Then it is a premade mix they buy in volume. I am thinking they get flavor west from another company.
Personally love flavor art and signature with tfa. |

So I just got my shipment from Vapor Shots and mixed my first 10ml batch of Peppermint flavor...
I used: 3.75 ml of PG 3.75 ml of VG 2 ml of peppermint flavor 0.5 ml of 100mg/ml nic juice This should result in a juice that is 5mg/ml strength of nicotine, right? The commercial stuff I buy from FreedomSmokeUSA is 6mg (advertised). But I swear this is much, much stronger. Question: I noticed (after the fact) that the label on the nic bottle says to shake before use. I didn't shake it. So when it settles, is the nicotine all on the top? This could explain the very nice throat hits and nicotine taste I'm getting (which I usually don't get with commercial 6mg juice). I like the throat hit, but the taste is pretty much all nicotine and, while the throat hits are nice, I really would rather not take in much nicotine at all. I only use the commercial 6mg because the 0mg seems to have no throat hit at all. |

I have never shaken my nic. It says to do so before first use but I always figured that happened in shipping.

Some don't. That's the correct formula for a 10ml bottle of 60/40ish 5ml liquid. I'm assuming your nic is PG based. The extra throat hit you're feeling is very likely the result of having more PG in the mix than you're used to. More PG means more throat hit and better flavor. More VG is smoother with better vapor production. |

I want to stock up on some juices. I'm running low, and the nearest decent vape shop is a decent drive, so what is a good vendor that has fast shipping? I'm looking for a decent cake batter flavor or anything else you guys think is good. I gotta get a few bottles to hold me over quick. I think i'm going to try some of this hawk sauce too.
What mixture does everyone suggest as far as the VG and PG go? |

I just ordered some juice from them, but didnt add any comments. Every flavor I ordered was $4.99 each so that's a great deal considering the local shops sell 15ml for around $13.99 each. Hope they throw in a random sample.

Yeah I ordered over $15, and I didn't realize there was a 10% off code either. Geesh. Oh well maybe next time if this juice turns out good.
There are so many vendors, products, copies of products and so on in the vaping world online it's hard to find the best places to order from. Ecig forums are alright, but it's overwhelming at times to find the information you need. I'm glad there is a forum here where I can get straight answers to my questions. Thanks guys. |

Oh man, I came up with a fantastic chocolate covered banana. High Desert Vapes extracts. You need a 15ml bottle. 3.5ml of their organic banana nut, 3ml of their dutch chocolate brownie, about a mil or so of organic walnut and maybe a mil of sweet cream. Top it off with your nicotine (I keep a half liter bottle of 38mg/ml base mixed up (80/20 PG/VG) and add about a mil and a half of 100 mg/ml nicotine just to knock the dust off of it and you're good to go. It's pretty good straight out of mixing, but after a week or so it gets absolutely fantastic.
You can substitute Roar Vapor's "Dawn of Truth" for the banana nut, though if you do, you should skip the 100 mg/ml booster shot. Also, Roar's "Truth Serum" is fucking AWESOME. It's my current all day vape. High Desert also has a Fudge Brownie that is awesome, and a Dutch Chocolate Mint that' is like Andes mints but better. Awesome with coffee.. |

Question for The Hive - do any of you notice that your juice darkens as it sits in your tank? I've been going through the Appleberry Cinnamon from Wyoming vapor company and as I vape away it gets noticeably darker after a day or two. I'll post pics up as soon as I can. I'm using a 900MaH VV set at 4.0 in a Kanger T3.

I should add, it started getting darker after a few days, by weeks end it was pretty much reddish-brown. |

Some say the nicotine is what gets darker over time, but I've never had a bottle of juice get noticeably darker. Just juice in a tank.
So I think it's just gunk from the coil seeping into the tanked juice. Also, it never happens for me with clear juice. Only juice that has color. |

If not, i just put it in a box for a week or so, shaking every day or so. I also (Might be just me) like to squeeze the air out of the bottle and let new air in before i shake them. This might not do a damn thing But hey, at least i get to smell the progress.
After a weeks time i'll give it another try. If it's still not to my liking...back in the box. I tried the hot water thing once. Didn't really help the juice i tried it on. But that was some cheap ass juice anyway. |

It's fantastic. At low watts, it tastes like Welches Grape Juice. At high watts, just like a grape Jolly Rancher. It's too bad it's a short run. I'm going to need to order 10 bottles of the stuff to keep me satisfied until it comes around again. |

Question for the DIYers;
Have you ever had a juice change colors after you mix it? I mixed some 100% PG, 20mg/ml nicotine, 10% TFA white chocolate flavor. Just after mixing, the solution had a very slight beige/tan note to it, but after a few days, it developed a bright pinkish-orange hue. It looks almost like merthiolate, if you have any experience with that. It still tastes about the same as fresh-mixed, minus a bit of ethanol. |

Ive been reading a bit but I don't recall coming across the answer to this. .
What causes the juice to change colors? Sometimes I won't have to refill on juice for a few days, but when I put it in it can be clear - after a few days it starts taking on some dark tan/brown tinges.(?) What is happening that it is changing color? Is it just a natural occurrence in the juice or is the wick burning etc? I've been using various VG80% / PG20% from Mt.Baker lately. |

All of the juices I have bought darken like that. For my daily (deadly sin) I don't really consider it ready to vape until it goes from the clear yellow to the rich orange/brn. phase. The change in the pigmentation does not necessarily affect flavor directly (depends if they are aromatics), but it does correlate with "steeping" time. Both reflect oxygenation and oxidation. All sorts of pigments change color on oxidation or reduction. E.g. pH strips. For flavor, too much oxidation is bad (rancid) but flavors don't pop without some. E.g. breath a bottle of red wine - yum. Froth a beer a bit, swirl a scotch, etc. Leave a scotch out over night though? You have shit in the AM - e.g. rust solids from too much oxidation.
Here is what happens to meat: 
That is different from if the juice in your tank is getting darker than the juice in your bottle - that is usually from the burnt stuff on your coil flowing back into your tank. It doesn't really affect flavor much (not near as much as having a coil with enough shit burnt on it to cause that). |

Basically in all the nicotine is what make the juice change color the most. No matter which flavor it will change the darkness. Certain flavors change quicker and to a different color sometime. Take for example. Blueberry 0 mg nicotine, stays clear. Blueberry 6 mg turns pinkish. Blueberry 18 mg turn darker pink. |

Went to a local shop last night and picked up a PT2 mini and some blueberry juice that I sampled while there. I get home, fill my tank and the juice is off, almost too sweet. Is this a prime candidate for steeping? The sample and my bottle were both 6mg nic.

I would have to assume they have been in those tester tanks for a few weeks, therefore they are well steeped. |

Sorry for all the n00b questions, but google is not providing an easy answer.
What is the best way to clean the coil head/tank between flavors. I have rinsed and wiped clean with a towel numerous times but still have a lingering flavor. I have read vodka rinse? Any other suggestions besides changing the wick? As a beginner I am trying new flavors all the time and don't want to sell a potential candidate short because the flavor was contaminated. |

As a beginner I am trying new flavors all the time and don't want to sell a potential candidate short because the flavor was contaminated. Soak them in vodka and then be sure to rinse them out really well and let them dry before you put them back in your tank. If you do end up changing the wicks use boiled cotton balls Super cheap. Boil them for 30 minutes and bake them for I think it was 20 minutes on low. Be sure to leave the door open a crack on the oven and keep an eye on them, don't want anything catching on fire. Once baked let them dry over night and you will be g2g. =) |

You're better off using a dripping atomizer, preferably a rebuildable one. As for heads, I'd just hose them out with hot water, doesn't take long for any remaining flavor to go away once you add something new. But that said, some juices are really bad about ghosting your tank... So with a rebuildable, you can just make a new coil and wick and drip away, no worries. |

I know the first thing I have to do is split the nic into smaller glass bottles for freezer storage. I would like to keep a diluted amount out for mixing but not sure what would be the easiest mg to use or what would be best and also safest.

Just start with the nic first and then put the bottle away, so you don't have to deal with it anymore. Also start on the low end with the flavoring. That way if it's too weak you can just up the percentage little by little. Also keep track of everything you do. That way when you do get good results you can duplicate them. It's easier than you think to make DIY juice. Let us know how it comes out!! |

Not sure what you mean. I just buy the 100mg nic that is PG based. So if you want to make an 18mg nic mix in a 30ml bottle you would need 5.4 ml of the nic base. Then after adding all the other stuff it becomes diluted and the final 30ml bottle is 18mg nic. |

I was going to make a nic base of 36/24/18? to do the juice mixing with so I would not be messing with the 100mg and taking a chance of having an accident. Just was wondering which diluted nic base would be best to work with. My final nic I will be shooting for will be between 6-12mg. |

Probably be a bit till I get set up and started & then the steep times will be agonizing but still can't wait. At least now my cabinet drawer stand project should make a little more sense. got plans man... BIG PLANS!

I just put water in a coffee mug and boil it in the microwave. Then stick the bottle in. Wait about 20-30 min and then shake the ever living shit out of it. Let cool then enjoy!! |

Then after adding all the other stuff it becomes diluted and the final 30ml bottle is 18mg nic. As someone who does a lot of dilutions at work but has never mixed juice, I find the oddball numbers people in the industry use quite odd. For example, if you wanted 20mg I could tell off the top of my head it is a dilution factor of 5, so out of 30ml one fifth is 6ml. To make it 18mg like you did I'd need a calculator. Why make it 36, 24, 18 etc.? For making a stock that I was going to regularly do dilutions from, 10's are by far the best (like the 100mg) or otherwise I would use half increments (50mg) for a stock to make a range of dilutions from. For a known target that you are regularly trying to hit though you can just set it up so the concentrate is at whatever strength gives you a convenient round volume to transfer. E.g. if I wanted to add 10ml each time to get 30ml 18mg I'd make the stock 54mg/ml (10 x 54 = 30 x 18). |

What is the secret to blueberry. I made some awesome blueberry/banana and on the next 2 attempts I had to put it down the drain.
