I placed an order with another vendor on here today and couldn't get the code to work, so removed the items from checkout .So contacted them in their thread and was requested by them to remove the post.

Was told I should pm or email them and not ask the  question online lol

@zero I think in that case if it was me I would be tempted to start a thread saying their discount code doesn't work !

Yes you can . . . amber/coloured glass diffuses light more readily than clear, so anything in the bottle tends to stay preserved for longer. Not such an issue if you intend freezing the contents anyway geordie_vaper.

Just fill them to top keep as much air out as possible. I then put mine in airtight freezer bags just to be safer.

only for long term storage of over 2 years

[Clivia]

Clivia if you have 10 ml base at the strength you need yes just add concentrate. For mine I would start at 1ml of concentrate, leave it a few days and then try it. You can always add more if it's too weak

But for 10% you would add 1ml to 9ml of unflavoured juice, for 20% add 2 ml to 8ml of unflavoured juice

and one more question please - I just spoke to my austrian colleague who also vapes and mixes but he uses 1ml concentrate to 100ml base ??? - that's a huge difference - and I went to the German webpage and it recommends it like that = 1 ml to 100ml www.besserdampfen.de/aromenbasen-diy-mix-it/aromen/obst-aromen/616/aroma-zitrone

looked on jj - ut there are no instructions there - are uk concentrates different ?

[Clivia]

thanks Karma - no chance that it lasts that long

[erik514]

Clivia it all depends on the concentrate. Some tobacco flavours are mixed at a very low percentage while other flavours like red Astaire tend to be about 20%. It's all down to personal taste really and whether you like strong or weak flavours

[Clivia]

thanks erik514 - but 1:100 and 1:10 is just toooo big a difference - so I am a bit confused - but I have time till the mix goodies arrive to get that sorted

oh and jess and @zero - have cello tape and nail polish already - uff - a few pennies saved

Clivia it could be the case that some cons abroad are like that , but all ive seen on major uk sites recommend anything between 2 % and 20%.
you will never know what will suit u until u test some levels.
some can be made simular to premixed ie afro around 18% for me is like premixed.
if you go on liberty flights etc and look at the reviews u will see some people recommending 5-8 % and another saying they used 20% its just different taste buds.
so i would go for a middle of the road percentage and then adjust up or down.
i have only recently started mixing and some have come out ok and some very weak , pain at first but once we get the level thats it.
all makes come out at different levels and sadly within that a lot of flavours are different levels.
its very much trial and error.

oh once u gage ur levels it gets better.

iE say u love a flavour at 20% and another at 15% you can then find some one on here simular in taste buds and get the percentages from that.

[Clivia]

thanks clivealive1 - so let's go the road of trial and error then

[clivealive1]

whats cons are u getting?
