May I ask, how many drops of flavor per 8oz of water.
With MF Guava I added 4 drops to a 16oz mug. So 2 drops per 8oz. It could have used another drop or two.

It all depends on the flavor and whose it is. I also did FA Strawberry (Red Touch) and added 6 drops per 8oz / 12 in my 16oz mug.

Funny, just like with DIY I always start low and add more if I feel it needs more flavor.

And what the heck, we have all these flavors, might as well whip up some decent tasting flavored water.

I've read that older mix formulas need adjustment for modern devices and figure that it can't be as simple as cutting the percentages by half across the board or such.

Learning how my flavors taste and interact would be the key, I guess, but I was wondering if there might be some tips you folks could give me for whipping up a few quick test batches to get my feet wet.

Here for example,
TPA Bavarian Cream @ 2.00%
TPA Dragonfruit @ 14.00%
TPA Vanilla Swirl @ 4.00%

Thank you for any advice or tips you can give me!
It really is as simple as cutting the percentages in half (and sometimes even more). IMHO, and for my tastes, that applies to many of the mixes I see at ELR and elsewhere.

If I was mixing these, I would start here...
TPA Dragonfruit 3-4%
TPA Bavarian Cream 1.5-2%
TPA Vanilla Swirl 1-2%

I was taught to always start low with percentages when making a mix. It's easy to add something if a mix needs more.

    I'm saving pretty much the same as you, $57 a month. I already had the HBO Max streaming svc. We went with the Hulu +live TV / Disney+ / ESPN bundle. We were talking about adding Prime but I'm not so convinced we need it. I like being able to put that $57 into savings every month.

    I watched a few shows on prime at first but haven’t watched in a while. Paramount is my favorite streaming channel.

    Don’t forget Zazie’s blog. Lots of recipes.
    Lots and lots!!!

    And @Zazie we appreciate all you've done with your blog. It truly is a valuable resource. FWIW, none of the other vaping forums have anything like it. You're a Peach! ;)

    Just for giggles. What’s everyone’s favorite RDA and RTA.??

    GeekVape Tusnami RDA, havent had any experience with any RTA's(and have no idea what an RDTA is or how it would work... why would you drip... in a tank?)

    I've been saving many of your recent posts too, especially when you elaborate more about how to use a flavor.

    I still have much rooting around to do in the mixing threads here!

    An RDTA can be used as a RDA or a RTA.

    I use my rdta on a squonk mod. When the tank gets low then give it a squeeze and fill the tank back up.

    I have it.I’m on season 6 of Star Trek. Haven’t seen it in years. Don’t remember much.

    I’ve been watching Star Trek discovery and there’s a new Star Trek that just started.
