I do - now and then I'll buy a commercial juice that looks tasty so I can get some new ideas for DIY.

I use my own juice. Every few months I sample what's hot at the vendors to give my palette a break.
95% of the year I'm on the diy train.

If you're smoking juice the power/temp is too high, lower it to respectable vape standards.

I mostly only vape the good DIY recipes I have acumulated.... really good ones.

But there are a select few outstanding local, and international brands I still apprectiate. I do still buy, just much less. And the term "premium juice" has taken on a whole new meaning with me

DIY? Awesome. Anybody care to point me in the direction of some reading? Sounds like a fantastic hobby. Would love to try myself.

Anybody care to share a decent cereal vape or direct me to a clone that they have tried and loved?

Hi @Christos
I can help you out with a vanilla/sweet milk recipe if you want?
Well depending what you using to vape.
Cause on my dripper it's almost got like a milky almond taste to it. But on a tank has a milky favour.

Bottom feed mostly but leaning towards tanks these days.
Anything is welcomed.

Agreed. Just upset about local vendors passing their magical creations on as unique when in fact they are clones.

I've tasted some juices from different vendors that are very very similar. Just add in a bit extra of this and that for a slight deviation.

All commercial juices started out as DIY juices at some point, even if the manufacturer uses a professional mixologist. At some point those juices were made and tested by various people in order to perfect them, so technically they were DIY once
And please mate, get rid of the "smoking" word. You vape juices, you don't smoke them. Smoking is for people who light up stinkies and smoke them. Here, we all vape.

I prefer diy juice to commercial juices for a few simple reasons.

NB: I hate DIY normally because I am lazy - I use commercial coils in a tank but build on a dripper.

1. Most commercial juices juices have too much flavour. I know that they have to cater for a wide variety of power levels and devices but it does not help me if I want to vape at a specific level and get the vape I want. Juices that were good at 5w when I started tastes terrible now at 50w. When I now buy commercial juices, I have to tweak it by diluting and/or changing the pg/VG ratio to fit my needs.

2. Most commercial juices are too sweet especially American juices. It seems to be loaded with em or sucralose.

I started DIY by tweaking commercial juices by cutting, adding or just changing totally because I did not want to waste. There are a lot of people out there that do a semi DIY.

This is why I respect MMM so much. Besides the fact that they are yum, they are 100% authentic and unique.

And here I thought the one was a Nana Cream interpretation?

Lol... Oh right.

But you know what I mean, that's hardly what MMM is known for.

@Clouds4Days Where can I get Sweetener from?

 

[Roxy]

We will be trying DIY soon, or as we have decided to call it... potions class can't wait!

@Clouds4Days Where can I get Sweetener from?

Just note. EM or ethol maltol is not a sweetner. If you desperately need and you know what you are doing... go sucralose or mashmellow for low % sweetning. In this case I suspect sucralose.

DIY rocks man!! Cuts cost big time and I feel like a mad scientist at my disinfected kitchen top with surgical gloves.
I use e-liquid-recipes.com to get nice recipes and to ascertain which flavours I need to buy to mix the good stuff. Don't know about ya'll?

I have no problem with good clones. It is like booking a great cover band for a reception. Just because the real deal is out of your price range doesnt mean you arent allowed a good party hehehehe. It also seems like a great way to get your skills up, so I will definitely try out fresh creations by the guys who do good clones. Keeping the money local, supporting the small guy, that sort of thing.

If we ask them to label these mixes as clones I think it will just discourage people from making them.

I dot my Sweetner (sucralose) from Vapeowave.
