Looks good. Don't forget to use that ethyl maltol you got hidden away in the corner, 4-5 drops per 10ml really helps with fruit flavors.

Thanks. Great advice! I can't wait to give it a whirl. But I have a huge learning curve to battle so I'm sticking with recipes before going rogue.

I'd definitely suggest trying out the flavors by themselves before mixing. And I have been using e-liquid-recipes.com to find recipes searching by what flavors I have. So if you search for tfa strawberry ripe, it brings you to this page. If you go to the bottom it will show you all the recipes that use tfa strawberry ripe. Just note that tfa is usually called TPA on there.

This sub is good, but the number of recipes on here and the search feature leaves a bit to be desired. ECF has a gigantic tfa recipes thread, its good once you navigate past all the filler.

I'm still kind of new to this myself (about a month), but I've had a lot of success so far. I have like 5 recipes I've been loving. The EM definitely helps fruit flavors pop a bit. But any questions you got I'd be glad to try and help.

EM mutes flavors over time - With fruits a good way to "pop" them is citric acid :)

I don't make big enough batches for them to last long enough to get muted. I just mentioned it cause the EM comes with the nn starter kit he has.

Cool :) I use EM in one of my custards that I also vape pretty fast ;D

Haha I forgot I had that in my kit too. And here I was waiting on citric acid. This should do the trick for my small trial batch. Thanks for sharing!

No problem, it really improves all my fruit flavors in a nice subtle way.

Why is your VG all brown?

Probably just looks like that from the color of the wall.

I believe it's refracted light from the camera flash hitting the three brown bottles in the front of the VG. Look clear in person.

When I first got my starter kit this was my favorite:

3% Very Berry 1% Ethyl Maltol

Its kind of mild but it was good for me.

I used to wear gloves and goggles when I first started, now I live dangerously and use my bare hands.

I'm not using any nicotine currently but I will have safety gear for all nicotine (100mg) operations.

Yeah, I don't use gloves or goggles when I make juice for myself with 100mg. I've even gotten it on my hand!

Obviously I suggest using safety equipment, but don't make yourself too crazy over it.

But definitely use gloves and such for cleanliness if making juice for others.
