I mix big batches of juices that are for my friends and keep them in the closet. I’ll add nic when I get the call that they need a refill. And its either salt or freebase.
Because every time I get a new flavor in and want too play with that day, or get an idea maybe worth exploring, I get a refill call. Like they do it on purpose and I then have to put my other ideas on ice that day lol.
For myself I mix maybe 30-120 ml because I can’t stick to one juice for a long period of time. But even then I don’t add nic to the mix and wait till I actually want to vape it. 30-60 ml last a day, maybe two if I’m lucky lol. But I always have testers around etc.
I’ve answered one of their calls once and lied, that was a year ago, still feeling guilty lol.
Friend of mine asked me if its my day off and I said that I needed to cover for someone. Asking her why and she answered with, I need juice but NP it can wait till next week.
Because I wanted too play with FW cake batter dip, which turned out to be a big mistake
I felt so happy for 3 minutes but then guilty and it still bothers me. Guess I just can’t be “mean” once lol. But I learned my lesson and just keep their batches stocked lmao. Your conclusion might as well be applicable here!
I just mix it all at once now. There was a short period of time where i would add it a couple days before mixing but that didnt last long. I have mixes that are well over a year old that still taste pristine. Just store in glass in a cool dry and dark place with a proper cap and yer all good.
This is not what I am reading here. Da and AP seems to decrease markedly after 8 weeks.
Also, in nic containing eliquid, a conversion or acetoin to diacetyl, which is concerning as people tend to avoid da more than ap or acetoin.
Research it more if your interested, yes ac is converted to da and then reduced due to the presence of nicotene, the article referenced is assuming nicotene is in the test e-liquid and pionts out the results that dont contain nic, its not the best article on the study, ill try to find the others.
i have a few of my tried and true recipes that i mixed in 100/120ml
i dont get tired of them because i have quite a few different recipes to mix it up
i have probably over 2,000 ml of juice made
so if i use 6 ml a day it will take me near a year to finish.
and i have given away at least 1,000
still i have 20 10 ml bottles that i will run some test recipes in
i enjoy the successful ones
its a hobby possibly turning into an obsession !
i know this every who tries mine says it is way better then anything off a vape shop shelf
i agree !!
Dumb question for this old thread. Does anyone increase flavorings when mixing large batches or do you stick with the %'s in the recipe just on the larger scale? Do flavors change when mixing larger amounts?
I seem to go thru a lot of juice and constantly mixing 120ml batches is sometime a chore!
Nothing changes in that respect stick to the same % it may take a little longer to steep when you get up into the larger mixes (depending on how you are mixing them).
I don’t have any large bottles for large batches so i mix my recipe and then it sits on the mag stirrer for an hour or so mixing. I then pour it into two smaller bottles. For example i make 240 ml batches and pour it into two 120ml bottles and then sits and steeps for several weeks or more. Some not so long cause I get to missing my fav mixes!
I’ve noticed since i have started making these larger batches that my juice does not taste the same. I probably need some larger bottles.
Looking at a three week old mix in one bottle it appears the mix is not blending you can see different weights of liquids when viewing it through the clear bottle. The second bottle of the same mix is completely blended. I’m sure this is why my mixes are not tasting right.
If you zoom in on the photos you can see what i so badly tried to describe!
That comes out of a magnetic stirrer??? If it’s only 240ml you mix, you can still shake it better by hand. Watch out for tennis elbow if you’re planning on multiple batches
When I shake my bottles by hand, they’re all hazy because of all the air bubbles in them and the liquid looks the same from top to bottom. Your bottles only have a few bubbles and you can still see it’s not a homogeneous fluid. You need to mix it much better before you split it in smaller bottles.
I don’t have experience with magnetic stirrers so I’m not sure you need to get those air bubbles, but you really need to have a very homogeneous fluid. You can still see streaks of thick, unmixed VG in them.
This was after better than an hour on the mag mixer. The whole batch was mixed and had a million little bubbles through out prior to putting them into smaller bottles. The picture in my post is after 18 days steep. Half looks as you said heavier vg still not blended the other bottle same batch appears to be more blended. Hence the flavors being off. I am wondering if My little mixer just isn’t up to the task of larger batches.
I just ordered a case of 8 oz boston rounds so i won’t have to split them up! May need to upgrade my mixer for larger batches. I’m not much into the tennis elbow!!
