I'm fairly sure that jj concentrates need to be 20%+ if youre stuck you can email Jim on his joosejuice site and he will let you know what percent to add his concentrates at

The JJ ones I've tried are good at around 20% - Blueberry, Blackcurrant, Belgian Waffle, Brandy, Caramel Blend, Irish Cream, Key Lime, Pineapple. Although Toffee is plenty strong enough for me at 15%

Email from jim....The concentrate strength we use changes depending on the actual flavour itself. Some concentrates are a lot stronger tasting than others so the percentage of concentrate in a PG heavy mix ranges from 15% - 30%. In a VG heavy mix it will be 20% - 35% flavour concentrate. When mixing your own, advice on flavour percentage starts getting a bit more complicated because there are more variables to try and take into consideration. Taste preference, the vaping kit being used (including tank, coil and wick) all have a bearing on flavour perception as does the voltage/wattage used when vaping the e-liquid. So when mixing your own to your own specific preferences, it comes down to some experimentation. Most of our 'DIY' customers start around 20% - 25% flavour strength and adjust from there. We have one customer who uses only 10% flavour strength and another who uses 40% . There's obviously a wide range of strengths used by our customers so if the 20% - 25% flavour strength isn't doing it for you just adjust accordingly until you find the strength which suits you best. For me personally, depending on the flavour I'm adding, I use between 17% and 20% flavour for my own e-liquids.

ah that's great Matthew, now you have a better idea of where to mix at I was fairly sure that Jim was more than happy to reply to DIY mixers about his concentrate percentages. It isn't always straightforward as the bonus to DIY is tweaking to suit your specific tastes, so there's an element of guesswork, probably best to start at lower end and add extra until it tastes right for you

I'm using caramel blend with 40/60 pg/vg mix at 17% today, seems to taste pretty good, I'd try it down there and work up, it's easy to add but a total pain in the root to undo lol

Bit off topic to but if you find the caramel blend a bit sweet sometimes you can add a tiny bit of flavourart golden rollie concentrate, really nice and just takes the sickly sweet edge off.
I vape caramel blend all day but that add is a nice change.

Vendors mix for many, so select an option that will appeal to most tastes, Jim is very accommodating and is happy to tweak any of his mixes on request should it be required.
