DIY Mix Meet – Final Countdown!
Today is 29 April – the meet is this Saturday, 3 May
So far, I’ve only received 2 RSVPs. I’m sure more of you are planning to rock up, but please — do me a solid and let me know if you're coming.
There’s limited space, and I need to plan for how many people...
The DIY Mix Meet is fast approaching on Saturday, 3rd May, and we're gearing up for the Ultimate Custard Challenge!
What to bring:
Your DIY gear (PG/VG, flavours, bottles, etc.)
Your best custard recipe for the challenge!
Drinks and snacks, if you feel you are going to need them.
Cash/Card, so...
Ever wondered why "Blue Razz" tastes more like a colour than a fruit?
Let’s face it—flavour concentrates are a wild ride. From candy-coated fruits that don’t exist in nature to the strange magic that makes something "taste pink"… it’s not just mixing juice—it’s mixing illusions.
I’m no...
Alright lads…
Been playing around with an idea that’s a bit… unorthodox. You ever looked at a 3mm ID alien and thought, “Cool—but what if we went wider, flatter, chonkier?”
This one’s built for the big RDAs—the kind that laugh at 22mm decks and beg for more metal.
Still in the early stages, but...
Oh snap.
You're right, Baxteen — can’t rock up to my own event without a proper custard in hand!
I’ll be mixing mine tonight so it has just enough time to steep into something halfway respectable. Custards always need patience… but at least I’ll be able to say, “I brought the creamy goods."...
Thanks for jumping in, @SessionDrummer — you’re 100% right on the money.
@Stew just to clear the air: I really like the Coil Master V4 kit. It's been my go-to for years and I’d feel lost without it. My only gripe (and it’s a small one) is with that little cap that’s supposed to help fold the...
⏳ Less than 2 weeks to go!
The DIY Mix Meet is just around the corner, and things are shaping up nicely. If you’ve been on the fence about joining—now’s the time to commit. Whether you're brand new to mixing or an old hand with a stash of concentrates that could rival a lab, you're welcome...
Just dropped a new rant on the blog — this one’s close to the heart.

Oh, and while we’re spilling the DIY beans — I’ve got a little something that might help you not blow up your first few mixes (been there, done that, still vaping the evidence).
It’s a no-nonsense guide I slapped together for folks just getting started...
Hey man, welcome to the rabbit hole
Yup, it can definitely look intimidating when you see someone’s shelf stacked with every flavour under the sun — but most of us didn’t start out that way. It’s a slow (and slightly addictive) build over time.
If you’re looking for a solid starting point...
Hey @JMartin
Thanks for the reply. I 100% agree with those 2 nominations.
I also think we need add Uncle Rob (the main Man) and the guy from VSML (can't remember the name right now).
Hey folks,
I’m putting together a little something for the Old Goat blog, and I need your help.
I’m looking to shout out the legends — the mixers, modders, reviewers, and general misfits who still carry the torch for what made this community great. The ones keeping the DIY spirit alive...

Got a few toys on the way to the Goat Shed:
ThunderCloud Blaze Max Pro RTA – hyped for this one, can’t wait to see if it lives up to the name.
ThunderCloud Blaze RDA – had to complete the set, naturally.
Bonza Pro Tool Kit – time to finally retire the crusty Allen keys.
And… against my better...
