VBIC is in.
It's all done. We are at 11.87.
Ooh sh1t. I made a mistake. I should have gone up to 11.67 and o went to 11.87. Damn!!!!
I put 2% more of VBIC. Ah no man.
Ok in the interests of getting it right I am going to redo it. Can't have my first recipe not right.
I wasn't concentrating properly.

@Silver, you could always just up the quantities of the rest of the ingredients to compensate?VBIC is in.

@Silver, it seems making 10.25ml instead of 10ml should solve your excess of 0.2g of VBIC
Right. Did it again. This time with the correct percentages of the flavours.
Landed up at 11.87 again but I made another mistake - I put in 0.2g too much PG. at least that's probably not as bad of a mistake. So I will let this one be finalized. Lol.

This one is done. Ended up perfectly on 11.66g
Had a tiny issue with a bit too much of one of the concentrates by about a drop.
The scale is sometimes not very stable to .01g. And the harder plastic bottles are more difficult to control. I much prefer the softer bottles.
I hope the tiny amount out will be ok. I will probably never know anyway. Lol

Thanks @yuganp !
Havent seen you here for so long!!!
I will try the next one using the Tare function after each ingredient
It’s MUCH easier!
Line up your ingriedients in the order gonna use them as well. Saves you having to look for them
Next up is Bruised Berry Ice by @rogue zombie
Am making 20ml here because the percentages are quite small and I need a bit more volume I think to make it easier to measure out some of the ingredients. The Koolada still worries me but I will do it as per the recipe.
Doing 9mg because I think it will probably be satisfying enough for me in the Billet Box or even the Skyline. I must admit, the choice of nic strength is a bit confusing because I need to think ahead what type of vape am I going to have and on what device.
One of the attractions with DIY is being able to choose all the variables. Now that I have the choice I am a bit stumped. lol.

But also what’s cool about DIY is that if you do get it wrong you can rectify it next time and tweak to exactly what you like!
I make 1.5mg juice for me cause that’s what I like. Can’t buy that anywhere.
I made a cactus guava mango menthol ice the other day purely cause I can and I wanted to see how it turned out!!!
This makes things so much easier.
A few tips from a fellow noob..
Don't worry too much about going slightly over. Once it steeped all blend together.
The koolada for you can be pumped up a little. Up to 2%. It doesnt affect the flavour so much. But it gives the coolness that I have gathered you liked.
I prefer to mix my concentrates, nic and pg first. Can mix it easier before adding the thick vg and giving it a final good shake.
And get an app. Personally I prefer Wizzy. It is a payed for app but I think its like R25. Gives an option to download directly from ELR and ATF. And it doesnt close the screen while in the recipe option. Also switch easily between gr and ml.and you can save and edit recipes as you wish.
Keep at it. You are doing well.
Bruised Berry Ice is done
Tare button made it easier @yuganp. Thanks. I thought it would interfere with the weighing by touching the scale but it was much easier. Thanks.
Juice smells good.
I tell you what. That INW Raspberry smells amazing! So too the FA Bilberry. I smell something in Bilberry that I recall from Twisp Rebel
FW Extreme Ice has a spearmint sort of smell. Not menthol. Let's see how this juice vapes.
I can feel the rabbit hole is calling....

Thanks for the tips @Adephi
The next one I will try add the VG last
As for the tip of the app, I just went with ELR for now because I wanted to mix something tonight instead of getting embroiled in a full investigation of all the possible programs. I like having something not only on my PC - so will investigate that app you suggested. Also realised I need something that doesn't switch off the screen lol.
Next two are done. Both single flavour tobaccoes. 7 Leaves and FA Glory.
7 leaves has a spicy sharp kind of smell. By the smell I think I may like it.
FA Glory smells a bit dirty and rough. Has a slight chocolate or liqueur type of smell to it. Smells great.

Well done @Silver after all this time you've finally mixed your first batch of DIY juices!
Don't worry about the odd drop extra or 0.02 grams mistake - you'll never notice it. And as you mix more you'll get used to your scale and the different nozzles and bottles (I also find those hard bottles tricky to work with.)
Enjoy it, you're going to love the DIY journey!
