haha, cool. I usually use the quick reply which doesn't have that feature. So I guess you have to delete the extra if you only want part of the post quoted.
Okay i have 2 successes and one failure since the last update.
SUCCESS 1
upped the AP in my tribecca clone to .1% from .75% results were great.
8% TFA RY4 Double
1.0% AP
20MG 70/30
SUCCESS 2 i will call this strawberry breeze, it was requested by a friend of mine to make this. I used to hate fruit flavors but now i love them! I usually don't measure in drops but i felt the need to with the koolada since i could add drop by drop when tasting. I will recreate what i did and calculate a percentage for you guys later when i get around to it. This is a seriously refreshing strawberry and simple to make.
15% TFA Strawberry
6 drops per 5ml koolada. ( remember all droppers are different i will measure what the six drops was for you guys later)
EPIC FAIL peanut butter cup. found this recipe here somewhere with suggestions to add graham cracker. I didn't have graham cracker so i tried it without it.
9% TFA Milk chocolate
7% LA Peanut butter.
20mg 70/30.
Tasted nothing like chocolate or peanut butter. When i try this again i am going to make a simple chocolate that tastes good by itself and add PB slowly until i get a reasonable flavor. I might then go for another additive maybe EM AP or molassas?
20MG 70/30 again.

yes i am sorry typo. i went from .75 to 1.0 percent. post will be edited thanks!
okay i did some math for my strawberry breeze as to the koolada content.
to eliminate as much variable as possible i took 18 drops from my dropper to get the best average. the 18 drops measured to .375ml. which means the 6 drops is most likely almost exactly .125ml. For the 5ml this equals 2.5%. the coolada is 10% wizard labs solution.
so the recipe is actually,
15% TFA strawberry
2.5% TFA koolada 10% solution)
20mg 70/30
EDIT: it seems after sitting for awhile the koolada has gotten quite a bit kooler. it's now too much for my taste but the girl that wants it smokes those damn newports so i think she'll be happy.
EDIT again. after sitting over night the strawberry has REALLY come out and almost over taken the koolada now. This strawberry gets a really rich flavor. to compensate i upped the koolada to 4.15 percent. will report later when i know how it goes!

That may be to much koolata. You should have deluted the mix to bring the strawberry flavor down. Then maybe compensated by adding just a small touch more koolata to bring it back to 2.5% or less if it was to cool.
When your dealing with flavors the best way to start is just use 1 flavor and get it right this way you know how each flavor taste on it's own. That will give you perspective when ready to combine flavors because you knowing how each individual flavor taste and which may go good together and how much to use of each flavor.

Okay i have not been able to do much posting lately, work has had me tied up. I have however done some experimenting with things so here is an update.
I have got the magnetic stirrer down pat. I got my tiny stir bar in the mail a few days ago and have been very pleased with the results. The bar is so small that it does not create a vortex in the juice, it just mixes it really well. (avoiding unnecessary oxidation) What i have been doing is throwing all liquids in the flask and stirring for about 5 mins before i let it sit out to steep for a bit. I can also since the bar is so light just move the flask around on the top without throwing the magnet, i can get the juice perfectly mixed in about 1 minute this way without all that shaking. I have noticed almost all of my juices come to full flavor in about 3 days using this method. Even the clear ones have turned quite colorful.
EDIT: OOPS ill rotate these properly when im back at home with the PC.
I have fine tuned the strawberry mix.
7.5% strawberry
2.5% koolada
I have made a few basic tobacco mixes for taste testing.
Maxx blend at 5%
flue cured at 7%
handsen cuban at 5%
P type at 5% i think ill have to check my notes when im back at home
All of these flavors seemed to have reached a good color and flavor after 3 days or so using my magnetic stirrer.
I made a simple cracker jacks flavor
10% caramel
1% AP
My roommate loves this one! Everyone here at the ministry keeps asking me, what is the delicious smell, what are they cooking is that for dinner? HAHA!

I like the cracker jacks recipe I think I'll try that myself. Never though to add AP to caramel but that does sound very good. And how did your tobaccos come out?
all of the tobaccos came out really good.
the maxx blend has developed a lighter brown color similar to that of hangsen RY4 premixed. It has developed almost a sweet taste to it but is highly tobaccoish. I am thinking this would be good to make some menthol juices out of for my friend.
the P type is interesting has a very yellow color to it actually looks like Pee lol, dose not have a sweet or sour flavor and the tobacco is something i cannot quite put my finger on, i don't believe it is nut infused either. but i however really do like this flavor quite a bit.
The flue cured turned light brown with a hint of yellow tint. This has a really nice dark tobacco leaf taste that i like a lot. it is like a pipe or cigar not a cig emulation. It is a bit dry though and i am experimenting using it with hazelnut and some EM at the moment. EDIT: i remember thinking when i vaped this that it resembled a roasted tobacco, kind of like a lucky strike!
The hangsen cuban is interesting, actually quite interesting. the flavoring literally smells like cigar tobacco leaves with not much flavor added. maybe a little of something. I tried it fresh and it tasted very similar to a cigar called a cohiba that they sell here in the US which is supposed to emulate cuban cigars. now it was kinda dry but the bottle met an early demise before it sat a few days so i am not sure what this flavor brings to the table yet. I was surprised at its cigarness though. I am thinking maybe a bit of maple or some molassas, or possibly just some good old sweetner would make it really good! This flavor though i have to re-mix and steep. EDIT: This juice has stayed almost completely clear after almost a week of sitting, very very slight tint.
The caramel AP is actually really good and really simple, it's also semi-sweet without any sweeter. Although for some reason AP seems to lose it's taste for me rather quickly. I am wondering if anyone else has this experience? The juice is awesome then big time flavor drop.. I am wondering if the other flavors are just coming out more and i should up the AP some or if i am just experiencing vapors tongue?

Thanks for the updates on the tobaccos. And as far as the AP is concerned. If you think it's your taste buds going wacko just put the mix away for the day and try it again when your taste buds are refreshed. If you still think the AP faded add more. Once you get it back up to level it should stay there. It's not uncommon for AP to fade a day or so after a fresh mix.
This makes a lot of sense, when i first mix it it tastes great then fades. i put the juice down for a day or two and its a little better but still not there, i will be upping the percentages i think a little bit.
I did an experiment because i was bored. i had about half a tank of the maxx blend so i filled the other half up with the cracker jacks juice. It was really good, however both batches were already aged. so if my simple head math is not failing me that makes the recipe,
2.5% maxx blend
5% caramel
.5% AP
i however will up the AP to .75 percent i think. This should be tasty.
I am also going to experiment with this molasses flavoring i have and see what it can do for my tobacco's. I am thinking it has potenttial to do wonders lol. maybe for the cuban or flue cured.
got some menthol crystals today.
i amde a simple menthol juice that was good.
first i made some menthol flavoring using a very basic (i wish i still had a mg scale but i do not0 measuring system. i powderized them and mixed 1/4tsp with 10ml PG. my stir bar is small enough to fit into a 20ml dropper bottle so i threw the crystals and PG with stir bar into the bottle. i just simply laid the bottle on its side onto the stirrer, and had completely dissolved the crystals into the solution in about 3-5mins.
the juice i made which is pretty good is,
3% cuban flavor
6% of my menthol flavoring
2% koolada
My newport smoking boss said it was very good to him.
I made a good mt dew juice today that my mountain dew addicted boss also loved.
20% mt dew TFA flavoring concentrate
1% TFA sweetner.
i swear it smells just like the real thing, it is also OBVIOUSLY mountain dew flavor while vaping. I was not expecting results like this at all to be honest.
