Re-flavoring ejuice

[daisyd]

I have 30ml of Black Cherry ejuice that is a little bitter tasting, so I orderd 5ml of condensed honey flavor to try to sweeten it a little. My question is, has anyone done this? I have no idea how much to add. Never having used condensed flavors, I don't really know if it's "a little goes a long way" kind of thing or if I should go for tthe gusto and put it all in. I understand that this is largely an individual taste sort of thing, but I would appreciate a general starting point and a little "how to" if it's more complex than just putting it in the bottle with the juice.

TIA

Experiment with a few drops.

Fill a syringe with 1 ml of each liquid and count how many drops each flavor makes (one flavor can and often does make more or less drops than another).

Then, start with (say) 5 drops of cherry and one of honey. Taste. Adjust drops as necessary.

If/when you find a mix that's good, having kept track of drops in the mix and knowing how many drops are in each ml of flavor, you can calculate a batch recipe. Or, post your drops/ml and drops of each flavor here, and someone will help you calculate a batch recipe.

If the mix never gets good, at least you only used a few drops and not a whole bottle.

I taste it directly right? Not vaping it. About how long does it take for FlavorArt to fully dissipate in PG? That may very well be what's wrong with the cherry juice. It was mixed and sent to me and I had it to try the next day. I'm noticing the same "odd" flavor in all of the juices I just got.

No, vape it. most DIY flavors taste aweful on the tongue because they are so concentrated.

But do exactly what sjohnson said and literally mix some in a tiny contaner then vape it.

*Most juices take a while to get the full flavor, so after adding your flavor let it rest for at least 6 hours or so (preferably overnight), then test it to see if you need to add more flavor.

If you're using FlavourArt's honey it's pretty strong. Do like sjohnson said, but you might want to start with 1 drop of that with 19 drops of your liquid and you'll have the honey at 5% of the mixture. If that's good, you can make a larger batch like 10ml using .5ml of the Honey and 9.5ml of the liquid which keeps it at 5%.

Otherwise, add another drop to the 20 drop batch and it will be about 10% (actually 9.5%). I doubt you'll need more than that, but FA's honey isn't really made for sweetening so it depends what you're looking for.

Shaking it and letting it sit a couple minutes should be fine for small batches, it's in the larger batches that flavors can take longer to diffuse. It will also diffuse faster if the bases are the same, whereas mixing VG liquid with PG flavoring takes longer.

I don't know if sweetening is the right word. I'm hoping to give it a little body. Do I just blow out the atty between tests? It seems like it takes a lot more than that to gets previous flavors out.

I'm assuming just a regular medecine syringe (like the kind that comes with infant tylenol) will work for this.
Sorry for all the questions. I am pretty new to vaping in general. I just recieved several different premixed juices for two different suppliers, and they all taste funny. Nothing like the juice that came with my kit (from one of the same suppliers), or the juice someone gave me. One is VERY peppery (like black pepper), I have no idea what to do with it. The only one that seems obvious is the cherry and honey mix. Aproximately how long does it take a 30ml batch to fully diffuse in PG? Is that part of the "funny" taste I'm getting? I'm rather dissapointed by this little flavor excurtion, and I'm hoping there's a fix. I really like the original flavor I got, but variety is, after all, the spice of life. I'd like to have the fun with it that so many others seem to have.
