Hay everyone just starting out and I'm curious if anyone has any good recipes that have a max of four flavorings. I'm going cheap to start to avoid spending too much if mixing just isn't for me.

If you really want to just try a few at a low cost, try a handfull of tried and true single flavor mixes.
Caps strawberry's and cream is good. FA tutti fruity is juicy fruit gum. TFA Hawaiian punch is good by itself. FW Swedish fish is very good as well.

If you like custard, you can't get much better than 10% caps version 2 mixed with a little TFA vanilla swirl and a pinch of cotton candy.

FA white peach, FA strawberry and FA bill berry mixed together different ways (pick your main flavor at 3% and the other two at 2% then 1%) will give you a handfull if fun fruity vapes.

Tasty puff Rasta Rootbeer stand alone makes the best Rootbeer you will ever vape .

Buying these few flavors would be inexpensive and make your first mixes a great success and get your foot in the door at trying your hand at DIY.

That's enough flavorings to last you a year if you like them all.
Assuming you buy 10 ml bottles.

You could always pick up a handful of sample size flavorings. Bull City Vapor sells small sizes of some. Eliquid Mart and Pure Vapes sell sample sizes of FlavourArt.

Newbie too. Which companies sell larger bottles of flavors? Seems like all I come across are the tiny bottles.

10 mls are pretty common at ecigexpress.com (also bulk sizes) and Bull City. Pure Vapes sells 30ml. TFA sells a variety of sizes.

cheapest for larger flavoring is either straight from the companies, or ecigexpress.. :)

The white peace strawberry and Billberry came out really good. Next batch I'm going to go a little stronger on the flavor bit still one the best fluids I've ever had.

I'm sorry I didn't see your post before now. Here are my favorite super-simple recipes. Most of these have 2-3 flavorings and simple percents:

I'm glad you liked those flavorings mixed up. Those seem to be my favorite fruit mix's as well........ Like I said, just change them around for different tastes.

Try some of those HIC just posted above. You can't go wrong with any of his. I've probably mixed up Around 20 or more of his recipies. Always good.

I will definently try some those too. Random question. I didn't buy very much nicotine because I didn't Wana spend too much to start. That thirty mil of the fruit used almost all of it up. Was only thirty mil of 24 mg. I'm curious would getting some stronger nicotine allow me to use less power bottle or is it pretty much set in the amount used because of it being the base fluid

Are you asking if you'll vape less liquid using a higher nicotine strength? (Some people vape less when they have more nicotine; I don't really.)

Or are you asking if a piece of vape hardware itself goes through different amounts of liquid, depending on the nic strength? (No.)

Or are you asking if you should buy stronger nic and add vg/pg to save money? (Usually is cheaper, but it's another step you have to do.)

The third option lol.

lol, okay. For a while I bought my target strength like you did. I was new off cigs and didn't have clear enough mind or motivation to mix nic base myself. Then I got 60mg for a long time and diluted it with PG/VG. It only took a few rounds before I felt comfortable and could do it in a reasonable amount of time. I patted myself on the back for saving some bucks. I immediately spent it all on flavorings, lol. Eventually I tried 100mg to save a little more. Now the nic I like best (VapersTek) comes only in 100 mg. I can whip up a bottle in my sleep now, no drama at all.

Just decide whatever is best for you right now. You can always do it different next time.

100 is what I was thinking bout. Is there any special trick when diluting it?

Just two things: get the ending nic strength right, and get the pg/vg balance where you want it.

I find it's easiest to just mix a bottle to the right nic strength (in your case, 24mg; 25mg is easier though) and PG/VG. Then keep that bottle handy and pack the 100mg away in the freezer or fridge until you need to make more. I make enough for a couple weeks at a time. It makes DIY a lot faster and less error-prone for me. (You're using separate bottles of VG, PG, and nic base to a bottle like the one you're almost out of.)

Agree with this.

How do you measure the proper dilution?

Generally 100 vg but I'm debating doing some fifty fifty.

Okay, I'll tell you I do both of those (I use max VG, partner uses 50/50, I do all the mixing).

I'll assume you buy 100mg VG nic.

To make max VG at 25mg nic:
25% of your 100mg nic base, 75% of VG (with water if needed..keep reading).
You can think of that as 1 'part' base, 3 'parts' VG.
The VG I buy is too thick for the cheap tanks I vape with, so I have to add water to thin it out.
I end up with 25% 100mg nic base, 20% water, 65% VG. Distilled water is ideal; I use tap water because mine is really pure.

To make 50/50 PG/VG at 25mg nic:
25% of your 100mg nic base, 50% PG, 25% VG
You can think of that as 1 'part' base, 2 'parts' PG, 1 'part' VG
When I mix 50/50 PG/VG I don't need to add any water; it's just right for my partner's vaping hardware (also tanks).

The 'parts' I keep referring to can be any measure you like. If one 'part' is 10ml, you'll make 40ml of ready-to-flavor liquid, for example.

Does that make sense?

It didn't till I read the last paragraph. I get it now. Think I will go with the 100. Now does it make a diffrence if my nicotine is a vg base to begin with

The 100mg nicotine you buy will be 25% of your finished unflavored liquid.
If you start with PG-based nic, your finished unflavored liquid will be at least 25% PG just from that.
You can make 100% VG unflavored liquid only by starting with nic in VG.
You can also make the 50/50 PG/VG by starting with nic in VG.
So if you want both options, that's the way to go. If you're going to mix only 50/50, you can start with PG or VG nic.
