I think she has dropped to about 27% flavoring?
She posted that link yesterday or today I believe. It shows +30%, but adjusting % isn't hard as long as you adjust every flavor a simlar amount.
Just looked. She posted that version of her recipe 2.5 hours ago. So she's adjusted it since then?

Bull City Vapes, ECX, & Wizard. I buy from whoever has the most flavors on my list to justify the shipping.
I usually go to RTS. They keep stuff in-stock, and stock from many suppliers. Silly to go to a bunch of vendors and pay multiple S&H charges. Their small bottles are ten ml, and large are thirty, plus wholesale sizes.

I've bought stuff from Wizard before. Got most of my mixing gear from them. Gonna need a new 50ml graduated cylinder as I dropped the one I had and it broke into a zillion (technical term) pieces.
I have a 100 ml one. It has a plastic protector on the top, so is less likely to break when dropped.

Nope I was either mistaken or she adjusted it back up from weeks ago.

Yes, the % is high, but most premium juices that taste so good have about a 30% total combined flavors.

I'd really like to know and see documentation, as to where you found that info.........most premium juice makers guard their mix recipes like it was Fort Knox........:blink:

How much do you use? I've got a GNC a couple of blocks away.

For fairly sweet 1 drop per 10 ml.

Thanks! I'll try it.

Not happening here. Not using off the shelf groceries to diy, other than lemon juice & vinegar. I get EM & TFA's sweetner, which is sucralose I think. You can also use cotton candy flavoring, which is EM already mixed up.
I prefer Stevia to TFA Sweetener, which is sucralose as Kenna said. But I use 3% to 10% of liquid Stevia. I wouldn't be able to detect any change using 1 drop per 10 ml.

Dancing on the ceiling.. Just playing with a new GIF Editor for Android I downloaded.

Haven't figured out how to lose the black background.
Well if the black background was gone the gif would be invisible.

yeah but the flavoring in my juice is max 5%, 7% on the Cinnamon Danish but it is too strong have to adjust it down.
And on the velocity it is 3% flavor.

DIY Blogs on ECF & VU by Master Mixers make that statement. Most recently on the TFA recipe thread stated by Bill's Magic Vapors. I came across them, I'm sure they are still there. I've not seen any Premium company posting their recipes, & did not say they or I did. :blink:

My strength rankings of flavorings, from strongest to weakest, of the 5 manufacturers whose flavorings I've used. I also include the typical percentages that I use.

I've only listed those manufacturers whose flavorings I've actually used.
Obviously there are exceptions within the lines offered by various manufacturers. For example, TFA Tobacco Absolute is the strongest flavoring EVER, with half a percent being the most I'll use. But, in general:

1. Vaping Zone: 1% to 3%
2. FlavourArt: 5% to 10%
3. TFA (The Flavor Apprentice): 7% to 15%
4. Signature (said by everyone to be the same as TFA): 10% to 20%
5. MBV (Mount Baker Vapor): 15% to 25%

When I need a sweetener, which is rare, I use NOW brand liquid stevia at 3% to 10%.

Guys I just want to give my very undetailed personal opinion type review of the Kanger Subox Mini Starter Kit the hubby surprised me with.

The tank is a painted to match subtank mini and really does not differ in any way from the standard subtank Minis. I like this tank. One of the easiest tanks to do a build on, never leaks, very nice flavor and airflow control, you do NOT have to build it subohm.

The Subox. Guys I really like this thing. it is smaller than a REO and has rounded edges so it is very easy on arthritic hands. The button has just enough click to let you know you pushed it but not enough to make it difficult to push. The batterys are super easy to get to and change out. I believe it is a 40 watt device so plenty of power for most moderate users.

At less than $60 for the kit this is not a bad setup for someone wanting to step up from an ego. Not bad at all. You are not even forced to buy a charger since you can charge the 18650 while its in hte device via USB. You can buy premade coils so you don't even have to go RBA.

If any of you know someone looking to step up this is a good one.

For me it is going to be my beater for around town. I can drive with it and it is cheap enough I wouldn't get too upset if I lost or broke it.

I have to make a commentary on the 5% Capella Juicy Peach DIY I have been vaping for the last couple of weeks. I have put about 70 mL through the tank and took it apart tonight thinking surely it would need cleaned up. Nope not one spec of crud on the coil and no color change on the wick either. This is running at about 14.3 watts on a .6 ohm coil. I was SHOCKED.
