One burning question

[Warpig68]

Hi all

I'm new to mixing, started last week and having a blast doing it. I now want to blend a couple of flavours to make a flavour that I've vaped in a pre-mixed juice.
The juice in question was Mr Chadwicks Chocolate Limes, I simply adore that flavour.
So, I have a bottle of chocolate and a bottle of Lime and I'm going to attempt to blend it up.
My question, do I keep both liquids at the stated doses and add them together (e.g 10% + 5%) that would make a whole 15% of the mix just flavouring. Or should I be looking to add a lesser percentage of each to make say a total of 10% flavouring. I'm thinking that 15% of just flavourings is going to be very PG heavy time I've added nic.
Is there a generally accepted maximum percentage that flavourings should account for in a mix i.e 10% 15% or maybe even more?
Trying to get my bearing with this, any advise appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Concentrate percentages can range from as low as 5% to as high as 25% or even 30% in extreme cases. Often, the determining factor can be the strength of the individual concentrate. Some concentrates are very ...err... concentrated and some are not. Take a look at https://alltheflavors.com/flavors and type in your particular concentrate. If it has been used by other DIYers, the average percentage used will be displayed along with other useful information.

With regard to your intention to create a copy of a commercial juice like Mr Chadwicks chocolate limes, you should be prepared to be a little bit dissapointed if you think the juice was put together using just two concentrates. Chocolate and Lime. Mixing simply isn't like that. A typical juice can contain anything from 3 up to 15 different concentrates. A simple chocolate concentrate will often just taste of Cocoa, which on it's own is a bitter experience. The juice will most likely contain other creams and sweeteners and, god knows what, to get the end result.

Manufacturers rarely divulge their recipes to the general public so experienced mixers spend months, even years trying to clone commercial juices. With as many as two or three thousand concentrates out there, you can imagine getting it exactly right is nigh on impossible.

Superb, thanks Cliffyboy that's just the answer I was looking for, things are clearer now.
Wow that All the flavours site is a beast. Going to spend some time perusing it and get my ducks in a row.
Thanks a lot.

There are some concentrates they needn’t less than 1%.

@Warpig68 , if you have % you like as single flavours, reduce them a bit when you blend them.
