The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[DingerCPA]

I tasted it just fine .. But remember .. Even the mango custard doesn't over power with mango ..

Lemon 8
Cotton Candy 4
Vanilla Custard 6
Bavarian Cream 6

I have tried various mixes with Lemon and Lemon/Lime. Both get extremely cloudy (I mix all the flavors first, and then add my VG nic and remaining VG....) Any suggestions how I can avoid those kinds of clouds?

Also, it seems like the lemon gets "funky" after a couple of days . Gets a bad aftertaste....

You just have to mix your flavor base in a bottle by itself. Then mix as much with base as you will use in 3 days.

I know some recipes like lite strawberry cheesecake I prefer freshly mixed so I just make 10ml at a time.

Actually you can get VG for $3.97/16oz on amazon... but I guess if you're gettng all the above in the same order, you'd probably save the difference in shipping cost.

VapersTek has 120ml/$10, or liter for $45. If you're using a low mg for your vape, the "throat hit" nicotine is no different from any other -- the ones that cost a lot are a total rip-off, there's really very little difference in the taste, unless you're using like 18mg or more.

going with 3mg or less. also going to make as close to max vg as possible.

125ml for $9.99? That costs twice as much as what I get (120ml/$10), since what I get is 100mg/ml. If you get nic in VG, then everytime you use it, you're gonna have to wait for it to come to room temp, or it will be so thick, you won't be able to do anything with it. If you buy nic in less than 100mg, you're paying TOP dollar for someone else's PG/VG. And it will complicate mixing, because you'll have to use a lot more.

Why do you want so much VG?

I'm going to remove the vg and the nic from this and go with the nic you recommended unless I should get this nic. The nic you recommended comes in either vg or pg are you saying I should get PG based.

Well the stuff I get *says* it is "throat hit nicotine" -- but I can't tell a bit of difference between it and nic that WizLabs sells -- and I use 8 or 9mg. At 3mg, using 100mg nic, you would use so very little, you would never be able to taste it, so it's really pointless to buy the expensive "clean" nicotine -- which probably really doesn't taste that much different.

But when I click on link it gives the option for vg or pg base. I want to get as close to max vg as possible but willing to go 75vg 25 pg. Wich should I get.

With the tiny amount of 100mg you'll need for 3mg ejuice, it really won't make any difference. Since the best way to store nicotine is in the freezer, Vg will get so thick it won't be usable till it comes to room temp. Imagine a liquid that's thicker than honey -- and think about trying to get that into a syringe for measuring. Even room temp VG is difficult to pull up in a syringe.

Andria

 

[psyc63]

Great I will go with the pg based then. I really appreciate all the help you have given me. I am assuming the syringes will suffice as well as the cylinders?

 

[b.m.]

I get all my nic in vg.I keep a bulk of it in the freezer,but i keep a 200ml bottle with the rest of my mixing stuff,so it stays at room temp and is no problem at all to work with.The best way i have found to work with vg is to get some oral syringes,instead of a small needle,they have a good sized tip on them,i can draw up 10ml of vg in about 2 seconds with those.

Yep and the ones that have the Korc stopper thingy are really handy for PG and VG if you keep it in a 100 ml or so bottle it fits in the top nicely. I got mine at Krogers for 1.49 each. Was very cheap so I bought 6 of them. Still using the first one
her is a pic of mine

with the syringe sticking in the Korc stopper in a 100 ml bottle of 50/50 PG/VG. Easy Peasy with those.

Thanks for the info. If all think I have made wise choices based on your experiences will place my orders.
