Lets make our own.....

[Blackhack]

On another thread there were a couple of people talking about making their own juice....
Would it be an Idea if one of the more competent juice makers could possibly take some of us Innocents under their wing and teach us the basics ??
I for one would be interested in learning how to make my own, and if some instruction and help was given, I'm sure that others might be interested too....

Things we'd need are simple instructions and descriptions of the ingredients and we could get started...

We could even (with the admins permission) have a section on the forum, where we could dance about our cauldrons, while stirring in the magik ingredients.

Or maybe just try to get the volumes/mixes right......

Anyone else interested ??

@Blackhawk, there is already a section on juice reviews, and another on mixing and flavour reviews

Don't want to put words in Blackhack's mouth, but I suspect he's meaning more along the lines of:

Ingredients:

X ml PG from here
X ml VG from here
Nic base from here
This flavour
This flavour
This flavour

Method:

Put so many mls X into so many mls Y, agitate. Leave for 48 hours. Add Z. Leave for one week. Dance around the cauldron thrice. Okay, how's it tasting? Then you might need another drop of such-and-such.

Not being cheeky but we try to cover everything here at POTV


It's what makes this place the best website about vaping....ever

I put that on the general discussion section as I wanted to see if others might be interested in learning the dark arts of making their own juice and not in the mixology section where the innocents might not venture as it's all "above them"

The section on mixology is too far out of my league (Had already looked at it) as it's assumed that you know the basics...I don't even know the basics, but would be interested in learning....And I'm sure that others might be as well, but are too shy to show their ignorance (Unlike me, who's as thick as shyte)

It's got to be better than paying out hard earned for tiny 10ml bottles of "something" that your not even that sure of..

I see your point Blackhack, and I've not tried mixing myself yet, but strongly going to consider it after Christmas.

Looking around, I've seen fair bits.



As a guy in a similar position to you, I'd check out the gold mixing kit from alchemists cupboard (I think that's where I heard)

Get the basic kit, then just browse the recipies and try something simple (with say 1-2 flavours
Everything you need is included in said kit, and for £37 your making 200+ml

And if all else fails (and it's a complete nightmare) add a few menthol crystals and save it for the winter. Lol.

I'm always hearing 50/50 is a good starting point

Then if you have say 10ml total fluid. Add 1ml flavour concentrate and 1ml nicotine

Obviously exact ammounts I'm not sure of, but I'd just use a few recipies as a guide and see how you get on .

You might really enjoy it, and soon build up a reputation like MrKraken and the likes.
And if not, you'll still have 200-250 ml of strong menthol flavour for a rainy day.

The basics can be found in this video as well as hundreds of others. Lordy`s video covers beginners to experts. There is not really much more you will need than what you will find in it or indeed what has already been pointed out to you in this thread. The end result of your juice is what you are happy with and nobody else really. There is no real difference between Vg and pg from any of the reputable vendors, such as LT or Liberty Flights, same goes for the Nic base, all is of pharmecutical quality. You decide on a recipe, use the calulator, add your flavouring, mix bottle up and wait. It really is that simple,obviously there is much more to it than that to come up with some of the top juices you find out there. My guess is though they just dont come across those by accident, the people that develope those have a far greater understanding of what is needed, your average vapour who does a bit of diy does not, but you can still get some pretty good results by just following the basics with good concentrates.
