Catalog for flavors. Grams. Weight.

submitted about 7 years ago by bvance1977

I am new to mixing and I am looking for a catalog on Flavor concentrates or percentages. Capella. Flavor art. TFA. Flavor West. A friend of mine said that there is a catalog due to flavor concentrates. Weight and Grams

For percentages, check ATF, ELR or our flavor reviews.

For weights, just assume 1 ml = 1 gram for everything that does not contain VG.

I'm puzzled why you were getting downvotes.

They are indeed.

Probably because nobody actually uses specific gravities for their recipes. We assume 1ml=1g. It's easier that way, and if you use specific gravities with somebody elses recipe, you will be making it wrong.

Thank you to everyone who helped me. I'm really trying to learn from the best and I struggle with numbers and percentage

Use ATF and the percentages just get entered in to the calculator and it'll give you the proper weight to measure out of each ingredient. Couldn't be easier. Even for people scared of numbers.

Let's just say somebody is using 0. 53 grams of capella cheesecake. I guess where I'm lost is how or where do they get that number from

I'm not used to seeing the odd numbers like that. What I'm used to seeing is 1% 2% 8% 6% and so on. So pretty much what I'm trying to say is that 0. 53 throws me off a little bit and confuses me

Every flavor has a different density to it (so weight in grams of the flavor per milileter or whatever amount is used to measure), different concentrates weigh more or less than others. In terms of mixing a recipe, the weight you see (like 0.53g for say 3%) means that in the total volume of the end mix, that entire bottle will be 100%, and 3% of that is that specific flavor. That 3% weighs 0.53g. Another flavor that maybe have a higher density will actually weigh maybe like 0.57g at 3%, etc. The calculators typically determine this for you, you just have to mix using a scale and put in enough drops to match what weight the calculator tells you it should be at that %. The calculator sites get these weights by contacting the flavor companies or doing their own tests to see the densities of each flavor. As for recommended %, it varies from each flavor. Some are weaker or stronger and need higher or lower % due to that, plus it comes down to personal tastes. The weight of 3% flavoring in a mix will be less in a 30ml batch than in a 120ml batch, because it's a % and proportional to how much you make.

Am I helping at all or am I completely misinterpreting your question? D:

The flavor wiki but I know you think there’s something that’s going to tell you what % to use each one at, and while the flavor reviews do, not every flavor is there and then you have to go to elr / atf and check the %’s everyone is using.
