Stylin! Found this for Fifty bucks at a local B&M. Nearly fell over.

Long story short, one of my favorite E-juices is Glacier Banana, part of the Epic Clouds line by Namber Juice. I mixed a small bottle about a week ago, around 10 ML. I let it sit for a few days, took the top off the bottle and sniffed it. It smelled almost identical to the original juice. Turned out the banana and menthol were both weak, but I knew I was on the right path. So I dove in bravely, mixed a full 60 ml bottle the other night after making some adjustments to the recipe, and while it's not PERFECT, it's really really close. It could now use a little less banana and a little more Menthol to give it the proper bite, with a mellow banana after taste. It's still great tho, I've been hitting it all day, but I'm pretty sure I have the final recipe in order. I'll come back and confirm later once I blow through this 60 ML I mixed. Tough part is the amount of flavoring it's taking to make it work, but it still comes out to a 70/30 PG VG mixture, which is a little lower VG than I hoped, but I had to use a LOT of flavoring. Way more than I expected TBH, though it seems to be rather close to spot on. Is what it is I suppose...perhaps you guys can make some suggestions on how to get more out of the flavors? Maybe there's nothing to be done. Anyway, here's the mix: 25% DX Banana Cream Flavor By Signature (TFA) 5% Arctic Winter (Menthol) by FlavourArt 10% Erythritol (5%) in VG Solution 60% VG solution premixed with 6mg of Nicotine So essentially I'm at about a 70/30 mix with about 3.6mg of Nicotine. (unless my math is broke) Current mix has flavoring at 27% Banana Cream with 3% menthol. I figured if I bring the menthol up while dropping the banana slightyly it ought to be spot on, but 30% flavoring has a rather WTF sort of factor to it. But like I said, I'm not sure it can be helped. As of right now I have blown through about 6 ML of it today, and I'm pleased as punch.

I started by joining www.e-liquid-recipes.com and downloading this calculator: http://ejuice.breaktru.com/ Take some time to play with the calculator. It comes with some recipes. Learn how to tell the calculator what type of nic you are using and how to set your desired nic strength. If you have a good relationship with a local B&M they probably have a book full of juice descriptions that will give you starting points regarding the flavors used in juices. You won't get a recipe but you may get some really helpful hints.

The girl or the car, @Walt?

I ordered one of these to go with it:

He's adorable @Tam

Not to spend your money or anything (snicker snicker), but here are a couple of fun add-ons for down the road that I found useful: https://www.homesciencetools.com/pyrex-erlenmeyer-flasks Nice and light, don't add much weight to the scale for measuring. Thin bottom, magnetic pills work great. Has that laboratory/mad scientist look that I find so appealing. https://www.amazon.com/SE-8036TM-NEW-Telescoping-Magnetic-Capacity/dp/B000RB3XBA Really helps in getting the pill out of the flask.

You're the best @Edna, But as you have taught me well, Back-ups, Back-ups, Back-ups. You may need to order another in the fall. Just in case!!

Congratulations!!! And BTW, you've helped me immensely in my journey into vaping as well! Make hay while the sun shines. We'll be here when you get done

Get these too: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B019IBBUKU BTW: @Earthling789 gave me these suggestions. Credit where credit is due. He hit the nail on the head for what I need.

@Walt where did you get it I want one

Just ordered a SMOK Alien Baby AL85 in black and silver and a couple of 18650's from the ever AWESOME VaporTalk Store *happy dance* Since it's my one year vaperversary present to myself maybe our kind leader @Christopher will toss in the battery case I forgot to add (go ahead and charge me for it) I can't wait until it gets here...WAH-HOOOOO
