I am just curious...I always taste my liquid during mixing and during steeping putting tiny drop on my finger...And actually I do it with all my new flavorings also (one drop of flavoring mixed with 1ml pure water). What tastes bad usually vapes equally nasty, what is weak in water is weak in PG/VG also. What is your way to test flavors otherwise than dripping?
Do you TASTE your DIY liquid (specially with new recipes) during mixing?

I just go by smell.
I cook that way too.
Sister-In-Law called me one day and asked me how long to cook corn on the cob and couldn't figure out what I meant when I said, "Till it smells done." My further explaination of, "Until it smells like corn.", did nothing to make our relationship better.

Same here on the sniffer test. If it smells good, it tastes good. Always works out okay. If I want to taste it I try some on the pv. If juice doesn't smell so good, I taste, then add accordingly.
I have never tried the water test. Seems it would dilute it too much to know what was going on, at least for my tastebuds.

Good story!
I can smell too, but my nose is not that good to say, what is missing. I can only tell, when it's yakk. My mother was chef, but sadly her profession did not passed with genes.
I can't imagine actually tasting the liquid. The few times I have accidentally tasted juice- like from an overfilled carto- blech!
I'm still new to this, but it's the drip vape test for me. Maybe with practice my sniffer will get better at detecting perfection.
Hoosier, I bet ya don't measure when cooking either. About that much, until it looks right... that's my measuring units.
(For cooking, not for juicing.)

Uh, yeah, and that confuses the blazes out of my wife as we are very different people. I made this lasagua from stuff I could find, sub'ed out the noodles for the amazing turkey bacon because I seldom have noodles, etc, and the family is eating it when the wife turns to me and says, "You have to tell me how you made this. It's amazing and I want it again." That was when I knew I was in trouble because I couldn't recall what I did.
Unlike juice mixing, I was able to recreate it the next week while she scribbled the process down. I named it Bac-zagua and it is still one of my more requested dishes. Not everything from cooking translates to juice mixing. The recipe card she made then had things like, "little pinch", "palm sprinkle" which she then converted into measurments by trial and error for her recipe file. (Obviously she is the neat and organized one of us two, but has given up trying to keep up with what I'm doing if I have my wok out...)
