Nice recipes so far :)

I do have a question. I don't see the percent of base though? I am used to seeing in the format:

90% Nic base
4% Champagne,
6% Fruit

= a total of 100%. If we did 60% + 40%, that takes up the whole 100%, how much base, this way if someone wants to try it out, it can be totally clear.

Thanks

Fruit Champagne
60% FA Champagne
40% fruit (strawberry, raspberry, peach, ect)

I go a bit high on the fruit as I really like the fruit flavors to come through if you want more subtle drop to 80/20

I really don't work with percentages because I just mix for myself. Not sure if that is the case for everyone or not. I just start with whatever size bottle I'm using, pour in the nic and add flavors I think would go well together and keep a tally of the drops until I get it the way I like it :) on that note....

This one happened by accident but it is a yummy accident! :)
Oba Oba Oops
15mls unflavored nic base
45 drops FA Oba Oba
15 drops FA Vanilla Tahity (this was the oops part)
8 drops Sucralose Sweetener (Optional, this is pretty sweet on it's own)

I have been putting the %'s for the flavoring mix only. How strong you want it, or how strong the nic is your choice.

Each DIYer has her or his own preference for the ratio of the flavoring percentage to the total. The flavoring percentage preference can vary from 1% to 30% or more, so the percentage of nicotine liquid, PG, and VG is usually not required in recipes posted.

I believe the poster is saying that the flavor concentrate is 60% flavor A and 40% flavor B. You can then add that mixture to your nic or no-nic base at whatever percentage desired. If for example, you were making a 10ml batch with a 20% flavor strength, the base would constitute 80% of the 10ml (8ml), flavor A 12% of the 10ml (1.2ml) and flavor B 8% of the 10ml (.8ml). The final yield is 100% and the total volume is 10ml. Hope that helps.
