Using additives after mixing?

[jiminsandiego]

I plan on my first mixes to be single fruit flavors. Once I determine a % of the flavor, I would like to begin experimenting with additives such as koolada, Sucralose, EM, and lemon juice. I'm thinking I can just take the "finished juice" and add a drop of something like koolada and get an instant comparison of before and after the additive was used. I'll start with small batches and maybe after I get an idea of what I like I can just use the calculator for bigger batches. Any input? Thanks,
Jim

If using koolada (my fav additive) I would mix batches 5ml or larger. One drop of koolada per 5-10ml is strong for some people. Sweetener same thing when I mix one drop per 10 ml is sweet bordering too sweet but I use 100% vg too. I have tried sour but haven't really gotten it to make my fruits sour. I also buy premixed fruit juices or cream flavors and add koolada to them. Sweetener can sometimes make fruits like strawberry or cherry that are Chapstick tasting sweet and juicy. Sour can sometimes do the same thing. Also if you mix a fruit and feels dry or flat add a complimenting flavor to it like cherry with a bit of cranberry or strawberry with dragon fruit if you use the secondary flavoring on a drop by drop basis record your drops so you can remember later. Mixing is fun.

In order to add less than a drop, Ive read about dipping a toothpick and also diluting with PG. Any tips on adding less than a drop?

I wouldn't get too hung-up on additives...ain't no reason to ruin perfectly good flavors...I'm just of the opinion that a quality flavor mixed at the right percentages will stand on it's own merit...folks have a propensity to repeat what they've read...doesn't necessarily make it so

I absolutely love koolada. I keep a bottle of it and add a drop to an atomizer when I am filling it up. There are so many wonderful DIY threads on here. Check them out. Good luck to you and have fun.

If you are offended by anything on ecf then maybe the internet isn't for you bro.

I asked a simple question, not your opinion bro.

I'm sure if it's too offensive the mods would have it taken down.

But really, what does it have to do with the op?

A 28 ga insulin needle delivers ~250 drops per ml. Tough to get it to suck up anything but it does if you're patient.

.......... double post don't know how that happened.

I have tried adding with the toothpick. I didn't see any change in my 3ml batches by using that method. I found it was just easier to up my batch size. I tried the syringe with a needle but it's hard to control only a tiny drop escaping when putting enough pressure on it to make it drip.

Let's all play nice now. If an avatar is offensive to you I'm sure you can drop the forum moderator an e-mail or post in the moderators forum pointing it out and let the MOD's determine if it's offensive.

If you use Firefox and Ad Block, you can block them the same way. Mouse over whatever image you want to block, right click and select that option
