Looked over the recipes I have written and they look good to me so I guess I’ll mix them and see.
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.
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.
There’s also the fact that we don’t all like the same flavors.I suggested doing small batches of SFT's... at 5mls. And test mixes at 10mls.

These days the only time I do SFT's are for flavors I consider "oddballs".
Like... Amarula, Nanaimo, Lulo, Apollo, Marula, Soursop etc. etc.

Not so odd. I like them all.
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.I suggested doing small batches of SFT's... at 5mls. And test mixes at 10mls.

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.

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!
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.
We've been getting into watching "Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy". It's a food show on CNN about the country's regional cuisines. They sure make some good stuff!
Good morning mixers. It’s a rainy Monday here. Rain on and off all week. Cooler temperatures in the high 50’s too. Doesn’t look to be a very enjoyable week.
We had a thunderstorm last night, but it was more thunder and very little rain. Today predicts a high of 81 with possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. I hope it produces more rain this time.
I'd gladly send you some of our rain. I'm sick of it already. In another month we won't be able to get rain to save our lives and I'll be running the sprinklers.
Good morning random folks Have you any plans today?

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.
