man, i'm shocked at how much flavoring percentages people are putting in. I've been using Flavor Arts and the Perfumers Apprentace (and only a couple of Capellas)... but it's been driving me crazy because most everything i made comes out way to strong and not good at all. I'm only making things at like %15 or %20 percent flavoring. I at first thought it was do to my 20 drops per ml calculations were off, so now I only use syringes to measure everything out and it's still not right... just to strong. I mixed up some plain old strawberry and pineapple at %10 percent last night just to see how that went... still gotta let it steep before doing a test.
But i'm so frustrated at the moment i'm about to take every flavor i have an make 3 small 3ml batches of them; one at %5 one at %10, and one at %15. Just so i can find out how strong they are.
My sweetener issue is a whole other thing. I have Flavor West sweetener and heard that 1 drop per ML was the way to go... so i did that and it didn't seem to sweeten at all. So than i read someone saying to use %10 of it, so i gave that a shot and it was sooo strong i almost puked taking a puff. Had to go wash out my atty after that.
needless to say i'm very frustrated at my DIY'ing.
