Former smoker, turned vaper, first devices being a disposable off stamp, then other various disposables. That got expensive, so moved to XROS 4, then 5 pod system. Blowing through juice like mad (i use freebase 70/30 with it because the salts are WAY too potent for me).
So I decided to start making my own juices. I sourced 50/50 24mg/ml nicbase, blue raspberry and cotton candy from Delosi. I really wanted a 70/30ish freebase, so figured I’d simply add more VG (from amazon) to dilute the nic make a 60/40
After much more reading, i think I’m maybe way overpowered on the nicbase?
I feel like an idiot, this shouldn’t be this hard unless theres something i’m not getting right.
Here’s what i did.
In a 30ml bottle, i used 20ml nicbase, so thats 10 vg/10 pg, then added 10 more vg, which should make it a 60/40 mix right?
Then I added 1 drop of flavoring because I didn’t have a scale yet and it said 1 drop per ounce on the flavor bottle. And I figured you can always add more, if needed.
Steeped it 2 days, it lacked flavor, so added 1 ml (by then my syringe and scale had arrived) cotton candy. Steeped 2 more days and while the flavor was totally acceptable, the harsh throat hit was most unwelcome. Enough so to turn my concoction bottle into a desk ornament, reminding me of failure at every glimpse…
Is there some way to fix this?
Sorry for the book, I’m just a really stupid newbie who cant afford to simply buy my favorite e-liquids anymore. (Plus, i have a bottle of licorice flavor and i think black licorice jelly bean would be a spectacular flavor, and I’ve never seen that one on a store shelf.)
I’m working on getting a dead rabbit 4 rda for home use and flavor testing, but currently I love the portability of my XROS 5 pod even though i have to carry a bottle of juice everywhere I go (chain-vaper).
