How much flavoring can there be used?

[JonasDK]

Hi guys.

I've been browsing some recipe-sites lately, and I've noticed that in allot of recipes there is being used allot of flavouring. 20% and more.
I have never used more than 10%, so I was wondering what the limit is, for how much flavouring you can use.

Some of my recipes go above 30% total flavoring.

With a 50/50 PG/Vg mix plus 18mg nic, 30% flavouring in PG is about the limit.

As an analog user for 50 plus years, my sense of taste is shot and I need strong flavours.

Most of my flavourings run at about 30% of the Total Mix.

My highest is 18%, most of mine are lower than that.

I personally would not ever go above 20%, it's why I started DIYing in the first place.

Usually I use about 10%

Hi Jonas!

I personally use between 20-30% in my juices. You can overload - blogs by Hoosier talk about the "phases" of flavoring, from too little to too much. I follow the TFA thread, and based on a lot of suggestions there, I can get great mixes (still for much cheaper than purchased juices) that I don't have to steep for any significant amount of time.

Other flavor bases may not need the same levels of flavoring, such as LorAnn, FlavourArt, or Capella (or they might need more) compared to the TFA bases. I can get a 4 oz. (120 mL) bottle of flavoring (TFA) for about the same price I pay for a 10mL bottle of juice from my local B&M. Even at 20% flavoring, I'm still way ahead of store-bought.

That you enjoy the juices you make is all that matters.

I run the whole spectrum from 3% to 30% depending on the nature of the flavoring and the manufacturer. I try to avoid Alcohol based flavors that require more than 5%, but that's my personal opinion, and is subject to change as I gain experience.
I guess as long as my nicotine stays the same and my VG stays at around 50%(my personal preference) then I should be alright.

 

[Hoosier]

My recipes go from 0.35% to 35% and everything in-between.

The limit is determined by taste.

 

[Wruff]

I tend to stick around 10-15%.

 

[thebaum]

i usually use about 30-35% with my blends.

I usually use from 3% to 14%. Taste is subjective. I have seen people use very little to about 35%. Don't know how a 50% would taste, do not want to find out either. Listen to those taste buds. They will love you for ever.......
