wow, that is a lot of mixologists. I think it would be awesome if diy_ejuice did more collaborative testing. Think we could pick a list of a dozen recipes, and actually have several people review and tweak each one?

edit: Hows this for a more detailed proposal? By some method (contest mode thread, infinite wisdom of the mods, etc) we pick 12 recipes with 12 different creators/submitters for testing.

Anyone who wants to participate will pick a recipe, mix it exactly as described, and try making one or more variants (increase/decrease a flavor, add a sweetener, etc) and post feedback. These submissions would look like:

> Tried this in 20/80 pg/vg at 3mg/ml nic on a 10W kayfun, and its good, though I think it has more some flavor than the original its cloning. The flavor and flavor are very noticable, and the flavor adds a nice background/finishing note. I tried boosting flavor to 3% total volume, which I like better, but I think takes it even farther from the original thing it was trying to clone. I don't have any, but maybe try TFA flavor instead of CAP?

The original submitter of the recipe will be in charge of consolidating the feedback for that recipe, and spotting any consensus the testers seem to reach. It will be important to keep this part detached from personal preferences of the creator to some extent. Even if you disagree with the majority, finding out that most vapers like caramel more or less than you do is valuable information. For one recipe, we would probably get a lot of conflicting reports, with a few good points of agreement. It would also be great to have feedback on one recipe across many devices and wattages. It might get boiled down to something like:

> No one agrees on how much banana this needs, but most testers like it with a little more vanilla. It also appears to be more popular among users with drippers, suggesting RTA users might want to boost all the flavors slightly. It was called "banana split" so a lot of testers tried adding a chocolate note, but mostly report it covers up the banana too much.

I would do a ton of work to help this process along if I could get data like this on a recipe I've made eventually. It would be awesome to have a dozen people pick it apart and find that special something I haven't been able to quite nail down.

Nearly ran out of juice waiting for a scale and pipettes to arrive from Amazon myself!

Hey nothing wrong with being a little broken, eh? :D
