Good Luck hijack it isn't all that difficult if a pup like me with no opposable thumbs can do it, you can. lol

I've just cleaned up the aftermath of my mixing

So what recipes are you gonna try? How about forest fruits with a menthol kick?

[hijack]

Ive just done 4x10ml testers.

All are 12mg at 50/50



So I did Perpetua's CLC
A 20% of the forest fruit
20% aniseed
and a 6% Virginia.

The aniseed might be on the strong side but I only use it to add to other flavours, so I might just have to add less.
No sweetener or anthing added yet, ill see in a week or so if they need any.

I usually mix those flavours above to get something I like. I suppose now I have the flavourings I can work out a recipe so I can make it from scratch without doing the individual flavours.

I work on it once I get these right.

I have loads of stuff to mix up and try think I will be doing this next week

Just a quick tip. If you're anything like me [old and decrepit] you will find that you may regret that you didn't add dates to the labels. When the mixing bug really kicks in, it's hard to remember just how long any one sample has been steeped.

[hijack]

Thanks ill start doing that from now on.

[hijack]

UPDATE: Just sampled my fabulous four.
Forest Fruit is spot on at 20%
The custard tastes great after only 5 days
The virgina taste the same as the one I was buying
The anissed is way to strong
ill have to do a 10% instead of 20%

So have mixed up 100ml of custard and Virginia so I have them ready for when I run out.

This mixing is pretty good, so glad I gave it a go.

Im going to see what the additives do to some of these samples.
Going to try a drop of Koolalda in the fruit and and a drop of EM in the Virginia.

Also have some more flavours on there way to me.

[osdset]

I mixed 60 ml of 65/35, 18mg, Golden Rollie flavour at 8% three weeks ago, it's just about steeped enough to give a reasonable vape. Tasted like wet grass at the beginning.

[hijack]

Im going to leave them another week or so but I wanted to do a small test in a dripper to see if I got the flavour strength right as the aniseed is way off.

hijack can I please ask where you got the basic kit from and how much did it cost?

[hijack]

firewall The bascic kit I got from vapersemporium It was £26.60 for 2 x 500ml bottles of PG&VG + 100ml of 72mg nic PG base, and £6 post.
If you want to save a bit then try everythingliquid as they are cheaper for nic base and its free post. (I would have gone there if I had known before I ordered). They don't have VG in stock but I got some from boots today at £1.29 for 200ml, so you could save quite a bit using those two instead.

The syringes and needles etc I got from one of the places where I bought the concentrates cant remember which, but try liberty-flights or chefsvapour or where you get your consentrates, they should have some syringes etc. I got a 2ml 10ml and 30ml and that long tube needle/stirrer in my pic is very handy for using with the very thick VG.

The cupcakeworld flavours I got from amazon with free post so they were good value considering how much you get. I think the 100ml bottles were £7-8.

The VG from boots comes like this

A fine example of taste is subjective!

I mix my CCW aniseed at 20%.

80/20 is bob on,
but,
60/40 I need more flavour!

Think I'd need 50% flavour at 50/50 

Do you see a slight separation with the aniseed? (at the top of the bottle, after its been sat for a few hours?)
CCW blackcurrant goes with it lovely!
