The evolution of my taste intrigues me. I started out vaping nothing but fruit flavors, with a chocolatey candy flavor thrown in here or there for good measure. I quickly found the latter to be pretty unappealing for all-day vaping. I mean, they are good for brief treats, but that is it. I found myself wanting something not quite so sweet, and started playing with my cappuccino flavoring. I finally came up with a not-too-bitter all-day cappuccino vape. I have been vaping that liquid for the last week. I finally drained the last of my 10 ml bottle tonight and figured it was time to mix another bottle.
I get bored quickly, so I can't vape just one flavor for a long period of time. I don't know why, but my tastebuds don't like it much. I need a definite variety. While mixing my cappuccino (which I am still not tired of), my eyes fell on my DIY flavor drawer and I started thinking about mixing a couple of experiments. The stuff I mix now is normally a 3 ml tester, and I DO add nic, just in case it is a flavor that appeals and demands a thorough test. So I tried mixing an attempt at copying a favorite pre-made juice. The smell was a bit chemical, so that juice is sitting in the cabinet uncapped for the next 24 to 48 hours. The second I mixed did not stand a chance at sitting. It smelled too good.
So where does my faulty math come in? Well, I finally got up the gumption to mix a coconut juice. I mixed the flavor itself at an odd ratio, though. When I filled a cartridge with the juice, I realized the atty was giving it an off flavor, but I liked the overtones, so decided to dedicate an e2 to the experiment. Tropical heaven in a cartomizer!
I used 8 parts of coconut to 1 part of lemon at a 15% strength, and it has such a light, easy-going feel to it, I have not been able to put down the carto yet! This is a definite all-day vape, if I bring the flavor percentage down just a tiny notch.
I tried hard to figure out an easy ratio for a 10 ml bottle of this flavor from the original 3 ml, but the 'point' this and 'point' that have me really squirming. I found the easiest solution to that predicament is to premix flavors at the ratio I am using. Therefore, I usually take a 3 ml bottle, mark it, and then mix pure flavor at the appropriate amount in it, and then sock it away in my DIY flavor drawer That way, I can easily remix without the painstaking step of actually measuring out the juice. It's a time saver to be sure. So now when I do the math for a flavor, it is usually in drops that can easily be multiplied. Then I just add the premixed flavor at the appropriate strength for the bottle I am mixing. Easy-peasy-puddin-pie.
DIY is so much easier, faster, and more enjoyable when shortcuts are found, dontcha think?
