Tried again today.

[Phoenix .]

Got my Mojo back and actually mixed 3 x10ml bottles...Banana & Custard, Mango and Butterscotch, will leave them for a month them try them, if these aren't right I am deffo giving up on mixing.

[Blownupdolly]

Awww hope they work out for you. They sound nice anyway!

[babs]

Sounds good hope they turn out well

[Perpetua]

Hope they turn out well for you Phoenix . . . . what percentages/recipes did you use?

[Steve (VapeStorm)]

Stuck with it, half my mixes have been vapeable but not quite what I was after, get scientific get a notebook and write down what works and what doesn't. It's all about trial and error. I've yet to crack what I like but it's cheaper than buying ready made. Also take online recipes with a pinch of salt not everyone's tastes are the same as I assume you already know.
Starting with single flavour mixes is a good way to start so you know what strength each flavour should be at, the you can start combining

Sounds exactly like me , other than menthol, I have not made one thing I am totally happy with yet, I've made quite a few vapeable custards but just not totally right, and most other stuff has gone down the sink.
I've stuck with it though, and I keep trying.

To get your confidence up worth getting some T-juice concentrates - mix em at 20% and steeps for a couple of days and you have a perfect replica of the pre mix flavour but with the added bonus of being able to tweak the PG/VG mix (great if like me you have a slight PG sensitivity).

I have rarely managed to mix much vapeable from a recipe (although I keep meaning to give Fluid a go) but its pretty hard to go wrong mixing Red Astaire

I have tried the RA and didn't like it

[morbidmatty]

I found some 3ml dropper bottles on amazon which I use to test out mixes first , do a mix try it, leave for a day try it ,blast in sonic try again if I like it I'll mix up bigger batch I use mixing program to keep an eye on what percentages I have done.
I started to do this after wasting about 2 litres of liquid with bad concentrates I bought and following their instructions. ( when I say bad it was a DIY kit from a reputable supplier)

[alexvlad]

That's a very good idea morbidmatty, I do the same thing too. I don't want to waste liquids so I prepare small batches and try them first.

A bit of advice to mixers, who are having problems.

I now count my drops, instead of using syringes or any measuring devices.

It is a bit of a laborious process, but the results- speak for themselves.

If I'm doing a 30ml mix, I calculate the recipe for a 15ml juice, then repeat the process again, as this gives the flavours
more opportunity to combine and infuse better.

Hope this helps members ,who are having mixing problems.

You'd probably have better success if you left your mixes longer to steep and infuse morbidmatty . . . a day is nowhere near long enough for many concentrates, so your results are bound to be patchy. I wouldn't be too hasty in blaming the flavourings.

I agree with you on the T-Juices. I've only tried 2 of them but they've been spot on. The 2 I've got are Jack the Ripple and Minty the Toff. Wasn't too sure about Jack the Ripple at first but now I really like it and have bought it over and over again. Just recently started to add a little sweetener to that one though, just a few drops of ethyl maltol and I've found it's even nicer with the sweetener.

Minty the Toff I've only recently bought and I like that one a lot so I can see me buying that one over and over again too. Must try another T-Juice flavour when I put my next order in
