First attempt at mixing!

[mr26]

Well, my DIY kit arrived this morning and I've just made my first two test mixes. I've made a 70vg/30pg of what I hope (fingers crossed) will be something close to a pink lemonade (3mg nic) and a 50/50 cherry coke (4.5mg).

I'm going to steep them for a few days before giving them a try. If I can resist temptation that is!

I can't believe how easy it was to do, I'm feeling really pleased with myself.

Good luck.

Good stuff.
Personally I am not a steeper.
I suppose it depends on your take and what you think.
I mix, bang in micro for 8 seconds (20ml bottle), shake and toot immediately!

I would think your second flavour would be good to go (can't remember what you mixed exactly).
Sure it may improve with age but bash in and see what it is like IMO!!

If microwaving, use glass bottles not plastic ones

Just done

Vampire vapes bat juice
Capella Dutch mint chocolate
Capella vanilla custard v1
And Vapables own pear drops about 5 o'clock today.

Few hours in hot water and they're all really good [emoji1] and the best is they should all get even better [emoji16] [emoji16]

Really?
Any worries or health issues?
I use plastic, used to steep in hot water for a few minutes but only changed to micro about 1 month ago.

Should I (all) not zap plastic bottles?

 

[jaimunki]

Plastic melts... That's all

 

[johnr7]

That's why I only do a few seconds.
Built up to 8 and seems Ok on my 20ml bottles.
Thanks

When mixing it is worth thinking about a dripper for testing flavours.
Means learning to do build coils but well worth it. You can test your juice every few days or before and after your chosen voodoo to see what is improving flavour or not.

 

[mr26]

I might give them a try tomorrow then haha.
oldhippydude - I'm definitely planning on getting a dripper for this and also just for when I'm at home. I'm already building my own coils for my rba, I'm really starting to get into the DIY side of vaping.
