Initial testing of individual flavours?

submitted almost 10 years ago by SpooledRotten

So I just bit the bullet and bought 45 flavours to start DIY . What's a good % to start for testing the flavouring by itself to get a feel for it?

I use 1, 3 and 5 to start and if it needs more then I try 7, 8.5 and 10 but someone will know a lot more than me and reply :-)

What manufacturer makes the flavors, what type of flavors are they(fruit, coffee, tobacco, cream, pastry, citrus, etc..) and what device do you plan on making juice for?

I have both Capella and TFA. I have about 30 from Capella that are more dessert/custard type things and 15 from TFA that are mostly fruits

Try them in the 5-7% range.

I'd try them at various percentages at increments of one until you find the one you like. If you don't want to do this though, just check ELR for the recommended standalone percentage.

With FW, TFA, and CAP, you can usually start at 4-5%, but even those manufacturers have flavors where that's way too strong, so it's hard to say.

With FLV, FA, INW, and HS 1-2% is usually a good starting point.

Generally speaking, use these starting percentages and work up (or down) from there...

FA/FLV/INW - 1%
TFA/CAP/FW - 5%

More specifically, you can search for the specific flavoring at ELR and on the flavor's page look for the median % for single flavor. They are usually at least in the ballpark. If there are multiple listings for the flavor you are researching, pick the one used in the most recipes.

5% is a good starting point.
