Hello Bud
For a start which brand of concentrates are you using and what concentration percentage have you tried. Sounds as though you have overdone it with the percentages maybe.

You do not say what you are trying to mix but you may be trying to be over ambitious for first mixes.
I always recomend mixing single flavours to start with,they will let you work out what sort of concentration of flavour to use.You will also identify which flavours are good as base flavours and which will be used as background flavours.
You can then move on to blending flavours together gradually making more complex flavours.
Drippers make this much easier.
Some of what you have will make good stand alone flavours if you get the concentration right.Find out which they are then try to improve them with other flavours gradually.
This sort of method works for me,I am sure there are other ways that work for others.

The ones that are too strong just make up a flavour free batch and dilute.
Take notes of what you are doing so you can repeat or adapt.
Good luck.You will get there with a little patience.

I am not the one to advise on addatives because I do not use them.
My mixes are all variations on a theme,primarily a mixture of tobacco flavours with different additions, mainly fruits though I have been adding a bit of Digbys Dr Jeckyl to some of them so the next time I order flavours I will be getting some absinth or anise.
I personally do not like most shop bought flavours and do not need to go all over the place with flavours so I am no expert.All I know is that I prefer what I mix to most of what I can buy.
Through the day I will move from baccy baccy to fruity baccy to anise baccy to fruity anise baccy and so on.

I would not throw anything out yet . It may mellow with age or be nice in small doses in another mix.
