OK I have read the bits on mixing and also got a calculator. I've made my first mix of banana at 20% and that was far to strong it also cracked my ce4. so I am about to make another one but dropping down the flavour mix but the piece I read about start low and increase is what's bothering me. if I was to start say at 5% and it was weak I can add more flavour to the mix I have done, if I've read it right. But I also have to increase pg and vg so how much would you put in if your mix was already done. Or can you just add extra flavour in the mix. The calculator wont do half calculations will it

I just add drops and guess how much % the flavour now is. Once I get a bead on how much I need I make up a proper batch.
You could make up a mix of 0 flavour with the right amount of nic pg/vg and mix the 2 together?
I have read that banana is a tank cracker, but it surprises me, I have been vaping banana for about a year and haven't once had a problem. I used to vape premixed DV banana in CE4s and now vape DV banana mixed at 10% in iClear16s. I keep an eye on the plastic in all my clearos and the banana one is just fine, after months of sitting with juice in constantly.

Just add more drops of the concentrate to make the flavour stronger. I have made up 30 mls of 70pg/30vg 16mg nic plain juice with no flavour to dilute down any mixes that might be too strong, that way you don't loose the nic level while you dilute the flavour a bit.

Along with the suggestions above, to remedy what you have made already. Howsabout make some up, but leave nic liquid out, just do small amounts of nic free, so you can test & get the flavour percentage right that suits you & then make up your nic juice.

Whose Banana concentrate is it Bazzer . . . if you told us that then someone may be able to advise you on what percentage to use to save some faff.
I've always used TPA's Ripe Banana at 15%, which gives me a good flavour and despite being on the list of tank crackers, I've not had any problems with it.

If you still have some of the 20% then I think dragon has it right - mix some 0% flavour, using the calculator, to your preferred nic strength & PG/VG ratio. Then try mixing 1.5 ml of that to 0.5 ml of the 20%, which will give you your 5% flavour mix. If that is much too weak (probably) put (say) another another 1 ml of the 20% in it which will give you a 10% mix, and try that. And so on. If you don't have any of the 20% left I'd use the calculator as if I was going to make a 10% flavour, but actually only put in 5%, and try that. Then if its too weak, add drops of flavour until it seems about right. If the 5% flavour is right for you then the juice will be a bit stronger in nic than your plan, but not enough to care about, and you can adjust it when you do the next batch.

I always give a flavouring the ' lick ' test just to get an idea of how intense it might be, whilst it's not a hard and fast, it does give an indication. If all else fails, start low and work up!

Lol what's the lick test don't tell me you taste it on your tongue Of course . . . why would I not, they are suitable for flavouring food Bazzer. Many of the concentrates were designed for such, we've just poached them for flavouring eliquid.
