Sorry for the ignorance

[ethan_diy]

Hello all
I’m trying to find recipes only with rating on them…
But I have know idea how to…
Do I just type in a recipe I would like and then keep looking till I see ratings?
If a recipe doesn’t have a rating on it how can I know if it will be any good?
Would appreciate some advice…
Sorry for the ignorance.
Thanks

If a recipe doesn’t have a rating on it how can I know if it will be any good?

The best way to find good/better recipes on ELR. Would be to become familiar with the more seasoned DIYrs and their body of work. You are going to find each Mixer here has a certain style and generally lean towards certain flavor profiles. So if you enjoy Tobacco type Eliquids. You will find there is a well “followed”Mixer that shares recipes that might interest you.
I guess what I am saying here is. Instead of trying to look at 10,000 recipes, start by looking at chunks of recipes. When you see a Mix that is appealing. Click on it, then click on the Mixers profile, look at their overall portfolio of recipes, look to see how many other DIYrs follow that Mixer and how active they are. If they stopped posting recipes in 2016, chances are the recipes won’t have the newer Concentrates available now.
I do hope this is helpful

Analyzing The 100 Top-Rated Recipes

Analyzing The 100 Top-Rated Recipes Updated Nov 10, 2018 While working on my post A Beginner’s Guide To Making The Most Highly-Rated Recipes I downloaded the 100 top-rated recipes and analyzed them to find recipes suitable for beginners But I kept wondering what else could be learned from analyzing those top recipes? And even if little could be learned, would some analyzation be interesting? I figured that both could be possible, so I did some more programming… Flavor Counts Making all of …

Recommended Flavors and Research List

So many times we get a newbie request to help rescue a wayward recipe. Most of the time the problem boils down to vendors flavor choice and usage percentage. We are hoping this proactive approach will give the newbies a resource to make better flavor purchases and the ability to see usage percentages and how others pair the flavors in recipes. We also hope the newbies take advantage of this resource and try some of these popular flavors instead of depending on one vendor for all their flavor nee…

Or just click flavors and then click rating.

to see how many other DIYrs

Too true Mark, I’ll have to get away from something that has become my style and always falling on the same flavours profiles, whether I do bakery or fruits or whatever… it became “My Style”.
I’ll probably never go away from it, but probably we all get there… it’s our style.

Well said!

Also, the what are you vaping today and sneak peek threads can be pretty useful as recipes get discussed there.

I try to avoid inspiration from people who admit their recipe is terrible
The discussion is good though.

Fix My Mix - Bring your trouble recipes here!

I’ve thought about this for a while. I know there are threads asking for help with this recipe or that, but I didn’t find a thread devoted to helping fix a mix and if one exists, well I know admins know the next move. Otherwise, post your trouble recipes here that you think would benefit from others’ ideas. I’ll kick it off. Been trying to make a great Pina Colada for a long time. I’m on my gazillionth try. What can you see that would help? Ok, you want more info such as what’s wrong? Well it do…

Private Recipe Sneak Peek (WIPs) Part 1

Just curious about users private recipe stash. I constantly bounce potential recipe ideas off myself. Most users only want to post completed, tried and true recipes. I’d like to see and hear potential recipe ideas. I think this is a good opportunity to get feedback, suggestions, collaborations and ideas about recipes before you commit to making them. I probably have about 50-60 recipes in limbo because I’d like them to be right the first time. Any thoughts on this. It’s like a WIPs only thread.

What Ya Vaping/Mixing Today (Part II)?

Old thread is gettin a little long in the tooth. Let’s start fresh! I’m testing some stuff I mixed about a month ago. @vonTrueso’s Glory Pie @daath’s Irish Cream from Scratch Both pretty great recipes! I think my pie crust may have lost some of its potency. Been awhile since I used it, but I’m not getting much crust on the glory pie. I coulda sworn I remember it being pretty strong stuff and definitely tasting like pie crust. Next go round I’ll try NicVape’s I think. The irish cream …

You gotta pick up what others are recommending to do, not go ahead with a recipe that’s broken lol
