Hi. This is my first post. Iāve been lurking for a few weeks now since finding this website. Iām been making my own e juice for a year or more now. The longest time I would just do one flavor. Nothing extravagant. Until I started making juice for a buddy. He likes the fancy ejuice flavors out there.
So recently Iāve been trying different flavors out there and mixing them, trying different recipes. I found one on here called krankberry. It consist ofā¦
So I mixed up a batch. Let it steep for a few days and went to try it. Didnāt really taste much. Iām using my old billow v2 tank. Fresh cotton and coils.
So I tried it and it was bland. So I uped the cotton candy to 15% and it taste a little better. Just not what I was expecting. BTW the flavoring is all CAP.
Iād try dropping or completely eliminating the cotton candy. I donāt feel like it gives very much flavor until itās well over 15% and by that time the EM (ethyl maltol) that makes it cotton candy has completely muted everything in your mix. The longer it sits, the worse it gets. Cap flavors are a little less concentrated than flavors like FA, Inawera, or Flavorah, so you could try going up 1-2% on the other flavors.
Are you sure it is Blueberry Wild by Cap? That flavor is TPA; Cap doesnāt have a blueberry wild.
Median mixing % on ELR for Capās raspberry is 4%, for cranberry is 3.4%, and for blueberry is 6%. I definitely would not increase the cotton candy. As I said, it will mute the flavor of the berries. I would bring the cotton candy down or take it out completely. Iād try taking the berries up 1-2% so theyāre closer to the median %s.
You are right. It is TFA. The only CAP flavor is the cotton candy. Sorry about that. I got them from wizard labs. They all came in the same bottle. Lol. I think Iām going to do what you are saying. I think Iām going to minimize the cotton candy. I already have it. Might as well use it. But Iām definitely going to up the other flavors. Maybe use the cotton candy to smooth out the other flavors.
And what is ELR? Also those percentages are the recommended amounts for each flavor? Do those % go for TFA as well or is their median different. I really had no idea this stuff was this in depth. Learn something every day. Thanks a lot for the quick helpful responses.
If you go to the flavor list, search for the flavor you have, then click recipes to sort by the most used āversionā of that flavor (long story), and click on the flavor that matches the one you are looking for (with the most recipes) it will give you a lot of really cool information on how people use that flavor in their recipes. Iāll link the flavors youāre working with below so you can see. Click on the headings to drop down extra information like how people have rated the flavor, what notes they put, recipes it is used in, what people usually use it with, etc.
The median % is the middle of the road % that people have used the flavor to create recipes on the site. Itās not a perfect āalways use it at this %ā rule, but it is a guide if youāre not sure where to start. It is different for every flavor from every manufacturer as some flavors and manufacturers are more concentrated than others.
Some other links you might find helpful even though youāre not a ābeginnerā per se:
You are very thorough JoJo. Iāll check those links out. And ELR is pretty obvious now. Iām just not hip on your lingo I guess lol. I probably need to try this website on the laptop. On the phone its a little difficult to navigate. Thanks a bunch. Iām going to research these flavors and make up a batch tomorrow. Iāll let you know in a few days how it went! Thanks!
Aw, that is the nicest way anyone has ever called me OCD before. Teasing. I try to cover all the bases cuz itās hard to know at first how much experience a person has with mixing and/or using the site.
I havenāt used the site on mobile very much other than quick browsing of the forums. Iāve used the calculator on my iPad but I imagine that is a little easier than a phone, what with the larger screen and all. Iām looking forward to hearing how it goes! I hope it works out for you and for the person youāre making it for. And itās my pleasure! Iām glad I could help or at least point you in a helpful direction.
Yea Iāve searched for this many recipes for a while. Your links are the mother load. I have a lot of Nicvapes flavors, do you know if there are recipes off the top of your head for those? I like Nicvapes flavors but they are so expensive. Wonāt buy them again but I still need to use them up
