Ok. Mixed up some spicy vapor red apple at 5%, 50/50. Meh. Not exciting as a shake n vape. Mebbe steeping'l help. Not awful but nothin to write home about.
The company now called Provarifuel,were the original and only manufacturer of Provape's e-liquid! Same high quality, lower price, all %, and two of the nicest guys ever. My only supplier for ADV.
I had to go from 50/50 to a lower pg because I was having tummy troubles. I figured it out when I mixed a 30/70 pg/vg mix & the troubles disappeared. Went back to 50/50 because the high vg was gooping up my mouth too much. Gonna yry 40/60 next. Vg is a flavor killer. Pg 8s a flavor carrier. Which leads to your wuestion about flavor chasing. I spent the first year h a half tryingvyo find a variety of flavors I could vapen only yo finally accept that bourbon custards are my main thing. At a year h a half my tastebuds changed one more time, & I found I could suddenly vape fruits whereas I had not been able to before. At all. I can vape single fruity creamy things. Can't do mixed fruits. So now, with diy I can make my own bourbon custard n h strawberry milkshakes, or ice cream. It's been a flavor journey. I like a menthol watermelon or honeydew/ cucumber occasionally, or key limr pie, but usually I stick with the or 3 advs I have. I still buy premixes sometimes to try to expand my flavor range. But not much & not often.

I've been vaping premade since I started, but the exchange rate and the shipping make it an expensive proposition. Tobacconists here sometimes have 3 or 4 basic flavours, no Nic. Not good. So are you just playing with flavours, or is there a recipe site that's pretty good? Must be a collection of menthol recipes somewhere. I can't see myself doing 10 mil testers, I vape at least that much daily, so 30 ml, I think. I'm interested in trying new, maybe vanilla will be good with watermelon and menthol. Or a menthol mint tea Or jasmine tea with menthol. But I'm guessing. There is no ultimate collection of recipes in one place, I take it?

No one place for recipes, and, as I learned, trying to clone premade juice is a losing battle. You get the DIY gear, you get a good juice calculator, you mix up 10 mils of what you think you might like, let it steep, vape it and see what you want to adjust.
Pretty soon you find your two or three all day vapes, then you make a few "dead taste buds" flavors for when your all day goodies don't taste so great.

ECF has a DIY recipe forum with sub forums for different brands of flavorings. Just go there & search for menthol. Tons of recipes there. Do a Google search for eliquid recipes. There are several sitesn some that camvt be mentioned of ECF. Ivm on my pjonr & can't get links.

I'll check out the recipes on here. I've got everything to try the ones Ken put up, thanks. I see the big cloud puffers, but i don't really understand if they are having fun, having a friendly competition or just socialising. Well, whatever floats their boat.
I am going to chase down some tea flavouring, anyone tried a good one?

I vape at 10W +/- with SS coils in TC and power mode.
I've used 28ga SS316L for a couple of years, off and on ... now mostly on since TC has matured. My Pico with a Kayfun V2 likes 2mm coils of 28ga SS316L with Kho Gen Do wicks that are snug in the coil but not too tight. For TC I stretch the coil about an inch while it's on the mandrel to put a separation between the coils for TC mode, then compress it completely with my fingers (while still on the mandrel) to get it almost to compressed state. Doing that gives you slight spacing with compressed coil performance. That little bit of separation lets TC read true resistance change when the coil fires.
You can always swap between TC and power mode with a spaced or slightly stretched coil. The stretched and recompressed coils fire from the center to the outside just like compressed coils.
ETA: I've tried 3mm and 2.5mm SS coils for extended periods before switching to 2mm coils. It's my opinion that flavor is much better on the 2mm coil and vapor is pretty much equal on all sizes if you wick them just right.

Yep that's all I use anymore is spaced coils. I have one 26awg kanthal coil wrapped up but just haven't put it in anything yet. I'm sure it would be a cloud monster. That's what I like about SS is switchability between TC and Power. I've found that the SX's actually taste better in TC with the Max Vg juice and the DNA's better in Power.
