Please continue sharing the DIY knowledge gained - in the spirit of the forum - for all to share.
We would love to have @Silver at one of our meets , I would like to post a summary and insight of our meets on the forum to show others what we do and share the knowledge gained and give a bit of insight to those considering the DIY way. One of the main reasons I wanted to start this thread is to support growth in the DIY mixing community as I have realised that it is in the majority a solo mad scientists game. As we ourselves don't know how DIY meets will go, our first meeting will be our foundation and you will help to set it, much excitement!Sharing? No. No one can be told what a "DIY Meetup" is. You have to come and see for yourself. Come on, @Silver , take a red pill.
Great planning @Bunnypoison, really impressive.
Just an idea for DIY noobs (like myself) attending: Bring some 5ml dripper bottles and RDAs if you can.They make mixing and trying small samples and single flavours very easy.
RDA's and dripper bottles are a fantastic idea, I will add it to the event noticeSharing? No. No one can be told what a "DIY Meetup" is. You have to come and see for yourself. Come on, @Silver , take a red pill.

Someone mentioned having a collection for concentrates for the group. If we actually have an abundance of concentrates, we could look into a small collection for 5ml dripper bottles as they can be cleaned and used at every event.5ml bottles found @ West Pack, Lifestyle Garden Randburg shoping center. 5, 30, 50, and 100ml available sizes.
Awesome sauce, looking forward to having you.Keen on joining in. Can't make the first one, but there like a bear for march

And Sandon is not that far away from Greenstone Would be great to have youI would love to attend this meet.
Great idea
We currently have only 2 available spaces left, I can't believe how quick interest in this grew. Thank you everyone for the support in this venture, with such an amazing group of people I believe this will become a huge success!
I would like to find out what flavour profiles you DIYers would like us to discuss at our meetup this Saturday eg. Different strawberries, creams etc. As mentioned before, I will post a summary of our meetup's, discussions and findings to the thread
The First meetup will be
4th February 2017
14:00 - 17:00
Greenstone Hill - East Rand
For those interested to attend, please send me a direct message for further details
Do:
1) Bring your own mixing equipment, Concentrates, juices, RDA's and drippers for tastings
2) Bring along your favourite recipes
3) Make a list of questions, inquiries or recommendations you would like to ask fellow DIYers or give input on improving future meetups
4) Bring along Vapes you are proud of and want to share
5) Bring a bag of chips or a soda
6) Come with a can-do attitude
Don't:
1) Be afraid to ask questions
2) Feel unsure or unprepared that this might be for you, this is to help each other out in the long run.
3) Bring along extra people that were not communicated beforehand (limited space)
MOST IMPORTANTLY LETS HAVE FUN
Yeah I think this specific 'recipe' was a bit of a tall order for a first attempt. but this question still goes, and at least from what I can see I could be on the right track.
This question is a difficult one to answer, I was also thinking about that as this might be a good topic for discussion on the JHB DIY Meet ( @Bunnypoison & @craigb )
So after all comments made, this is how I would go about it if I found / made a fruit juice/smoothie (for a easier example) that I like:
Straberry Lemonade
What flavors:
- Strawberry
- Lemonade
- Something Sour
- Something Cool (Icy)
What dominates:
- Strawberry
Who will these flavors interact?:
- Strawberry is both Ripe and Fresh flavor
- Lemonade will overpower strawberry if its higher than 4%
My 1st Guesstimate:
- 3% Strawberry (for Fresh Flavor)
- 2% Strawberry ripe (For that deep Strawberry taste)
- 2% Lemonade (Coz there is Lemonade)
- 0.5% Dragon fruit (To 'POP' it all and for that soury fruity)
- 0.2% Polar Blast (For the Coolnessss)
....... This actually Looks like it could be a great one!!
Would mix this together and steep for a day or two to taste and Adjust then make V2 Batch.
Lol, guess I have just refined my way of doing it!
As @Andre and @Zodiac said, trial and Error.
Also you would need a good flavor profile of at least most of the flavors ingredients you want to work with, because as mentioned, these flavors change when mixed with certain others and something I have learned is that Mint/Koolada have to be in very low % otherwise it will just overwhelm most other Flavors.
I would like to to to know the treads thoughts on this.You just gave me the best idea that might also solve your problem. As we will all be meeting and have our ingredients, we should have this as a mini recipe challenge at each event. The end juice product discussed as Strawberry lemonade, @alex1501 bringing 5ml dropper bottles and splitting up in teams trying to get the most accurate version of the juice. When every teams creation gets tested on the day and again at the next meet, we should have at least one mix that fulfills the criteria of tasting like Strawberry lemonade and we can have a look at what that team did to get to the final product.
Never tried strawberry lemonade, so I guess you would have to make a real one, to give us a target flavour.I would like to to to know the treads thoughts on this.
