hi well I'm new to mixing and ended up getting some flavours from totally wicked (cherry) (blackcurrant) ( tutti frutti ) (liquorices) (tobacco) gold standard. Does anybody know of any good recipes i could make with these i have mixed one of them liquorice and blackcurrant and just did not turn out right:thumbdown: any help would be much appreciated:D

Well, as you've just started the collection, you're a bit limited by your range.
Blackcurrant and liquorice was a good starting point, as this is a flavour pairing used in sweets etc.
What was wrong with that blend?
You'll often find that some flavours are much stronger than others, so there's a degree of instinct involved in the ratios needed to provide a good balance. I make a buttermint, but the peppermint makes up a relatively small percentage of the overall flavour, as it's naturally much stronger than the other flavours. You might find that, to get a good equal balance of blackcurrant and liquorice, you'll need much more of one than the other - if it tastes too much of one flavour, try making an equal amount of juice with just the weaker flavour and mix the 2.

From the flavours your have, Cherry Tobacco might be nice (though I'm not a tobacco flavour fan myself), getting some menthol crystals and making up some menthol flavoured PG would mean you could have a go at mixing menthol with the fruits.
I also find that cream or white chocolate goes well with sharper fruit flavours

Personally, I couldn't live without my butterscotch/toffee flavours, as they go into so many of my mixes.
 
Hi calmbeef good advice from Fleabag but if you are new to mixing try starting by mixing the individual flavours to a strength that you like (don't forget to let them steep). Then try experimenting with mixing combinations (in small amounts and keeping notes) of these ready mixed single flavours for more complex blends. It worked for me, I'm mainly a tobacco flavour person but I have just mixed a beautiful coconut cream cake juice that would have taken a lot longer and wasted more concentrate than playing around with premixed flavours.
