    I don't remember who told me to make 10ml single flavor testers.. but you Sir/Maam are a sadist. Almost half of these flavors by themselves are absolutely disgusting. Top3 worst so far are Honey, Bavarian cream, and Cheesecake. Not sure what I am suppose to learn by doing this but so far I have decided single flavors are an ABSOLUTE NO NO.

    (Note: all flavorings were at .5ml per 10ml)

    I stopped doing 10ml sft a long time ago because I ended up dumping so much. 5ml is plenty to test a new flavor. You could try mixing the Bavarian cream and cheesecake together and add some graham cracker to see if it’s usable. That way it wouldn’t be a total loss.

    I suggested doing small batches of SFT's... at 5mls. And test mixes at 10mls.

    In all honesty... some flavors are just, ummm... crap. :D

    Some have described TFA Honey as "cat pee". FWIW, FA Honey is the most accurate tasting, and smelling, honey around. No cat pee, just a great honey flavor.

    I rarely do single flavor tests anymore. I prefer to put a new flavor into a little recipe.

    There’s also the fact that we don’t all like the same flavors.

    1ml is too much... period. These flavors should never be done in a SFT.. ever, period, full stop. lol I literally wretched on some of these on the first puff. :lol:

    BTW honey has a strong initial almost clover taste, then it dives into a thick pool of sun dried cat urine... DO NOT try this at home.

    I will roll the dice and add FA honey to me want list,. If things go south your not getting a christmas card lol.

    You're giving me belly laughs here. :D

    Maybe go for 2-3 flavor mixes instead of SFT's???

    I think once you find your own DIY groove you will be fine.

    Consider what you've done as... IDK... taking one for DIY science! :lol: :lol:

    :danger:

    FA Honey is one of the most highly concentrated flavors around. It is very very potent.

    One single drop in 30ml can easily overpower any mix.

    From HIC's notes: I suggest making a small bottle of 10% FA Honey (90% PG/VG) and using that as your flavoring bottle. Using 1% from that bottle gives you 0.1% flavoring - which is a 'spoonful' of honey flavor in a recipe.

    Alternatively... my preference is to use the @Katya method. She taught me to take a toothpick, stick it in the FA Honey, pull it out, let any drops fall back in the bottle and then insert the toothpick in a 30ml mix for a quick stir. That gives me a pleasant honey flavor in a mix.

    Called out of work, project I am on is an absolute nightmare. Weekends really need to be 3 days not 2 ;)

    I totally agree. We as Americans spend too much time at work with not enough time off. Here it is May already and I haven't even used any vacation yet. We are constantly short handed at work. We just don't get enough holidays or vacation days.
