OK. Newb here to mixing. I'll start with what I know. I understand things like a kit and what is something of a waste, but I feel this is needed here. Second, I understand some juice calls for sometimes several ml (will touch on this in a sec on flavoring). I have a good profile of desserts that I like and maybe a candy or two in my mix.
Here's the issues and I'm needing help here so I can make my first purchase.
I have a baker friend that is selling 100 dram sized flavors for $85. Mixed lot. Unopened bottles, she found a place in bulk for her needs. All Lorann. I understand that I'll use much of these flavors in a bottle or so. I've checked recipes. In my mind I'm thinking this is a good start with a good choice of different flavors and not crazy priced. Is this a good deal in your eyes?
Next, in thinking of a nic, pg and vg. Would 1 gal vg, 1 liter pg be ok for a 80/20 to start out with? Thinking of 100mg nic for my 6 and 12 mg needs. What size would you get? Looked at the 240ml and not sure about how many 60 to 120ml I'd get from that without thinking this fully out. (My mind is warped at this point. Lol)
Just need a few tips. I'm seeing some recipes that I like have many different flavors in them (4-6) and this is why I'm thinking of an assortment right now, then buy more as I need and try these out first. One recipe called for 1mg of this and 1mg of that so in my thinking 3ml +/- per dram could be either one small 30ml or a couple of 30ml to start out (I'll build up from my small batches after I taste test). Opinions needed here since 100 drams is kinda cheap to figure this whole flavor buying situation out. Am I wrong or headed in a right way?
The kit will help me, so I'm going with a basic one for other flavors and supplies to have on hand.
Just needing opinions to see if I'm going in the right direction. Plus answers. TIA
