Nice one I might need to get my mixing on soon getting bored with the mixes I have made not done any mixing recently apart from the RA that seems to go down very quickly lol

[Phoenix .]

Disappointed with my first mixes, I think is it all down to what concentrates you use, the one I used are not strong enough flavour wise.
I am on the look-out for some 'fail safe' ones, I need the flavour far more than I need the TH.

Have you tried adding some more concentrate to your original mixes yet phoenix?  What concentrates did you use and at what %?

 Phoenix . For strong, fail safe, single flavour mixes you can't go wrong with Capella mixed at 20%

+1 on adding some more flavouring Phoenix, in the main the majority of my home brews I mix at 20-25% concentration to get a good flavour.

Sounds nice...  I've just got some Jamaican Rum concentrate...  Malibu sounds like it could work!

Oh yes, I have forgotten about that, Jamaican Rum, I will add that to the coconut and some to the Pineappple, will get something like a nice vape from these concoctions.

erik514 i want to vape the banna custard so jelly

[toots]

Good one erik514 just hope you like em all now.

I mixed a load of different new flavours the other week, and have found out that there isn't much out of the batch that I like

Now I'm trying out these same mixed flavours by adding a bit of this flavour to that one, then a bit of that flavour to this one, and on and on......... getting some right 'ol concoctions, some of which I threw out last night coz after mixing them together they were revolting

I really need to get some flavours that I will like so far there's only really 2 - t-juice's jack the ripple and Capella's strawberries & cream, oh yeah also LTe-cigs double cream.

Got some more concentrates ordered and received by friends in the UK, just waiting for them to bring 'em over to me around middle of March.   that I will like at least 1 or 2 of those new ones. Want to have 4, 5 or 6 on the go at one time coz I do like swapping out flavours throughout the day.

Did Rattie help ?? I would love him .
What did you use for your banana custard? Makes and strengths?
I can't get it right.
First off all I could taste was banana and it is a sweetie banana rather than a ripe banana.
Added more custard, just got sweet rather than banana, added more banana , added more custard ok you get it.
All I got was a very weak nothing concoction, the sink trap no doubt liked it.

I know exactly how you feel toots.
Most of my mixes have gone down the sink, there comes a time when there is only so much you can try adding.

I have a 100ml tablet bottle in the cupboard that I have poured all my custard - not quite right concoctions into.
These were mixes that were ok, but you do not want to replicate or use 10ml of.
I will let you know when I try it, it will be a laugh.
The rest have gone down the sink.

I think my problem is that I don't like many pre-mixed juices, so I have nothing to go on.
What I mean is, in the beginning I loved a few tobacco mixes, then I hated them.
I then found chocolate and practically bought out all lt for their chocmint, but then I got fed up of it.
So the juices I really liked I went off, and the rest I never liked to start with, so what on earth do I try to mix?

[toots]

Yeah sammy13 I can relate to everything you've just said.

I also used to absolutely love butterscotch (ready-made), then went completely off it, and since then I've had problems trying to find the right juice that I can say I absolutely adore. I thought I had that all day vape with the double cream, then found it quite sickly after vaping it for a while, so can only vape it for a very short while now, and maybe add a small amount to other mixes.

I'm also finding that most flavours are not sweet enough for me, so I'm now gonna start adding some ethyl maltol to them and then see if they become more palatable to save me throwing loads of juice out.

I know you have to experiment, but jeeze I would have thought I could have vaped most of them so as not to waste too much, but heck no, you sit there with a juice in the tank half heartedly or begrudgingly taking a puff or two till you just can't take any more of the stuff - yuck - and then give up with that flavour thinking I'll try it again later, but you don't coz even the thought of it puts you off

It also annoys me when I hear other peeps really enjoying a particular flavour, so I go and buy it, and then I hate it grrrrrrrrrrrrr
