Hi, went from 50 camels a day (for the past 12 years) to vaping and only vaping. Haven't had a cigarette in 5 months but if I don't succeed in mixing my own juice I'm afraid I might just abandon vaping... Here mainly to get help with mixing!

Welcome. Mixing can look like a daunting task but if you follow some basic rules you can do it.
Find a recipy that looks like you might like it
Stick to that recipe, especially in the beginning. You can start plying around with the recipy when you have more confidence.
Make sure you buy the flavours as stated in the recipe. Do not substitute. If it says CAP, buy CAP and nothing else. Substituting comes later.
Then relax and mix.
DIY is not an exact science. If you put 1.05ml in in stead of 1.00ml that is fine.
Store your flavours and bases in a cool dark place and the nic in the fridge.
Read the forum. There are many posts and threads with advice.

Do not worry too much about all the other things discussed on the forum. Keep it simple in the beginning.
Good luck.

Hey Ian here from Bloem
Originally started vaping 5 years ago on disposables then got my first non disposable 2 years ago...
Stoped vaping for a fiew months (quit my job to focus on my studies)
And started vaping up a storm (if 3 ml a day was a storm) last week.

I'm currently using a simple rebrand of a justfog... mostly the coffee or vanilla flavors but thinking of trying something sweeter
 
Hi everyone,

Have made one or two posts, but never introduced myself.

I am Dewald from Johannesburg, moving to Germany in two weeks.
I started vaping about 2 years ago on the Twisp devices. Recently upgraded to a proper mod and tank and my world has changed.

I see this changing into a hobby as I'm constantly on here gathering information and watching reviews on Youtube.
Can't wait to use this forum for help when I move onto RBAs and all the other more advanced vaping stuffs.

Hey vape fam,

My name is Nevern. I'm from the East of Jozi (Benoni boy). Been a smoker for about 10 years and realised it was time for a change. Only been vaping for a couple of months. Started off with a Kangertech TopBox Mini but ended up dropping it and it was never the same again. I bought an Eleaf iStick Pico with the Melo III Mini about a month ago and I really love it.

Still very much a noob in the vaping community. I've spent a lot of time on ECIGSSA and IAVA on Facebook just learning from you masters. Hope to learn some cool and new things about vaping from you guys.

Cheers.
