Just wanted to follow-up... I gave this another taste today, and still, almost no flavor at all. I think the percentages are just too low, even after 2 wks steeping. I'll probably give up on this one for a while and maybe get back to it later, since lemon really isn't one of my favorites; got a blueberry recipe I wanna try instead of spending anymore time on this right now.

I saw on the local TV news the 1000th gunshot victim this year was recorded today in Chicagostan. Just in case i caught a stray, I thought I had better get moving and sample & report on these 2 mixes made last month.
With my usual base...
3.5% INW Lemon Cake
1% FA Torrone
---
3.5% INW Lemon Cake
1% FA Saffron
While both had good cake flavor in the finish, the middle cake texture notes had significantly decreased. From sampling other INW Lemon cake mixes after they had aged a week, the overall lemon flavor of these two while certainly noticeable, had muted. The lemon high notes with the Saffron mix had more greatly been reduced and replaced with faint floral notes. These were especially more apparent on the exhale. With only faint saffron flavor notes, for me, I think boosting the FA Saffron to 1.5-1.7% may be in order.
With 4 weeks of aging smoothing out both the lemon and overall flavor profile, I am enjoying these more than ever.

Hi I read you do 3% mix of lemon cake . How do you go about this .. What after you just take what's needed from the diluted lemon cake .. Is it this strong , I've not used as it .. Very interestedOkay, I just made some.."as is" and Boy was that a Lot of work!
First I had to find my bottle of pre-made @ 3% INW Lemon Cake. Then I laboriously measured out 5 mls of that into another bottle And popped in the 3 drops of FA Torrone.
Now, after shaking it up, I am taking a well deserved nap.

I use the ejuice me up calculator to make some stand alone and then take some of that stand alone to make various other mixes. (Again using that calculator & some simple math.)
For example, in the case of my changing the stand alone mix from 3 to 3.5% for a 5ml sample I plugged different numbers into the calculator. I changed the volume to 5ml and hit recalculate. That shows me the # of drops contained in 5mls of the mix at 3%. I then wrote done the # of drops of flavor showed. I then changed the flavor % to 3.5% and again hit recalculated. I wrote down the # of drops at that % level, subtracted the # of drops used at the initial 3% level and added the resulting # of drops to the 5ml sample.
INW Lemon Cake @ 3-3.5% to me is pretty much in line strength wise to many other flavors they sell. A bunch depends on individual tastes. Perhaps the best current example would be the fine INW Strawberry Shisha flavor. On a stand alone basis some folks enjoy it at 2-3% and others 8-12+%.
