Can butterfly farts conflict with one another?

I absolutely love this thread's level of geekery. I have nothing to add, no advice to give. I just hope this thread continues on its current path.

Have you personally had any experience with going too high or too low with the acidity or a juice?

Sure

What effects would be prevalent in a juice with too high of a pH and what ingredients can potentially lower the pH if need be?

It's lowered with citric acid or malic acid, basically some type of acid and hopefully an edible one. If it "pops" with some acid, it could be the pH was too high or it could be the acid helped transfer the flavorings to the taste receptors, or the flavor needed that acid to meld well. The base to acid thing is just a theory because testing pH of juice is an extremely difficult thing because of the lack of water.

How many butterfly farts do you typically add to any given recipe and have you made any personal notes as to how many or what % would be considered too much?

As many as it needs and if it doesn't help or makes it worse, then it's too much.


I just go for what tastes good. I try all kinds of stuff looking for that perfect flavor. I make plenty of experiments that should but don't taste good to find the one that shouldn't but does. Luckily I have a number of fellow vapers who find my missed experiments to be wonderful stuff and they wash the bottles before they return them. After you've mixed long enough you get a feel for things that is really hard to quantify. You'll end up going with those feelings and be at a loss as to how to explain how you got from A to B.

Ok so in a nutshell, yes you can go overboard with the butterfly farts. No, theres not a specific % or amount that is clear cut from flavor to flavor or blend to blend, and no, specific farts don't clash with one another (LJ + ACV =/= clash, for example). The pH concept we refer to when mixing/adding may not be what is actually happening on a molecular level. And most importantly, constant experimenting is key.

Sounds like you got it!
