No good for vendors though Simon (not chip), but OK for personal use I would think.

All of this is at 24mg. Started with 20ml Gold & Silver. Added 10ml of RY4. Then added the leftovers of;- Raspberry, Strawberry, Fruits of the Forrest, Apple, Pineapple, Kiwi, Melon and about 5 others that I can't remember the names of. All of these, seperately were rubbish, but together they are devine! Just a pity that I will never be able to replicate that mix. Ah, the good old dregs mix, always fantastic, never reproduced again  |

That is the main problem Mark, as has been said, personal preference. I like VC at 10-12%, Perps at 15-20% Oh I know Roger...those percentages may well not be for me...but at least now I have somewhere to work from with each flavour....I'm only doing 2-3ml tester bottles to start so can go up or down from there accordingly. As I said above I should have just listed the flavours I had from the off and made it easier for everyone to advise. I know this gets boring, but the best basic advice is start low-med, steep, check, adjust. Keep notes, once you are happy with a mix you have it all noted down and can knock up the next batch with confidence that it will be (just about) right straight off (after steeping). That's why, when you start mixing you really need to have enough bought in juice to last until your brews are ready. Then the production line rolls  |

Kind Regards Puffer Puffer, leciageorge appears to be a spammer!!! |

Fair enough Inhaler . . . I'd rather just sell it as a complete bundle really. I can't be doing with the faff of splitting it down. If someone wants to sell on elements they don't require, then I'm more than happy. Please don't Roger, the box full is getting on my nerves now.  I really must. I was tempted, but I am TRYING to reduce flavours, not increase, besides I'm not really into fruits and candys that much, an occasional toot, but that's it. icon_shoppingm |

Subjective and personal would be catered for within a table spreadsheet. There is a lack of basic guide lines both by the manufactures and the suppliers taste is objective does not apply to the wine beer or food industry, the recipes are an exact science , lots of us are still stumbling around finding and tweaking our mixes that are more often than not stand alone. I myself was posting blueberry mixes at 25% I would have liked it to have been on a editable table so I could go back and amend it to the more suitable 14 /15% range. We are the taste testers that must find the %ages that seems to be a trade secret, A basic recipe centre wont appear until we do it. Its good to post up mixes on the boards, talk about all things mixing and keep each other inspired, but its a little keef floyd and flower arranging at times.  And that's what attracts myself and many others to mixing, the creative element of it. If every mix I make turns out differently but vapeable to my tastes, I see no problem. Other Members recipes I use purely as a guide, as I know I may prefer a little more or less of a certain flavour. If you'd like like to see something more regimented, then may I suggest you have a go at compiling it Oxo. I was just going to suggest the same thing Beat me to it!! |

Personally I find a lot of others mixes too highly flavoured for me, which is why I don't think seeing others % would be of any use to me. It may be for others. With such a variety in strengths from different flavour houses and taste being so subjective and personal, one persons recommendation may be of no use to someone else. Don't get me wrong, not saying it's a bad idea............ Subjective and personal would be catered for within a table spreadsheet.

Your analogy is a poor one, taste is subjective not objective. There are loads of recipes around, Perpetua posted a link to 2 or 3 recipe sites the other day I'll see if I can find it. |

Ok so i'll need more...but these testers would not be to actually vape as such, but more to get to know each individual on it's own merits, in terms of potency and flavour. I'm in no rush to get vaping on them as I have a shed load of juice around me. If it's to weak I can add more where as if I go over it's hard to take it away. It may all seem a bit time consuming and anal, but I was a bit like that when learning how to cook properly. I know it could take weeks, maybe months to learn what flavour needs what percent etc...but at the end I would know each flavour on a very up close and personal level. Each bottle would be labelled and tweaks noted in a book and on the spreadsheet I plan to create. Please keep the comments and suggestions coming..all are welcomed and duly noted. Im cr@p at spreadsheets looking at the one maccafan made for his coop Id like to see the mixology section have one too. Members access and edit facility enabled No chat, no review, just members name, brand name, concentrate flavour, and recipe. We could try them, then come back on the forum and give praise or a good ribbing whatever the case maybe. Im in to mixing for the pleasure of it but I have a no ready made juice policy so Ive to balance fun with quality control, Anybody fancy setting up a table ?  There is a members recipe section already with loads that you can try. allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/12015/aae-members-recipe-collection |
