Am looking at buying linkWhen I look at the calculator it doesn't tell you how much flavoring to add or am I missing something?

How much flavouring to add comes down to experimenting for yourself really hissie ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) most people recommend adding 5-10% flavour to start with and if it's not enough going up to 15% etc You can ask for recommendations on what percentage to try of a given flavour but at the end of the day everyone's taste buds are different. If you started with 10% flavouring, you would add 4.5ml of your unflavoured 18mg/ml nic base & 0.5ml of your flavouring. This would give you 5ml of flavoured e-liquid but will have reduced the nicotine strength slightly from 18mg/ml to 16.2mg/ml (18 x 4.5) / 5

I was thinking about using 10ml bottles & maybe just adding drops of the flavour till I reach my preferred strength, or isn't that a good way?

Sure that's fine if you feel more comfortable doing it that way to start with ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Most people would recommend a smaller amount though in case you really don't like the flavour. With most of the bottles that flavourings come in, I find that 30 drops = about 1ml 1 drop of flavouring won't do much, so maybe try filling a 10ml bottle half way with your 18mg/ml unflavoured nic base and then add 10 or 15 drops of flavour to it If the flavours too strong for you, add a bit more unflavoured to dilute it, if it's not strong enough add a few more drops of flavour.

Am looking at buying linkJust remember that you won't end up with a 18mg finished strength Hissie, by the time you've added your flavouring.

In all my excitement I forgot all I was told about losing nic strength. Ah well, I'll buy the 24mg next time ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Not too bothered about replication at this stage lairey . Just want to start at the beginning & advance from there lol...well that's the plan anyway. As I'm only using 1 flavouring, it shouldn't be too much of a problem..fingers crossed.

Can someone tell me where I can buy a little funnel from? Got my nic juice today but need something to pour it into smaller bottles.

Maybe try a pipette instead hissie? 5ml Pipette Linkless chance of knocking the bottle over and will be handy for adding small amounts of extra unflavoured base incase the flavour is too strong. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Trying the blue ice flavour. Although it's not a bad taste, it's a bit too menthol for me & doesn't really taste of blue slush puppies. Think I'm back on the hunt for a flavour ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
