Results of my recipe tests (and one solo flavor):
Peanut butter banana pudding with vanilla wafer... great (needs just a bit more peanut butter and vanilla)
Lemon cake (with bavarian cream) Thought the lemon I had mixed weeks a go had faded... wrong! Had to add more yellow cake and dilute the entire mix.
Berry pie... yes, I like it (the OOO pie crust gets better with steeping... even after only two days) WF bumble berry goes great with PUR boysenberry preserves.
Peach/mango/apricot with bavarian cream... wonderful (just a bit weak, will mix stronger next time)
Last (but not least) TFA Acai (solo) I like it (even at 1.5%) sort of grape, sort of berry, "earthy" (whatever that means) and just slightly tart. I really like that it's not very sweet. I even like it solo but will eventually use it in a recipe.
I am so done with all this testing (lots of work) BTW, used a small MTL tank, tried 1ml, dumped, vaped unflavored 1 ml, dumped and so on. All the leftover juice (except the unflavored that I save in a container) goes in the "mutt mix" bottle... currently lost count (maybe 15 flavors) I just can't waste anything so that will be for my little carry around tank (for better or worse) :lol: The only recipe that didn't go in the mutt mix was the peanut butter banana pudding with vanilla wafer... that's in my Kroma-Z (vaping that the rest of the evening) Geez... even posting my results is a lot of work (I'm exhausted)

Mixing your base at 6.8mgs/ml will give you 5.98mgs/ml with 12% flavoring and 5.85mgs/ml at 14% flavoring.

If you mix your base at 19PG/81VG, a mix with 12% flavoring will be 28.72PG/71.28VG, and one with 14% flavoring will be about 30.33PG/69.66VG.

You probably won't even notice those slight variations. A mix with 6% flavoring, though, would end up with 6.392mgs/ml of nic at 23.86PG/76.14VG. If those numbers don't work for you, you'll have to mix a separate base for your Flavorah recipes.

NOTE: I'm not feeling particularly well today, so some of my arithmetic may be wrong here. Please check my work, someone!
well I certainly cannot check it as I got a headache just reading it. Math was never my gig.
I think I get it though. For most of my mixes a base of 6.8mls NIC, 19PG and 81 VG will work for all except my FLV mixes) )or anything under 10% flavorings. going to book mark this

@DavidOck gave my post a checkmark, so I think my calculations were okay.

For your mixes with 6% flavoring, a nic base of 6.4mgs/ml at 24PG/76VG would work.

    I’ve been thinking about doing something like that where I dump unused samples all in one container. I waste so much testing new recipes.

    If I stick with what I know I’ll like I won’t need to dump. But when I mix some odd thing you never know. I know I’d never want to mix them together. I’d rather dump.

    @hittman , sometimes it's good, other times it sucks. I've never had one with so many flavors... haven't tried it yet so no idea.

    Worst case scenario is I don’t like it and dump it. I’ve got a bunch of 50ml bottles so it wouldn’t hurt to start a dump bottle.

    I just had this crazy idea (oh no... here he goes)
    The show "Chopped" on food network... something like that for vape juice recipes. A competition, including how they make you use the ingredients in "the basket" (like you open it and gasp... no not bacon) :shock: Maybe someone has the ultimate recipe but they put way to much super sweet in it... "sorry but you've been chopped" ;) OK... I'm bored (but it is a fun thought)

    The fun part of doing this is when someone asks me "what are you vaping?" and I say "I have no idea" :lol:
    I'll try it tomorrow and let you know... this one actually has a bunch of really good flavors in it.

    I decided to cancel my covid vaccination. It would be unethical for me to get it before my parents and other elderly people. I am young and healthy. I will wait my turn. My coworker's son is a nurse and he's 23 years old. He got very sick from the vaccine and him and other insiders are hearing and seeing things. Like some people in the ICU after the vaccine and other bad cases. Him and his colleagues are not even going to get the second dose. I'll wait for more data. My son is adamantly opposed to getting it. My Dad is all for getting it as he was in the Navy and got vaccinations regularly for traveling to foreign countries. Mom and I are leery. But until our state gets their crap together and lets the higher risk groups get it first, I'm out.
    The vaccines we know and "love" are generally uncontagious virus bits. This vaccine is an experimental RnA thing, which is quite different. There have been no long term tests of it. So, it may be fine. But, we are the lab rats. I'm wary.

    I'm starting to find out that I don't like sweet cream. All future mixes I will sub fresh cream with just a small touch of sweet cream.
    What don't you (and I see Fran also in a later post) like about the sweet cream (and which one BTW.)?

    Did one last thing... topped off the Acai with berry pie. For some reason this just didn't work. I did have this idea (since acai sort of has a grape note... but quite different) maybe a sort of PBJ sandwich. I'm done for now... might play with that idea another day (acai, a little PB and croissant?) I think my brain has hit recipe overload.
