Hello,
Foreword:
I bought my very first vape about a week ago (Subox Mini starter kit), and the store's policy was that if you crushed up and threw away your cigarettes in the store, you get a free 15mL bottle of juice. Of course I took them up on it (as a full pack here costs around $5 and they are selling eliquid at $12 for 15mL). After burning through the juice, I realized that paying retail could possibly be just as expensive as cigarettes.
My Supply:
Deciding to venture into the DIY eLiquids, I went to LiquidBarn.com and ordered labware and ingredients, including 3 bottles of flavorings. I went with Creme Brulee, Pacific Cooler, and Orange Banana. Only after typing this do I realize how strange some of the possible mixtures will turn out.
My Plan:
LiquidBarn's information page for each extract contains a Suggested Mix Percentage. When I make my first bottle of eliquid of a single flavor, Pacific Cooler for example, I will probably use their recommended mix percentage (unless someone has prior experience with LiquidBarn's extracts and can give me their preferred recipe).
My Question:
If I'm maybe shooting for a Banana Bread Breakfast flavor (Creme Brulee + Orange Banana) or some other combination of the flavorings, what amount of each should I use? In my example, Creme Brulee recommends 6% and Orange Banana recommends 8%. Should I apply them additively (6% CB and 8% OB for a total of 14% flavoring) or do I half each since there are two flavors (3% CB and 4% OB for a total of 7% flavorings)?
