New to the group & new to mixing. Been vaping over 4 years. Not very adventurous, just puffing same old juice. Hadnā€™t tried many flavors & just stayed with one or two basic blends. My local shop has had supply issues & constantly increasing prices. After getting jerked around one to many times. I looking into mixing. Iā€™m shocked at how cheap I can make my own juice. I could dump buckets of failed mixes & still be cheaper. Now Iā€™m totally stoked about tasting & attempting new flavs. Having fun & chatting with new peeps. Iā€™m a.total NooB, so I will ask questions. Even dumb ones. So please forgive me in advance. I got thick skin so I can take & enjoy a good ribbing now & again.

So I started gathering my stash about a week ago when I decided to mix. After a small order of flavors, about 30, I realized I needed to expand my palette. I had not tasted many of the fabulous new mixes available. Top that off with, Iā€™m a simple dude with no experience taste testing anything. I.e. youā€™d never find me at a wine tasting, swishing, swirling, gurgling or sniffing Port or Chablis then giving some fantastic report on the 50 individual ā€œnotesā€ā€¦ lol
So I have a lot to learn.
Thanks for having me.

Tell us what you have been vaping (for years) and we may be able to give you a couple recipes we recommend that would be in the same ballpark.

There are a few new starters posts, I think pinned somewhere, advising about what to start with. The how to start is great if you have most popular tastes. If like me you donā€™t like CAP custard, you might find it a bit off.
Also, they are long and pretty much every new starter is in a hurry.

As a summary, you probably donā€™t want to buy what you think you want to buy, get plenty bottles for testing, get cheap scales, screw pipettes and syringes*, get twist top caps for your VG/premixed base bottles.
With hindsight, donā€™t be like me and get fewer flavours :slight_smile:

Hi everyone. Iā€™m George, I started vaping at the end of August to try and quit cigarettes, and I took to it right away (I havenā€™t had a cigarette since my 3rd day of vaping!) As I was reading up on vaping, I found out you can make your own eliquid and so I started researching, reading and learning. I finally made my first DIY purchase around 5 weeks ago (and have more flavors set to arrive today) and have still mostly been working on single flavor testers with a couple of simple mixes just to try. One of the things I read on mixing had a link back to ELRā€™s calculator (which is how I found this great site). I actually didnā€™t realize these forums were even here until just over a week ago, and once I found them I spend so much time reading all the useful information here, that I hadnā€™t gotten around to introducing myself. Since this topic popped up for me this morning, I figured now would be as good a time as any to introduce myself. So here I am. New and learning and happy to be vaping rather than smoking, and so glad I found this site. :slight_smile:
