Help with my first mix!

[jamesyboi]

Hey everyone, just got my first diy package in the mail today and I've been messing around a little bit with flavors.

Here is what I picked up. Pretty simple and straight forward, didn't have a lot of money to throw down at the time. I think I can make this work for a couple weeks before I put in another order.

I would really appreciate a few simple mixes I can use to get started. So far I have tried the Strawberry Banana straight, some strawberry and kiwi, and a raspberry cream with both sweet cream and vanilla custard (which isn't half bad honestly).

If I posted this in the wrong forum I apologize and feel free to move it accordingly. Thanks ladies and gents.

edit: my best so far

5% Cap Raspberry
5% FW Kiwi
5% FE Strawberry
3% Sig Sweet Cream

edito 2:

4% Cap Raspberry v2
4% FW Kiwi
4% FE Strawberry
3% Sig Sweet Cream
3% Vanilla Custard

Actually really good

hmm...I've not used any of those flavors by those brands, so can't give percentages.
raspberry + cream + vanilla custard
strawberry + cream + vanilla custard
strawberry banana + cream + vanilla custard
kiwi + cream + vanilla custard
strawberry banana + kiwi + cream

What nic level are you going for?
100mg/ml is pretty strong. With 30ml of it and only 250ml of base, you could turn it into about 280ml of 9.7mg nic/ml

Thanks for the reply. Those seem to be what I've been experimenting with. Just put cream and vanilla in everything and hope for the best lol.
Been trying ~10% strawberry 5% vanilla 4% cream and its going okay. I think they're going to need to steep.

My target nic level is 3mg so I've been trying to put .3mg of nic per 10mL. I dont have perfect measuring yet so im using ~20 drops = 1 mL

Keep in mind the liquid that the nic will add when doing the calculations.

Unless you don't mind it being off a bit. Personal preference though.
9.7ml liquid + 0.3ml 100mg nic = 10ml of 3mg
10ml liquid + 0.3ml 100mg nic = 10.3ml of 2.9mg

All my mixes are generally in the 2-3 range since I'm not die-hard about accuracy since I only make liquid for myself.

Right on, Ive been adding the flavoring and nic before I fill up the rest of the bottle with vg/pg because I know the bottle is 10ml
But I'm not too worried about the nic content either, 2-4 is fine with me.

My only concern is measuring by drops. The drops coming out of these bottles of flavoring seem small in comparison to the size of the drops from a normal size dropper you get with most glass bottles. Tomorrow I'm going to get some actual measuring utensils
