Mixing : Adding a flavour 24 hours,after initial base mixed.

[mike weaver93]

Hi,

Just read Griz's excellent guide to mixing.

He stated, in some of his mixes, he doesnt mix all of his flavours at once, some recipes he makes the base (Nic and/or PG VG)
then adds a flavour 24 hours later.

EG Vanilla Custard, he stated he makes the base, then adds VC, then waits 24 hours to add French Vanilla.

Wondered if,any recipes that contains creams/vanilla should be added 24 hours,after the base was created.

Does anyone, follow this procedure too.

Cheers

Mike

I think I remember Frogster (The Alchemist) saying this was to balance out stronger and more delicate flavours. If you add the weaker one after the stronger one has had time to steep a little, it stands less chance of being overpowered. I think

I meant my tastebuds and I, you are living proof that you survived, even if your palate hasn't

Me too. 

The only time I mix flavours separately is if it's a new flavour for me, just to get a feel for the basic taste and see what else it may or may not need adding to it.
