how much concentrated flavour to add

[frank 133]

This might be another stupid question,but since buying this mixing kit,[I have mixed four flavours.
The bubblegum is about the best,20% flavouring,
butter scotch is sort of okay.
chocolate chip and vanilla have no taste,you cant even tell which is which.
I am using PG/VG at 50-50,and 18mg nicotine strength,I am also using the mixing calculator.
how much flavouring should I use for a 10ml bottle ,thanks

It really depends on which brand flavour it is. Some are happy at 2%, others nearer 30%

I think I am not using enough flavour, [ I did read somewhere start at 10% flavour,] I will add extra [quite a bit] and see how it turns out, thanks for your speedy reply.

I mix my fruit flavors at about 25% but it would be a lot less lets say with licorice,maybe 5 or 10%,depends on the flavor and supplier.

Thanks,now you come to mention it,the first two flavours were from the same supplier I bought the mixing kit off
The chocolate and the vanilla [the ones with no taste ] came from someone else in the market place.
I think I will keep to the one vendor,[my wife says it smells like charlies chocolate factory in this room,]cheers.

Totally depends on the concentrate and supplier. In my opinion, a stand alone flavour mixed at higher than 20% with no result seems very high.

Be aware. Flavours can have a tendancy to develope in varying ways over time. Flavours mixed, then shaked and vaped straight off may have very weak flavour, left for a week and all the flavours you expected to be there that weren't can start to come through. Most fruit flavours in general seem to be good from the start. Tobacco's can change drastically over 7 days!

My advice. Keep the cap on and leave in a warm, dark place for a few days. Alternatively place in a hot but not scalding bath (thermos is ideal) until the water goes tepid and remove, then sample again the next day. Make sure your bottle isn't totally full and that it doesn't sink as it may let in water! Let me know how it goes..

Good luck

Thanks Buffalo mate,I will give that a try,I will let it steep for a while,[I think you have a valid point [the bubblegum I mixed improved after leaving it alone for a few days,I even tried chocolate flavour at about 70% tonight,not good.
cheers for the advice.
