I am always impressed with people who can use a plethora of flavors to create one amazing mix. I have only been DIY’ing since Feb 2017. The most flavors I can get a handle on is 6, and I rarely do that.
What inspires you Master Mixers when combining a large amount of flavors??

I dont know about being a master mixer but my inspiration is always perfection. Whether it takes one flavor or many it almost always boils down to making the mix taste exactly the way I want it to. To that end i will use almost any flavoring at any percentage to make it work.
I have several notes books full mixes that are just not quite there yet, sadly i also lack the time to complete them all.

I totally agree. Sometimes it takes just the right combo of flavors. I have one mix that is 23 flavors. All have to be just right or it won’t work.

not a master mixer , i do offen find myself in the 8 to 12 flavor range making a recipe especially if remaking a commercial juice ( not cloning ) my goal always is to make that juice better , learning the flavors as a single flavor will help you along the way , to create a juice with 6 flavors is just as hard to create a good juice with 15 flavors , honestly sometimes i have one or three too many flavors at the begining of making a juice and often end up with 4 to 6 versions before im ok with it , the people i make it for often like it on the first or second attempt lol

Well, I am not a master but I have one recipe with 14 flavors. It started with 5 and now it has 14…
It went kind of like this:
Mix recipe, wait a week, try it. So I says to myself… “hmmm that needs to be sweeter…”
Add Marshmallow.
Wait 2 days… try it…say to myself… “Hmmm, I think that needs a spot of lemon.”
Wait 2 days… (ad nauseum)
And that’s my story.

I do the same thing. I can’t stop until they are just right. but i have ample time to obsess my way to perfect on every one of them!

not a master mixer… but i am sure that even master mixers will agree…
for making a recipe with many flavors on the right percentages etc needs:
- time
- money
- too many notes
- good knowledge of the tastes one by one
- good knowledge of every single ingredient
- some luck from times to times…
- patience
there are kinda some general ways to mix many flavors…but ok still all the above are needed no matter how… on the other hand vaping isn’t a competition… every mixer has something in his mind that he wants to taste… that could be with 2 flavors or 102 flavors… the most important is the taste… not the amount

Most of my vape recipes are patterned after something I make in the kitchen, or have eaten or drank somewhere. I do a Rice Crispi treat juice that is after my own, and nothing like the thing on the box. I also do one after California Pizza Kitchen’s Butter Cake. It’s amazing, but a lengthy mix. They just seem to grow very lengthy as I go for a certain flavor.

I’m with you on that. I am a big fan of bakery juices, so I’ll find myself looking through a lot of different recipe books and making them for real to get an idea of what goes in and in what percentages, gives me something to aim for when I start trying to replicate it in a juice. Honestly, sometimes I think baking is easier! Lol
