I'm amped up and typing this as it comes to mind. Hopefully this horribly written monologue reaches someone with minimal offense to others.

When I first got into DIY ejuice - like everyone else I thought that you could take TFA - Chocolate and TFA - Banana and make a chocolate banana. Hangsen, Inawara, FlavorArt, Capella, etc#. Out of all those brands and 1000+ flavors you could only ever hope to find a couple dozen flavors that mix the way you think they will. By and far mixing has always been about painstakingly individually sampling flavors, studying the 'molecules' and praying for the best. It has always required painstaking trial-and-error and meticulous notetaking to many anything worth a damn. It's an exercise in frustration, a timesink and a drain on our wallets.

If it wasn't for the efforts of the flavor mixing greats(many of them here, who don't need named) and the co-operation of countless hundeds more we wouldn't have gotten this far.

I'm a busy person. I work onwards of 12 hours a day with hardly a moment to wind-down. Where I once had the time, patience and capacity to study the flavor notes, excel charts, google doc sheets, and bullet points spread all over the internet - I now have none. And not for a lack of desire.

Finally having hopped on the FLV train I can say it eases the crazy. Each flavor I have tried, enjoyable or not mixes, blends, and tastes as you'd imagine. I urge everyone who hasn't done so yet to by a 0.01 scale, 100 plastic bottles, a couple 120ml squeeze bottles and every FLV flavor that piques your interest. If you aren't mixing by weight yet, get out my face.

1. Fill 15ml dropped with 100mg/ml nicotine.
2. Fill 120ml squeezer bottle with 100% VG
3. Put bottle on scale - tare
4. Add 11g of VG - Tare
5. Add juice in 0.10g/1% increments following the recommended percentages on the bottle (which are actually accurate)
6. Add more flavors (that you think will taste good; use caution regarding max flavor percent)
7. Add 0.10g nicotine for every 1mg/ml you want (for 100mg/ml)
8. Shake and vape.

For the ease of others and reduce the shit ratio to valuable information ratio here are some recipes for your benefits.
