How To Make your own DIY eLiquid guide for beginners - Video - All steps explained

Thanks. Yeah, hopefully seeing it all done shows how easy it all is. Before I started making my own it seemed a bit daunting but actually, it's really easy. The two things to make sure you do are to be careful with the Nicotine (measurements and handling) and to write everything down - don't assume you will remember any small changes that happen on the fly (you don't want to let it steep a few weeks, have an amazing juice and not be able to recreate it!) The only real thing I would add to that video if I did it again is that it would be worth investing in a measuring cylinder if you are making large quantities as trying to syringe up lots of VG is a pain.

Hope the video helps and if you have any questions let me know. Cheers - Slack.
Already ordered my Mrs a set of digital scales last week so a couple of measuring jugs could be the ticket, I'm hoping they're accurate enough to just be able to store each ingredient in its own bottle with its own dripper, write down a running total weight beside each ingredient on the recipe list, and just drop them straight in. I'm down at low levels of nicotine anyway (3mg/ml) so even if the quantities are a bit off on my first few juices I'll still be on an acceptable level of nicotine unless I somehow add 10 times more than I should.
 
made 300ml of clotted cream fudge custard last night the only thing i measured with a syringe was the nic used a measuring jug for VG 2x30ml bottles of CAP V1 2x10ml bottles fudge 1x10ml bottle of DDL squirt of sucralose done:14:

Looks good cheltenham cat, though personally I dont heat the plastic bottles just in case. A lot of people do so it is probably fine and I'm just being a bit paranoid.
 
@dividebyzero Very impressed with the video and just wandered over and subsribed. Great personalities, good information and you seem very at ease on camera. That's a chunk of my YouTube viewing sorted for a while :D

Awsome, thanks @wizzzard - make sure you check out the out takes at the end of the video, they are usually good for a chuckle!
 
Yeah, it's probably fine... just one of my paranoias about plastic bottles. I'm getting an ultrasonic cleaner soon, that will do heating. Once I have used the "massager", throwing it in a warm ultasonic cleaner should be awesome.
 
Great video! I'm new to mixing my own liquids and will definitely be following your guide!

The out takes at the end also made me choke multiple times whilst hitting my vape, hilarious!!

Thanks for the great guide and the laughs that went with it
 
Great video, i've only got as far as mixing VG and purified water so far, but watch this space!
 
without trying to sound a bit stupid but my nicotine says on it "usp/ep nicotine 72mg" then underneath smaller writing "in propylene glycol usp/ep 99.9%" so would i need to change the PG level to 100% and not VG ? first time trying this and dont want to get it mixed up
