Johannesburg DIY E-Liquid Mixers Meetup - Let's Mix and Mingle!

Bad news: Nick from BLCK will not be joining us this time.
So we need to make this event a banger so that he will not want to miss the next one.
 
Nic is a savant.

he took 3 drags of my juice and identified 4 of the 6 ingidients.
2 mins later he got the last 2. he man has an ability to identify flavour that I have never seen before

Hey everyone,

I'm gearing up for our DIY vape juice mixing event at Mad Giant Taproom on May 11th, and I want to make sure it's not just informative but also tons of fun! I'd love to hear your creative ideas to add an extra element of enjoyment to our gathering.

Do you have any suggestions for activities, games, or unique twists we could incorporate into the event? Whether it's a mixing challenge, a flavor guessing game, or something completely unexpected, I'm open to all ideas!

Let's make this a memorable and interactive experience for everyone involved. Share your thoughts and let's make our DIY vape juice session one to remember!

Looking forward to your input,
 
Hi there is just a bit confusing about the time. Is it 12:00 midday or in the evening?
 
Final call! I want to make sure there is enough space for us, so please let me know if you are joining us.

I'm not anticipating a massive turnout—this is the first DIY e-liquid mixing event of its kind outside of a vape expo, and it's all grassroots, no big budgets or sponsorships. Just a small gathering of like-minded folks ready to mix it up!
 
Exciting News!

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to give a huge shout-out to @Nick Black for their generous sponsorship of our DIY e-liquid mixing event happening tomorrow! BLCK has graciously provided us with 15 bottles of their premium flavour concentrates, which will add an exciting range of options to our mixing session.

It was our pleasure!

We were having massive FOMO lol but we heard from a few guys and they truly enjoyed the day!

We are always happy to fuel the DIY Vaping Scene and we look forward to the massive growth of these meet-ups!
 
Hey everyone,

I just wanted to share a quick recap of our DIY vape juice meet that went down last weekend. It was such an awesome day filled with flavour experiments and good vibes. I'll admit, I got so wrapped up in the fun and games that I forgot to snap as many photos as I wanted to! Next time, I'll be sure to capture more of the action.

Huge thanks to BLCK for their support with the flavours and supplies, and of course, a big shoutout to Mad Giant Beer for hosting us at their awesome venue. Most importantly, I want to thank the amazing folks from EcigSA who joined me for this epic day of mixing and mingling.

Stay tuned for more exciting meetups in the future!
 
so sad I missed this. stupid work thing that kept me so busy i only realised the date on the sunday. still sad I missed it
 
I'm excited to start planning our next DIY e-liquid mixing meet-up! We've got three potential dates: September 21st (Saturday), September 24th (Wednesday - it's a public holiday!), and September 28th (Saturday). I will also be looking for a new venue for the event. The Mad Giant Tap Room was cool, but space was limited.

I need your input on which date works best for most of you. Also, I want to gauge interest and create some buzz around the event. Last time was a blast, and I can't wait to do it all over again with even more flavours and fun.

So, what do you think? Drop your preferred date in the comments and let me know if you're interested in joining us for another epic day of mixing and vaping.
 
would it be better if we held it close to say Blck's store in Benoni so if we need to pop over to grab some stuff its close.
but I have not lived in the east rand since 2016 so I have no idea if there is even a place close by that would be a decent venue. I have been to the store though.

I kind of remember there being a pub next door to blck.
and according to google maps there is Dingo's pub and grill where cool runnigns used to be.
and there is gazz monkey pub and grill as well thats not too far from blck.

this is just me giving ideas. I am a pretoria guy now so I would sugjest something like Capital craft, Hennies, Rock@88, or hell even Moonshot could be arranged. I might know a guy at Moonshot.

Why do you have the same profile pic and why are you the only one that pops up? Sorry, I guess my age is showing.

Well... Considering I've joined this forum back in 2014 and have always had the same profile pic, and baxteen has joined way later than me, I don't see a reason to change my profile pic. Nor does he have to change his :--P:-D

My name is probably popping up as you're typing Bak instead of Bax for @Baxteen

Anyway, no harm done. I was just letting you know that you tagged the wrong member.
 
Fully agree no point in fighting.

I got this profile pic from the late great Fanie.dry on Mybroadband forum around 2013 or so. he could have stolen it from this baksteen as well for all I know. or they could have found it in the same place.

but I have been Baxteen spelled the same way since 2002 when I got the nickname at school. I even had a neopets account with this spelling. even my gmail contains it and that has been going since 2007 I think.

but I am wiht an X because it was cool before Elon ruined it.
 
Thanks for the suggestions! I appreciate the ideas for venues near BLCK in Benoni, but I'm aiming to keep the event in the Northern suburbs. The East Rand already has its fair share of vape meets, and I want to offer something for the folks up north. Plus, BLCK did an amazing job sponsoring flavours for our last event, so I want to ensure we keep things accessible for everyone up here.

Despite some attendees not bringing any concentrates, base liquids, or even bottles, everyone walked away with a bottle of juice they mixed themselves at our last event. This shows we can handle supply efficiently, even if we're not right next to a store. As long as people don't take advantage of the kindness of others, we should be good. It is a BYOG event, so you are expected to have everything you need, but I also understand that some people have never mixed before and don't want to buy a bunch of stuff when they are not sure if they are going to use it.

I think it’s important to find a spot that’s not only convenient but also adds to the fun and camaraderie of the event. Let’s look for venues around the Northern suburbs that can accommodate us. Maybe another local pub or grill that’s vape-friendly and has a great atmosphere. I am thinking of maybe checking with a Vape King near the last venue.

If anyone has more suggestions for venues in the Northern suburbs or feedback on the dates (21, 24, or 28 September), please drop them here. I'm excited to make this event even better than the last one!
