don't let it scare you.. be ready for it. :)

I’ve only just started doing DIY, but I’ve been buying nic and some flavors. I just bought the ingredients for Cromwell’s Custard at BCF. And some of the tobacco flavors from your Mountain Nights recipe. Eventually I’ll try to mix it as it’s written, but I’m only just exploring non one shots. (Call me lazy! Lol)

I just checked and apparently I’ll need about 4 liters of nic to last me 25 years! (At 3mg/15ml daily. Better safe than sorry with mls.)

I was looking for more nic at Vapers Tek, and I was curious how many liters I should get. So, I think,at this point I’ll get another one and play it by ear.

I'm going to buy a few more liters as well. I have about 4-5 liters right now dating back to 2011 (every year was a vape apocalypse) . The harshest I have encountered is the nic salts from Nic River. The regular nic (premium) is okay but a touch harsher (to me) than my stock up nic. I have ecigexpress, wizards (just finishing up/old nic) and RTS(nicotine giant).I have some old vapers tek nic I use for pesticide. I think I'm going to try a different vendor for something completely different.

With that much nic, you should be good to go for a decade or two! Depending on your mg and mls.

I bought the VT EU Sourced nic. I’ve heard good things about it. I knew nicotine could be used as pesticide, and I’ve seen an old movie where they used nic tablets in a murder. It was kinda ironic to watch as a vaper, but it was from the 30’s. Everyone just smoked a lot in the movie!

Since I'm a garden enthusiast old nicotine is my friend. I have to spray at dusk and avoid blooms to keep my bee population. I vape 2-3mg/mL dose. I have caught myself making eliquid at 5-10mg/mL for work adventures. I make nic eliquid for brother. SIL does zero.

Can you get honey? That would be cool! So,you’re good for 25-ish years, not counting the garden nic use.

It’s nice that you have family members that vape.

I still feel like I need 2 more liters. I haven't thought about honey. I suppose I could build something for them. I have no idea where they hang out after visiting my flower and vegie gardens.

I think we should have a VU vape meet at Bunny’s farm and eat donuts and vape a lot! Who’s with me? :giggle:
.
thanks @lirruping lol Im good to go in juice now till the end of the month..
more new recipes coming.. other things are in the works.. it's just that crazy fun time of the year for sure! :)

Im on pins and needles right now.. I sure hope they won't ban our flavors, after not hearing from anyone apparently.. found this on fb have a read:

""
The OMB (Office of Management and Budget) had hundreds of meetings scheduled with industry stakeholders in order to make informed legislation regarding flavors and the vaping industry.

Today, they cancelled ALL of those meetings and completed their review of policy without meeting with a single one of them. They only met with people who were opposed to vaping. They didn't bother to listen to a single word of reason or science.

Right now there are over 14,000 small businesses, over 160,000 employees and business owners, and over 13 million vapers in knots, waiting to hear the fate of our futures that were decided without a single word of input from them.""

I sure hope they won't ban... I hope that I can continue the flavor contests I run.. and our flavors never run out.. this whole thing has me scared.

I'd like to read more about this. Do you have an url where I can get some more info?

Blech, I’m in NY. But they supposedly decided to make vape stuff 21+ , so hopefully the bans won’t go through.

But you can still prolly buy cigs everywhere no problem. Really watching out for people’s health.

It’s nice when you stop by, Smoky.

Excerpt from Chicago Tribune article entitled:
Vapers sweat as White House scraps meetings, weighs flavor ban


" The vaping industry has been bracing for the rules, which would be one of the sharpest steps yet taken by the government to limit the reach of the nascent industry. Already, some big players have curtailed sales of products that appeal to young users. Juul Labs Inc., maker of the most popular e-cigarette, said last month it would no longer sell mango and cucumber, among other flavors.

Vaping groups have argued that severely limiting flavors could deprive adult smokers of a viable alternative to smoking, and do damage to small shops and other businesses that have sprung up around e-cigarettes.

"We're one year away from a presidential election and this administration decides to greenlight a regulation that'll kill more than 10,000 small businesses and limit the choice of 9 million people who use these products in battleground states," Blair said." [emphasis mine]

Because mango and cucumber are the flavors kids crave.... GMAFB.

Haha, that’s what I was thinking! They’re ditching the flavors that basically nobody buys.

I know we're not political here, usually, but man it KILLS me that they are always dragging in "The Children!" Obv. it's not a NON issue, but it's being milked in a cynical way, if you ask me.

on a lighter note, "Cynical Milk" could be the name of a new hype juice. It would have to be milky with some kind of sour note, eh?
Maybe I'll create a whole line named after ancient philosophers. Stoical Strawberry? Platonic Peach? I think this could be happening. :slowclap::idea:

How about Epicurus, who was a stoic and taught in a garden? And epicurean is used to denote gourmet-ish food.

Or maybe not.

One more note about FLAVOR WEST BLUEBERRY: this is a totally new flavor for me, as of using it in my grape bubblegum iteration, and I am definitely still enjoying it.

I added 1% intending an additive to bolster the tfa grape juice and fw grape soda. Initially, I thought it was working great, but as it steeps (still only 3-4 days, maybe a little less) this flavor becomes surprisingly prominent in the mix.

Bear in mind, I haven't been much of a blueberry taster. I always go to bilberries to punch up any blueberry themed recipe I'm using. This is a great find; i'm not knocking it, but be forewarned: this is a powerful flavor--esp. for FW.

I’m glad that I got to talk to you, though!

This time of year, before the holidays and all, is usually busy for everyone. But especially now with all this ban craziness going down, people here have been pretty upset. And everyone’s trying to stock up on vape gear, I think.

I’m glad that I decided I wanted to mix before any of this happened. After buying a lot of commercial juice at ban sales, I’ve come to realize that I’d rather mix my own!

Yeps.. make sure you have a good mech, half a dozen drippers and rebuildable tanks.. but Nic and Flavors should be a priority too..
A decent set of scales and a way to keep notes off line.

batteries wicks and cotton are last..

One shots can be really great if you don't have a lot of time to mix. Not calling you lazy.

According to this NBC story...
https://www.nbcnews.com/health/vapi...ng-their-own-juice-not-without-risks-n1081496

...making juice too!

"Following a rush of new bans in September, a Reddit forum on DIY e-juice saw a spike in membership, the group’s moderator reported. The daily number of new subscribers had long hovered around 30; that number spiked to 336 new subscribers in a single day, followed by more than 200 the next day, and it remained high throughout the month."

Did you catch the beginnings of a Nerds juice recipe in that article? Who wants to mix it up? lol

I’m glad that these people are thinking outside of the box and not running back to smoking, which is most likely the reaction everyone was expected to have (by the anti vape/BT shmoes.)

And of course, Glantz throws his two cents in by saying how crazy DIY juice is, because of the “harmful chemicals”! So it’s better to smoke? No harmful chemicals in cigs, right?

Ooooh. I have to taste that one again. I only vaped it for a day or two. It's been a while now. It was good then, probably better now.

I had selfish motives asking about it. :teehee: Not sure if you remember our talking about it. I forgot too, though.

The last few months have been strange- for vapers with bans and for me, in general.

I've been trying to work some flavors in that I don't use very often but have 30ml of. OOO Vanilla Custard Cheesecake is one of them. It works nicely in that recipe because it isn't really a "custard" and it isn't really a "cheesecake" either. Blends nicely with the rest of the recipe and the CAP Sugar Cookie making this more of a peanut butter pie than a peanut butter custard. Regardless, it's delicious.

Peanut Butter Custard
View attachment 149780

i steeped this one only for a few days so far and i am liking it a lot. I mixed up a 60ml from the start and am glad I did.
Fabulous! Ooo cheesecake etc is actually a really good replacement for LA Cream Cheese Icing.....without all the steep time. I use it for that all the time!

looks like it would work really well in this application. On the list it goes!

DIYFS Sweet Pucker Candy might be good in there instead of sweet and tart. That is another one I have that I need to work into some recipes.
Maybe! I don’t have that one but give it a shot, if you’re into the candy thing. There are others that might work well here, too.....I just went with what the article used. Totally winged it!

I'm not into candy which is why it has been used only once for single flavor testing hahah. I also only have one of the other flavors and nerds rope doesn't sound all that enticing to me lol.

I thought someone said that they stopped making Holy Vanilla. Or was it another holy flavor?

I mixed another 50mls of DIY or DIE Kings Custard, which was good but it felt like it needed something. So almost a week later, I added in 2% of LB Vanilla Cream Tobacco, which gave it a bit more something, maybe density?
I couldn’t wait to steep it for a month!

I don’t have any candy flavors. I didn’t eat them except maybe in elementary school, can’t remember. I don’t want to vape candy either.

Holy holy grail RY4 and Holy Vanilla have been reformulated. I think maybe you can still get the old version under a new name? I'm not sure.
