Facebook groups and the rating system

Oh my friend, you are wrong! This is the work of evil space aliens trying to take over the planet and turn the human race into Soylent Green. All evil space aliens know that elr is the center of the universe so they must gain control of the juice database to complete their mission. This is seventh seal stuff!!! Prepare for the end!!!

Peace Greece! Very impressive what you guys are doing there! Great work.

I believe this is a natural thing to happen. I mean, enyawreklaw posts anything and it seems to immediately get unconditional love and high star votes obviously from his diyordie people. Not his fault, and im not saying his recipes dont or do deserve it. Its just a by product of having a large following. These guys in Greece are saying though at least hundreds of people have tried these recipes before they go public. I believe they do see how it would be perceived as shady but i think they properly explained their situation.

Definitely got to have a more recent popularity system, which i know is being worked on. Lars and all you admins are saints, i love this place.

I have voted a couple of the highest rated recipes very low, imo, like 3 stars, basically because i was so annoyed that all i read was positive comments and then i mixed and it just wasnt very good at all. Of course these are recipes from over 2 years ago. Just being honest. We all know the flaws and how hard it is to have a fair working system.

Just to explain what trandism says:

2017-10-23 16_05_21-e-Liquid Calculator __ DIY Lemon Pie ejuice

I have this recipe (and I am not the only one) private in ELR (admins can check if my printscreen is legit), 1 week now and I have it in my personal notes since October 9th. My rating was given some moments after voodootroll published the recipe here. So is my rating a fake one? assuming that I never mixed it and tasted it?

As above is said by fellow members of the group, we are 9000+. First of all, some of us had the recipe in our hands weeks ago, so we have an opinion for this, also, 80/9000+ is less than 1% of our group, and if there was a systematically urge for “boost” recipes you would see 300-400 ratings in 30 minutes or so…
Our group has nothing to gain from 5 stars in ELR, realy. What’s the point? This group has as a purpose to spread and share the knowledge around DIY, to help people be better in mixing. We have 2 HUGE guides in pdf format one for starter things and one more advanced and till now I never found such knowledge about e-juice DIY gathered in one guide.

Peace guys, we dont want to abuse anything. We just mix, vape and share, maybe some members (not only from our community) be enthusiastic when a good mixer shares a new recipe or by the hype of the recipe profile (like this one mentioned above) and give insta 5* but even to this, we are not able, as a community, to do something…
Sorry for my bad english…

I suppose the only way to judge it properly, is too mix it yourself. So I have, as per recipe for Lemon Tart V4. No notes in description, so I am assuming a 2 week steep would be beneficial. Although some of the comments suggest this is a SnV. Personally not sure how the meringue flavour would be able to develop or come through in a couple of hours against a 4.5% biscuit/biscotto base?

Also mixed Lemon Swiss Roll Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Filling recipe, as it uses an interesting combination of flavours in my view. Hopefully it will work? I will give it a 2 week steep as mentioned in the notes with this one also.

Hey people im one of the clowns mentioned . Im here with my recipes and the only reason i uploaded the recipe here is that i think it will help people have a good all day vape . Please try it out . Im the owner and admin of the largest DYI group in greece with over 9000 members . That means i have some folowers even if i dont like the rating system i cant prevent them from voting . Note here and its very important that my recipe is hard tested very long ago from a lot of trusted people in my group before i post it . Lets get passed this recipe and lets talk about the Vape Alchemists mixing group , unfortunalty we are a greek group and that restricts other poeple on language , thats why we are ready to release a discord chat that will accomodate english speaking people to enrich our knowledge and trade ideas recipes and why not have a laugh or two . You are most welcome to join us info will be distribuded soon stay tuned !
Peace
Voodootroll!

the meringue mutes the harshness of the biscuit so it makes the mix a SNV but won’t recommend you to vape it as a SNV… in 5 days it is good… in 15 is heaven.

about my mix firstly i wanna thank you for the time and the money you spend to mix it!!! i assume that you possible not gonna like it that much because it tastes like those ceap 2$ lemon roll cakes that you cant eat more than 1 piece :joy:
it is tangy as hell, to cakey and cream cheese icing is a pain in the (/) to work with it does funny things to the mix every day.
fact is i finished a 10ml batch the last 2 days
so call me a wirdo too! :joy::joy::joy:

Welcome to the forum side. I wouldn’t say clown through. :man_facepalming: It may be good though that when posting a recipe to give a further background on its creation. Like hey, facebook group cuz has been collaboting on this mix since xyz date etc etc. that way it helps to explain all the up votes.

well i was mistaken … i took for granded my legitimacy since the queenside recipe (it was voted mostly by english speaking people) nevertheless im here at every point to explain all about this recipe since my first lemon tart v1 ive made several attempts to get the profile out with less compounds … anyway i hope you mix it and if you find it good enough rate it with a clear heart and mind!

first of all let me say thank you for replying , my comment on @voodootroll recipe was in hopes of getting some answers , more for others rather than myself because i personally could care less , my home is here on the forum and this is where i typically will drop a recipe instead of the ELR page , i now understand more clearly how a recipe can be posted one day then rated the same and next day , especially a recipe that takes some steep time , and hopefully now others can understand it , i will try a couple recipes just to give an opinion … btw if you or anyone read my original post i did say that the recipes do look good at least the mixing style thank you to all the greeks that came to this thread to explain it should help in the future

Ah yeah… I forgot it.
I have this recipe from 14/10. :slight_smile:
Admins can check if I “cheated”.
The only “mistake” is that i wrote “sweetener” instead of “super sweet”.

I’ve read all this…and they could very well ALL be good recipes. :wink:

Still feels more like a popularity contest.

C’est la vie.

thanks a lot of taking the time to reply to me :slight_smile: well the truth is i vape this recipe as an SNV but really needs 5-6 days to shine . Now on the rating part i personaly guarandee you that people that havent tried the recipe ( as i told you it was distributed to many people for hard testing) is due to excitement because they have waited for it a long time . wich i find legit to be honest … they are people that either know me or dont and believe in me as a mixer.
Now i would like to say again that you are all welcome to check the Vape Alchemists group in facebook and on the files check the recipes , others are very good and others are some guys first steps into DIY , we encourage them guide them to right solutions into mixing .
Hope to see you there also
