But is smells great! Which can be very confusing, no?

I'm also beginning to play around with using store bought juice as a "flavor". Like I said, I diluted some full strength tastyfinger with unflavored 50/50 and it still tastes pretty much the same.

So Str8, I have this same question myself. So did you find that dividing the individual flavors (that are best at higher percentages on their own) worked as a smaller amounts of the total flavor percentage? And a bigger question, did you keep your tobacco percentage separate from the other flavor mix total or did you divide that up with the other flavors as well? I hope I am making sense here.

Say i have a total of 10% flavor which is the one flavor where i find 10% best but now i want to add a second flavor . Would i use less of the first flavor or would i add another 10% of the second flavor . hmm im confusing myself .

Ok lets say this for example . say im making a juice with 5 flavors but all of the individual flavors taste best at 10% each overall. How would i still make each flavor taste at its best and not go up to like 50% overall flavor . If i use 50% of flavor in the juice overall its way too much but if i use 3-4%etc of one flavor that needs to be 10% to taste good how would i do that and still have enough flavoring to taste the flavor but not go overboard on the finished flavoring percentage of all the flavors combined ?

I don't know, depends on the flavor and how you perceive it. Last night I made some apple strawberry champagne. If I flavored with each of these alone, I'd use 20%. I split the 20% 3 ways, about 6.5% of each, and the tastes blended nicely. I can still taste strong apple, strong strawberry, and the fizziness of the champagne. It's a mystery to me how it works, but it does. 6.5% would NEVER be enough flavor for me. It seems that when you mix the right flavors in the right %, they bring out the best in each other.

Str8,

I add Perfumers Apprentice Bavarian Cream and their Sweetener to EVERYTHING. It adds creaminess and depth and gives that nom, nom, nom to every recipe.

The best BASE recipe I ever made is: 5ml nic juice, 8 drops Bavarian Cream, 4 drops Flavour Art Cookie, 4 drops Sweetener

Okay- to that, you can add 10 drops of ANY other flavor and it will taste like a store bought juice! It's a creamy sweet bakery flavored base. Any fruit, nut or spice works well with it. I love FW's Caramel Candy as my 4th ingredient but any flavor will work well.

when using multiple flavors u never want to use a standalone percentage . If you look at my recipes i usually use a few different flavorings with each one around 2-6% . I dont use tobacco flavorings but not you use them the same as any other flavor . Hope thats what you mean .

How long do you let this mixture steep?
