Flavor percentages

[MikeTay9779]

I have read about flavor percentages for DIY, but they have been percentages for a one flavor only e-juice. For example, 10% of X flavoring mixed with base of PG/VG/Nic. What I was wondering if there was a way to know (without wasting valuable supplies) how to mix several flavors together. For example 2% of X flavor goes with 5% of another in a mix when they are much higher as a standalone flavor.

You should understand that flavors from different manufacturers are different. You CANNOT substitute one brand for another and get the same flavor the recipe calls for. My sink drain knows a lot of my creations.

Good luck in your journey.

The recipe is the guide line. It is like cooking food. I taste it and if I want more of any flavor I add it and let them steep for 1 week then I taste again if there is any lack of flavor as my like.

Taste is subjective what I like you may not

Thank you all. Amending my original post, I was wondering how to know how to come up with say 2% of this mixed with 5% of this will be good. I have been trying to make a sweet hazelnut coffee and can't come up with good percentages even after steeping. Straight hazelnut (TFA) is at like 12% and I don't have a good coffee (Simply Organic) percentage, but you don't want to use the straight flavor percentages in mixes as I understand from reading.

12% hazelnut if probably way too much. Try lowering that to say half then you'll have to try different coffees at different %s until you find what you like. That's what we all have to do, since taste is so subjective. If you make a 5 or - 10 ml tester size, then you won't be wasting much at all, pennies. Takes time to figure out, but once you do, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Try a very small .5*1% on the coffee to start then add to adjust to your liking. Have fun, and let us know what you come up with. Hope this helps a little.

I dunno if this is the popular opinion, but I often go by smell, when mixing new combinations.
