slight mixing mistake maybe?

[Deleted]

ok so i didnt read the juicemeup thing very well and went ahead and made a shed load of juices which are now pretty weak and non flavoured. after two weeks odd steeping to nothingness.

anyhoo.... shall i add some more flavour to the mixes to make them stronger? i know this will weaken the overall nic content but at this point i'm not fussed. i just want to rescue them

i dont want to bin the mixes cos there's over 100mls of nicotine base in them

If you want to rescue them then I think the only way is to add more flavouring to them. Can you taste anything?

[Deleted]

the stronger flavours are ok but some are just not strong enough. might just be me though.

Ooooops!

If you post your recipes, I'm sure we can figure out where you went wrong. & then suggest how much more flavour & wee bit of nic base to add to rescue them without losing strength. Should just be some simple maths.

If you're not fussed about strength, I guess just add some more flavour.

oh i put 70/30 at the top nic base part when its 100%PG
and then target nic base i put 70/30

thats the only bit i got wrong.

it could be me but nothing is smelling like i thought it would except the cinnemon swirl which was delicious.

i shall add some more flavour just a drop or 5 and see how it goes. if all fails i shall just bung it in together and add some spearmint pmsl

i shouldnt laugh but hey !!


the horehound and horehound and liquorice smells nice and strong

[collie2011]

I'd just put a few more drops in each, give it a good shake and then try them again in the morning. What % of flavour did you use?

[fred]

Have you vaped any of them?

[Deleted]

i just had another nose having a sniff and apparently they are smelling like they should, well as the labels say they should. its obviously me then!
i'll keep them steeping for a while longer but will take more care when mixing.

[Deleted]

i vaped the apple pie and custard but not impressed. they have been steeping for a couple of weeks now so may need more time.
i've got very sweet flavours happening.
i'm not known for my patience, i was whinging about insipid colours but they have rosied and ambered up well now.

How many drops per ml did you work on when you did the EJMU calculation Spikey? The default is 20 . . . but I always work on 30 as I believe that's a more accurate drops to ml calculation.

The only way to be a 100% certain is to drop them out, then draw them back up in a syringe, but it's a worthwhile exercise for next time maybe as your mixes will have better flavour.

Assuming that is, you used drops for adding flavour, rather than a syringe or pipette.

If you used a syringe, ignore all the waffle ^^^ up there.

I used a syringe. I did 20% total. So strongest flavour was 10 or 15% followed by 10 or 5%.
I'm vaping a home brew but can't work out what it is by the taste.
At least I have vapour and throat hit going on!
I shall bang in more flavour tomorrow if I get chance.

Must say, the horehound has mellowed to a sweetness now. Not astringent at all

spikeyfridge is the horehound a liquorice flavour? I tried the PA liquorice last week but was unimpressed, the exhale was ok but the inhale tasted soapyish and the smell was making my dogs eyes twitch from side to side

[Deleted]

Think cough syrup!
I'm still looking for a strong liquorice but might go with anise next time

Yes Romelee,he takes off, like a hare, before he gets the blame, poor dug!

spikeyfridge I got some Kent flavour concentrate from LTeCigs: www.ltecigs.larsentilbrook.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&path=64_78&product_id=185
Supposed to be tobacco but has actually got a lovely liquorice coffee toffee taste with a hint of tobacco aftertaste and it's really grown on me steeped for a week and 15% mix......Mmmmm Think it will be nice with some more coffee or vanilla deluxe or both, to hell with it eh?
