Can't find Bill's Magic Vapor 100 DT for testing flavors Help

[FreeTimeNow]

Searching through Bill's blog and I see references to the test but not a clear explanation of actually how to do it. Can anyone explain it? Thanks

The 100DT or '100 drop test' is simply where you make your recipe in a batch size of 100 drops.

So, if you use 1% peppermint, 1% chocolate, 1% creme, 2% NIC, 48% PG and 47% VG in the recipe...
You would get a small container that can hold more than 100 drops of liquid and substitute the % for drops, e.g.,
1 drop of peppermint flavor
1 drop of chocolate flavor
1 drop of creme flavor
2 drops of NIC (well mixed in advance)
48 drops of PG
47 drops of VG

Then you need to close the container and shake/mix this up very very well. Since the amount of NIC juice being added is so small, it may be best to leave the NIC out completely and add more drops of PG or VG as a substitute.

BTW: 1mL of liquid is said to equate to something between 20-24 drops. 100/20=5mL, but this depends on your dropper etc. You just need to make sure the bottle you are going to put these 100 drops is big enough.

So basically, if you use ejuice me up and set it for qty. =5 mil and 0 nic you can do the 100DT using syringes and percents right? Then if something is off add by the drop the flavor you want to increase. Like if a recipe calls for 20% flavor1(20 drops) and you decide to increase it, you add 2 drops you have increased the percent of that flavor to 22% right? How would you fix it if a flavor was too strong, start the batch over?

You kind of have the right idea... put any volume into the cals you want... all you care about are the %'s...

if you add 2 drops of something to 100 drops... now you have 102 drops, not 100 drops in total... so, instead of your percentage being super easy at 1% per drop... not you have to take all of your numbers and divide by 102 instead of 100 to get the percents. If you are changing the recipe from the start, then yeah... just remove the number of added drops from the PG/VG.

I'll tell you this though... just get a sheet of paper and write down how many drops of everything you put in... and if you make changes, write those additions on the paper after you add the drops but before you taste it... if you find something you like, write that down on the next line... so on and so forth. At the end, you can go through and add up how much of each flavor/etc was in the mix at each point when you wrote down that you liked it or didn't like it whatever... and only worry about figuring out the percentages at that point in time.

If you do add too much of something... there is no great way to fix it. The whole point of only using 100 total drops is so that the batch is small enough, you can afford to waste it. If you really want to try and fix it... I would suggest to add more VG or PG, but it's a slippery slop from there

I keep a few bottles of 'waste' juice. Stuff that I either poured out of tanks because I didn't like it, or mixed up and didn't like, etc. I probably have a couple hundred mL of that right now. All mixed up, it doesn't smell as bad as any of the failures did individually... but I'm not vaping it either. I have joked that I keep it incase someone really hounds me for some free juice... then that's what I'll give them to get them off my back... but in reality, I already supply a few people with their juice... I just don't want to toss it out yet. I could probably add peppermint or some other strong flavor to it in enough quantity to overpower any existing flavors anyway.
