So follow this journey with me as i mix and test one shots both locally and internationally from both BLCK and FWSA. I hope to provide quality feedback which will assist vapers new to DIYing their own juices as well vapers with DIY background on how these one shots work and taste after mixing.

If you do have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!

NB. This post will be updated as mixing is done and will keep changing with possible new information.

****Disclaimer****
All One Shots are sponsored by the mentioned companies specifically for review. I do not get paid to post these reviews and the feedback posted are subjective of my own personal taste, experience and views. We do not recommend that anyone lick or drop test juice with nic as this can be dangerous to your health.

Easy One Shot Kit guide

First we start with the BLCK Easy One Shot Kit which BLCK vapour has put together to make this process so much easier especially for new vapers wanting to get into mixing their own One Shots.



What is an easy One Shot Kit?

BLCK have developed an easy way for vapers to mix one shot concentrates. This kit contains the following

• 1 x Chubby 100ml bottle
• 1 x Nicotine Shot
• 1 x Measuring Card (with instructions) for 100mg nic shot
• 1 x PG/VG Pre Mixed Base (no nicotine)
• (choose from the following sizes 100ml / 250ml or 500ml)
• One shot concentrate not included - Must be bought separately

Buy this kit HERE

So how does it work?

Start by holding the measuring card against the empty 100ml chubby bottle

1. Start by filling your one shot concentrate at the recommended percentage specified on your one shot concentrate.

For this guide we used Captain Cool which required 9% concentrate to be mixed, So we filled the bottle to the 9mm mark. Each mm mark indicates as 1% when using a 100ml Chubby Gorilla Bottle only.



2. Now fill the bottle with your pre-mixed base making sure to stop at the bottom line of the nicotine strength you desire



3. Now fill with nicotine shot to get to the 100% line. ALWAYS USE GLOVES



4. Shake - Steep & Vape



The kit comes with a 100mg/ml measuring card. Measuring cards available separately for 36mg/ml & 48mg/ml

Thank you @Dietz Looking forward to tasting all these one shots as they all smell great!

@StompieZA thanks for this.
It's like a quick and simple guide for "dummies" if I can phrase it that way.
Will definitely put this to the test, although I am not a "dummy" but it would be a good experiment to see how spot on you are

@Richio good job on those measuring cards.

Oneshots is the NEW DIY - so many people are converting, thanks for doing this @StompieZA

Thanks Bud, and agree!

I have been DIYing for a good couple of years now and must say it still grinds my teeth to look through concentrates to find that one specific one for a recipe. This makes it in all ways so much easier and better for beginners and experienced DIYers, Takes like 5 mins to mix a juice which is awesome and at a much cheaper price! Biggest thanks goes to BLCK for seeing my vision and sponsoring me the oneshots to make this possible.

What a great idea!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!! First review of captain cool should be up around next week as tomorrow i start testing. Been vaping a tank here and there after SNV and the following day and can say........you have to wait for the review!

Looking forward to these reviews

Especially when vapers arent sure what to expect from diy or what to buy it becomes overwhelming these ez shots from @Richio simplify it.

Yeah, finding a higly rated recipe online is easy...then having to buy nic, PG/VG, around 8 concentrates for the recipe...it becomes expensive when just starting off with DIY. Once you have a bucket load of popular and regularly used concentrates already, mixing is easy and "Affordable" as you already have stock on hand.

So yeah the one shots with Easy kit makes it so much easier, cheaper especially for those unsure on DIYing.

Great to see @StompieZA
Lovely writeup
It looks easy and I am sure many will benefit from this

Thank you Silver!

@StompieZA this is a great thread.can we fast forward the reviews please!!I cannot wait.
I honestly think you should add bamango to the list.my very first one shots was captain cool and bamango on ice.absolutely loved both and bamango has been my adv since easter weekend.

Busy testing the Grape Ice by Theo Thart and the review will probably be up tomorrow. I didnt start with Captain Cool.

Will be ordering 100ml bottles this week and then i will mix all other one shots in one go and will post regular updates.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the Pearlosophy... I am on my first one-shot batch of that at the moment. I mixed mine as a 0-Nic, 70/30 and quite like it, but it is a little flat (that may be the lack of nicotine and not the one shot). I very much like the pear flavour, but I don't think it can be an ADV for me. The pear has a "perfumed" angle to it that is great, but I think it will get a bit much after a while.
I will do the next batch as a 50/50 (not going back to the Nicotine) and update on what it did to the overall experience.

Nice to get your feedback and look forward to testing, just wanting to get some bottles so that i can mix all together.

Grape Ice One Shot (VS)







Flavor & Juice description from BLCK Website:

This is a delicious Icy cool blend of Pure and sweetened grape juice perfect for grape fanatics

Additional Information:

· Best mixed at 9% with 70vg/30pg

· Steeping Time: 3-4 days for full flavor

· Bottle: 10ml Original Chubby

· Recipe created by Theo Thiart

· Cost – R60 @ BLCK Vapour

· Make-able Amount – 110ml from 9% as recommended from 10ml

Drop Taste:

A sweet purple grape that reminds me of the purple chappies bubble gum but with ice as my tongue goes cold. I also get a slight sour taste almost like the juice you get while chewing that purple chappie which forms in your mouth.

SNV Notes

Mixed the Grape Ice one shot and after a decent shake, I added it to my Aqua Master RTA with fresh wick and started vaping. The juice is SNV approved but flavors aren’t popping yet and still muted.


3 Day Steep Notes

After 3 days the juice started getting together and blending nicely with the grape starting to pop and shine. Im starting to taste the sour I got from the drop test.

1 Week Steep Notes

Much the same as after the recommended 3 days but I feel that its smoother. No perfumey after tastes ect and the grape is great!

Taste and flavor notes

To me this grape isn’t a very complex recipe but it was decently put together cause I have mixed several purple, white and green grape juices and always found that one would get that purfumy notes if the grape % is too high but then would fade away if the % is made too little. In this One Shot the grape is perfect and works great. I couldn’t find the actual recipe to see what flavors were used but from my history of grapes, I suspect it to be Grape Candy from TFA..but I could be wrong.

Overall feedback and quality

Excellent well mixed grape juice with just the right amount of ice added as well as sweetner. Not overly sweet but not too little either, I like it and would recommend it to grape lovers like me! I think the very first juice I ever mixed was my own purple grape juice after finishing a bottle of Because Bubbles Matter – Urban Grape. This is similar but not as sweet.

Testing Using:

• Aqua Master RTA - Dual
  
• Drag 2 Platinum
  
• Power Range Tested: - 50W to 70W
• RDA - Wasp Nano Single Coil (Still to be tested)

So hope you guys enjoyed my first mix and review of the one shot and that i did it justice, feel free to give me some feedback, suggestions or likes! @Richio
