I enter the recipes I want to mix on elr and then just use my phone to pull them back up and mix from.
No cell phone, no tablet, no laptop, no wireless in my house. But, as I said, that'll probably change this year. Between mixing, cooking, and having to send photos for returns, I will soon no longer be able to resist the siren call.

I took me about 7 of my mixing years to lose my taste for high flavor mixes. It happened all at once too so I was scrambling to cut my %'s down....a lot. Most all my mixes are under 10% now.

My experience was different. I started out mixing many of HIC’s recipes that use <10% total flavoring all the way down to the 4 to 5% range. I did not have an issue tasting them however most are S&V. For me S&V = 3 day steep though. Those that I liked I did increase the flavor especially when I wanted to mix a larger bottle.

Several months ago I bought a POD and wanted to try a juice with nic salts in it. Rather than buying nic salts, I decided to buy a commercial juice made with nic salts. I purchased Dinner Lady Lemon Tart since it was a flavor I did like. I found it soooo sweet I could not vape it. What a waste.

    It's been well over a year since I've been able to tolerate any vendor juice simply because they are so over flavored to me now.

    I've compared my barley malt syrup and sorghum. They are very similar. The sorghum is slightly more acidic, a bit sweeter, and a shade more like light molasses. The barley malt syrup has noticeably grainy flavor and reminds me not at all of the malted milk powder I have (which calls to mind both malted milk balls and Ovaltine). Both are far less assertive than molasses.

    For the most part you need to steep.Most single fruits are just shake and vape but not all of them and there are some recipes that are shake and vape. I've never done it though.
    I do with my watermelon...but my strawberry kiwi takes at least 10 days just for the flavor to adjust...but very convenient with the watermelon if you are out of juice

    Nic Riv is having a Flash Sale 25% Off ALL flavors.

    Did someone mention that the nic River bottles 15mg don’t fit in the polish cases? I think I heard that here.

    The website keeps hanging for me- way too annoying to deal with tonight.

    In my case I could not get beyond the over sweetness to even begin tasting the flavor of the juice. Dumped it.
