Hello my fellow vapers
I've just started dabbing into diy mixing.
Vaped my first batch of flavour today after steeping for 5 days (using a ultrasonic) . So what I want to find out is usually I will fill up my ijust2 in the morning using commercial juice and by 3-4 pm tank is empty. Today I vaped my diy juice still same routine as always but by 6pm I was still vaping with same tank.
Has anyone experienced the same thing?
My vaping habit was the same as always.
Actually I think I might have even vaped more cause every time I looked at my tank I said to myself it's still so full so I would vape more. Hahaha.
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

You have a more intimate connection with your own made juice - so you need less. Or it is just not as good as the juice you buy - so you want less.
Seriously? No, just joking.
 
Dude, I honestly think it's in your mind lol. When I started DIY, my flavours sucked big time and naturally I vaped less because I only done it to suppress the nicotine craving. Once I got it right, with 7 flavours in rotation (of which 5 were my own creation), I was back to my 30mls a day!

Maybe it's because you have a recipe that has a higher percentage of VG? I find that the more PG in my juice, the quicker my tank/dripper runs dry (I stick to 70% VG now though)
 
If only this was true.. I wouldn't have wiped out 60ml of diy since yesterday ;-)

I'm currently running a 70vg

Give it some more time bud. 1 day of vaping isn't enough to compare to your previous average. Also try to measure with mls or tanks instead of hours just as a sanity check ;)

Cool I will keep yous posted if I notice any changes. I just wanted to see if what I noticed was truth or a figment of my imagination.
Thanks for the replies

Holy crap. How do I vote impressive? What are you using that's blasting through so much juice?

(Or is the leaky goblin confusing you a bit? ;) )

Well yeah, 59ml goblin leakage, but i BLAZED through 1ml in the Griffin.

Either that or a hole in the bottom of your juice bottle ☺
Least it was diy juice otherwise at that rate with commercial juice might as well buy shares at a vape shop. ☺

Yeah it's probably the most Ive ever vaped in such a short time - and yes it does help knowing I can always make more ;-)
 
So my recent diy juices are craving satisfaction. This week it was milk and sugar (I'm on a diet) so basically mixed up creams and em with a little bit of nic 1mg

I Vaped that exclusively and since the nic was lower than my usual 3mg and it was exactly what I was feeling for I finished off a 120ml batch in 4 days.

This sounds like something that should be bottled and sold. Put me in line for the first batch!!!

I am also using a Ijust2 for vaping on the road(It just works in my steering hand)

I also noticed what you are noticing, I used to buy imports and I flew through 30mls in 2-3 days. With my battery running out at about 6 hours and i'm almost done with a full tank.

Then I made this DIVINE(No seriously DIVINE) watermelon condensed milk juice @ 3mg nic and 70vg, and good golly it is good. Vaping this my battery lasts about 4 hours(I have four Ijust batteries, some of them brand new, so not battery degradation) and my tank is usualy only a quarter of a way done.

This could be a weird placebo, but the factual observations I have made tells me that DIY juices(Maybe just the VG/PG we use) does last longer.

Can also be that you never cut it with anything like distilled water?
Or that u did not steep it as long so not as watery....?

Just a suggestion...
 
Damn you guys vape a lot......30mls a day:eek:

My device hardly ever leaves my hand & yet I barely go through 15ml:D
 
No I find the opposite is true - I go through much more DIY juice. Besides when it's rubbish.

I savour my store bought juice, mainly because I only buy juice I can't come near replicating. So I'll drip a mil of it hear and there.

With my DIY juice, I keep it flowing
 
sheesh you guys freak me out saying you vaping 30mls a day, I'm currently ranging between 10ml-15ml a day. I vape like I smoked, go outside every hour to have a vape then come back inside - and so goes my day. How is it even possible to vape 30mls, I mean your device must be constantly firing, or do you just have big lungs @shaunnadan and @method1 I assume you guys can vape in the office ?
 
Milk and Sugar:

6% Sweet Cream (CAP)
5% Fresh Cream (TFA)
3% Whipped Cream (TFA)
2% Bav Cream (TFA)
2% EM
0.5% Honey (TFA) - * this was 1 drop per 10 ml

Flavor total: 18.5%

it depends on which office im working from. some days i have a vape in the morning and then again only when i clock out of the office at 5-6pm

its no longer a nic delivery alternative for me. i can go for days without the nic and not have any cravings.

for me its all about the flavour and clouds

that reads amazing, gonna brew up a batch :). Just need to get some ingredients though :(. What was your steep time on that recipe?

this was blitdz like crazy because of it being something i was craving. i had next to no nic in there so i wasnt too worried about it being degraded.

steeped the 120ml all in 1 night!

so using a secret mixing method (i didnt just throw everything all into a jar at once)

once all mixed i used a coffee frother stick attachment on the end of a cordless drill

BLITZ !!!! till the juice froths up into almost a cream
ultrasonic for 10min at 50w - it will return to liquid form after about 5 min

repeat those 2 steps about 4 times!
