I will be your lab rat sampler if need be :grin2:
 
Im sure it will be ok, the first batch i made was blueberry menthol which was ok but i think i need to add some sweetener or something to bring the flavor of the blueberry out a bit. Im looking in to it now as i think it could be better, but for a first mix im happy how it was after a few days.
 
The most important lesson I have learned in mixing that changed the way I understood flavours was; Not to think of additives in terms of traditional cooking i.e vanilla and banana or chocolate and cream. Better to think of flavours like colour palettes; Sometimes green and orange work! Sometimes the base flavour that makes everything happen isn't what you thought it would be.
The next thing that changed my accuracy was defining a consistent routine i.e splitting a test formula with potential into varying % and flavour notes. If you are at the beginning of mixing then just have some fun for a while and do what feels right, but when your frustration sets in and nothing seems to go the way you expect, then I found the above most useful..

Good luck and keep mixing...
 
Also sometimes simple is best...

I once made a cracking strawberry. You know what it had in it? Yup, strawberry!
 
My first ever mix was raspberry....nothing else....and I always have a bottle handy!!! It is funny how what you expect something to taste/vape like is often very different from what it actually tastes/vapes like.

Leavin thingsto step is wht I find hardest although I am getting better with regard to patience. Jut investd in a dripper so this will help even more.

Best thing I ever did was quit the stinkies for vaping, didn'trealise though that I would lead to a new hobby!!!!.
 
i was looking at stuff earlier on leisure liquids and its sucralose powder? i dunno how that works and what is ethyl maltol for and stevia i'm not taking the chance it could be ricin
 
All sweeteners. Ethyl maltol is a candy flosssort of sweetener ) correct me I am wrong). But they are all sweeteners.

S'alight, you'll not poison anyone with any of them :)

Stevia is a natural sweetener about 300 times sweeter than sugar (sucrose) so you only need a tiny wee bit & it has been used in central America for centuries - you can buy it alongside the sugars in supermarkets and health food shops (comes from a plant called stevia rebaudiana, whereas ricin comes from the castor oil plant, ricinus communis, which you'll find in the park's summer floral displays... why do I know this sh#t? I dunno... ) :P

It was a joke from breaking bad (SPOILER ALERT)
