Popping my DIY cherry and confused.

[TheLiqidator]

Hi all,

I've just found POTV this week, I've been vaping for a few years but have never bought anything online or even looked online as there were plenty of shops around me. Decided I'd been spending a bit too much recently and have spent the last few days trying to work out where and what was best to buy. I've just ordered 10 concentrate's and all the other stuff I'll need to pop my DIY cherry.

The ones I got were mainly dark arts and most are saying about 5% for a single concentrate or 2% if part of a recipe but a lot of other sites and recipes are saying about 20% flavour for a final recipe. What percentage of flavouring are you guys using on average?

Cheers

Welcome to the forum,Dark Arts are flavourart concentrates from what i understand,thier concentrates tend to be stronger than a lot of others so i would suggest that the 5% is more the area you want to be at...some the flavourart concentrates can be used as low as 2-3% tirimasu as an example.
For that brand ( i've not tried any darkarts yet) i would mix a few small 5/10ml samples one at 5% and one at 7% and see which direction you want to go from there.

Thanks, looks like my to Google list just got bigger. I'll find a way of making this work related! Couldn't help but laugh when I noticed your name after I read that you don't mix!

Thanks, I just got a bit confused when some were so high compared to others. I got my bottles off of Ibottles but got a kit after it that has a few 10ml bottles so I'll do that first.

Different concentrates work at different percentages, even within one company's flavours. Dark Arts (FlavourArt) are stronger than most but If you list the concentrates you have we may be better able to advise.

Cheers, the 10ml test suggested above is a great idea that I hadn't though about.

You could also mix the samples without nicotine - with the price of nic these days that would be a big saving.
