What ratios/percentages of flavoring to cut do you guys use? N00b needs help.

Hey guys,

I just started DIY mixing, and my juices are coming out not so great. I've been using this calculator eJuice Recipe Calculator which seems to be sufficient. There are boxes where you can toggle the percentage of flavor and cut (vg or pg...50/50 etc)
I'm having an issue with my flavor to cut ratio. I'm not tasting enough flavor and I don't know if it's because I put "20%" into the calculator...I feel like I'm just tasting vg..which is what i use...I even made a 50/50 that tasted the same...not much flavor...I could up it to 30% but before I waste my supplies with all of my experimenting, I thought I'd just ask what you guys do.

I watched Rita's videos on youtube, and although she's totally precious, I couldn't see what she was doing.

I have 36mg nic, and I usually cut it down to 12 or 18

Thanks for all the help,
K8

Oh an P.S...could this be because I'm being impatient and not waiting a week to try them? I at least waited overnight to get an idea of what they would taste like, but they aren't even close.

It would help to know what flavorings from what brands you're using, as well as your other ingredients and maybe the whole recipe.

Nevermind. I found the list of flavors and percentages. Didn't realize there were different ones for different flavors. I'll get this.

Your going to experience many different things from all the suppliers that are available. In my experience with flavorings......keep searching till you find the right vendor. I just scored on some Capella's and each (so far) smells like it should. Now the experience part...what to get ( Melders ) and hint flavors to mix it just right.
