First attempt at mixing

[goneforagasper]

I have done 2 small trial mixes 80/20 12mg nic and 15% Red Astaire and Minty the Toff. Tried it after only a 24 hour steep and feel it could benefit from more flavor. Should I up the percentage of concentrate or will it get more flavor with longer steeping ?

Any advice would be appreciated

RA doesn't change much at all with time for me, MTT I found horrible initially and I found need a few weeks before the flavour comes out. I mix both at 20%

I find RA needs 20% and is ready more or less straight away. Not sure about minty but I would add a bit more concentrate and see what you think. Its all trial and error really so don't be worried about trying things to see what its like. You'll win in the end

patience patience patience - and yes I would go for 20%

Most people seem to mix red at 20% though I only mix at 15 for my taste. It's ready as soon as mixed never tried minty the toff though but think it's a bit like affro dissiac which takes a couple of weeks to be at it's best.

Thanks everyone, I have rejigged my 2 samples to 20% and will test drive tomorrow.

You got me into this Clivia so like all beginners I am impatient

I was happy with my 1st RA at 15% but now at about a week old it seems weak, so I will probably go to 18% next time, MTT is still to be made (I need some more hours in each day)

MTT has become my favorite vape. Having tried and really liked RA I tried another from the same manufacturer (T Juice) and that was MTT.

I am ready to try another from the same stable but don't know which one to try next

Afro Dizziac ( @15% ) maybe if you like a full on flavour goneforagasper?

MTT I like at least a month after mixing, as the Mint flavour is more subtle by then . . . and 20% is my preferred ratio as well.

I'm quite liking vamp vape as a second to RA. I rate vv much better than MTT

RA is one of the very few juices (if not the only one) that is good to go as soon as it's mixed. No steeping required. The pre-made juice is sold at 20% but I prefer 15. The PG/VG ratio and the nic strength will also affect flavour. I go for 50/50 at 20mg but the great thing about mixing is that there is no right answer, only what YOU enjoy vaping.

My MTT and JTR still haven't come through flavour wise and they've been steeping for about 3 weeks now, no raspberry, toffee and a complete absence of mint both smell and taste wise. Honestly starting to think I got a bad batch or something

RA still going strong though, has been my favourite all day for the past few weeks

Did you mix at 20%?

I have not had jtr but have had mtt.

Think I left minty 4 weeks at 20% .

Perhaps up the percentage or add sweetner I believe Super-Shiny adds sweetner? Could be wrong have a look at the recipe thread.

Vaping MTT after 5 weeks and it's coming through nicely - I always find that this concentrate really does benefit from some time 'in the bottle' before vaping! Red Astaire - ready to go right from mixing, and some of the others like a bit of time to relax before being made to perform

[pebbles]

I mix red astaire at 20% too, and I like to leave all my juices at least a week.
