What % of juice do you guys usually use in a 30ml bottle? I was thinking @ 20%.

I depends on the flavorings you're using, really. I'm usually under 10% for a total mix. Most single flavors I try at 2 or 3%, it really depends on the manufacturer.What % of juice do you guys usually use in a 30ml bottle? I was thinking @ 20%.

I've only ever heard you mention Banana Cream, LOL. Now I know I can tag you, too.I've done TFA White Chocolate as a single flavor at 10%
Thanks. I will give it a try.I've done TFA White Chocolate as a single flavor at 10%
Huck, you use alot of FA flavorings to my knowledge. FA recipes are normally kept under 10%total since FA flavorings are so concentrated.OK, I'm going to tag a couple people that I'm pretty sure use some or all of those flavors. I've only had the White Chocolate once and can't remember what I used it at, thinking 3-5%. @OBDave, @Heabob, @Pauly Walnuts are the ones I'm thinking might use those. Hopefully, they'll be able to give you their experiences with those, as well. Sound good, too!
Ok, @KeelieKimber try this:TFA DX Caramel, TFA Graham Cracker (Clear) and White Chocolate. Total % was 20. Too Much? I did notice the caramel smell was super strong. I plan on going Organic once I get the basic hang of things (even though I will have to start all over what with differences in juice, etc.).
I do use a LOT of FA, I just don't have a lot of the TFA experience I see from you guys that I quotedHuck, you use alot of FA flavorings to my knowledge. FA recipes are normally kept under 10%total since FA flavorings are so concentrated.
TFA is less concentrated and therefore needs more to make a flavorful recipe.
My 'mostly tfa' recipes normally come in at between 15 and 20 percent flavoring. There are alot of really good tfa flavorings, but you need more of them than FA flavorings.I do use a LOT of FA, I just don't have a lot of the TFA experience I see from you guys that I quoted
Thank you soooo much for the insight ! Never thought of that. I will keep you guys posted.Huck, you use alot of FA flavorings to my knowledge. FA recipes are normally kept under 10%total since FA flavorings are so concentrated.

Ok, @KeelieKimber try this:
I only have graham cracker clear, so I cant help with specifics.
My advice is to mix an individual tester of each flavoring and see how they taste alone. Start at 5% and if the flavor is weak, add 1% and so on. Figure out the flavor you want to stand out, then see which ones you want to be in the background.
So a possible recipe for your flavorings could be White chocolate 7%, graham cracker clear 3%, and caramel 4%. But you have to do your own research.
You ll only know which one you like the best if you try them by themselves first. Like I said, try them at 5%, record your findings and make the best mix for you.
There are so many variables and so many possibilities. Post your findings and we can help you further.
Mixing your own juice is a slow process. But taking your time is the best way to go. You never learn until you try, and trying takes alot of time.Thank you soooo much for the insight ! Never thought of that. I will keep you guys posted.
When using %s the size of the bottle does not matter unless your using a very small bottle. Answer to your Question with your flavors listed is yes way too strong. Carmel needs to be 1 to 3% example here is what I would mix the three at. .5% caramel, 2.5% gram cracker 1% white chocolate and if it were me I would not even bother with the white cause it is a hard one that does have an off taste that to me really does not taste like white chocolate that could change a good thing you have going.TFA DX Caramel, TFA Graham Cracker (Clear) and White Chocolate.

You think its bad now, just wait a year!!!seems like the more i learn... the less i know. it's fun though!
yes but what pg/vg ratio are you mixing at. I just mades a 20% pg 80% and I used about 13% FA.I depends on the flavorings you're using, really. I'm usually under 10% for a total mix. Most single flavors I try at 2 or 3%, it really depends on the manufacturer.
Well, yes, I'm a high PG vaper, but I'm sensitive to VG over 25%. I just made a base of 30% VG to see how I do with that. Plus, I like throat hit, so it works in my favor for PG. I know a LOT of max VG vapers, and they say that they mix recipes as posted here, no increase in flavor. HIC, for example, is a max VG vaper and you see how little flavoring he uses. We're all different with taste. I used to use a lot more flavoring than I do now.yes but what pg/vg ratio are you mixing at. I just mades a 20% pg 80% and I used about 13% FA.
I think the other issue not being talkjed about is gear, and style.....when you have a sub tank stuffed with a pillow or a dripper with half a sofa stuffed in it and your vaping at ,2 ohms.....your are sucking in twice or more the ejuice and e juice flavorings than someone whose vaping a ss mesh wick in a genny vaping at .9 ohms...you are consuming twice the amount of flavorings in each pull.Well, yes, I'm a high PG vaper, but I'm sensitive to VG over 25%.

that's not logical though...we know flavor vendors sell flavorings in PG bases BECAUSE PG carries well.if not they'd use VG base to carry their flavorings in......max VG vapers are almost exclusively very sub ohm vapers that means they are sucking down a big amount of flavoing in eah pull and that makes up for the lack of flavor carrying in the juice.Well, yes, I'm a high PG vaper, but I'm sensitive to VG over 25%.

I suppose you'd have to ask a variety to get the answer you're looking for. I can only share what I know from what others have told me, or my own experiences. If 2 people using opposing types of equipment can get the flavor they're looking for with low percentages, it's a matter of their own preference. There are no rules, just preference.that's not logical though...we know flavor vendors sell flavorings in PG bases BECAUSE PG carries well.if not they'd use VG base to carry their flavorings in......max VG vapers are almost exclusively very sub ohm vapers that means they are sucking down a big amount of flavoing in eah pull and that makes up for the lack of flavor carrying in the juice.
HI, i'm just started DIYing. I use TFA flavor for my 1st ejuice, 50/50 pg/vg with a total of 15% flavoring consist of 3 TFA brand (Blueberry extra 8%, Pomegranate 3% & Vanillin 4%).
The problem is, i noticed the flavor is too light. Do i have to increase the total flavoring %? Or do i need to change the pg/vg ratio to be 70/30 for me to enhance the flavoring? I really confuse.. & need an advise.
i made a small batch of tfa blueberry extra 8% with a few drops of tfa fresh cream. good but a little weak. will try again with 10%HI, i'm just started DIYing.

Mucho ditto that. Brains, humor, fun, good recipes... they're family and I wish they2 would resurface from time to time.'OT: 'Sure miss those two. What a great mind they had when they put their heads together.
