This is one of my favorite recipes. Gotta be careful with the Anise (licorice) too much and it will really overpower everything.

I start with 33mg unflavored juice that I prepare. I purchased 100mg strength (100%VG base) from myfreedomsmokes, but I try to avoid handling that if possible to I mix:

Base Liquid (makes 18 ml):
6 mL 100mg/mL unflavored VG base
10 mL 100% VG
2 mL water (just to thin it a bit and make it easier to handle)
-----------> 33mg/mL unflavored base

I'm still experimenting, so I make 10mL batches, I use bottles, syringes, and pippets from myfreedomsmokes too. I measured about 21 pippet drops / mL using their disposable plastic pippets.

I also found useful, a baby medicine syringe (10mL) that I bought at Walgreens; the plastic plug from new 510 / 4081 cartriges fits nice over the end of the syringe (to seal) and I use it as a graduated cylinder for the preparation of the base. (Note: this syringe sucks for accurately dispensing small amounts though because it kinda sticks then slips squirting stuff everywhere... but for graduated cylinder I fill it, then remove the rubber cartridge plug over my destination container and let it drain out - the plastic plug is from CARTRIDGES not cartomizers...

Recipe: 10mL 20mg/mL Strawberry-Cherry-Licorice

6 mL 33mg/mL unflavored base
1.5mL 95% grain alcohol (Everclear, Golden Grain, etc.. from liquor store)
1.5mL LorAnn Strawberry (found in Walmart crafts section for candies - not sure if this is the same as LorAnn flavors other people use?)
.75mL LorAnn Cherry
.25mL LorAnn Anise Oil

If you like a bit stronger flavor, add an extra .5 mL strawberry, .25mL cherry and a few drops anise.

This has a nice throat hit from the grain alcohol and anise.

well, depends if you like it :) I don't mind a bit of Sambucca on occassion, and I find the LorAnn anise tastes exactly like that. But it is one of those flavors like cinnamon that a tiny little bit is very intense. Plus if you use a carto for either, good luck washing it as many times as you want, the flavor still stays...

Anise is a component of so many good flavors but obnoxious by itself... why is that?

I worked my way through college as a bartender. One of my favorite customer's drink was Anisette and OJ. Who would ever think of mixing black licorice and OJ together? I used to cringe every time he ordered it until one night out of boredom and curiosity, I tried it. It is delish! And that drink is what I would like to to perfect as one of my e-juice recipes. Have you ever tried anise and orange together?

Using the same ratios (as the drink) you should be able to come close.
