Has anyone had any experience with any of these concentrates? Any tips etc? or ideas for a nice combination from the above?

I also have Tino D'milano RY4 / 555 / Maxx Blend, LT E cigs Custard, @ Inawera Blueberry / Watermelon too hand from a previous order...

Just looking for any helpful ideas or information really.

Cheers

sonicflowjoe have you looked in here: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/board/40/recipes

[sonicflowjoe]

Thanks dinamic22 I haven't had a proper look there yet. Just thought i'd see if anyone had any info on the specific concentrates I have.

[newdawn]

Hi sonicflowjoe If you go to this site eliquid-recipes.co.uk/ and register (free) you can enter all of your concentrates into the search box and it'll find all the recipes you can make with your concentrates. There's a thread about how to use the site here allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/32533/gojee-vapers

[sonicflowjoe]

Hi newdawn Thanks for that. That sounds just the ticket. Looking into it now

[sonicflowjoe]

newdawn well I registered and gave it a go but unfortunately there seems to be a distinct lack of recipes using the concentrates i have. If i come up with anything good I'll stick it up on there for others.

[newdawn]

I'm still finding my mixing feet and not sure how much of what goes with what. Perpetua is good at stuff like that though and might come up with an idea or two for ya.

[Perpetua]

Thank you for the compliment newdawn.

A couple of suggestions from me sonicflowjoe . . .

Gummy Candy - I'd do that as a standalone

Double Choc & Peppermint

Toasted Almond & Milk Choc Toffee

Double Choc Mocha

Double Choc/White Choc with some Custard maybe

Blueberry Waffle, with a dash of Brown Sugar

I'm sure there are loads more . . . . .

[sonicflowjoe]

some nice suggestions there. Thanks Perpetua

[Perpetua]

YW sonicflowjoe.


I love coming up with ideas for mixes, just wish I had more hours in the day to make and vape them all. Doesn't stop me from buying all the different flavours mind.

[sonicflowjoe]

Perpetua Do you have any past experience of using any of the concentrates i listed? Just wanted to get an idea of what percentages to mix the various flavours at and how well they are rated.

[Perpetua]

I've used most of those other than the Gummy Candy - though I'd probably do that at 20%.

Capella's Double Chocolate is one of my fav choccie flavours  . . . needs at least 2 weeks to steep though. As for percentages, you'll need to decide whether you'd like any flavour to dominate and if you would, make them your highest percentage.

I generally aim for an overall 20% of flavouring as that's what suits my tastes, then tweak from there if needs be.

And the lick test can be an idea of how intense your flavours are and help you decide, a dab of flavour on your tongue gives an indication.

[sonicflowjoe]

Thanks a lot for the advice. 20 % sounds high but i've just had some Inawera flavours so far that are a fair but more concentrated from what i believe. Will just be making up some small batches of 3 mls maybe to start with and experiment with the percentages.

[Perpetua]

Capella & The Perfumer's Apprentice are a lots less intense than Inawera  . . . so you'll certainly need a higher ratio with them sonicflowjoe.

[sonicflowjoe]

Thanks Perpetua My order from 28 vapes turned up today so i've started dabbling with a few mixes. I'm experimenting with 10% as a starting point (can always add more if need be). So far i've done 3ml samples of Gummy Candy, Graham Cracker, and a mix of Double Choc and Peppermint. Quite promising so far (couldn't resist having a few sneaky tastes) Sure they'll improve with age though. I gave them all a bit of a hot water bath to try and speed up the steeping a bit... seems to help but i'm still finding my feet with all this mixing lark.
