Welcome to elr. I’m a fan of watermelon and kiwi mixes. Maybe start with FA red summer 3% + FA kiwi 2% for a test and adjust from there. You don’t list a sweetener, maybe 0.5% marshmallow (I don’t use mm myself so not sure). I would discourage you from getting stuck on a specific total flavor percentage. Use whatever percentage tastes good to you.
I know a lof of people vape this one (maybe with NOT all the sweetener in it), and it’s in line with @Letitia’s suggestion, except of course for the TPA Strawberry Ripe.
Always my approach to provide links and point out things to help you get started. As u showed some may be unaware of the calculator and that certain threads are pinned purposely to help ya get started. once you get on the same page others can help you w/ specific questions.
Are your concentrates 10ml bottles? If so you have more than enough to do many 10ml test recipes from the flavors. Enter a recipe for 10ml amount to make into the calculator and you will get a sense of how little of your resources are actually needed for a mix.
Make yourself a big favor and rather use 10-15ml bottles for your mixing attempts. Put away those 60ml bottles for several months until you find to your taste the most delicious version of a particular recipe (after dozens of testings). Welcome to the forum and happy mixing!
But you don’t have to mix 60ml in them. Stick with 10ml mixes until you get a handle on your preferred percentages. Once you find a mix you enjoy try mixing just 30ml to see how it ages before jumping into 60ml batches. There is no rule you have to fill the bottle all the way.
Welcome and glad you joined.
Best advice I can give is to not mix them at all. Suggest starting out by single flavor testing and get to know the worth of your purchases by isolating the flavors (strength,taste,min. percentages etc…). No use mixing and wondering why you mix is not any good when you do not like one or more of your flavors.
Might like to read through:
Rakoom, what’s the status of vaping in KSA? It was legalized here in the UAE in April, Bahrain is legal, I believe also both Qatar and Kuwait. I don’t know about Oman, but they probably will be soon. You should try Chef’s Flavours in the UK. They have tons of customers in the GCC. Order only flavors from them. Customs used to ask me if they were for vaping but I explained to them (over and over again) that they are legit food flavorings used for cooking and I always got them.
That Kanzi clone tastes good but don’t let it sit for too long. After 2 weeks, all the flavor mutes away. I haven’t let it sit for months to see if it comes back, but it was a huge disappointment. if you make it, try it without the sweetener or try a different sweetener not based on Maltol or Ethyl Maltol.
That’s interesting @anon28032772, as it’s pretty damned strong as written. I’ve had good luck with maybe 0.25% super sweet. LOL, because I don’t think mine ever lasted 2 weeks. Because it’s soo strong out of the gate, what do you think is causing the fade ?
and yes i didnt know about the ELR calculator that will be a big help thanks
