I bought a 10ml premix Red Astaire today and have added around 5ml of my 9mg 50/50 nicotine base to dilute it as I found the standard mix too strong a flavour for me. What percentage would you suggest I start mixing the RA concentrate at when I start mixing my own?

Presuming the pre-mix is done at 20%, adding 5ml to the original 10ml would reduce the mix to 13.333

Original mix has 2ml concentrate in 10ml. Your new mix has 2ml concentrate in 15ml.
[2/15]*100

I'm going to start at 10% and see how that goes. If needs be I can up the percentage as needed.

Does the flavour of this get stronger when it is steeped for a while? Just done my mix at 10% and got a dark pink colour consistency to it. I have left it to stand for 1 1/2 hours with the lid off.

It doesn't get stronger I don't think. You can vape it straight off the bat, but I prefer it after afew weeks. Fresh I get a hint of grapefruit, which I don't like so much Most people aren't as weird as me though

RA is ready to go as soon as it's mixed, but I must admit I think it mellows with time. You can always add a bit more concentrate to it if you need more flavour, but you can't take it out once it's in!! Start at 10%, and see how it goes

8% seems to be the sweet spot for my tastes.
