00 When revising a recipe, the specific heat and VG levels our customers are likely to be using for that e-liquid flavor being created are continually taken into account. For instance, when creating a new flavor for our Mister-E-Liquid line of juice - which is a mid-market brand aimed at users of all experience levels. These flavors are typically designed for users with clearomizers, cartomizers, and starter kits; therefore, we test with less extreme levels of heat. Conversely, when designing the Reverb line of performance e-liquids, we test at higher temperatures because Reverb's customer-base tends to use low-resistance coils on RDAs. We wanted to design these flavors so the hotter you vape them, the more the desired flavor would present itself. When using more extreme heat, in excess of 80 watts, Reverb really shines. Tailoring each blend to the desired level of heat dramatically changes the design and process to achieve different results. Once we have a product that has been lab-tested for undesirable compounds and has been revised through multiple iterations of user feedback, recipe changes, and heat testing, the next logical step is reflection. What did we learn from developing this product? We look at how certain flavors behaved when blended with others, at different heat levels, and on different devices: from starter kits to mechanical and/or regulated mods, from drippers to tanks, store-bought coils or hand-made builds. All our impressions and experiences are documented and stored, allowing us to recall the results from our testing. Developing e-liquid is still very much an art form; however, developed with documented, verified, and repeatable processes - from which one can see progress and trends, and draw conclusions - is what separates the professional from the novice. The key part is blending the art and the science to achieve desired results. Mister-E-Liquid LLC is owned and operated out of Grand Rapids Michigan.
