I got tired of buying 30ml bottles for $16 and up at the local B&M, so I took the DIY plunge.
Starter kit:
1L VG
.5 L PG
125 ml of 100mg/ml nicotine solution in a 75/25 pg/vg ratio
TFA Flavors 30 or 15 ml each: Orange Cream, Strawberry, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Island Punch, Dragon fruit, Bavarian Cream, sweetner, can't remember any others right now.
30 ML glass bottles
Glass bottles for the PG & VG. Didn't want to leave them in plastic.
Droppers
50 ML cylinder
Luckily I already had extra blunt syringes for my pen ink.
First batches of roughly 70VG/30PG:
10 ML of ~ 6 mg Island Punch @ ~10%
30 ML of ~6 mg Orange Cream (7%) Vanilla Ice Cream (7%)
30 ML of ~6 mg Strawberry (~8%) Vanilla Ice Cream & Bavarian Cream (3.3% each)
I just shake 'n vaped the Punch at 10%. Not bad from the get go. Kind of reminds me of Hawaiian punch and Tropical Punch Kool-Aid. Tastes a little more well rounded today than it did yesterday.
I also tried the orange & vanilla. It needs more time to steep, but I think it will be ok.
The strawberry mix smells great, but probably needs some more time. Didn't test it yet.
I put the little bottles in a warm water bath (mason jar) last night. Hope it will help speed up the steeping. Will probably try a dragon fruit recipe like the strawberry one and just switch out the main ingredient.
It's pretty fun. Kind of like a chemistry set, but it seems difficult to get exact measurements. The syringes don't seem to account for the liquid in the needle, so a lot of the measurements had an extra .3 ML or so.
I was thinking about putting all the equipment into a mini fridge for storage, but I wasn't sure how necessary it would be. Currently it's in a basement closet.
