FA Golden Rollie is the business!

[Village idiot formerly tjlumle]

Update last bottle of this batch number 6 with 3% flavouring 1% vape wizard and 1% bitter wizard slightly stronger flavour than bottle 5 not sweet tastes like a strong cig I'm torn between 5 and 6 at the min. Going to try some others before making a big batch but at the mo it's between 5 and 6 for me probably more on the side of 5 sorry for rabbiting thought this may help others that haven't tried golden Rollie yet

just about too get started on this mixing mularkey.
ordered a 10ml from f'art today as i found a few recommendations for it.
i have around 300ml of hangsen to hopefully see me past the waiting time it might/likely will take to find the right or acceptable tobacco mix for me.
i also got a caramel f'art from vapers emporium which i will likely add a % too some of the mixes.
i am not a heavy flavour fan really so intend to go no more than 1% caramel 2% golden rollie does this sound a bit heavy on the caramel ie will i over power the tobacco do you think.
my zainy dk tab which is a bit drab and i add either 5 to 7 drops of premixed juice to 30ml, these being either grizwalds banofee,cocomel or paradise vapes caramel this just takes the edge of the dk tab.
just looking for some opinions based on the above if possible, i realise that i wont find the correct formula for a while but just thought id ask.

I shouldn't think that 1% caramel will overpower the tobacco, even 2 or 3% should be OK  ...  I use 3% golden rollie which I find to be quite mild and it suits me but my taste buds are pretty much shot. Around 2 - 3% seems to suit most folk.  I also add 1 - 2 % Vape Wizard to all my mixes as I find it smooths out any harshness and rounds off the flavour.  At the end of the day, mixing is a matter of trial and error until you find what suits you. Try a few different percentages but don't mix more than about 2 - 5 mls of each so that you won't waste too much if you don't like it. I also allow all my tobacco mixes to steep for at least 4 weeks  ... anything less and the flavour is just not there  ... the mix gets stronger and more flavoursome the longer you can leave it.

thanks,
ive been wondering how you get things accurate with regard to the flavours when mixing in such small quantities.
i have some syringes coming with the nic but the smallest is one ml, i also have a few needle bottles.see below

if you use the bottles and drip it doesnt seem overly accurate.
are there other ways?

A reasonable estimate is 30 drops = 1 ml ... that's what I use when mixing small testers. When mixing full 30ml or greater batches I use 10, 5, 2 and 1 ml syringes

thanks freefromsmoking,
thats what worries me ie big drip small lol.
i am an over thinker so i think best wait for it all too arrive and then test and measure my drips from the needle bottle.
already got a brain ache and the gears not here yet

I wouldn't use drops at all for measuring, get yourself some syringes as you want to be somewhat accurate when it comes to nicotine.

i have some syringes coming but the smallest is one mil, will this likely have gauges all the way down the tube.
i really dont like the idea of dripping it in im a bit otd when it comes to measuring

I use drops all the time for weeny amounts of flavouring like Freefrom . . . a drop or two either way doesn't really make a great deal of difference with most flavours.

Larger volumes, then it's syringes . . . it's what suits you essentially Raggy, I like to keep things as faff free as possible.

Yes they will have graduations.

I have some farts golden rollie and Virginia steeping for
About 3 weeks mixed at 3 % and they both taste rank
I was thinking of adding some Duce la dece (spelling)
Anyone have an idea on percentage I should add ?
Just want to make them both vapeable
Also dose steeping with the lids of or in the daylight make these better thank you in advance

[Perpetua]

You could try adding 1% Dulce de Leche thebaitrunner . . . although maybe a dry Caramel like TPA's Caramel Original could be better?

I always leave my bottles to steep in a cool, dark cupboard and give them a shake as when/if I think of it.

Tried two batches of GR with 2.5 %. Can't really say I like it that much...

Burley on the other hand..YUM!

[thebaitrunner]

If dekang did a consentrate for there Virginia I would be happy it's my go to juice just can't replicate it

3% Golden Rollie + 2% Vape Wizard and steep for at least 4 weeks maccafan  .. the longer it steeps, the stronger it gets and the deeper the flavour. GR is my adv.
