I'd have thought the unopened flavour concentrate would store much better than a mixed juice. Not based on any experience or science, just thinking about the whole steeping thing.

I forget the name of the nicotine expert chappie, but that was his reasoning as well . . . flavouring is expected to degrade faster than nicotine base, I guess the molecular action when it's all mixed together could cause the whole thing to deteriorate faster.

So common sense/logical thinking would suggest it's best to store the components individually. That's what I'd do anyway.

Where can you buy it in 100ml bottles xs2man?

Just about to order some more but I'm all for saving some money!

I just emailed them asking if it was possible.

Just had an email back from t juice stating that they no longer sell concentrate in 100ml quantities anymore.. was just given the discount code for the website..

I'm not surprised that they don't sell it in 100ml if this is the case:

Quote: We have had quite a few people making a business reselling mixed concentrates in our name, which is totally against our company policy and undermines our resellers. If it continues, and people support it by buying from these people, I will pull T-Juice concentrates from our offering

oh don't!....I might start panicing and buying T-Juice concentrates in massive amounts (like my stash of nic base)
I didn't like red astaire to start with, kept getting a funky smokey after taste, but now - in a glass tank and wattage under 7.5, Its perfect.

Pep, do you find a slight difference between the bought ready mixed RA and the self made one?

[Pepperty]

I've never bought it ready made. Two very nice forum members sent me some samples when I was dithering about which T-Juices to buy. A couple were ready mixes and a few self mixed, but red astaire was from concentrate so I wouldn't know, sorry.

i p I prefer my own mixed 70/30 @ 20 % sort of a more fuller rounded flavour

I'm mixing at 20%/ 70/30 pgvg/ 11mg too. After weeks of smoking the bought ready made I don't taste the same aniseed note or intensity of flavour even after steeping a week. Perhaps its using the Boots vg.

The brand of vg shouldn't make any difference but you can get used to a flavour and need to take a break from it. I find that after 4 or 5 days vaping one flavour I need to leave it a day or two to get back the full flavour. I just use other flavours then. I think it's a bit like eating just one thing it loses the subtle notes.

Yes I agree ! It loses flavour if over vaped ! Went through a phase of tasting metallic as well ! Had a break for a day or 2 and back to its glorious self
