[JingleJangle]

Hi,

Considering starting to make my own liquid now as im getting bored of paying more than i should.

Been looking into it and i want to make a few litres of 70VG 30PG 3MG flavorless e liquid and then just add the flavour as and when i need to.

Is this okay to do? Is there anything i need to take into consideration?

Would i literally just make 3ltrs based on a e liquid calculator without any concentrate in?

But i can see myself wanting to make a few others every so often but dont want to have to keep getting everything out to mix again

only thing i can see is you will need to keep to the same % of flavours or it will throw out the ratios

I'd try it with a 500ml or litre batch first - the flavour might become muted in storage unless you keep it in the fridge/freezer

But what i mean @dave2010 is if i dont put any flavour in
And then when i want to make 100ml for either me or my brother would that be fine to just pour 80ml into a bottle then 20ml of flavouring?

I was wondering this today...the problem I thought about was this. A 10ml 80-20(vg-pg) mix uses no PG (it's all in the flavouring) so if you pre mix a 80-20 then add 20% flavouring you are adding more PG than you wanted, but would it make that much difference???

i mix different nic levels in 80ml and 900ml batches all vg no pg then just add flavour concentrate when needed for 80/20 vg/pg. just store as already stated in a cool place. if you mix a flavourless 80/20 vg/pg and add 20% flavour at a later date you end up with a 60/40 ratio. so the easiest thing to do is mix the desired ratio minus the pg percentage of the flavour concentrate

It's fairly simple if you want to keep the same level of nicotine and flavouring. If you're not a maths geek, use a calculator to work out a normal mix and just leave out the concentrate, which you can add later.

@Ment cheers pal, Think ill do that just made a few ltr of 70/30 mix with 3mg nicotine and as you say just add the concentrate as and when i need it

Once you've got the equipment and ingredients there isn't really any need to make mixes "in bulk"
I made the mistake(?) of making large quantities of various mixes when I first go into DIY. I did not consider that, in the future, my vaping tastes would change with regards to how much nic I wanted and what flavours I continued to enjoy.
My cupboard contains a lot of juice that I will never use, either because the nic content is now too high for me, or it's of a flavour that I now regard as crap. Hmmm, dilute the high nic with lower nic mixes and use them? That will only work if you like the flavour!
These days I only DIY a couple of hundred ml at a time, and make some more when I'm down to about a weeks worth left.
