Hello and Happy Christmas

[Chewy]

Hello everyone
New member here!
I have been off the ciggies ( smoker for over 30 years!) and vaping for 5 weeks now,
I have a kangertech mini which is ok I guess but then I have nothing to compare to but I based my purchase on reviews!
Discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and have taken the plunge into the world of DIY!
Recieved a starter kit yesterday along with some flavourings with some more on the way.
Still trying to find my flavour but that was costing me a small fortune! And I thought I would be saving money as well?
Hence the DIY!
Well that’s my story so far and hopefully I will get involved and make some progress along the way!
Have a happy Christmas folks!

Hi Chewy, welcome aboard!

Ha, I think most of us flavor junkies are probably spending more these days, but it’s a fun hobby that has at least one really awesome community of folks. Most forums have come after me with pitchforks by now! I hope you find it rewarding and helpful.

I recommend you load your flavors into your stash, it is useful to add prices, even if they are not real, so that when you view a recipe you can see what is in it that you do not have. I’ll recommend a “what can I make” once your stash is loaded and then sort by polularity to get some good “starters.” I’d also say that if you aren’t shy you can make it public.

Welcome to the forum @Chewy! If you haven’t already visited these threads, they are a good place to get started if you’re needing some info:

Resources and Tips for Beginning DIY E-liquid

Recommended Flavors and Research List

So many times we get a newbie request to help rescue a wayward recipe. Most of the time the problem boils down to vendors flavor choice and usage percentage. We are hoping this proactive approach will give the newbies a resource to make better flavor purchases and the ability to see usage percentages and how others pair the flavors in recipes. We also hope the newbies take advantage of this resource and try some of these popular flavors instead of depending on one vendor for all their flavor nee…

Flavor Pairing

Flavor Pairing is a very essential part of cooking, mixed drinks, and now Ejuice blending. In our forum here I have seen mention here and there of favor pairing but no topic on the subject. I think the time is right for such a topic. Let me start with a favor that is often left out when seeing info on flavor pairing, BUTTERSCOTCH. Butterscotch pairs well with as follows Dark Chocolate, Banana, Brown Sugar, Cranberry, Cherry, Vanilla, Cookies, Nuts, Coffee, Caramel, Whipped Cream, Whiskey, Nec…

And if you get a chance, say hello in the intro thread!

Welcome Chewy. What part of EU are you from?

Share your stash when you get it loaded into ELR. There is a setting on… um… crap. The main page is down again. Someone email @daath.

Anyway, when it gets back up you can enter your flavors into your stash and share you stash so others can see what flavors you have to work with. It makes it easier to give you ideas on what you might need, or what you can mix.

Hi and Merry Chritmas from the UK. I’m a newbie on here as well. Definitely spending more but it’s way better fun. In my very short time on here I’ve had loads of valuable advice. The flavour list is great, choose the vendor flavours with the best reviews, I’ve purchased some flavours thinking that sounds nice and it turns out to be not so great. I searched my purchased flavours and guess what, they didn’t get great reviews. I’ve put all my flavours in my flavour list and if I’m stuck it will suggest recipes for me. Good luck and Merry mixing.

My flavour stash has been updated to my profile if anyone cares to look.
Many flavour still to get so recommendations are welcome!
If it helps I have a sweet tooth!

Looking forward to trying out some recipes and keeping me away from the dreaded cancer sticks!

Has anyone tried any irn bru recipes?
My favourite non alcoholic beverage, well it is Scotland’s other national drink and has a very unique taste.
I would say similar to a sort of citrus bubblegum ?

Enjoy the rest of your day and speak soon.

Don’t come around here bragging! Did you know that the toothbrush was invented in Oklahoma (USA)? Had it been invented elsewhere it would be a teethbrush. Haha. I’m good friends with a real life Scotsman. . .we joke around a lot. I once got him to say eden-burg. My crowning achievement. You could have listed off a lot of other things! Indecipherable Futbol commentary?

I too have a sweet tooth and I vape a lot of SnV. Fruits are your best bet for starting out quickly. Were I not on my phone, I would link you to a thread I started on quick flavor tasting…I use it a lot to develop SnVs. I’ve noticed some people labeling their recipes with SnV as well.
