Newbie struggling...

[Ian Farrow]

Good evening ladies & gents!

I’ve just about completed my first day off the fags, I bought a kangertech months ago and have just started to use it, I am struggling to get a flavour with the liquid I made! When’s straight to trying to make my own as definitely seems the way to go to keep costs down! I’ll have to keep trying different things and wattages!
I’ll have a proper nose around now!

Hi Ian and welcome to the planet.

one day at a time mate so keep going. to get you off the cigs though it might be worth buying a few pre made juices in high nicotine to ween yu off the smokes.

post 6 here is everything DIY and post 1 & 3 are all our recommended suppliers.
drip drop and LiQuid do 10ml for cheap but they are not cheap on flavour. most shortfills are more for 3mg users so 10ml can go upto 18mg POTV Vendors & Recommended E Liquid Suppliers

Might be not really realated but:
1. Have u had or got a fresh coil in it and primed it before used?
2. Are u sure that liquid that u made is any good to use?
3. If used stock coils just go with the wattage written on the coil so u don't burn it.
4. maybe u trying to do mtl instead of dtl or other way round.
5. Wattage different and air flow.

those might be just some of the reasons why u can't taste the juice give us some more info and then u might get better answer for ur question

Hi and welcome. Definately recommend buying some liquid to keep you off the smokes till you get your recipes right! Good luck!

1. Yes I did....

2. I’ve no idea at all... followed a calculator online so guessing maybe?

3. I’m within what it recommends..

4. I’m not sure what you mean?

5. I’m playing about with that!

I’m thinking maybe my mix/concentrate! I ordered a little kit from Vapemate! To be honest I’m probably trying to run before I can crawl!

Welcome to the forum and a +1 for Drip Drop. The juice I last had of them was superb. Both flavour and price.

I would go for the last one what u wrote down
Try going to DIY thread as guys put above and see what they can say or help u with mixing as probably ur mix might be gone that way or the other ( hope u didn't mix all of it at once ).
I'm not a master in concentrates so have a look at DIY thread again as it might be the juice.

i tried vapemate once. that was enough for me.

some of the best places for concentrates are on my list which include chefs, vapable, darkstar, nomnomz, ELFC but there are tons of places.
one shots are a good place to start as all you need is the % on the bottle and add vg/pg/nic.

give us an idea of the % you used. was it a single flavour or a few. what nic strength and what vg/pg ratio did you mix to and we will work it out for you and see if it came out the same as your %.
scales are a godsend for any new beginer as i bought all the kit and nearly chucked it all until i bough some scales and now its easy.
