First step into mixing this weekend.

[collie2011]

Tobacco's at 5%, everything else either 15 or 20% depending on how strong I think the flavour will be. I agree, the longer you leave them the better they seem to get so resist temptation

I echo what the other ladies have said . . . 20% is my starting point for most single flavours, although I leave my brews at least a week before I test them.

Fruits don't take quite so long to be vapeable 3/4 days should be enough for a good result. If you try them too soon, the temptation is to add more flavouring, which you might not need when it's steeped.


Have fun Ros. 

I just mixed up my first cherry menthol Mandy. How long do you reckon till its at its best?

[Super-Shiny]

Fruits (Standalone) @ 20+ %
Clove/Cinnamon/Brown sugar @ 3%
Additives like sweetener/koolada/stevia's/vape wizard @ 1-4%
Beverages @ 3%
Pie crust/Cake batter @ 8%
Everything else just varies too much to give a percentage, different brands different percentages

But the main ingredient is: Have Fun

A couple of days it should be fine Dolly . . . though I'd probably leave it just a little longer. Have a test after a couple of days maybe and then see if you notice any difference after 3/4 days, then you'll know for future brews.

Trouble is, OH has sore throat and tried it to see if it helped. WRONG! It nearly blew his head off
Way too much menthol

I made up 30ml using 12.5% cherry and 12.5% menthol!

I have tried to rectify it by making up another 10ml of just cherry on its own and mixing it with the first batch. Fingers crossed!

Haha, yeah that is a lot of menthol. I think I would maybe do it at 5%. I bet Mr Dolly's face was a picture haha.

I stuck my head inside mt t shirt and started giggling

BUT, good news this morning. After my attempt at salvaging the mix, he reckons its great now! So much so he has filled up an evod and taken it to work. This mixing ark is doing wonders for my confidence. I am now healing the sick
