So I have been vaping for about 2 months now and finally ive been able to quit smoking. About a week after I started vaping I jumped in to DIY. Ive made a few of my own flavours. I dont like the flavour to be too strong. Usually I keep it in the 5% ratio and I only use VG as the base. I also use 26ga Kanthal A1 for my coils.
