Seriously, I donāt care either way. I āshareā no recipes, I just post a few here and there in threads once in a while. If someone likes it enough to make it their own, great, Iām flattered I guess. But as far as intellectual property- if I cared that much I would never publish anything anywhere. Get something out in the public domain, and itās feeding the sharks in my opinion.

I agree, I donāt think we need to show an āoriginal recipe byā on the recipe side, I wonder what others think about this.

I agree with that. I donāt mind that āadapted byā thing on ELR but at the same time, I donāt think itās needed. I know that can get controversial if someone is claiming that a straight up adaptation is an original, but anyone with a little ambition can find the date stamps to show which version was first. Of course, I guess I have that opinion because I donāt care what happens to any recipe I chose to publish. I know there are some folks who are highly protective of their creations.

Usually if I make a recipe public itās because itās done being modified and if someone has the stuff to make it then maybe they will, but I have some strange flavors I lean heavily on lol Iām not worried about my recipes being āstolenā, they probably arenāt that good anyway lol. If someone takes one of my public recipes and uses it for profit without crediting me then they are a shitty person, but thatās on them not me, I could give a shit personally lol.

I probably should have mentioned thatās the reason I donāt share mine. Maybe I should, so better mixers could adapt them and fix them up right. Maybe 20% Maraschino Cherry canāt be fixed though.

How original are all those cheesecake, strawberry creations floating around anyway?
People use combinations of various flavours like they do in cooking. I donāt really get what the big deal is with all those people having their knickers in a twist about someone stealing their recipe.

So far Iām not as alone on this as I figured I would be, at least judging by some of the threads over there Iāve read with ass-aching about recipes being stolen.

They were really getting up my tits along with the crying about āsomeone just one starred my recipeā BS.

Off-topic and inappropriate, and I apologize. But I love it when women say things like that. It just isnāt the same when Grubby says it.

I just said it was more, well, reactionary when she says it. Youāre hot, donāt worry.

People seem to forget what the purpose of a rating system is, it is not meant to make people feel good about themselves, itās to help new mixers find recipes that most people enjoy. I have several recipes that I love, and everyone i know that Vapes thinks they taste disgusting lol, but Iām not mixing for them. If someone makes 5 recipes that are well rated and hates all of them they might go back to cigs, or at the very least go back to commercial juice, both are terrible options lol.

Thats why I went with an upvote system, 1 vote per person per recipe, no downvotes, if you donāt like it donāt upvote it.

I like that. Removes all the petty bitterness and spite. So no stars, just a listing of folks who liked it?

I get a lot of my percentages from other mixers. So I would feel like a juice bag by telling anyone they couldnāt use or adapt my recipes. Theyāre public, do with what may (I think thatās how it goes) or even better do what you want with itā¦ write it down, take a picture IDGAFrickorfrack.

You forgot one:
I made it, itās not perfect, and Iām not sharing it until itās perfect, which is looking more like āalmost neverā because I keep having to buy and try flavors which delays working on the damned thing in the first place, because thereās too many flavors I still havenāt tried in trying to make this mix EXACTLY the way I want it!! /whew
Or TLDR, Iām just enjoying the journey.
āIāll worry about it laterā 
Holy fuck thereās just too many options sometimes. And honestly, the āhitsā are hard to find among so many misses (SF wise). And Iām not even talking about complex flavors. Just a solid offering of it being what it says it is on the tin FFS!

As for the whole āoriginal byā vs āadapted fromā bitā¦ I really like the adapted by method. Simply because
A. It gives a nod to the creator (of whatever combination that inspired you).
B. Itās a wonderful way for those with shitty memories to recall āok, now when/where the fuck did I manage to come up with this?ā
C. Itās a wonderfully simple way to find other mixers who might be in line with either your flavor profile, vaping style, or percentages! And those can be lovely tools to latch onto, once you have enough traction and experience under your belt to be able to identify the types at a glance.
These are all JMHO of course, but itās been my experience, and part of how Iāve made use of their system/database over the last couple years.
