Input on starting percentages for my recently acquired flavors

[DigiManTX]

i mix at 70/30 pg/vg... possibly even 60/40... i'd just like to waste as little as possible...

single flavor % or mix and match (up to you), i would just like a baseline.

i like my flavors as strong as possible without "perfuminess". steep time doesn't matter (it would be helpful if you mentioned your method as well).

my steeping method is so:

mix, drop bottle in almost boiling water (cap off), 10 mins shake til my arm almost falls off, drop back in water (cap still off) until water reaches room temp, place in closet (cap still off) for a full 24hrs... lose my mind waiting to try it, then after 24hrs, test... cap back on, and leave it another 24hrs... rinse lather repeat until 5-7 days...

flavors are:

TPA/TFA:

Apple Candy
Blueberry Candy
Juicy Peach
Raspberry (sweet)
Pineapple
Bavarian Cream
Strawberries and Cream
Sour
Peach
Mango

Lorann:

Watermelon

Flavor West:

Pomegranate
Sugar Cookie
Vanilla Cupcake

Currently have 3 5ml batches steeping:

Water Melon (1 @ 15% and 1 @ 17%)
Blue Raspberry (10% Blueberry Candy 5% Sweet Raspberry)

all 3 have 2 drops of LJ and 2 drops of sucrolose each

Any input?

Theres a thread below, "want some good diy tips", and str8vaping gives a great method for flavor testing.
Also a ton of other good info in there.

I'm really digging 8% mango with 2% pineapple. TPA pineapple is wicked strong, i don't know that i would go 5% o on it.

I was actually thinking about getting mango, pineapple, and cream.

Was going to call it Mangle Whip.

Flavoring is subjective. But I too have been guilty to find a baseline for a flavor without making a test myself.
You can find several TPA flavors here:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/336110-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread-8.html

I only have personal exp with 1 of the flavors in your list. Juicy peach is good at 15%

Also use the forum search you can often find reviews that way as well.

Flavor West actually recommends their flavorings to start @ 25%. When I read that I thought it was a misprint, but they are pretty weak.
