Creams and sweeteners are things I adjust for in a posted recipe, not everyone have the same taste and equipment. For personal preference I hold them to the end and start with half of the called for.
Thanks and yes the consensus seems to be that I will need to get a few different lemons. If we say 2-3 more of every flavour this would mean 140 flavours (FOR ME CURRENTLY)...I can see why some of you end up with 300 +
The attached photo is from my mix session 9 days ago. Most of these started on day one as almost clear to slightly colored. After steeping for over a week they are starting to develop deeper shades of color. This is normal for most juices and is common and expected.

Ok, can you tell me what LMP % is? Something to do with the limit of use per flavor/recipe?
I don't get around as much as you do Letitia, so I guess I am limited in the 'new' terminology?
LMP% = Lemon Meringue Pie percentage
I know, I did a double-take on that one too.

Thanks Joel........my 2 brain cells are not speaking to each other, it appears.LMP% = Lemon Meringue Pie percentage

LOL
You're lucky; you still have two! I am down to one... and it is on a permanent time-out in some far away corner.
These days memory is king. As long as you can Google it, read it, and maintain it long enough to use it, you're golden.
I still print or save things I want to refer to later. Memory is subject to fade away over time.
Many thanks for this really useful photo. Mine was something between the 3rd and the fifth.. .I won't worry again.

My typing fingers always take the path of least resistance. . .PLR
lemon tart remixed recipe uses (fe) lemon to prevent fading, also lemon meringue pie (fa) has more lemon flavor then pie flavor. Personally I just add lemon Sicily til I run out then I'll try fe lemon I would add it just before vaping , good for 3-4 days . The lemon percentage in that recipe is so low, I like it at 4% .

Initial color almost always darkens with time after mixing. Once the color is stable it's probably ready to vape. Steeping time can vary from a day or two to as much as 4 to 6 weeks depending on the flavor. Candy flavors can sometimes be vapable on day two or may even be "shake and bake". Cake, Pie, and other desserts can take up to a month. tobacco flavors are about the same steep time as bakery flavors for best flavor.
@charlie1465 It never hurts to try a flavor from time to time during steeping to test in small amounts. I use a 306 atomizer for that or I put a small amount in an atomizer to try. The cool part about the 306 atty is that it has metal mesh wicking that's easy to wash, dry, and reuse.
FWIW, the 4th and 5th bottles are Milk Chocolate. The left one is TFA and the right one is Purilium, both mixed at 6% flavor. The colors are very different. Every flavor has it's own color change range during steeping. The base mix on all those is 50pg/50vg.

If you are pairing a snv fruit with cream...FA fresh cream .75% + FA vienna cream 1.5% is a tasty vape with a 3 day rest. I prefer my fruit & cream mixes fruit forward so if you prefer cream forward or equal notes just raise the creams .5-1% each.
Thanks...and definitely prefer fruit forward. I don't have FA vienna cream so would probably go with sweet cream or Bav cream instead. I have TFA dairy milk also. Will look into getting some vienna on my next order.
Bavarian cream I think has more of a custard note so may need a week or two at least, I could be wrong here tho. Mention custard notes and I tend to move on, mouthfeel is too thick for my taste.
You're probably right but doesn't stop it being nice to vape straight away but I guess it would then change over time. I'm new to DIY so no nothing really
I really like a thick mouthfeel but at the same don't like my other notes swamped. I'm vaping this at the moment whilst my six bottles are steeping for six weeks.Bavarian Cream (FW) 3.00%
Cream Fresh (FA) 3.00%
Custard Flavour (FA) 2.00%
Graham Crust (FA) 5.00%
Juicy Strawberry (FA) 5.00%
Lemon Sicily (FA) 1.00%
Red Touch (Strawberry) (FA) 5.00%
It was good straight away but the strawberry is mingling more as time goes by. A good vape but needs some tweaking I suspect....it's all a learning curve.

You can vape anything that tastes good enough for to to vape. But when you mix so that t tastes good right away, remember, it’s going to change over time.
To keep my life as simple as possible, I keep track of those SNVs and only mix a 30 ml so I use it before it goes ugly on me. And I make a 120 ml of base so it’s not a huge drag to whip up a little when I’m craving one.
The long steepers, I make 120 ml.
I’d say, make some to use now, and some to sit and see what happens.
