Over ordering!

[hedgehog]

I know I shouldn't have but I got a bit carried away last night on justvape247 and ordered the following.
Pg 250ml
Vg 250ml

Flavour concentrates

Capella
- sweetener
- vanilla custard v2
- banana
- Apple pie
- caramel

Inawera
- Virginia tobacco
- coconut

K.H.
- lemon meringue pie
- butter pecan ice cream

TPA
- oatmeal cookie
- vanilla bean ice cream
- vanilla custard
- nectarine


Really looking forward trying some of the Capella as I've not had any before.
Here are a few things I'm looking to try.

- Oatmeal cookie and vanilla ice cream
- Peaches and ice cream
- An ry4 type but with Virginia tobacco, butter pecan ice cream and caramel
- coconut and banana custard
- Banana, caramel, ice cream, cookie (banoffee pie?)


Also ordered a bunch of 30ml bottles. Last time I mixed things up in 10ml bottles and there was no room to make adjustments.
Next week is going to be a nightmare waiting for it all to steep!
I'll be using a mix of 70/30 vg/pg mix as that's what I seem to enjoy the most.

Any mixology suggestions or tips about mixing these flavours will be very welcome. Perhaps you have found one of these flavours to be stronger or weaker than others.

All the best

Err, I reckon you've under ordered on the diluents ...

You'll find the Inawera concentrates to be stronger than the others, K-H probably the weakest.

Making a 30ml mix up and then adjusting it is not the approach that I take. I prefer to make a 5ml tester of each flavour first to get the % right. Then either play with recipes or simply drip two or three individual flavours into an RDA to see how they work together.

Patience is very hard to learn ... get a few simple juices sorted and always available so that you're not tempted to break into the steeping drawer.

Scrumpox is right he gave me same advice and it worked a treat before that i was using 10ml testers and just wasting stuff needlessly

Sorry, I've confused things... I wasn't going to make 30ml of everything. I was going to make up 10ml in a 30ml bottle. That way it's got a lot of room so you can give it a good shake.
There is also room if I need to adjust the mix.

My plan is...
To make 10ml (in a 30ml bottle) of 5 recipies.

Let them steep for 1 week.
Drip them all and make any adjustments.

Let them steep for another week, test again

Anything that was good the first week and good the 2nd week will go into 10ml glass bottles and labled up.

Then carry on making changes until the juices taste good 2 weeks running, then bottle them.

As a recipe gets "completed" I'll decide if I want to make another batch, or start another.

About the 30ml bottles...
I'm convinced things steep better when they have more room in a bottle.
I'm fairly new to this, but everything I've steeped in a larger bottle seems to steep twice as fast as things I've filled right up to the top with no air.

Id say do a 5ml tester to start with untill you find what your after it cuts down on waste. Im unsure tbh i have been told less air in the bottle the better and no light
