hints for first forays into mixing?

[nikki from mars]

I picked up some cheapish unflavored base liquid, only 24mg which is itself weaker than I am currently vaping at, but figured would be good to experiment with. And who knows if it turns out good then I can keep it around for when I chainvape at home and could do with some weaker juices. Any hints (bearing in mind very limited budget and not wanting to try anything too technical yet) probably just initially looking at some flavors I can just add to the base I have. I like fruity and sweet flavours rather than tobacco ones, but may also try the odd random thing too. Thanks in advance.

these are concentrates of flavours you will probably already have bought on the uk market ready mixed...start at 10% flavouring and work your way up to about 15% or 20%

you can work it out in your head without a calculator easy enough, and simple, just one flavouring, somebody has already done the hard work

once you have made a few and are happy, then you can find some bases to work from, capella or mom and pop or perfumers apprentice and play around wiht recipes that use 2 or 3 flavours, like the almost grants vanilla custard and so on...

Good Luck in the Mixing

Personally if you like sweet and fruity I'd go for Capella straigh off. There are loads that are great on their own, really easy to get great results. Most mix at between 15-20%

I tried Capella then tried others,I don't think anything compares to Capella,I'm with you PF.

I like the sweet/fruity flavours and the concentrate I just couldn't be without is butterscotch - it blends well with lots of others (banana, apple, coffee, vanilla, rum etc).

Flavours I thought I'd like often didn't inspire me and those I didn't expect to be firm favourites I really loved. I bought 20 concentrates from the outset, with about 6-7 of them 30ml (the rest 10ml).

You're already vaping, so you know a few flavours you like - start with those as concentrates and have a go at blending some together - just start out with small quantities in case you don't like it or want to tweak ratios a bit after trying it.

I agree 99% of what I been blending and about 90% of them so far have been very decent @ 15% there VC @50/50 steeped for 7 days which I found is best

I made 3 batches as above same day and the 7 day steep tasted best.. the older 2 batch (tested 10 days and 14) the vanillia seems more muted but

all am looking for is a good cappuccino or coffee (mabye more coffee so i can change it up more
