Gettin the hang of this

[Walt]

This may seem like a pointless post, but I want to share my little victory with the only folks I know will understand.  Been fighting with a strawberry home brew for awhile.  I am starting to get a feel for what each flavor will do in a mix.  I dare say I have found Strawberry Cream recipe that is exactly what I was looking for.  Now that is impossible buying commercial juices.  Don't mistake me, some are very good.  But I had a taste in my mind and I hit it.  For me, this is when vaping becomes exquisite!

And the recipe pray tell?......

[Walt]

@Bebop  Ok, with this warning.  It may taste like Draino to others.  I have found that my taste differs from most:

Bavarian Cream  2%

Sweet Cream 3%

Strawberry Ripe  10%

Sweetener .5%

70/30 VG/PG

6%  Nic

I just buy a premade strawberry/cream flavoring them mix it up its pretty good

Thanks Walt.  All of our tastes differ of course.  Haha

.5% sweetner?  What sweetner do you use?

6% nic?  Did you mean that?  What mix are you using? 

[Walt]

@Bebop  All the flavors are TPA/TFA including the sweetener.  And yes, I mix everything at six percent nicotine.  I buy 100mg nicotine in pg.

Would you wanna sell 30 ml of it?

I appreciate the vote of confidence.  Message me an address and I'll send you a sampler 10ml bottle to try out.  I don't want to get into selling e-juice with the Guberment going wack like they are.  I can envision them being total a-holes at the least opportunity.

Better watch out Walt, the vape police will get you. I don't believe there is a law yet about giving it away, but you could do like me and a few others here, give it away, but not turn down donations.

Oh that's a hoot.  I'm sure the Guberment will have Vape PoPo soon if they don't already have some.  Appreciate the idea but I don't want to let this wonderful hobby become work.

What are you using as a sweetener?

An excellent question.  I use Erythritol personally, which isn't as sweet, and holds up well at high temps.  Others use sweeteners that are a LOT more sweet.  

[Uncivil11]

Like the powder? Or does it come in a liquid now? When I was a buyer in the natural foods world we used to get powdered form.

No it's a 5% Erythritol 95% VG mix.

[leadpipe58]

Might I make a suggestion. I do my best to not use sweetener. I would replace it with some CAP marshmallow or TFA Bavarian cream. To name a few. I do like a touch of sweetness when it had to be.
A good solid recipe.go to ELR and check gods milk ,mothers unicorn milk and maidens milk. To get some ideas.

I already have Bavarian Cream and Sweet cream in my limited flavor selection.  Marshmallow was on the list, but I was trying to keep my order under $30 at the time.  They aren't enough to pull the sweetness to where I want it unfortunately...

Walt, so is it better to buy nicotine as 100% pg or vg?

Wow, I have no idea.  I've had both and they both work fine.  Good question. 

[TheFinz]

I presume you're talking about premixed Nicotine?  I don't like throat hit in my mix or as little as possible, so I always do VG base.  If you like a stronger throat hit, then PG is the way to go I'd suppose.

That's possible but I think the impact on throat hit per PG comes down to the overall mix percentage of PG/VG.  We've got a chemist or the equivalent on board here.  Maybe he'll chime in.  Some flavors seem to promote greater throat hit too.  I only say this because I had one mix with a lot of Strawberry Ripe FA in it and that was like vaping Tobasco sauce at 6mg of nic.  Other blends didn't exhibit that at the same percentage. 

[TheFinz]

Well of course it comes down to the primary mixing mostly, but my premix with nic is VG,  more or less the only thing that has PG in it all is the flavors I choose to mix in.  So most of my mixes are 80/20 at lowest.

Anybody?
