More Concentrate for stronger flavour?

[Louay]

Advice needed

About to mix up a load of Purple Slush. site recommends < 20% of concentrate.

Will concentrate of 25% make end product taste stronger? Or more concentrate doesn’t necessarily mean stronger tasting ejuice? (Like adding too much ribena, it’ll end up muting the flavour)

knowledge and advice welcomed

Thanks

Mix some up at 15% and 25% and try them to see if it makes a difference.. You can add them together to get 20% if neither is what you want.

Thanks for reply bud, was just wondering if going higher than recommended does make the juice stronger?

Trial and error really, sometimes it works, sometimes the liquid will taste rank, or as you've already mentioned perversely the flavour can become muted.

always best to trial by mixing 10ml only as then you dont waste too much if it doesnt work out.
maybe up it by 1 or 2ml instead of 5ml to start. as said its trial and error when mixing.

Some flavour houses produce more concentrated flavours it`s best to know whose flavour concentrates you`re using, there`s a guy on here user name @SessionDrummer who`s had a load of experience in DIY, perhaps if you dropped him a DM he could help you out

It’s a great question, and it’s important to understand that increasing the percentage of concentrate doesn’t always result in a stronger or better flavor. In fact, as you mentioned, it can have the opposite effect, muting the flavor instead of enhancing it—just like overdoing Ribena.

The strength of the flavor in the final product depends more on the concentrate’s quality and how well it is formulated to work at specific percentages. Most concentrates are optimized to deliver the best flavor profile within a recommended range, which in this case is <20%. Pushing beyond that range can overwhelm the balance of ingredients and lead to off-notes or even a less enjoyable vape overall.

It’s worth starting at the lower end of the recommended percentage and adjusting gradually. If you feel the flavor isn’t strong enough, try steeping it longer, as this often enhances the flavor without the need to increase concentrate. Always keep in mind that more is not always better when it comes to e-liquids. Experiment, but stay within the limits for the best results!
