This one is my fave for the one stop shop.....I have various flavours from various brands etc....most I have purchased from here.....I love that place......infact Perpetua, slap on the hand for you......I was trying to keep away from buying YET more concs......even vacuuming the lounge, dusting and polishing and putting the washer on hasnt made the urge go away.....right now to vacuum the kitchen ...... Instead of just vape 24/7 it should be just shop 24/7

This morning lairey ................I'm thinking it will need time to steep but I am an impatient so and so and have no ready made left (thanks to my dad deciding he likes it) I only made 5mls to test it out.

As you know you like Softmint, why not mix up more, so by the time you finish the 5ml it should have had some steeping time... it should be good to go in a few days, but probably better after even longer. Your quantities look right, so it's all about patience now

I thought it would be that....... better make a bigger batch up. I didn't want to make a large quantity up incase it didnt work out right but will do a 30ml bottle, the juice looks quite thick do you think it might need some water/vodka or will it thinnen while steeping?

As long as you make sure your wick can keep up with the rate you are vaping, you should be fine. If you normally get dry hits with the pre-mixed then it's worth diluting your VG with some voddie, otherwise don't bother

If you just want to pop your recipe up here before you mix it, I'll check the quantities to give you a bit of peace of mind

I don't get 40/60 from your mix elly2 more like 65/35 pg/vg but it's fine to use. Soft mint takes a couple of days to steep and I wouldn't add any water or vodka at the moment. It's only really added by some people to aid measuring the vg. Oh and juice doesn't usually get thinner by steeping. Well done on your first mix
