Not new to vaping, but relatively new at diy. Been trying my hand at it for a couple of months off and on. I've made some things I didn't mind, others not so good. Still haven't hit on that one flavor that wows me and makes me proud. So I really have been buckling down lately on reading reading and more reading and experimenting. Biggest problem now is the wallet and wanting to order a lot more flavors lol. I've got plenty of nic and pg/vg.
So recently just tried flavourart and really like their stuff. I mixed a bunch of 10ml bottles of the solo flavors in a 50/50 with no nic just to get used to the flavors.
Now that I know the flavors, here is my question, and here is where I seem to struggle: Lets say I really like the butterscotch stand alone at 4%. And the custard is great as a stand alone at say 5%, and a cream great at a stand alone at 4% as well. Let's say I want a mixture where butterscotch was the main flavor, with a creamy caramel undertone. How do I decide the flavor percentages? My thinking is that all the flavors are going to be needing to be toned down so my flavor percentages aren't crazy, but I still want to taste them. So then what? Drop butterscotch to 3%, custard and cream to 1% for a total of 5% and then go from there? All of this is just an example.
Hopefully this makes sense what I am trying to ask. This is where I can't seem to get past. I can get ok flavors, but not what I am necessarily going for. I have in my head what I want to do, but when mixing it just doesn't come out that way.
Maybe that's the trial and error part of it I still need to get used to.
And to throw in another question. Anyone have a good palate cleansing technique when vaping? Sometimes when trying flavors, it seems I have a harder time detecting things without taking a long break. That's just a side question though. I'm really enjoying the diy adventure, and am so thankful for everyone's input on this site. Glad to have found this place.
