@Thanks Bill - you are a fountain of in formation and so generous in sharing your experience. I did think of beakers and in fact have a set on the way.

I can not find it can someone tell me where the pineapple upside down cake is? I really want to try this one I have been working on some of the recipes in here today and this was one on my list but I didn't save it all I have is a blank page.
ugh I got 30 new flavors on the way... I need support people!!!
Edit: For the waiting part, not the buying new flavors.
Also figured out how to set the avatar. 1969 McLaren ...

Bill you say
Remember to add a couple of drops of citric acid solution (10%) to the mix. This will stop the juices from making dramatic changes, occasionally for the worse.
Is this always/ With all ejuice?

Citric acid prevents oxidization, which in turn prevents dramatic changes in e-liquids.
Have you or someone you know ever used lemon juice to keep apples from turning brown after they have been cut?
Here is the scientific / chemistry explanation; most of this can be somewhat applied to e-liquids. Although the components are a bit different the base theory is the same...the more oxygen exposure, the more things change.
Lemon juice on apples to prevent browning / discoloration after cutting.
This is a common method that has been used since the days of yore to retain the original color of the apple. It is basically the polyphenol oxidase or PPO enzymes that are present in chloroplasts of apples that cause rapid oxidation of phenolic compounds in apple tissues. This is what causes these fruits to turn brown so quickly after they are cut and come in contact with oxygen.
These compounds are then turned into o-quinones that are colorless precursors for brown-colored products. The brown color is thereby produced by O-quinones as they react with proteins or amino acids and form compounds.
The mild acids contained in lemon juice are able to stop the oxidation process, which means that the apples do not turn brown so soon. Many people have also considered vinegar for this purpose, but as it undergoes the fermentation process, vinegar is a lot stronger when compared with lemon juice. So, it is actually the mildness of acid in lemon juice that is the key to prevent apples from turning brown.
That acid is citric acid!

For people who have not heard, ECF is changing their forum software. Looks like next week. There are several threads announcing it, but I have been following this one that retired1 is explaining how to do things in the new software.
Xen Foro tips and tricks
Might be a good idea to download all your private messages, because if they do port over, if you have them organized in any way, they will come through not organized. I downloaded my private messages as text, organizing them as I went along by person, conversation, topic, whatever, opened them with Notepad and saved them with a file name so I know what messages they are. Maybe not the most efficient way to do it, but that's what I did. You can download them in other formats and hope they import, but messages will be treated differently than the current software.
I personally applaud ECF's effort to stay current. The new software is supposed to handle other platforms, like tablets and phones, easier. Perhaps we can do away with Tapatalk (YEAH!!!!!). We shall see.
Just FYI....

wow Techy, thanks for the chemistry lesson. Where do I get this product and do I add it when I add the flavorings?

I got mine on Amazon. Great for all sorts of uses, as well. I use in my juice, and in my dishwasher! Great stuff. Good luck!
You should blog that! Great explanation! Also, add solution preparation. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!Citric acid prevents oxidization, which in turn prevents dramatic changes in e-liquids.

Bill..any ideas what is the percentage or how many drops should we add the Citric acid to the mix??
Now waiting for my order to arrive, will try your simple flavouring recipe..50/50 pg/vg with 2% strawberry as a base and mix with 10% fruit flavouring and sweetener..
Mix a solution of 10% citric acid. I use 2 drops per 5ml for for normal mixes, and 3 or 4 drops per 5ml for fruit mixes.

I've got some berry crunch and fruit circles coming (first order on the official TFA website! ). I would like to make a cereal liquid because it's much hyped the last couple of months and I wanna see what it's al about. Anyhow has a good recipe for berry crunch and fruit circles?
