    I had some strawberry pound cake and it was really good, i think savage or something. Strawberry right off with a yellow cake finish.
    But i think im gonna go with checkmate and payday on those 60 ml bogo on my next buy. The stuff i have now was sold to me as strawberry and creme, but it taste like berry captain crunch (not bad just not what i was expecting) all i have ever used was 50/50 and it looks like humble juice is 80%vg, does it still taste as good? I heard pg was better for flavor.

    Made a 32oz batch of my favorite home blend.. Toffee Popcorn. Should last me a while. 16oz of Butter Pecan behind it on the left.

    Capella Flavors are good but expensive, Flavor Apprentice also makes good stuff and is cheaper.

    I'd also like to get into making my own like @Seabass shows.

    I looked at both sites and found some flavor concentrates I'd like to try out..but didn't see pg and vg for the base.

    Most of the flavors are PG based. I get 100% VG base from Power Vapor Supply. Nicotine I get from myfreedomsmokes.com and for some ideas check out http://e-liquid-recipes.com

    I get my VG and PG (I make a true 50/50 blend for base) from Amazon (Essential Depot, $12 a liter for each).

    Flavor brands depend on the actual flavor itself. I spent 2 years hunting down the perfect caramel, and I found it in the English Toffee concentrate from Flavor West. Smooth and sweet, with no chemical taste. Try it at 10%. I have flavors from One on One Flavors, Flavor Apprentice, and Capella primarily but have tried just about every brand on the market when chasing down one specific flavor. I've found that prices don't vary too much across all of these brands, considering how much finished juice you can actually make out of even a small bottle of concentrate flavoring. Price didn't matter when it came to finding the perfect flavors for my daily juice. And, compared to the retail pricing of juices in vape shops, making your own costs a minute fraction of what it costs in stores.

    I've calculated that the big 32oz bottle of juice I made cost me, including juice costs and amortized shipping, $22.38. The bottle was an old empty one of the VG bottles I already had, so it was free. If you do the quick math, that boils down to a rounded-up $.70 per 30ml (1oz) of finished juice. You're talking less than 10% of the cost of most retail shops per ounce.

    I get my nicotine from Nude Nicotine in the 100mg/ml concentrate and cut it down to usually 3mg/ml in my juices. It's just basic math, really.

    When I mix, I add the amount of nicotine I need for the bottle size I'm using. That goes in first. Next, I add my flavoring percentages which are pre-calculated based either on recommends or my own blends. Lastly, I have a big bottle of pre-mixed 50/50 PG/VG that I add to the mixer bottle until it's full. Shake and steep. Not all blends steep as quick as others. Expect about 5-7 days for full flavor maturity.

    For mixing, I use a set of small Pyrex graduated flasks for the large batches, and I also have a couple of different size syringes for doing test runs on a 1 ounce batch. You can't use the tiny little syringe needles.. must be the thicker ones so the juices can squeeze through. You can find them on Amazon in multi-packs for cheap. Just rinse them well in water and dry them between using each flavor or chemical to prevent contamination. Remember to pull the plunger out of the syringe and wash thoroughly.

    It's much easier to mix larger batches when you think of everything in 1 ounce batches (30ml). Once I calculate what x% of 30ml is, I just multiply it by the ounce size of my bottle. For example, I know I use 10% Toffee in my favorite blend, so I know that's 3ml per 30ml of finished juice. Multiply 3ml x 32oz for the big batch I made, and it's 96ml of Toffee flavoring. I usually make it at 3% mg/ml nicotine, so the math tells me that it's almost exactly 1ml of nicotine for 30ml of finished juice after cutting down the 100mg/ml nic concentrate. So on, and so forth.

    Well looks like my wismec 2/3 is already broke. Screen stays black. Not on stealth mode. Black screen but will fire?
    Im guessing wismec will fix if I mail back on my dime.? If not I'll be looking at an alien?

    Honestly, my one and only flavor I vape anymore is the Toffee Popcorn that I make. It's been my daily for almost a year now. Here are some others that I used to make and use quite a bit, and would still enjoy in a second tank:
    • Cherry Wild Berry - was a blend of Wild Cherry and a Berry blend, both from One on One Flavors. Very strong flavors I mixed at a max of 5%. The cherry can be used in just drops per ounce
    • Vanilla Ice Cream - also a One on One Flavors concentrate, mixed at 10%
    • Salted Caramel Butterscotch - Salted Caramel from Capella at 10%, with a small amount of Butterscotch from LorAnn's (about 2%)

    Not my recipe, just the best version I found. I do a max VG and vape right away, if you let it steep for a couple days the flavors blend together nicely... TPA- Flavor Apprentice flavors

    5% Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TPA)
    3% DX Bavarian Cream (TPA)
    3% DX Sweet Cream (TPA)
    10% Strawberry (Ripe) (TPA)
    2% Vanilla Custard (TPA)

    Recipe is good like that but original creator says you can add "Koolada ~1 drop per 15ml for cool feeling"

    TPA- Flavor Apprentice
    CAP- Capellas

    My GF likes a clone of Cuttwood Sugar Drizzle, not my style but its good on occasions and you will go through cotton fast with this one.

    6.5% Bavarian Cream (CAP)
    3% Cinnamon Danish Swirl (CAP)
    1% Cotton Candy (10% EM/Ethyl Maltol) (TPA)
    6% Graham Cracker v2 (CAP)
    2% Sweet Cream (CAP)

    Its been awhile since I've had this one and hope its the correct one but this is a good winter vape IMO.

    Creamy Caramel Custard

    1% Caramel Candy (TPA)
    5% DX Caramel Original (TPA)
    3% DX Sweet Cream (TPA)
    7% Vanilla Custard (TPA)

    Ive got a couple more with Melon flavors, Peanut butter, etc.

Workin on thaf ambition right now, taste just like a lemon head (not a lot of blackberry in that blackberry lemonade but i still like it) i didnt clean my tank before i filled up but i guess the 80/20 that i put in there didnt like the 50/50 that i had been using because there is a film at the top of the tank now that looks like it seperated but it wont mix back up.

    You probably should be running 50/50 in that setup you have anyway. The 80/20 is more for the drippers. I can run it in the big tank I have but it has 8 coils in it and a lot of juice flow.

    U might not can tell from this pic, but i tried to wash the tank this mornin to get rid of that stuff that looks like Vaseline. It didnt come out just rinsing or using soap; i then got a hair pin and couldnt even scrape it out. Any ideas as to what it is and how to remove it?20170215_100337_HDR.jpg
