Hi guys, anyone willing to save me some time? I am not too good with the mathematics of DIY (or the online calculators) and just wondered if anyone will give me their exact mix amounts. I have been using Oupa's VM flavours which I like a lot, but have not been getting the amounts consistently correct (I am bad at marking everything and always think I will remember what I did, but of course is not generally the case 
). It is mostly the flavouring amounts that I don't get right. I like a 70PG/30VG mix or thereabouts. I use very low nic and not too concerned about that as I just add a few more drops (VM 18mg) to my tank if it isn't strong enough, but if anyone makes up around 6mg then that will be great to have the exact quantities. But my biggest fail is with the flavours...... do you guys generally measure out in drops or mls? I normally make about 20 or 30 mls mix at a time - how much flavour should I add (in mls, or drops). Mainly using the Caramel, Vanilla, Peach. Thanks in advance for any recipes (other flavours fine too as I regularly try new ones from VM)

I had the same problem but then i downloaded eLiquid Recipe Manager Lite from the Playstore and its pretty user friendly. Mixed my first bottle last night (100% vg mix) banana and caramel flavour. Busy steeping at the moment but will fire it up tonight. Give that app a try Fog-e.Hi guys, anyone willing to save me some time?

Thanks Yaqub - you will have to give me specifics please (link) - I am technologically behind
Thanks - will give that a try
Start with 10% total flavour. That would be 3ml in a 30ml eliquid. So add 3ml of Litchi. Or 2ml coffee and 1ml cream. Work your way up from there... i.e. add another 1ml litchi or add another 1ml coffee. It is important to keep record though.
Best is definitely to use a diy calculator.

Ok, thanks - will do that. I started off well marking the mixes and keeping record, but then I found I would make a mix, fill up a tank to try it and then add more flavour to the original mix, sometimes twice till it tasted good, which meant it was no longer accurate since it was no longer 30ml to which I was adding more
But going to make smaller quantities now and just start over each time. Will look at the calculators again too. Thanks for your help
This must be the trickiest part of DIY
I once saw a post on ECF or somewhere else (I cant remember) where they had quite a nice methodical way of doing this. It used a dropper. If I find it I will post the link

Just did a silly experiment.
5 drops of oupa's banana concentrate, 2 drops vanilla, and half a spoon of sugar in milk.
Tasty!!!!
Should rather have vaped it, but i was bored
I use to test my concoctions in this fashion. I'd mix the ratios in a bit of water, smell it, swirl it around my mouth and spit it out to see what stays behind. Just as you would a whine. It worked better than vaping it.
I think that taste varies with the device you using, the flavour and the PG/VG mix. You just have to find your own.
Going according to the calculator just does not do it for me. I just add stuff until it tastes good enough.

I keep meaning to order and keep getting distracted.
Had a look at the products and I'm wondering what I'll use for the extraction of the nic from their bottles.
It's a PG based nic which will go through a blunt syringe pretty easy, I just don't have one. You carry anything like this?

I'm assuming Benji = Oupa?
I won't be buying a kit, just individual bits. So if I purchase a syringe it will have a blunt needle with it?
yip thats oupa. I think so let'swaitforhimtorespond

Oupa Benji , when you get around to it please let me know if your syringes come with blunt needles and what gauge they are. I need some that can specifically funnel 100% VG without having to dip the entire syringe into VG.

i use the one he supplied for 100% vg takes a while to fill

I ordered last time a syringe with blunt needle as well from him, outside a kit
Even with the blunt needle it is a pita to draw up VG. I just take the plunger out, fill from the top, replace the plunger and use - no need for a needle at all.
The 36mg nic (Heaven Gifts) is VG based but also contains a drop of deionised water to thin it slightly, so it is not as thick as straight VG.
The syringes that come with our kit and that we sell separately (R10) do not come with a needle. I do however stock the syringe with blunt needle from eCiggies (R20). Not sure about the gauge though, but they are quite thick and work fine with straight VG.

I mix my VG with 20% distilled water to get the viscosity the same as PG. Read that on the other forum and thought it was a "requirement" with VG.
