I would love to pick your brain on mixing. You have quite the talent.

Thankyou so much for trying my mix @Joy ā¦ Bavarian cream at 2% sounds delight. I still havenāt recieved my VG and Nic River shipment. Hopefully next week. Had to call FedEx yesterday to find out whatās going on. There are 8 people on the case now lol. I havenāt mixed in a month. 4 litres coming as well as more flavours and just went on Amazon an ordered some 30 ml bottles. Iāll hopefully be mixing again next week.
You all are so kind. I try to contribute in my own way here. I am so thankful for this abundance of information. I grabbed onto the recipes by Open Source Vapor that were made public by Anonymiss Here: http://e-liquid-recipes.com/?filter=65031
They are all Medicine Flower and very simple. Perhaps they would be useful to newbies for shake+vape or ideas. I will use them with MF since Iāve got 28 flavors. Boy that was a big expense. If you ask meā¦ is it worth it to pay $15 or $22 instead of $4 or $6 for an extract, Iād say yes if youāve got it to spend. if you donāt have it to invest, then youāre not really missing that much and so you are okay. Hope your package comes soon DD69.

@Joy Iām using your method in my Tfv4 Smok tank ā¦ using separate bottle as base with 3.5 % vanilla swirl and 3.5 MM as baseā¦ added separete bilberry to tank mmmm! Still a little week on flavoursā¦ I hate to say it but maybe TPA stevia will boost all ā¦ either that or will have to boost all flavās to beyond recommended percentagesā¦ there is a lacking punch to my mixes. I think it might be sweetness.
The Strawberry ripe in previous comment really accentuated the forest mix since ripe is a weak strawberryā¦ I felt the forest fruit lacked punch as I call it. So the mix isnāt perfect but both explode a wee bit better together. IMO. I will still be experimenting with FF. I only have about 30 flaves now so I can only do what I have at hand but man am I obsessed and having fun. Thank you @Joy for ideas and helpā¦ I ramble on so everyoneās patience is appreciated. I brain storm by talking and my wife hates this. Thank you everyone. And Thankyou everyone here for the guidance
Ok ā¦ vanilla swirl and Marshmallow at both 3.5 if I could mention is a fluff creation. No Real extreme flavour but big sweet fluffy cloud. Not long steep maybe 3 weeks. Sorry for boring people but maybe more rookies like myself might learn. I think to add favourite flavour next ā¦ then as @Joy says 2% Bavarian Cream. Would ice this base. Iām using no pg just VG for cloud. Not a big throat hit guy since I quit smoking only 3 months ago ā¦ my lungs are still tender and still chunks of black coming up. VG is smoooth
I am pleased and shocked. I must have guessed right. Storing the MF flavors in PG only truly preserved them.
I believe their strength is equal to when you open a new bottle and use them. PG is a flavor carrier as they say. Now I have some of each flavor preserved, and I will use it when I run out of the main bottles.
The study concludes:
I have experienced a very obvious weakening of flavor over time in 30 ml glass dropper bottles that I access quite often. Iāve seen the flavors fade in approx. 4 months.
I see NO weakening of flavor in the MF concentrates that I stored unopened in PG only for 10 months. And those were plastic bottles!

I know exactly what you are talking aboutā¦ Something missing in a mix.
One suggestion is to use EM ethyl maltol but add it just before you vape. I do it all the time. Itās a sweetener but can cause flavors to fade over time. So I donāt add it to my mixes, but I add it to my tank.
Also buy some Vape Wizard. That will help your mixes a lot. Also Toasted Marshmello is great.
When you make a homemade blueberry pie, they say add cinnamon. Homemade apple pie = add lemon juice or orange juice. I often put EM or cotton candy in my tank. I donāt put it in my mixes though. Best advice to get a feel is to look at some popular recipes and notice how they have a fruit, a cream and a cake in them. That makes it well rounded. You could get some Vape Wizard. Itās great stuff. The bilberry add a nice concistency to mixes when itās flavor suits. Toasted almond or toasted marshmello are great too.
Thanks @Joy, I just mixed up 8 Super Concentrates from RF todayā¦ finally received my VG. All single flavours. All at 2%. In 30ml. Actually one of them is Cotton Candy. I guess I can use that to add to my tanks or drippers. I guess RF will work ? Hmm
Going to be mixing this weekend to replenish my favourite mixes like that bilberry vanilla custard mix but going to add more custard and put Bavarian cream at 2% instead of creams I used. I also mixed vanilla ice cream today from RF. maybe add that as well. Happy mixing.
