I'd scale it down based on percentages and then you have to make sure you use enough nic base to get the strength you want. If you're wanting to get into DIY there are ejuice calculators out there that will tell you how much PG/VG and nicotine base to add to get the desired ratio and strength, and I'd suggest that if you're a beginner at DIY and/or averse to math.

Found this online. It looks like this is made for big scale operation.

It is called BW Fruitopia
48 g Apple(cap)
64 g Strawberry Ripe
60 g sweetner
28 Juicey peach

500vg
300 vg
200 g

How does one do nicotine for this? It doesn't state on the webpage.

I would correct any typos, move the decimal point two places to the left and give it a go.

Measurements are too high. Too much sweetener percentage. 2 VGs with no weight given. 200g of no ingredient given.
I would figure whoever made that doesn't know what they're doing and move on with life.
Actually the fruit mix itself sounds tasty just too sweet imo. I would leave out the sweetener myself. The sb ripe and peach are already sweet, guessing a drop or two at most would be needed to sweeten.

The flavors sound like a great mix. I just wouldn't worry about anything but Apple, Strawberry and Peach.
That is about my percentage of strawberry (not ripe) to juicy peach.

I might add some honeysuckle.
That's what I mean. When a recipe looks like that I might take some ideas from it but I wouldn't worry trying to cut it down or keep anything about it exact. You'll be starting from scratch anyway.

Will I try adding apple to my strawberry-peach? Probably, if I remember.

I can only remember following a couple of recipes to the letter for a tester when I first started mixing.

I think the closest I came to following recipes was a thread on Caramel Cappuccino saying how little to use. There was a thread on different manufacturers and percentages that I always looked at.

That’s how I do it. I’m pretty confident about how most flavors play together, and I just take the info that’s interesting, like I never thought to pair one with another. I know roughly if I need a 1:3 ratio or 1:2. And that I will always want more sweetener than any other person lol. And I don’t care, they’re my coils, I’ll destroy them if I want to! Lol!

The recipe is incomplete. As far as adding nicotine, it depends on your base and how much nic you want. A juice calculator is often handy for that, and it will allow you to input what your nic base is made of Vg/Pg/mix of the two and will allow you to figure out what final VG/PG percentage is made up of. Depending on the manufacturer, flavors will be PG or VG, but most come in PG, so that's typically taken into account into the mix as well. Percentage of flavoring will be based in PG usually.

I'd agree on reducing the sweetener a bit, and possibly the overall percentage. It has been my experience that underflavoring a bit is far easier than diluting a too strong mix.

Kind of take the recipe as a guide, and then add/remove/diminish what you want/need to. Start small, keep notes, try to fix any failed mixes would be my advice. Honestly. DIY kind of builds on itself, and there's no wrong place to start (other than perhaps, mixing an ideal flavor right out of the gate, and not keeping good enough notes for you to remake it. That's a mistake new DIY flavorers tend to make-- once.)

Best of luck, I hope the mix works out well for you.
