I find that using unflavored or similar-base flavors work better than trying to mix a flavoring with pre-flavored juice. This way, you can control the boldness of the flavor. Mixing chocolate with a premade strawberry may taste good... but if you cut the juice, you are also cutting the flavor. Having some strawberry flavoring to bump the taste back up is a good thing I've been using TW's Chocolate because the US site ran out of Unflavored. After adding glycerine and whatever flavor I was mixing in, I found that I needed to add a bit of Lorann's chocolate in just to get the taste back.

While technically savvy, I've not messed around with video much. Maybe I'll look into it... I'll have to get a lab coat, and go the whole "mad scientist" approach. A few beakers with dry ice in them for effect, an Einstein type wig... Dr. Jekyll meets Rachael Ray.

I've shied away from doing reviews of available juices, because that seems pretty well covered. A home 'cooking' show? Sounds like it has possibilities. Thanks for spending my next $1000

The latest:

Strawberry Bon-Bon

35% Glycerine
35% Totally Wicked 36mg Chocolate (or unflavored)
10% Lorann's Strawberry
10% Lorann's Bavarian Creme
10% Lorann's Chocolate
a touch of Lorann's Mint Chocolate Chip

Adjust the flavoring/e-juice to suit your taste/jones.

I was going to try making a coffee blend out of this, but ran out of my Keoke Coffee flavoring. Got a bottle of e-smokeytreat's coffee on order.

Question on the lorann's.
How far will one of those tiny dram size flavors go? I purchased a couple but of the bigger size (1ounce I thing) but if the tiny size will go far enough to make a day or so worth of juice, then I'd get those to find the one that is PERFECT!

A few days, depending on how many recipes/attempts at getting it right you try. They are good for trying a new flavor, but if I like it I almost immediately order a larger bottle. Some perspective: A dram costs $1.49 direct from Lorann's. The 4 oz bottles cost $13 (some, like Bavarian Creme, cost more). There are 8 drams in a fluid ounce. Therefore, the $13 bottle contains the equivalent of 32 of the dram size... $13 or $47.68?

I'd say (on average) 1ml flavour makes about 6ml of nice vapable liquid,
so at 2ml per day vaped (MMG),
each 4ml bottle flavour (approx) would make 1 to 2 weeks worth of flavoured liquid.

True... I wasn't looking at it from a 'amount vaped' perspective, but from a 'how long until I have to order another bottle so I can keep trying new mixtures' angle.

That said, once I find one I really like... I went through a 3cc bottle last night in 4 hours.
