Make a ton of 10% flavor + nicotine bottles (5ml or 10ml).

Use these to make real-time mixes to try.

I.e. drip 2 drops of 10% strawberry and 1 drop of 10% vanilla into an atty. Vape and tweak. Use that ratio as a starting point when mixing up bigger batches.

Works much better than making 5-10ml of an untested mix and trying to tweak it from there.

[edit: Don't do this with the flavor molecules like Sweetener, AP, tobacco absolutes, etc. 10% of those will blow your taste buds out. Those flavorings get dosed at 1-5 drops per 10mL as a starting point]

That's a great idea, I just need to buy a crap ton of empty bottles now lol.

You'll likely want 10ml bottles. Even when you make small batches it is nice to have room to shake them up. I've ordered the batch below and love them:

IMHO you should include to make sure to visit the TFA Recipes post in the sidebar to make the suggested amount per bottle.

For example, say Benaiah2150 bought Blackberry and Blueberry. Blackberry is suggested at 6%, and Blueberry is suggested at 15%. This might be more useful than both at 10%, where one is too strong and one is too weak. YMMV, but it could be a better starting point.

Do as you will though, obviously, just trying to help. :) Also, just noticed InertiaCreeping's post at the bottom, I feel justified slightly more so in this post, then.

That makes the scale up math needlessly complicated tho.

And this is for blends, not making single flavor batches to vape straight.

Also, as taste is subjective and that list was compiled from numerous members on ecf, personal preference could be vastly different than those suggested starting points.

Not sure I understand how the math is needlessly complicated, 10% in 10mL is 1mL of flavor. 16% is 1.6mL, 18% is 1.8mL, so on and so fourth. And if your blend is OK at 10%, then that's fine, but if it's too weak or too strong, it's hard to recalculate the math at those levels to even off, and besides, that TFA thread shows good % that I assume multiple people have used from not only Reddit, but ECF as well.

I agree on the taste being subjective. It's hard to accurately gauge the proper flavor. I've used that ECF chart and it's worked fairly well, it's some of the recipes that are NOT very good depending on taste, imo. Thanks for the input:)

500ml of 100mg nicotine (gloves glasses and other safety equipment not shown) 500 ml of pg and vg. Flavors include most of the tobacco flavors and fruity flavors. My favorite so far is the captain black flavoring with 3 parts captain black, 1 part raisin, 1 part dark graham cracker. Not sure if this is similar to Bobas but I liked the idea of it.

Will do, I can't wait to try all of them. My favorite so far is teaberry, holy crap is it good. It is a bit weird though as it doesn't look like a homogeneous solution (looks like shaken up oil in water) still vapes great though.

You're gonna need more syringes.
