I am very glad you had success, right out of the gate. I have been mixing for years, and I have NEVER dumped any juice. Yes, I have had some not-so-good, but I just threw them in the closet and left them aloneā¦and most were better at a much later date, though some still needed a tweak, but all were vapeable.
The main key is to THINK out your recipe BEFORE you slam flavors together. Think what a pastry, a dessert, a drink, or whatever you are trying to get the taste/smell of, has in or on it. What does an Almond Joy candy bar consist ofā¦and how much of each? What does a strawberry cheese danish consist ofā¦how much of each?
This is a good read below, I hope you will take the time.
OK guys so now Iām finding some that Iām doing taste like nothing haha
But letās stray away from this and can you guys ( as I know each of you will have different opinions on the matter ) ā¦steeping
Do fruit mix liquids straight away " shake and vape"
And can you tell me how any of you steep or faster process ( atm Iām just shoving the bottle lid on and shoving it into a drawer , and shaking when ever I remember )
But any info will do!
Maybe I should tell you what flavours I currently have
Capella sweet strawberry
Pa - lemon
Capella sweet tangerine
Pa - raspberry
Pa - WATERmellon candy
Bubble gum ( doesnāt really state where itās from)
Ethyl maltol 10%
WATERmellon ( again no company name )
And any suggestions on what I can make also would be appreciated
After I mix up some juice I shake it then put it in some hot water not quite boiling.I let it sit in there till the water gets cold then shake again. I do this with the lid off. I leave the lid off for at least 10hours .After that I just let it sit in my box and will shake it ever couple days. Just donāt over think it . Eventually you will find a routine that works for you.
If you go to the recipe page and click where it says ratings then it will show the higher rate
ood recipes. Then just find one that you think you would like and give it a try. Itās all trial and error. Also the juice doesnāt always fill the bottle with me either.
Ah thanks dude any info on any kinda steeping is of helpā¦and as simple as clicking the rating tabā¦it never actually crossed my mind to do soā¦so cheers haha
Iāve used a few methods of speed steeping. Using hot water or a bowl of warm rice. Some people use crockpots, ultrasonic cleaners and magnetic stirrers.
Now I just use time. Unless Iām doing a tester bottle of 10ml I normally mix 120ml at a time. I have a Badger Paint Mixer that I will use for about 5 minutes or so in the mix. You can find them on Amazon for under $8. After that I give them a little shake and put them in a box in a closet. After that I give them,a shake when itās time to vape. I havenāt tried any custards so my longest steep time is a month.
So in theory you would have to make a flavour fot shake n vape ( if you donāt wanna buy over 3xpensive crap from shops ) then leave bigger bottles at a month and also make more bigger bottles
To get started laying down a stash from the beginning - I make a batch say of 4 bottles whatever amount. But at the halfway point e.g. When Iāve vaped 2, I must make another batch and repeat. Before you know it youāll have enough in the bank. How much you need on the go you will determine as you go.
This method gets you going. My biggest tip though is to start with small batches and test. But realise for many flavours especially berries and fruits too not all it needs 3 days just to blow off a few of the chemical volatiles.
Once you get your first couple of batches going you wonāt look back, just remember dont dip into your reserved bottles. Go a make the next batch.
Lastly, keep good notes. What you put in, when you made it, ratio, nic, etc.
Always mix big if its a flavour you have had before and you know you like it, once you get yourself through that first month and get yourself into a routine of mixing in advance youāll be golden, fruit flavours can be ok to vape after a few days, so search for some shake n vape recipes to tide you over, custards/creams etc as long as you can but a month at least, time unfortunately is your only enemy with DIY, the method i use now is blend them in a mag mixer, no heat, let em breath for a few hours then lock em away in a peli case for a month, ive found it works best for me. š
ā¦then you can click max vg. BUT if your nic is vg, that means your flavors are up above 20% which is usually the very highest youād ever want to go. If thatās the case, it could very well explain why your mixes donāt taste. If you go too high with many flavors they just die out and you canāt taste them at all (contrary to what a person might assume). What are some recipes youāve tried so far?
