Kinda appropriate for today.

Oi!Oi!

 This is my current revision (I don't recall whose recipe I picked up as a starting point but credit belongs to this community).

 Less sweetener next time, I think...

I'm no longer amazed by how supportive and encouraging this forum is. I guess it's the same as a person who lives in The Empty Quarter of the Sahara Desert isn't amazed by how sunny it is (but in a very nice way, not in a "my goodness this climate isn't conducive to life") . Thank you all.

I agree absolutely everything is a subjective indicator - even in my example from the spreadsheet izan shared, where the user Sascha1975 had placed comparative concentrations for the same flavour for different suppliers (manufacturers?) it can't cover the fact that a persons ability to taste is affected by other factors (exposure to a particular taste, presence of illness, time since cleaning teeth, external smells...) and the only real way to test flavour strengths is to use a dilution method like the Scoville Scale works for Capsicin.

It's also, as you, Perpetua , said, a big confidence thing (crutch, perhaps) for the likes of myself and cHooBeyDoo as we gain experience... Although it's more than that - continuing the geographic theme, it's a bedrock on which we can build our own knowledge. To wit, lairey, yes please. I'll send a PM now.

As an aside, the only things I have done so far is use recipes with multiple flavour concentrates and start to adjust those recipes (Granny Smiths apples, rather than apples, a little more Raspberry, shifting PG/VG balance). What I have not done is make up tasters like Claire suggested.

So much to learn - so many experiments - so much joy.

Cheers,

What about a "Introduce Yourself & Questions from those New to Vaping " as a board name?

Regarding Beginners - folks tend to subdivide once they've got through the initial beginners status...
Take me, for instance - I'm reasonably knowledgeable about Mechs, RBA's and RDA's, have legacy knowledge from my time with Ego > VV/VW batteries & iClear / Protanks and am just past the absolute beginner phase of mixing.
Likewise there will be experienced mixologists who will have limited if any knowledge of building coils or the behaviour of various wicking materials in some device family.

That be my tuppanceworth.

 Friends,
Forgive me if I've missed an existing thread (or heavens forbid) sticky - if so we can move this to the dead thread zone. 

I'm early in my journey and although I've a fair (excessive?) collection of concentrates, they don't necessarily match the recipes I'm using as a starting point... However, I'm roughly using the same proportions as the recipe...

So, is there an existing table which does something like show 20% concentration from supplier A equates to 15% concentration from supplier B which equates to 3% from supplier C ?

Or in a real world example, if I have a recipe which requires 5% of CCW Carmel Toffee and I've got FA Carmel Toffee (actually just Carmel, but i'm good with the substitution)  and 4% CCW Honey and I've got FA Honey, is there a ratio which is wise to apply?

If I manage to correlate strengths, I'll build a table up in this first post for reference...

 Damn.... I've been waiting for so long for an opportunity to place a Flux of Pink Indians track on this thread. Well done (& great taste).
