DIY flavor percentages

[Baddog11]

I'm a noob at DIY but i think i have a good understanding of the use of the e-juice calculator. Not having a problem with the nic level or base my main question is with flavor percentages.

I have mostly flavour art flavors and understand that most of them should be mixed at 1-2 %. but how do I configure a recipe of more than one flavor ? Should I mix my flavors as single flavor mixes then add them together later to get a good flavor?

I'm sure this has been asked here before but i couldn't find a post with an answer to this. I know the e-juice calculator has another calculator built in but didn't really seem to find the answer to this on there either.

Which calculator are you using?

I think most people just experiment: a few drops of this, a couple of that.
It's nothing to sweat over.
I use 3 flavour art products for one of my liquids. 12% for the main flavor, 2 % each for the other 2.

I'm using ejuice Me Up. I tried a small batch of a few flavors the other day and set the overall flavor calculator at 15 % which gave me a different set of numbers to put into the calculator. Which set my main flavor at something like 8% which was way to strong and couldn't even taste the other flavors. I was hoping for a little bit better instructions on how to get them closer to what works for other people before I tried again

I don't use that extra calculator.....I just put in what percentage I want for each flavor into the main page. so if the 8% that you got for your main flavor was too strong, drop it to 4 or 5%...or increase the other flavors for a higher total flavor %....there really is no set % for total flavor that works across the board....Some mixes do really well at a total of 8-10% and other combos do better at 15-20% total flavoring. ymmv on total %

Edit: after re-reading what I posted, I hope I didn't confuse you on what I was trying to say

Perhaps Baddog, that you might have misinterpreted some of the box fields in the calculator.
Take a look at the How To page for clarity: eJuice Calc How To

Ok I'll check out those how to pages a little better maybe i missed something. I'm not giving up. I'm sure that with some more work it'll come together.

I think your maybe using the Flavoring Percentage function on the Tool Menu. That is used to convert Recipes that use the 100% method.
If you are creating your own recipe then you do not need to use it. Just enter each flavoring percentage on the main window form.

That may be why I don't use that flavoring calculator..lol.

Yes that's what I used thought that was what I should have used. Guess I should have entered 1 or 2 % for each flavor in main boxes? The main flavor I used was at 8% when using the function tool

One way is to mix eliquids mono flavor first.
Later combine the vapable mono flavored eliquids to taste.
Can be tricky managing multiple flavorings in one batch.

Yea that's what I might do for now till I get the hang of it
