Welcome to the forum @The vaper
Congrats on the 3 months! Great achievement

Don't worry there are lots of helpful and experienced vapers here to help you. Just ask questions as you go along and I am sure you will find answers and help to improve your vape experience

All the best
 
Battle with what?
I'm still new at the diy e liquid
The e liquid doesn't taste right I steep it in my fridge but went to vaperite and told me to take it out
And then is there any other websites besides ELR where I can get recipes
Thanks

Have a look here @The vaper :
https://www.ecigssa.co.za/forums/e-Liquid-recipes/
(Here on ECIGSSA)

There are several threads with recipes for each flavour profile.
Members have contributed recipes that they have tried - so you might find a few gems there

PS - Steeping should not be done in the fridge. Just in a dark cupboard. The cold actually slows down the steeping as I understand it.
 
Thanks this is my concentrates I got at this time will have a look at the recipes and maybe have to adjust my flavours

What did you make that didn’t taste right.

I’m sure we can steer you back in the right and tasty direction.

hi Henri, welcome

it's not necessary to keep juice refrigerated although some people do because apparently the refrigeration slows down the steep and they prefer their juice that way

so if you like it in the fridge, keep it in the fridge

ask as many questions as you want, we can help

Follow tried and tested recipes to start and ask questions and more questions and more questions. It’s the best way.

@vicTor is right, start small and simple and go from there.

The unicorn milk is a long steeper. If you kept it in the fridge untill now then it might still be 2 weeks. 4 weeks is the best.

right, well, it's fairly simple

so don't be scared, what have you tried to mix that went wrong ?

I'm not sure if you need the mix to breath because I didn't do it it's a little bit muted
