I find Passion Fruit and Dragon Fruit a bit weird because if i mix them as single flavours they seem strong flavours but for some reason can disappear in a mix but find they work well together!

Just ordered Dragonfruit to try and work on that passionfruit juice flavouring, CAP Double Chocolate, CAP Cool Mint and Aniseed - housemate did not really like the Blackjack Vintage, I think it was ok - the only fact it was a fail cos the nicotine in the juice was too high and he couldn't handle it, I couldn't either... So the ones we've made is going down the drain. Also needed more nicotine so added that as well.
Now I need to work on a recipe to make him his licorice flavoured sweet in vape form.
I'm thinking the following:

I'm thinking the following:
- CAP Sweet Cream
- Aniseed
- Super Sweet
Might be the nicotine or combination of that and mixed too strong i find it a very potent flavour so don't use much and only mix at 2mg, that creamy Aniseed looks good!
I tend to use Vintage with fruit for a fruity Blackjack or something more adventurous!
He does not like fruit of any sort so that's out. He's very picky.
Meaning "Picky", a polite term for someone who's a pain in the ass!
Then I must be one too as I'm also picky. LolMeaning "Picky", a polite term for someone who's a pain in the ass!
Personally I think it's the nicotine that's too high, flavour-wise it is ok.
So I got my goodies
Mixed Peppermint Crisp - still tastes great as always.
remixed the Passionfruit juice - replaced Honeydew melon with Dragonfruit - on the taste test, it's exactly the flavour I was after but I haven't test-vaped it yet as I need to drain my one tank first and rewick for the passionfruit test.
Next I'll be working on the Aniseed sweet ejuice.

Tested the passionfruit - I think it needs steeping for about a week but it certainly does have the flavour I was after.
I am unsure about the aniseed - 5% and I can barely taste it. So I'm gonna give it a week steep before trying again. It also has 1% CAP Sweet Cream and 0.5% Super Sweet.

Always do just 10ml when it's a new recipe and only mix a larger quantity once i know i like it, it avoids wasting loads of ingredients if it doesn't turn out or needs altering before the final e-liquid!
it's in a 100ml bottle. It's all I have at the moment.
I did at first mix the 3%, it did smell great and taste great but once I put the PG in, the flavour got diluted so I added another 2%. Perhaps I should have chucked in the whole 10ml concentrate in.
I was just thinking aloud about you throwing all that Blackjack mix would of made sense doing a 10ml mix first and then only doing the 100ml once you were happy with it! Another really good Passion fruit is Passion Flower by Inawera which although sounds floral to me is just a stronger Passion fruit flavour!
Wizardvapes are expensive for concentrates but good place to get bottles if you don't want to wait for cheaper from China!

I find the 10ml unicorn bottles ideal for doing a tester of a new recipe but also use them to decant to, would rather carry a 10ml bottle when out and about rather than a 60ml!

Shouldn't need 10% especially if also adding dragon fruit probably be ok with that 5% you have there after a weeks steep!
No, you’re getting it wrong.
Dragon fruit is mixed with the passion fruit, WS23 and super sweet. This is exactly what I wanted.
the aniseed is separate with the sweet cream and super sweet, in its own bottle. The flavour seems to be muted for some weird reason.
He wanted 9mg nicotine and I was against it but he insisted so now he’s learnt his lesson - high nic doesn’t guarantee a smooth vaping experience. He tested the others which are 3mg nic and has decided mine are better
Yeah i know!
ok a chance to set the record straight now that I'm typing from my PC.
Here are the recipes I used (this one has been tweaked from another recipe).
And the aniseed one - this is the only aniseed concentrate I could find on Vapable (their own brand one). On the site, it was recommended to mix at 15% ???
LOL Something weird just happened.Meaning "Picky", a polite term for someone who's a pain in the ass!
@Timwis he's asking what other flavours? I told him that I know he doesn't like fruit but he says it depends on which fruit. He does not like my passionfruit juice so that's fine, more for me. Lol.
We have both just decided that my next order I should just order Blackjack Vintage and Aniseed to add more licorice flavouring to make it better. I don't think we can work on either one of them on its own so this is the next time I am going to be doing. Another guy on the Vapable group said to just use Aniseed straight up - 10ml bottle for 100ml decanting bottle. But he brought up something that I had not even thought about - the nic shots that I get is 18mg (1.8mg per ml) and he says that the base nic should be 1.8mg for calculation. So now I'm a bit confused as I've always calculated 18mg to get the 3mg I wanted on my ejuice calculator. I've never had issues with my nic except maybe when I went a big high for his one juice which was a complete fail.
Lol, add a bit of Rum and Bourbon and all of a sudden fruit will be ok!
Yeah i knew what you where mixing just didn't think you would need more than 5% Passion fruit (deffo not 10%) but didn't realise you were only using 1% Dragonfruit!

I only purchased one on their brand name and it was the aniseed one - first time and I had no choice in the picking as it was the only aniseed available. It smells nice, on taste it’s strong but vaping it is weaker. I put all 10ml in and not much difference. Slightly stronger but give it a week and then I’ll tell you what it is like.
Yeah it is kind of where I want the flavour to be - I think it does need some working on - maybe some more WS23. Super Sweet is on par - coil getting owned just after a few days. Lol. Don't care, I like it.
I also tweaked the Orange Mango one as I was not really liking it at all. Added 5 drops of CAP Juicy lemon, 5 drops of CAP Super Sweet and 10 drops of WS23 - I think this is going to be a good one to vape.
Just test vaped the orange mango modification - really nice. I've updated my recipe - tastes like a proper orange juice.
