No, I figured go big or go home. I did 1.5% each.
There was a guy who posted a lot on ECF years ago who believed in Go Big. He was a notable and respected recipe developer. I think he sold juice. He posted recipes as drops per bottle. I believe he got out of the business in the end and stopped posting.

My recollection is he wasn't a fan of steeping. He liked to make juice strong enough to vape immediately. He once said if you like one of my recipes then go ahead and reduce the concentrations and steep the juice, maybe that will work out, maybe not.

I tend to do that. Start with high percentage of flavorings, then reduce them later if I need to. A lot of folks start low and up the concentration as needed.

    That was Bill’s magic vapor. That’s how I first started mixing. I used the 100 drop test he came up with. His recipes were commonly 20-30% flavors.

    Yum! Now you've triggered a craving to stuff them with homemade lobster salad or warm buttery lobster meat!

    We do lobsters for our anniversary in early Aug.: 3 large lobsters - 2 to eat and plus one for making lobster salad the next day. I pick those bodies clean so we end up with a lot.
    The summer I was seventeen, I worked as a cook in a small inn in North Brooksville, Maine. Every Friday, lobster was served, and on Sunday there was lobster stew. I can still remember how sore my fingers got from being pricked as I picked lobster after lobster.

    I have all of those, plus red currant. How long are you going to let it steep?
    I think I let it steep for maybe an hour before trying it. Off the shake it’s pretty decent. I’m just going to drip a little at a time and see if it changes much.

    Morning, mixers.

    Apologies to the rest of the country, but still pleasant temps here. But still no rain.

    Time to behead the dandelions.

    Ouch! My VT cousins would do a big lobster boil in the summer using a new 30gal metal trash can over the fire pit. Lobsters, clams, local corn plus more. For 24 people we'd get 36 lobsters and have a feast on the patio. I trained them to save the bodies in a big trash bag so I could clean them the next day. At first, they thought I was nuts but when they saw how much I got out, they were amazed. I just couldn't bear to waste all that good meat. One cousin made a yummy lobster/clam chowder though. One day a year is ok, once a week would be a different story.
