Bubble Gum and Cotton Candy might be good for a cotton candy bubble gum flavor.
I am not too sure of the others mixed.I was going to suggest peaches and cream but i don't think cotton candy would make a good cream flavor.
Cinnamon peaches though,that sounds good??

Who makes the flavors? I like pear and cinnamon. I guess peach and cinnamon might be ok. Bubblegum and peach sounds interesting. Chocolate, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, and Peach should be good standalone. Like they say though, taste is subjective.

Cotton candy can be used as a sweetner as well

The cinnamon is strong as hell. Use maybe 1% or less to whatever your mixing. I did a Cinnamon/Peach and while it was good at 2% Cin, it was still too strong.

I would do 8% bubblegum and 10% to 12% Peach. I havent tried peach but Im a bubblegum freak. I use this ratio with Strawberry, Watermelon and Apple. The TFA bubblegum (juicey fruit) is a pretty good stand alone at 10 to 12 %

Is it circus (blue) cotton candy or regular cotton candy ? regular cotton candy is the same as ethyl Malto...its kind of a sweetner if Im remembering corectly. If Im wrong, someone will correct me in about tem minutes... ( love these forums)

Couple of things.
I made a 3ml batch of bubble gum Peach as mentioned above.
First thing. I used the measurements from 2 calculators. My 3ml canister that I got from wizard labs. Didn't fill up but a little over half approx 2ml.

Second thing what measuring tools do yall uses for flavors, pg, vg, nic?

3rd if I try anything less than 85/15 on pg/vg. The calculator gives me error about can't have -pg. How do I do this.
My nic is 18mg 100% pg

Forth. How do you know what the flavorings pg/vg are?

5th. I cant taste the flavors in this mix.

Thanks

2ml is quite small, and allows much greater risk of over/under adding of ingredients. 10ml is easier to calculate, in my opinion.
I went out at first and bought all kinds of beakers and graduated cylinders etc. Now the only things I use out of all that is the syringes and graduated cylinders. I have a premade 50/50 mix of vg/pg I use to top off with after i measure out flavoring etc in a 10ml graduated cylinder. My nic is 100mg pg base. So if my flavoring is 10%(1ml) and my nic is 1.8ml(gives me 18mg) which gives me about 54%pg and 36%vg. I don't take into consideration pg or vg in the flavorings. I used the TFA peach at 8% and it gave me a good flavor after steeping-not at first though- it was weak at first. Capella's peaches and cream was good right away at around 14-15%. Try giving the bottle a warm bath, there are people who have posted here about it plenty. Otherwise, I would scrap your method and go for a more precise one. Starting out with a no nicotine batch is less costly if there is an error and you do have to scrap it also. But a bad batch can usually can be fixed by adding pg/vg solution or more flavor. So, either u have too much flavor, not enough flavor, or it hasn't steeped long enough. There are many more here with more experience than I, but that is my suggestion. Also, starting out with single flavor recipes first may help. You can always get peach to where u like it and bubblegum to where you like it, and then simply mix the two together. Hope I helped.

When I started diy I did as suggested and mixed single flavor recipes. For the most part I was disappointed with this. I then started mixing multi-flavored juices and I haven't looked back. I can't tell you that you should skip the single flavor mixes as that is definitely part of the learning curve. What I can say is that you are going to need a lot more flavors if you are really going to jump in with both feet. I think I have over 100 bottles myself and am always looking to find more. Yes - I am addicted to vaping on all levels. Check these out to get an idea of what flavors are used all the time in mixes: ie. vanilla custard, sweet cream, etc. E-Liquid Recipes | DIY E-Juice | e cig Liquids diyRecipeBook. There are more sites than these out there for recipes. In regards to measuring tools I use syringes exclusively. I have 1ml, 3ml, 5ml and 10ml. I do as others have mentioned and do not always put nicotine, which is expensive, in test batches. I usually make a 5ml test batch so I have enough to mess around with. I am not particularly fond of steeping as I have had more flavors I like immediately which lose flavor after steeping. And lastly - HAVE FUN

Using 18mg/ml as your base may be too low.

To make a liquid with a target of 15mg, 83% of the bottle will be your nic base, so your PG% can't be any lower than that.

And most flavors are PG based. Adding 10% flavoring now ups your PG% to 93%.

You don't say what target pg/vg you are aiming for, but any numbers you choose lower than the total nic and flavors will end up giving you negative PG numbers.

And if 83% of your bottle is nic, that only leaves 17% total flavoring, which in many cases, especially if you are using multiple flavors, may be too low. And doesn't allow for adding any VG at all.

What did you have in mind when you ordered them?

welcome to the world of DIY , i agree with most here i only use 1ml and 10ml syringes and sometimes a 5ml ,if your gonna start slow ( im guessing by how few flavors you bought) start with single mixes and maybe 2 flavor mixes reason i say that you dont even know if you like the flavors , peach from one will be different from another so i suggest if you do cinnamon peach mix the peach 1st and try it , if you do not like the flavor you may need to go up or down on strength but get it right 1st b4 you add the cinnamon or just do the cinnamon as a stand alone if after getting it right you can always put them together , for i have tried several cherry flavs and have yet to find one that i like so if i made cinnamon cherry i would not know if it was the cinnamon sucked or the cherry and after steeping for 2 weeks i still would not know, there is alot to learn i think even after my first year of diy i consider myself on page 2 of a very thick book but its fun and i enjoy it soon you too will have 75 -100 flavors and will sit in your room thinking what am i gonna make next

Now I'm really starting to understand better. Maybe I'll use thid 18mg nic base for my wifes liquids. And I'll get me some stronger stuff.
I'll play around with the calculator and see what I can use this base for.
