Flavour strengths for the uninitiated

[Fleabag]

After last night's disaster with the Mango juice, do the experiened have any advice about flavour concentrates that are very stronger or weaker than average that require a lot of compensating for in blends?

http://wiki.planetofthevapes.co.uk/wiki/Guide_To_Flavouring Have you had a look at this? More is being added daily.

I had read through that, but most of my flavours aren't from any of these suppliers. I was thinkking more of generally any flavours that tend towards the strong or weak, regardless of manufacturer

There would be no possible way to even offer a baseline for something like that.


This LorAnn MCC I have is .2ml per 5ml

and the Cupcale world is nearly 2.5ml per 5ml



Youd be giving out a 1%-50% guesstimate for every flavour out there, which doesnt really help anyone...


best idea, is review your flavour concentrates and submit the information so I can add it to the Wiki?

 

[Fleabag]

Fair enough - I think I'd need a while to get accustomed to what an "average" strength might be. I'll add information when I have some experience

I always advise, to start small, test after 24 hours, make adjustments, test again in 24 hours and so on, until its where YOU like it.

I started small with the LorAnn only because of information in the Wiki and I am glad I did. I have two other MCC Flavours here, that I use in between 10-20% and the LorAnn is 1-2%


The great thing about vaping and DIYing, there are always choices and LOTS of them available!

However, as all my flavourings came from this website's marketplace, it would be so helpful if anyone with experience could add information on "28 Vapes Later"/"28 Cupcakes Later" concentrates (unless I'm missing something and they're there under a different name). I have a few of other suppliers/manufacturers, but all came from the Marketplace.

Wow KMS, just had a look at the wiki page, really useful guide. Never knew it existed, thanks.

Apart from the obvious hazard of putting far too much of a strong flavour in (as last night), I suppose I'm worried about weakening the nicotine solution too much by having to make too many additions in the adjustments, as I'm working blind, being so new to it.

 

[KulrMeStoopid]

Always perfect your flavours before adding them to the nicotine.


When I mix with nicotine, I always use a stronger nic base than what I normally smoke to allow for the dilution of it. 1-5mg wont make too much of a difference to be honest.
