I work in the Graphic Arts and Printing Industry ... I make these labels in Photoshop at home on my laptop, I buy the label paper at Staples and print them at work for free ... gotta have my ADVs look good.

Those are gorgeous labels! I have a few ones that I only can apply using scotch tape lol. So I usually just end up using sticky notes since they are readily available.
Ended up making this tonight with a few tweaks. Here's the recipe I used:
It smells fantastic! I'll let it sit overnight and fill a tank with it mañana!
I use Loranns Tart & Sour. 1 drop per 5mls is how I use it. If you taste the liquid itself it tastes like the liquid form of the coating on super sour candies.
Sorry it took me so long to respond. I ended up getting called out yesterday morning to work. I did compensate for the cheesecake.
Bavarian Cream bumped to 4%
French Vanilla 4%
Marshmallow to 1%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 4%
Vanilla Custard 3%
Oh my god I am so frikin anxious to get started with DIY and this thread only makes it worse LOL. Waiting on my first batch of ingredients to get started, should be here in a day or so... Looking awesome everyone! One question... What total percentage is a good amount to use for the flavoring? I see a lot of different info anywhere between 10% and 20% total flavoring.....
30% ?
If I went to 30% with anything I mix I wouldn't be able to taste anything but sweet or rancidity. That just seems like crazy high numbers to me.
The highest I go is for a coconut cream/cream pie recipe, it comes out at around 17% if I'm going for the pie flavor. I have about 35 flavors sitting around right now, of those about 15 are mixes that I consider finished and good and they are mostly around the 8% -12% total flavoring area.
Taste is subjective, but 30% just seems like a ton of flavoring..

And sooooooooo tasty! Like eating fresh strawberries!
Inawera Shisha Strawberry 16%
TFA DX Bavarian Cream 6%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 4.5%
CAP Sweet Cream 2%
TFA Sweetener 2%
I have to re-wick every-other day but far better that, than sitting around waiting for decent juice.

I hate bottles that have separate caps, when You're vaping 10ml+ dripping every day you tend to get tired of taking the cap off and holding it so I went to twist-lock style tops.
This is me, as of today:
Left to right: (All of these are Max VG)
Long Island - Self explanatory, Long island iced tea flavor, still tweaking.
Turkish Royal - Turkish tobacco, Fig, Almond, Spices, Natural cherry...the list goes on.
Arnold Pearalmer - Pear dominant pear/coconut/cream mix.
Blue Space Bay - Dead ringer for SpaceJam Andromeda, Blueberry Pomegranate.
Loupe Dogg - My take on a Fruity Cereal mix, favored amongst friends.
Maple Madness - Intense Maple Bar doughnut flavor.
The back row is 240ml large batch bottles, these are the flavors I have down to my liking or that friends use a lot of that I like to have on hand.

I have a strawberries & cream juice I call creamberry using FA strawberry and TFA strawberry (ripe) that only comes to about 9% flavoring. It's got a pretty explosive strawberry flavor with a little creaminess behind it. The only steeping I do is things that sit around while I vape other things.
Froth, can you please post a link to where those bottles and tops can be purchased?I hate bottles that have separate caps, when You're vaping 10ml+ dripping every day you tend to get tired of taking the cap off and holding it so I went to twist-lock style tops.

Thanks.
Sure thing, they're from SKS and they sell them either in a sampler pack - SKS Bottle & Packaging, Plastic Bottles By Color, Natural Plastic Bottles, Plastic Bottles, Natural LDPE Rounds w/ Black/Natural Twist Top Caps , which gives you six of each 1oz,2oz,4oz and 8oz bottles or they are also available for purchase in quantities here - SKS Bottle & Packaging, Plastic Bottles By Color, Natural Plastic Bottles, Plastic Bottles, Natural LDPE (Soft) Boston Rounds w/ Black/ Natural Twist Top Caps
Thanks buddy, I actually guessed thats what the percentages would be.
We're one in the same lol. So I just tried that Moo Juice recipe tonight... Holy shiitake mushrooms, it is amazing! I only made 10mL, but can tell this will be a regular in my rotation. I'm thinking I'll bump the strawberry to 8%, but leave everything else as is! Thank you for sharing!!!!You just wait! It's freaking awesome. Especially that first time you create an amazing mix... Bliss.
I wouldn't go by total flavoring percentage, an honestly, do not start free mixing immediately. It won't end well (trust me, I learned the hard way... dumped hundreds of mL's down the drain). Just mixed based on the recipes and the final flavoring percentage is whatever the recipe calls for. Start with proven and tested recipes on websites like Kritikal Mass, 99Juices, or in the recipes section on this forum. This will allow you to get a good idea of what flavors work well at what percentages for you. We're all different, and even with a proven recipe, you will likely tweak it to your own liking. After you make a bunch of recipes, you begin to realize what flavors work well together and in what proportions. That is the time to start free-mixing and creating your own recipes.
If you think it's good now, wait 2 or 3 weeks! Its amazing!! I would also try it without the cheesecake as well. To me, the recipe as written, tastes just like Cuttwoods Unicorn Milk. Big props to Friscoweather for that recipe! I just has to change it up a bit and make it my own. As I said, Blech Cheesecake!Thanks buddy, I actually guessed thats what the percentages would be.

I will definitely try a rendition without the cheesecake. I want a little more strawberry in it and that would help while decreasing the overall flavoring percentage. I love this juice though. It's fantastic! Thank you for sharing.

Are these tips skinny enough to fill an Erlkonigin? Whats the tip diameter?
As a guy that mostly drips I love the look of these.. the price is good, but then the shipping is more than the price of what you're shipping.. I can't stand when companies do that. At least give me the option of the cheap shipping.
Been trying to find the same thing elsewhere with shipping that is near reasonable. I was really disappointed. If you happen to know anywhere else that might carry these I'd really appreciate it.
End of the tip measures "0.261" in diameter, they're not very pointed if I'm honest.
I know exactly where you're coming from, there's two other places you can get them from but their shipping is DOUBLE what SKS charges! Containerandpackaging charges $20 in shipping PLUS a $10 "small order charge" for what I wanted to buy. Honestly I ended up at SKS because their overcharged shipping is the least hateful of the options, sadly.
