Newbie could use some advice

Let me start by saying you veterans are the reason I am jumping into diy juice. I just love the idea of customizing flavors to fit my taste. Thank you all for that.

Now I purchased a complete kit from a local guy that mixed for about 6 years. Awesome guy, and omg a complete kit. Scale, ultrasonic, glass bottles in various sizes, plastic drip bottles, pipettes, syringes and blunt tips. Vg, pg, even a little nicotine. Add to all that get started mixing kit it also came with about 300 tfa flavors in a sweet shelving system.

On top of all this he also included his recipe book. Soooo many recipes.

My question is quite simple actually, and didn't require all this typing.....
His recipes are all between 15-25% of flavoring. He was a strictly tank user in the 1-1.5 ohms range. I however am a straight Dripper kinda guy that stays .30-.09 ohms.

All his recipes I mixed had a very medicine type taste to me. Then I made a 7% recipe off this board. ( headinclouds chocolate marshmallow fudge straight delicious)

Guess I should also say I run alot of different mods and rdas. Mechanical tube mods, and series box mods are my normal go to. My rx200 is my fall back everyday mod as well. Normally hitting between 3.75 - 8.25 volts. I'm also a max vg 3 nicotine guy

So finishing my question should I stay in the below 8-9% total flavoring range?

I'd say cut each recipe in half for dripping...
And test them again.

Ok awesome thanks guys. That's what I was thinking. Dripping seems to be alot less percentage

Consider the amount of vapor you get from dripping vs tank systems. Generally, a well built dripper will put out 4-6 times the thickness of vapor compared to a tank. My personal view is to lower the flavoring to 5% for drippers, no need to over flavor the juice since you will be getting a concentrated cloud in a dripper anyway. Some flavors such as fruit don't do well at high watts, so making a blend with custard helps. Have fun and DIY all the way.

That recipe book would be awesome to take a look at
TFA is pretty easy to work with, once you test each flavor and see how they work with eachother.
Seeing an example of a recipe you are working with could help shed some light on what might be the issue.

This is just one page in the book. Recipes sounds great, but I made this lemon danish with no success on Dripper

Try cutting those top main flavors way down(e.g., raspberry, apple, lemon) and (me personally would) eliminate the sweetener. If your going to use brown sugar, try cutting it to .5-1%.

Awesome thank you. I didn't like the sweetener myself either.

Recipes are only guides. To get a better understanding of your main fruit flavors, try mixing stand alone. If your using TFA, try them between 5-7% and go up or down from there. Then, once you have a better understanding of the main flavor profile and what %'s suit YOUR taste buds, start adding one or two more flavor notes in low %s to see how they react with the main flavor. It's a tedious process, but well worth it in the end. In the mean time, mix a few popular recipes that sound good to you on this forum so you always have something to vape in the meantime and really try to tastes what's going on in the mix and how all the flavors play together and search for each individual flavor as you vape. I find it extremely helpful to actually look at the recipe while I'm vaping it to find the good and weed out the bad while taking notes.

Great tip. I will do that indeed
