New to DIY, have some question

[albe]

Hi, i have a few question im new to diy. so far i bought everything you need to make the juice. How should i taste all my flavors? (bought 40+ flavor from TFA) to see which one i like or don't. ? will it be better to work with 5ml or 10ml batches first? should i make batches of 5% 10% 15% 20% of EACH flavors to see if i like it better?

Thanks

Genuine Joye 510 1.5 Ohm LR electronic cigarette 10-pack of NON-COATED stainless atomizers these are good for testing your juice.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/336110-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread.html has a lot of info on TFA flavor %'s

One of the nice things about DIY is...You Can do Anything you Like!

Me? I would take a peak at a fine resource such as.....

Flavor Percentage Recommendations

...for a start and then adjust the amount of flavor to my personal preferences.

40 flavors is a boat load, I love it, you're all in! I personally make a test batch of my new flavors at 15% alone. That way I get an idea of what the flavor is by itself before I try combining. 40 is a lot of test batches. Lol. Good luck and start out with the ones your really excited about!

ive used a few TFA and most flavs are on the high % range but everybodys taste is different i might start with 10% and go from there and tasting a small drop on my finger before vaping will also help me whether to go up or down or add sweetner or any other tweeks

When mixing different flavors together do you guys use different Syringes for each flavor?

Hi Albe and welcome to DIY!!! I did the same thing you did and ordered a lot of different flavorings when I first started. I started out making small 5ml batches of each flavor on it's own at 10%. It's necessary to give you an idea of what each flavor can bring to the table, but when dealing with that many flavors, it gets boring as hell pretty quick. I ended up scrolling through the forums and making some recipes that were posted here that I thought I may like, and then tweaked them to my taste. I have flavors that I've had for months and still haven't tried, but each time I make juice I make it a point to make a couple of single flavoring test batches while I'm making recipes. It kind of breaks up the monotony of taste testing single flavors and gives you some good juice to vape to keep you motivated

I will just add - take lots and lots of notes! You will refer to said notes many times in the future. If you make a wonderful flavor/percentage, you will want to know how to make it again. Grab a notebook and keep it handy with your mixing stuff. And have fun!

can someone answer my question about the Syringes part?

Thanks

Nope - just keep a glass of water by you and clean the syringe by sucking and squirting water out of it 3 or 4 times - at least that's what I do.

I picked up a box of 100ea 1ml syringes at walmart cost about $12 and yes I use a different one for each flavor. A lot just rinse after use and then move on to the next flavor.

I also use a different syringe for each flavor. If I'm making a mix that uses six flavors, I use 7 syringes. One for each flavor, and one for my premixed PG/VG/NIC base. Once done, I'll rinse all the syringes in warm water and allow to dry then reuse for my next mix
