Hey guys n girls . Am new to the forum and after taking advice have placed my first order due tomorrow . I have a very sweet tooth and have picked flavours i think i would like. What i would like to do is come up with a super sweet combo. Has anyone mixed any of these flavours with good results? I will happily buy more flavours if there's something missing . I forgot to add raspberry which i will get asap.
The pink lemonade is my wifes so cant use that for combos.
Thanks very much in advance
I'm sure i've asked this already but in the calculator where it say 20% flavour am i right in thinking that can be any combination of flavours to get to that amount?
1 x 10ml Mojito - Flavor West £0.00
1 x 10ml Pink Lemonade - Flavor West £0.00
1 x 10ml Rainbow Sherbert - The Flavor Apprentice £0.00
1 x 10ml Vanilla Bean Gelato - The Flavor Apprentice £0.00
1 x 10ml Candy Cane - Flavor West £0.00
1 x 10ml Bubblegum - The Flavor Apprentice £0.00
1 x 10ml Butterscotch - The Flavor Apprentice £0.00
1 x 10ml Cotton Candy - The Flavor Apprentice £0.00
1 x 10ml Sweetener - The Flavor Apprentice £0.00

Great prices there Stomper Flavour percentage will depend on the flavour concerned. 20% is just the default value in the calculator that you are using. I haven't used the above flavours to be able to suggest a starting point percentage-wise. ... You may also need to experiment a bit. Sweetness can come from the flavours naturally, although extra sweetness can be added, as I see you've included one type of sweetener (TFA Sweetener) in your order. (TFA Cotton candy, I believe is ethyl maltol which is also a different type of sweetener that can be added to mixes to sweeten them).

Lol , i wish they were that price i'd have ordered more, they came as part of a package.

I don't know which browser your using but most have a zoom facility Firefox has three bars on the top right corner which if clicked on shows - 100% + using the + you can increase the size.

I'm going to suggest a few basic concentrates that you might find useful to have in at some time in the future Stomper for adding depth and layering flavours if you're not going to go down the one-shot route and would prefer to create your own recipes from scratch: Capella Vanilla Custard V1 Cake Batter Sweet Cream New York Cheesecake Marshmallow The Perfumers/Flavour Apprentice
French Vanilla Deluxe Vanilla Bean Ice Cream Flavorah
Chocolate Deutsch Be wary of adding too much extra sweetener to your mixes as it will be a coil gunker.

Well i've done it. 20ml of pink lemonade made for the wife 20ml of butterscotch and candy cane for moi , the butterscotch smell was amazing and sniffed all the others which in their own right smell lush but was determined to make something i couldn't buy so added a bit of candy cane to the mix 15% butterscotch and 5% of candy cane to make up my 20% flavour. Here's hoping my first combo isn't a disaster. Now the waiting game . Only 6 days and 23 1/2 hours to go till i find out.

I'm confused.... you say that you made 20ml.... yet you added 15ml + 5ml candy cane ? do you mean 15 % and 5 %, by any chance Stomper ? Those flavours should steep quite quickly (if you're impatient).... nothing wrong with a sneaky sampling to monitor it's progress

I am looking forward to trying them so may end up having a wee taster earlier than suggested . I don't use a dripper though so if its crap ill end up ruining or tainting a coil.

You shouldn't end up ruining a coil and as far as tainting it, it'll have a very similar flavour profile as your steeped mix, just maybe not as full/rounded.

Kool.
Still really new to all this.
Can i ask something? What's the lick test, can you taste the flavourings straight out the bottle? Does it give you an indication to what the mixed liquid tastes like? If so i'm off to taste them all now.....
