    Sure. I like the reagent bottles for several reasons. First, they are wide mouthed enough to mix juice in (like a beaker). Second, they are wide mouthed and so they aerate better and faster than smaller mouthed bottles because of greater surface area. Third, well-made reagent bottles seal better...

    Thanks Kas. Very helpful. May or may not work okay with the more delicate dessert juices I prefer. Seems like it's a no-brainer for tobacco's, though. I may still try it. Probably all in at about $50, or so. I may pull the trigger. If I do, I'll let ya'll know about it! Good luck! Ciao! :toast...

    Been wanting to make my ADV juice using a cask. For example, this one liter job would be about two months for me: Amazon.com | 1 Liter Beverage Dispenser: Beer Brewing Starter Sets: Carafes & Pitchers Surely, others have done this and can pipe in. I'm sure there are many posts on this subject...

    You are very welcome. I added five more recipes to the list and added a Chocolate Recipes Zip file with 14 of my favorite choco recipes that have seldom, if ever, been seen on this thread. My problem, I must confess, is that I don't always write down my recipes. I've been mixing for a long time...

    I've added a few TFA recipes to the dropbox for use with the EJuiceMeUp Calculator. You can literally download these to your calculator recipe file and they are ready for use on that calculator. This will save you the time of adding them individually. I think I got the TFA ones, for the most...

    I recommend that you store juice in glass and use a plastic bottle for dripping. Works great for me. Plastic leaches into the juice over time, and is particularly difficult with tank cracker flavorings, i.e., much greater leaching. With glass, the dark colored glass is best. I prefer the amber...

    For the record, I do not work for, nor enforce for TFA. I do like their flavorings, for the most part, above other brands for the many reasons that have been discussed on this thread many times. If you are looking for flavor components to create complex mixes, you cannot do better than TFA...

    Not the same flavoring, and you will get ok results, but not the same, as intended results. I would order the regular cotton candy. Good luck! :toast:

    My recipes usually fall between 20 - 30% flavoring. I have one over 30%. When I mix, I start with less flavoring and add flavoring until I find the sweet spot for me. In the case of the Twinkie recipe, I reached that point at 20%. I suggest you try it at 20% and then add flavoring to suit taste...

    Hello MOM!! Welcome back. We missed you too! Mr. Wolf, you might try adding fruits, creams, vanillas and sweeteners to the Sweet and Tart recipe. It's a very good flavoring and has many, many variations that are very popular! Good luck! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    I prefer the Graham Cracker clear. It doesn't gunk as bad as the darker flavoring, and it's easier to read in my syringes. The dark, dark flavorings don't show up very well when I'm trying to mix up a batch. :2c::2c: :toast: :D :2cool::vapor:

    $6.70 (prime) for 30 ml dropper boston rounds is a great price. If they were amber, I might buy a dozen. Nice find! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Great! That lemon is some delicate stuff. It does benefit from lower than normal heat. Too much can hurt the subtle flavorings of that mix. Good luck! :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Those are some of my favorites too! Good luck with that. The Starburst flavorings allow us to make perhaps half a dozen or more different juices by changing the fruits. Twinkies are wonderful and there's something magical about the sweet cream and sweetener combination in that mix. It's very...

    That is a very nice list and a great start. I'm still amazed that I can still be missing juices with 150+ of them in the cupboard, but it does happen occasionally. Learning to combine the right flavors to get great results is daunting at first, but there's so much information on this thread that...

    Can't think of why the heat may have done that. I would look for other causes. Perhaps a chemistry question for ItTechy, though. Puzzler. :toast:
