The "What can I make?" feature in the recipe app doesn't work as I expect

I’ve now added all of my whopping 62 flavors into my stash. Don’t laugh, I need another storage vessel. I have 2 bottles more than I can store!

So, I ask what I can make and I get a boat load of results that include, strawberry, pineapple and a bunch of other stuff that’s just not in my stash. AND I tell it not to include more than 0 items that are not in my stash.

Any chance I could talk some of y’all into looking at my stash and creating a few recipes for me? You’ll see from what’s in my stash and my current recipes, what I like.

I don’t remember how many recipes I have, but none have any flavor to speak of.

Yesterday I made a few one shots at 15 ml. Caramel, brown sugar, vanilla ice cream… I made them for pods hoping the higher PG will help carry the flavors.

Fascinating! I told the “What can I make?” app to include up to 1 missing flavor and I got 10 recipes and only ONE had a missing ingredient. Banana.

I’d have thought I could make a lot more than that.

Hmph. Guess I misunderstood what a “one shot” is. I thought it was ONE flavor.

I made several bottle with one flavor only.

As soon as I get back from the hardware store with some flying insect murderer’s spray I’m going to make some single flavor bottles at varying %'s.

62 flavours is how it starts before long you’ll be looking at drawers and cupboards thinking “I can fit concentrates in there.”

The recipe finder thing can be frustrating honestly. Half the time it suggests recipes with flavours you don’t even own.

From what you described, I’d probably focus on simpler mixes first instead of stacking loads of flavours together. Caramel, brown sugar and vanilla ice cream already sounds like a solid base for a pod recipe, especially with higher PG.

Sometimes weak flavour is just from overcomplicating recipes or running percentages too low for pods.

:wink: In my VAST experience I thought a one shot was just a single flavor. Not so much, I’ve read.

Some of the mixes (The most resents) were from @OldGoat and even those have next to no flavor.

I’m wondering. For over a year I have been trying to make juice, but every one, made me cough BAD! It was suggested that it’s because my lungs are so trashed from smoking for almost 70 years.

Sucked on suckers and used the patch to ween off the nicotine. Don’t recall, maybe a month or so later took a drag and no cough at all. Makes me wonder if my lungs are still too trashed to taste anything.

In the mean time, I’ll make a few bottle of single flavors at different %'s.

I have a pod that I bought a handful of empty cartridges for, for testing.

I have an RDA, but the cotton I have it too fat. Can’t pull it through the coils without bending the coils. I’ll have to make the time to learn, but right now I have 3 projects sucking up my time.
