hi there newbie here after some advice on d.I.y

[fishwicket79]

Ordered 4 concentrates off vapours r us.cherry raspberry pear drops and the renown skittlesand all I can say is I'm very very disappointed.they all have hardly any flavour.pear drops is the only one that taste a little how it should.what is the deal here,are vapours are concentrates just very poor or am I doing something wrong haha.would the flavours apprentice concentrates be a much better option.thanks

I've just had a look at the site and pear drops is one of the flavours listed as extremely strong, so I'd say the remainder are very poor.

30ml for £2.99 is just too cheap, these are probably food flavourings rather than bespoke vaping ingredients.

Most brands are hit and miss, with some very strong flavours and some very weak ones.

Have a look at Dark Star, their PA/FA are £3.50 for 30ml.

Sounds that you need better quality concentrates. Have a look in the Mixology section of the Forum, there is a great list of recommended suppliers for DIY mixing, including concentrates:

Have a look at the one hit wonders on chefs vapour, really nice and cheap.

Hi,
I ordered some of their concentrates on eBay and they aren't as strong as they say.

Vapeable sell good quality concentrates from different brands like Capella, Perfumer's Apprentice and T-Juice concentrates. http://vapable.com/

I've used those concentrates and I think they are OK. You will need up to 20% though. Also, bear in mind that while they are called flavourings, generally, they give you aroma more than flavour so a small amount of sweetener or sour will bring a fruit juice to life.

If your using 20% of concentrate in your mixing, they should be fine. If there not. I would say they are poor quality. I use TFA, CAPPELLA or flavour west. Not had no problems with taste so far with the flavours I've used. I agree with mental, some flavours are stronger than others. Start with 10ml batches to see how strong the flavours are.

Sorry pal. Seems I'm trolling people. I don't know how or why it's happening

+1 for vapable, free delivery orders over £10 and coupon code diy5 for 5% discount. I've also just tried rainbowvapes, got some inawera flavours which recommend quite low percentages, just tried 5% to start with but steeping currently so haven't tried yet.

I mostly use these brands too, normally at about 15%.
thee-cigstore.co.uk is good for concentrates.
