Going to start DIY

hey guys,

So I've decided I'm sick of spending a fortune on OS juice, and wanna start making my own or just get canuk doublers..

any suggestions?
what will i need, where do i get flavours from and where is the best place to get unflavoured nic?

Thanks,

Glen

 

There's like 50,000 threads on here....and a search button ,why start another one ?...

 

Be.comse i would rather people comment here and help me out rather than sifting through "50,000" Different threads

 

I usually get 115ml bottles of 50/50 36mg e-liquid from healthcabin and dilute it with VG so whatever Im vaping is in the 15-18mg range (IIRC $13 for nicotine and $3 for VG + shipping). They sell flavour concentrates as well but they aren't anything special. I got flavour concentrates from vapeking.com.com and they were a lot better flavour-wise. Wouldn't mind a cheaper source for nicotine though.

 

Thanks, i will prob just start with getting some doublers here then start to dabble in making my own flavours

I tried some Vapeking Doublers, Didn't realize that they tasted so damn good

I was thinking RTS vapes for the nic, or is HC good stuff?

http://www.rtsvapes.com/1000ml_of_36_mg_Flavorless_Nicotine_Liquid_p/104n.htm
thats pretty good value?

Also where can i get Flavor from? like not there premixed doublers but just the straight flavouring>?

 

I usually don't post in these areas but it seems a little quite in here so I will.

Nic:

RTSvapes is fine, good quality.
HC is generally good, although I see some reports where they have missed the mark, usually it's as easy as contacting them to get the issue resolved / new batch sent out (from what I'm told)

There are plenty more out there too which I won't go on to listing.

Flavouring / Concentrates (from.coms):

Juicefactory.com.com - Capella, The Flavor Apprentice, alcohol based super concentrates, Flavor West, Hangsen (shameless plug for my own business)
Ecigmodshop.com.com - High concentrate flavours
Vapingcobra.com.com - Capella, Flavor Apprentice, Flavor Art
Juicewhore.com - Capella, Flavor Apprentice, Flavor Art
Vapeking.com.com - I-mix

Sorry to any canuk vendors that I missed on that list - not intentional.

Protip - If you are comfortable doing so, get a higher milligram nicotine base. You'll stretch it much further this way. Don't go over 100mg unless you are well versed and have the correct safety equipment - Always be .comtious. Also, make sure to grab a juice calculator if you don't already have one. I use eJuice Me Up.

Don't forget your mixing and storing requirements - bottles, syringes, pipettes, PG and VG etc.

Most importantly, good luck and have fun!

 

thanks mate, im gonna go with RTS 100mg 1 litre, vaping cobra concentrates, and vapeking VG/PG and a heap of bottles, syringes, droppers etc

Or do you have anise and Absinthe flavours Tom?

 

diy is the way to go, even if youre not a hardcore mixer just knowing if youre running low on juice all u need is 2 day delivery for something good from a local vendor for a doubler youre set. the premium juice market is fun, but the wait and the cost is ridonkulous.

 

Just a hint if you're using concentrates, start low and slowly work your way up. If you start at 1% concentrate and slowly work up, you can figure out how much of a particular flavour suits you, as well as the maximum amount you can add before it starts to taste 'off'.


Oh and nice work Tom, I'm impressed to see you list a stack of other vendors as well as your own. Might have to take a look now.

 

Unfortunately we do not have any in stock at the moment.

Best of luck with it all, it's great fun!

 

Glen, consider getting your nic in PG only. It makes life easier, and arguably it keeps better, as it has some antibacterial properties inherent in it.

Concentratres brands to take to google, apart from the alcohol based super concentrates..

Capella, Flavour Art, Perfumers Apprentice, Flavourers Apprentice, Lorann, and Inawera are brands I use.

Be sure to get yourself some sweetener, koolada, ethyl maltol, menthol, vanillin and Lorann tart and sour. These are great for zazzing up an underwhelming flavour you create!

 

yeah, i was going to get it in 100% PG,

Where would you recommend getting the flavours from? i was just going to go with vaping cobra

 

Definitely a good place to start, Glen!
For every flavour you really like, you'll probably have 3-4 that are ok, and another 3-4 that you don't like at all.
My problem is that once I get something I really like, for example cranberry raspberry - I then have to buy every single different concentrate in those flavours I can so I can find the best one!
It's not so bad, be.comse a lot can be bought in really tiny bottles for very small outlay. When I decide what I like best, I reorder a large size of it.
I will probably give away a bunch of concentrates that haven't been to my taste in the next few months, some of the brands are only good for a year tops.

 

AND this is why i started my own thread! Thanks heaps guys, i appreciate you helping a noob!

 

Or learn how to mix properly & you don't have to worry about extra additives to fix your mistakes with ; )

 

GruffySlapDown in 3...2....

 

AND that is why I have a large Ignore List.
If you hadn't quoted that post I wouldn't have even seen it and got on a little sad.

 

Obviously I haven't declared war on The Republic of Gruffy often enough.

I may have to wait until after MrsGruffy gives some lessons on using those additives effectively.

 

What's sad, IMO, is having to add extra chemicals to your juices to improve flavor, instead of mixing flavors that compliment each other in the first place.

Or using the ignore function, rather than discussing something that is bothering you like rational adults in PM, if you have a problem with the other member.

Carry on Mr G. I'm not putting you on ignore, even if I don't agree with everything you post.

 

Great posts Marty, very helpful and straight forward
