Building My Flavors...Need Advice

[froginblender]

Ecigvape.com...as far as I know, it's just a site for calculating with many different variables. I think I know what you're talking about. The place that has you're own flavor stash and it gives you recipes you can make from your stash. I still have a lot of flavors to add to that one but look forward to seeing what it puts together for me.

My thought is "It's worth taking the time to learn" it just may save your life. This is what makes me find the time to do this.

Amen. Plus with politicians and the tobacco lobby smelling blood in the water, it might be our only option in the future.

So...I've been looking at recipes and reading threads...I want to have the basics on hand for recipes that sounds good. I have TFA Cheesecake, HA Turkish, TFA Kettle Corn, TFA Caramel Candy, TFA Sour, TFA Coconut, TFA Hazelnut, HA Italian Cream, TFA Vanilla Swirl, FJ Honey Peach.

I also have FW Lemonade, FW Strawberry, FW Watermelon, FW Pina Colada, FW Cheesecake, and sweetener from Mt Baker (but unless I can figure out how to work some serious magic with my FW flavors, I'll be getting rid of them)

I'm getting ready to put in an order for FA Strawberry, Signature Watermelon, FA Fuji Apple, FA Lime Tahiti, FA Lemon Sicily, FA Coffee Espresso, Capella Raspberry, FA White Peach, Signature Double Chocolate, FA Marshmallow, FA Bavarian Cream, and FA Magic Mask.

Am I going overboard? Are there any flavors used for sweetening that I am being redundant with, like not needing Bavarian Cream cuz I already have Italian Cream or Marshmallow.....?

All I can say is that he/she who dies with the most flavors wins!

Seriously though, if you buy too many flavors like me, chances are you'd be throwing some out when they expire in 2 to 3 years since there is no likely way I'll/you'll be able to use ALL of them up by that time.

On the other hand, I have sooo many flavors I can make just about every recipe I see that sounds good to me which are mostly desserts.

I have many flavors that are the same flavor but by different manufacturers because experience (8 months or so) has shown me that the same flavor can taste drastically different and I want to have the flexibility to alternate.

Have fun and good luck.

Hang in there. If all else fails, you always have the option of mixing up some unflavored juice. Better quality nicotine than a camel, as strong or weak as you like, and it won't take you a couple of days to get the foul cigarette taste out of your mouth and clothes!

I won't keep bombing you with info, but Bill (BillsMagicVapor) has made a few blog posts specifically about flavor percentages. These two specifically that should give you a head start:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...t-juice-average-flavoring-percentages-me.html
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ime-try-high-flavor-percentages-time-mix.html

The second has a rough explanation of Bill's 100 drip test - it's a quick and easy way to make a test sample, perfect for dialing in flavors without using/wasting too much of anything. Just a thought - do you have any preference between PG and VG? That can have a large impact on getting to a satisfying vape.

I will check those out but right now I have 24hrs to complete 10 assignments. I'm mixing at 50/50 18mgs. I've tried 60/40 PG/VG and vise versa...I did not like the higher PG ratio.

You and I just might be running neck to neck on that blue ribbon. I'll have 3 peaches in a couple days. I have 2 cheesecakes and there's a couple more I want to try. There's another apple I want and I intend to order every mango available until I find the one I tried that someone else had.

Unfortunately, I get seriously obsessive with new things that I discover I like...you wouldn't believe the amount of polymer clay I have. Sterling silver wire, bone beads, exotic feathers, findings and tools for making jewelry...then there's all the goats hide and paint for medicine bags....lol (you can find finished products on Facebook Hawk Whispers page. This isn't a sales plug...my current activities don't allow time for these hobbies

Thank you! I'll watch it all later...I watched up to the syringes and then skipped ahead to the spinner, in search of your steeping advice (I'm actually supposed to be working on assignments that are due Saturday morning...lol). So I may have more questions for you later but, for now, I'm really curious...How much does that magnet spinner cost?

 

[froginblender]

that replaces steeping by visciously mixing up the juice as opposed to sitting in drawer and you taking it out twice
a day to shake it hard for 30 seconds...lol....how boring no?
- Steeping is usually letting it sit....perhaps warm bath for a bit in sink.
Me i warm ejuice in beaker in sink..for 3 min. then put it on stir plate for 1hr. that does the trick for me.
Or if i'm impatient, i'll throw it in microwave for 3 seconds....hehe.

Magnetic stir plate was $42 bucks with stir magnet on ebay...

I am always buying new flavors... I just buy small "sample" sizes and if there something I like then I re-order in larger quantities... I really like going to Wizard Labs because they have 8ml bottles for 1.49... They carry flavors from Cappella, LorAnn, Seedman, and TFA... I have ordered from them a number of times and they are fast with processing/shipping and there packaging is great...

I am picking up a magnetic mixer my next paycheck... Mainly because I dont have the patience to let juices steep for a week or more lol

Good luck to you
