this i hope does not offend anyone as it purely my view. i respect anybody who makes juice.i put together a lot of mixes, i do not use nicotine.i am always amazed when i see a recipe that has say 12 different ingreadiants, and more so when some of these have say 2 different oranges or strawberries etc. i have done layering and i know different companies product of the same flavour are different, but i cannot see the point of making a 30ml mix so complicated. am i wrong?

Not offended at all. Some flavorings only bring out certain attributes of the flavor especially strawberries and vanillas, but when combined, bring in the whole flavor. Other flavors are added for mouthfeel or to add some body to the mix.
That's the beauty of DIY. It doesn't matter if it has 20 flavors or just a few. You can make something that tastes good to you!
Yrs and no, after 45 years of smoking, my tastebuds are near dead. I can't taste the nuances others can. On the other side I don't pick up the off notes that some do, I get unvapable, vapable and off the hook. I do find that some flavors work better together (Blood Orange FW & Rpyal Orange FA) , multiple strawberries etc. YMMV
I do get your point of the mixing only 30ml of juice. I go through such a small amount quickly.
I mix 120 to 240 ml at a time. I do use nicotine, and have enough to last me for the rest of my life (depending on how long I live).
Generally, I only use up to 4 flavorings per bottle. Hubby likes his Pina colada with a bit of banana flavor added in. I like my blackberry custard with different elements from time to time to break the monotony.

I think my most "complicated" recipe has 17 flavors in it.
If they weren't all needed, I wouldn't use them.
I make e-liquid recipes like I cook - mostly "from scratch" - there are instances where one flavor might take the place of five or six, but I am not going to buy every dang flavor that's out there. I'd rather add the components together to make, for example, a chocolate chip cookie that I like, rather than starting with something called "chocolate chip cookie," and it not taste right and I'd still have to add a half dozen flavors to fix it.

the important thing is you enjoy it, thats all that matters

No ma'am, I do not. I have enough trouble with the 250 flavors I have. Right now they are trapped in a Sterilite drawer chest, behind a monstrous recliner. I don't know how I'm going to get to them when it's time to mix again!
Think I might switch out the contents of some of my vape totes, put those in the Sterlite thing, and put my flavors in totes that can be moved around easier. I also have a tote full of bases, except they aren't in a tote right now, they're just a mess in my living room.

I make 30ml bottles at a time and I use .5 to .6 grams of sweetener to each of my 3 tobaccos. My tobacco flavor is Hangsen USA Mix.
