I'm like JC, in that I began by mixing journey, following Bill and his methods. For me, it worked well enough with the old Stardusts, and Vivi Novas, but it became a matter of cost. Mixing at 33% flavoring got expensive, and I was reading about others mixing at 5-10% (using other mfgs.), and I started branching out.
LOL. I followed Bill to check out his recipes but I could never use his methods.I'm like JC, in that I began by mixing journey, following Bill and his methods.

You also have to remember who his audience was/is. Mixing commercially meant peoples taste buds were problem still dulled from smoking cigarettes, so he geared his system towards that so that they could be tasted by them. I think he fully expected us to dilute them down once our's healed.I'm like JC, in that I began by mixing journey, following Bill and his methods.

I know this sounds dumb, but I just didn't have the patience(at that time) to fiddle that much with his methods. Of course, I was still working 60+hrs a week and traveling, so while I understood the concept, I just never had the time.
You lacked the time and I lacked the desire.I know this sounds dumb, but I just didn't have the patience(at that time) to fiddle that much with his methods. Of course, I was still working 60+hrs a week and traveling, so while I understood the concept, I just never had the time.
This would be a good time to put some of those flavor pairing links to the test. Pick a primary flavor you might be in the mood for, and see where it leads you!
Ty,for the PB tip
This could be where it gets weird. Have you looked at those parings??This would be a good time to put some of those flavor pairing links to the test. Pick a primary flavor you might be in the mood for, and see where it leads you!
You actually want me to get inspired??Of course! How else are you going to get inspired?!
As for your experiment (TFA Strawberry with/without nic); an interesting third test (I think) would be a nic with no flavor sample (basically a PG/VG/nic blend at the same nic level as the TFA Strawberry with nic). I would be curious to see how the color change compares to the other two.
