Capella's Accidental Flavor - Need Math help

[crxess]

Yep, sounds Silly.

Being new and having little time, this is taking forever. Still, I am trying to get the hang rather than just copying.
I made several single flavors to taste(vape) Test a few weeks ago, all at 5% in 3ml 50/50 blend
All kind of bland/weak alone.

Took the Strawberry Sweet and Vanilla Custard and mixed
Strawberry 20 drops
Custard 10 drops
This is from finished mixes. I have to say, combined, I like this mix. Light on the Strawberry but nice and creamy.

Am I right in assuming I'm at about:
6.5% Strawberry Sweet
3.5 Vanilla Custard

Thinking it this is right I may try a mix @
7% Strawberry
3% Custard

Capella recommends 15-20%

BTW

Capella is forgiving you can go over if you want.

Never mind. Misread. Lol.

Sorry, but no.

Your new mixture of Strawberry & Vanilla Custard is still only at 5% total flavoring, not 10%.

Strawberry would be 3 1/3% or round to 3.33%
Vanilla Custard would be 1 2/3% or round to 1.67%

buy a Syringe!!!

And get some clear Nail Polish so the numbers don't fade!!!!

You can stick the syringe into the capella bottle a draw it straight into the syringe. I think 7% and 3%, should be a nice start. Give it a go and see what you think. It maybe a light on the light side but it maybe just right for you.

I agree with granny, you've got ~67% of the mix made of 5% strawberry. And ~33% of the 5% custard. The higher percentages would probably be good too, since you said the flavor was light, but it wouldn't be the same as your test.

Thanks, makes since. Don't know why my mind was stuck on 10% but that's why I posted.
I do believe the 7% / 3% will work and make for a nice more flavorful balance. I can mix it at 5ml and if to strong it can be thinned out.

Have syringes / scotch tape - these were test left over test liquids @ 5% that were combined later -AND GOOD

I've tried the clear nail polish and though it worked for a little bit, it ended up flaking off. Is that normal?

 

[glassmanoak]

That has happened to me on 1% of my syringes. I removed a few flakes of polish and covered it up with tape. I assume that there was something on the syringe when the polish was applied.
(I have a VERY nice partner who does this for me and I'm VERY appreciative too!)

Syringes are dirt chepa at the feed store (local co-op or Tractor Supply type store) Yes intended for veterinary use but, still they have all the sizes and, they are sterile so, I use them, just grab a new one when the numbers fade.

I spray mine with clear spray paint. It's fast to do a batch, two thin coats. It seems to stick well. I have had nail polish peel off as well, though not often. Paint doesn't like to stick to plastic.

It is normal for regular nail polish. What I used (since I already had the setup) is UV Gel Polish. You need a UV lamp to cure it, but once you paint it on, then cure it under the lamp, it will NEVER come off! Just be sure to clean the syringe off with alcohol before and after you polish it.
