So... for instance
. Raspberry(cap) is suggested at 7% and watermelon (cap) at 15%. That's 22% total of flavorings. Maybe too much. So.. when combining flavors do you cut back on the individual % suggested? Do you keep the total % of all the flavors at a certain level? Using suggested % seems easy, until you start mixing several flavors (and from different vendors) Thanks for any enlightenment on this, Jim
Total % of flavors vs single flavor recommendations ?

Hey jiminsandiego. This is michelleinsantacruz =) aka rp
When mixing a variety of flavors, I often use less.
At what percentage do you want your flavors totaling? I could give you a formula.
Have you used any of the calculators?

Grab a calculator like RP suggested and your job will be much easier keeping track of several flavors. If you are concerned about the total flavor being too high, start with a small batch using lower % flavors. With Cap flavors you can go up toward 20% so keep that in mind as well. I find with their flavors, 12% works well for me. Hope this helps.....
If you want half raspberry and half watermelon flavor in this case, cut both percents in half:3.5% Raspberry with 7.5% watermelon.
If you wanted 2/3 raspberry and 1/3 watermelon, use 2/3 of 7% (about 4.5%) raspberry and 1/3 of 15% (5%) watermelon.
and so on
If you already have single-flavor bottles of each flavor at your preferred strengths, you can instead just mix those together in whatever proportions you want (in a new bottle or straight into your tank). Sometimes that's easiest, and you can make just as much or little as you want of your mixed flavor.

Nope, that's not how it works. It helps to imagine that you have two bottles of single flavoring juice and are combining those juices together to make a blend.
Let's imagine that you have a 10ml bottle of Raspberry (cap) at 7% flavoring so it has 0.7ml of flavoring in that bottle.
Let's further imagine that you have a 10ml bottle of Watermelon (cap) at 15% flavoring so it has 1.5ml of flavoring in that bottle.
If you were to dump those two bottles together in a larger bottle you would have 20ml of juice with 0.7ml + 1.5ml = 2.2ml of flavoring. Now 2.2ml of flavoring in 20ml is 11% flavoring, not 22%.
This is completely imaginary as you can make a great watermelon by starting with your watermelon flavoring fairly close to its stand-alone % and adding a half-dash of raspberry.
It sometimes helps to mix single flavoring juice and get them close to the taste you want, then mix those together and reverse engineer the contents to develop the recipe if one of your combinations comes out great. This means you have some vapable, the single flavoring juice, to vape while you work on greatness while you get a feel for how flavors blend.
That's pretty interesting Hoosier and makes perfect sense. It is also confusing in the fact that if you added those percentages into the calculator (mine at least) (Hotrods calc) it still would say 22% total flavor, wether it was 5,10,30ml finished mix
