Hi ! Welcome to VU :) It takes a lot of work searching through the recipes with limited flavors, trust me I know. Have you tried any of these flavors solo?
You should try them at a low percentage and work your way up to what you like. Get used to the flavors that they are because not one company flavor is the same. Strawberry, blueberry, caramel, green apple, and butterscotch to me are good stand alone flavors. Once you get used to the flavors add a little bit here and there to see if you like any of them together. Take notes or look at the flavor reviews posted here, they are extremely helpful. Best of luck :)

Ive tried a few alone. My only confusion is when I like one at a certain percentage and want to add a new one what percentage of that do I add? Do I take away from the one I currently like at its percent?

Listing the brands of your flavors would help some;).

Cinnamon Roll 3-5% all by itself (or add some to Apple Pie types)
Short steep 24hrs

Berry Crunch 2-5% (depending on how strong you want it)
French Vanilla 2%
Milk 1%
Malted Milk 1%
(steep for 3-5days)

Sub out the Berry Crunch above with either Strawberry or Blueberry at 5%.
Strawberry should steep for a week but the Blueberry only needs 24hrs.
Banana or Golden Pineapple should work too, probably 2-3% range to start.

I did berry crunch 7% Strawberry 6% blueberry 5% and malted milk at 4% searched flavors and did median percentage. It'll prob take a week or so to steep but I suppose it's trial and error. We'll see!

Yep, it's all trial and error with this stuff.

I don't like to use those charts as I feel most are too high, for me anyway.
That particular one you made I'd have cut it in half myself.
Just that think 11% total is more within reason for that recipe, and the brands being used are just another factor to add in to the mess.
Just as a clue, 22% total flavoring for only 4 flavors is too high IMO, especially when 3 out of the 4 are fruits.
Unless they're really crappy flavors, :eek:.

Lol it smells good. I just love flavor, but understand too much is bad. Should I keep my numbers around 11% if this turns out terrible? Or is that your opinion?

That would be my best guess, at least it's worth a shot anyway.
But I just don't think those flavors will work together personally, but ya never know till you try them.

I tried them prior but much lower percentage and it's decent, but all I taste is crunch berry and nothing else. I'm shooting for a milk after taste
If I don't get it this round I'll prob raise milk to 6% and drop the rest down 1%

Think you'll need to get some other flavors for the Dairy to shine through.
Lowering the Berry Crunch to 2-3% and leaving the rest alone might help.
It's hard to balance the fruits properly and it may take some experimentation.

BTW: If you're using plain TFA Strawberry, it's one of the weaker ones and not used very much.
Better versions of Strawberry
INW Shisha Strawberry
TFA Strawberry Ripe 3% + CAP Sweet Strawberry 2-3% mixed together

Stronger Blueberries, (can mix 2 or 3 together also)
TFA Blueberry Wild
CAP Blueberry
FW Blueberry

Very good info. So say I keep this formula but add double berries, do I split them in half? To still maintain the 6%?

Once your current mix has steeped for a week you can then tell the whole story better.
The Strawberry flavor might start to show up after steeping a week.
And the Berry Crunch may mellow out some in a week too, but I doubt it.
Therein lies the trouble with some of these as sometimes the flavors will change over time.
Some get stronger, and some will fade, but not always, lol, nice confusing answer.

Next batch I'd start by just reducing the Berry Crunch down to 3% if that's all you can taste after steeping.
The Blueberry at 5%, and the Strawberry at 5%, are still valid amounts when used alone anyway.
Just not sure which one will win when mixed together:D.
At least getting the total flavoring under 20% might help.

Are these all TFA flavors of something else?

You can use e-liquid-recipes.com to add flavors to your "stash" and then it will tell you what recipes you can make from your stash. The first time I made my stash, I just typed the flavors I had in and it didn't turn anything up for me. If you type a little bit of the name and wait, a dropdown menu will populate and you can select your flavor from it.
