Hello,
I am completely new to mixing my own liquids and I have just ordered some flavourart anise and licorice flavours. My question is related to mixing these so they don’t overpower each other. I am trying to get a taste similar to black jack sweets we used to have in the UK and was wondering if anyone else had tried mixing with just these 2 flavours.
Also, just to add - these will be added to a 50/50 base.
Thanks - Andrew

| Ingredient | % |
|---|---|
| Anise (FA) | 1 |
| Black Touch (Licorice Plus) (FA) | 5 |
| Blackcurrant (FA) | 2 |
These ratios seem to be pretty common. I’d start with a little less and add more if it needs it.
Thanks Jo!
Forgot to order blackcurrant though! I did order forest fruits - do you think that would work?
Thanks again
I use it as a fruit enhancer and sweetener. I also like it with tobacco. I use it regularly with amazing results.

I like a bit of anise in my custard mixes along with some Lemon (FE). Delicious!
Very nice one this is 
No matter what quantity of FA licorice I use it always tastes stale and musty. Any ideas on how to improve it - steeping doesn’t help at all.
Thanks - Andrew
Thanks - I did get that one and have been steeping it at 5% for about a week but to be honest it’s still lacking. What percentage do you mix at? I use a VW battery (Ego II Twist) with a protank mini 3.
Thanks again - Andrew
I mixed it at 10% in 50/50, 6mg nic.
I use a Kangertech mini
Thanks - I’ll try increasing the percentages a bit.
How long did you let it steep for Chewy? Thanks
I usually let my mixes steep for a week, or longer if needed.
Thanks Chewy!
Add .5% to 1.5% of FA Anise to the mix; tends to lift the black licorice out of it’s doldrums. 
I started using this a couple months ago… now I want to put it in everything. I love it with fruits. It really lift up and sweeten everything.
Anise is great in tobacco mixes as well.
Licorice little known facts:
This is why pretty much every single Yogi tea contains and tastes like licorice. LoL
True!
