Referring to the flavor percentages, and you mix multiple flavors, do you add the percentages. Example; TFA vanilla cupcake 5 to 20 percent and dark chocolate 7 to 12 would the total bottle flavor be 12 to 33 percent. Doesn't seem right.

Decide the percentage of flavoring you want in your juice, say 20%. List all your flavors at the percent you want them as long as they all add up to 100%, say 25% - 50% - 10% - 15%. Then use the flavoring tool in the ejuicemeup calculator which is a lot quicker than messing with the math. 
PLUS every time you add a flavor, you're adding more PG (most flavors are in a PG base).
What a recipe is indicating is the ultimate percentage of the flavor in the total volume of juice.
That's why you use the calculator!
It adjusts that for you as you go...

I actually am using the calculator, aiming for 12 percent. my flavors are very light, granted its 70 percent vg. So should I be bumping this up to say 16 percent? All tfa flavors.
No, if you mixed them as single flavoring solutions and mixed them together the total flavoring percentage does not shoot up.
Imagine a 20% flavoring of vanilla cupcake and a 20% flavoring of dark chocolate, mix it 50/50 and total flavoring is still 20%. (Note 50/50, and flavoring %'s are just for example purposes and have no use in actually making a chocolate cupcake.) If you had a 20% vanilla cupcake and a 10% dark chocolate mixed 50/50 your total flavoring would be 15%. (Same note as before, these are examples, not recipes.)
Arrrgh let me take a shot at clarifying this one...not that anyone answering your question is wrong, because they're all correct answers...
"However...cough"...This question can be interpreted a couple different ways, depending on what exactly the people helping you think you're asking.
If you're asking about total flavor percentage in the recipe ???
If for example your recipe calls for 5% flavor A, and 5% flavor B then the answer to your question would be yes the total of flavors in the e-juice recipe is 10%.
Now, If you're asking about making a pre-mixed "A&B" flavoring ???
If you're making up a mixed flavoring to use for making the same recipe then you'd be mixing 50% flavor A and 50% flavor B together to make your new flavor.
So now you can make the exact same SAME e-juice recipe using your new "A&B" flavoring concentrate at 10% of the ejuice recipe total.
btw...obviously nobody makes their own "premixed" flavorings unless they're absolutely sure they're going to be repeatedly making their favorite "A&B" ejuice recipe.
