New to DIY. Could use some ideas

[twills14092]

Been vaping for about a month and decided to start DIY juices. I am having some trouble making tasty juices. I have a tendency to over due the flavors. Maybe if I list my flavoring I can get some receipe ideas.

LA flavors
cherry
lemonade
marshmallow
pomegrante
raspberry
bubblegum

MFS
Blueberry

TFA
blackcherry
circus cotton candy
french vanilla deluxe
graham cracker
honey
orangecream
ripe banana
sweet cream
vanilla cupcake
cheesecake (graham crust)
cappucino
sweetener
whipped cream

Any ideas would be appreciated. I feel very confused with this

Did you have any particular juices in mind when you ordered the flavorings? I'm trying to cut back and only order flavorings that would likely contribute to a particular recipe or juice I like.

I would suggest to try small amounts of single flavors first and try and find one you like. start with small percentages like 3 percent and work up. Shake real good. give them a heat bath for a while then vape. by doing this will give you a good idea on what other flavors might be added to complement the one or ones you like. read the diy forums and you will pick up recipes and ideas. it takes practice and a little time to find some you will like. over flavoring at first is something that happens to every one. hang in there.

this is good advice. narrow down what you like in pre made juice and try and replicate those at first. it will save you time and money.

Totally agree, when I first got into DIY I tried several recipes I found online and in the calculators and for the most part was pretty disappointed. Partly because I didn't give them enough time to steep but also because when you use several flavors together it's much harder to figure out what's not quite right. Like doots said, it's much easier to start with one flavor at a time, figure out what strength you like it at, how long it needs to sit or steep, and then build from there. For example, you may start playing around with the orange cream and once you know how you like it, then layer in some black cherry or whatever suits you.

I taste each flavor I have using a 510 bridgeless drip atty. I make a 1ml batch of each flavor so as not to be wasteful and I make notes on it like how it much it taste as labeled, is it a good stand-alone, additive, sweet, nutty, etc.... With LA and TFA I start at the highest, 10% using the juice me up calculator. If this is too strong you'll know but you won't have wasted anything. But it also gives you the truest flavor of each without steeping first. Usually turns out to be about 2 (0.1ml) drops flavor to 18 (0.9ml)drops of base. Once you get to know your flavors you'll find it easier to put them together in recipes and understand how much of certain one's you'll need. How powerful some are in contrast to others.
