My first DIY liquid

[Jrdot]

Hi again everyone, and thanks in advance because I know I will get some very helpful replies.
I have my supplies and I'm ready to make my first small batch of e-liquid. But I may have made a mistake when ordering as I purchased 6% nic in a PG base. That was my target finished nic level and I was trying to be safe and not use higher concentrations till I was more experienced. Seems that will make my juice a bit weak on nicotine but we will deal with that later.
I have VG and PG the 6% nic and empty bottles syringes and a assortment of flavors. Got everything but Tasty Puff from RTS Vapes
from Tasty Puff
Nilli Vannila
Lemon Lime Kamakazi
Chick Magnet Cherry
Cotton Mouth Candy
Pimpy Fresh Peach
RastaRootbeer
PowerPlant Pomagranate

From Flavor Apprentice - Grape

Flavor Art - Cocoa

Capella
Double Chocolate
Vanilla Custard
Gingerbread
Pomegranate

I'm looking for some ideas on mixes and how much to add of each component. I've seen the calculators and have a basic idea, but I'm nervous about jumping in and wasting stuff. (I know I will waste a bunch during the coming months but still)
What should my first concoction be? Single flavor or blend? Do I add PG and VG in addition to a 6% PG base nic solution?

As for the flavor % look for the ECF threads for those brands and see what %'s others recommend. It take a lot of homework there, unless the vendor gives a % recommendation.

Of course those familiar with these flavors may chime in…

In my experience Cap flavors can start a little higher; 7% to 15% on some, but there are those that need to go lower.

TFA threads have a big list with all the %

Its recommended to try single flavors first…. to get a good idea of what you are dealing with, before you start with multi flavor recipes…. and then there's steeping.

6% nicotine is pretty strong. That is about 60mg/ml. I would think you would be diluting that down to something less.

Go with single flavoring mixes first. Get a good idea of how the flavors work for you.
