I've read that FA flavours need more steeping than cap / PA - is this true? Not in my experience ionian . . . they're all pretty much of a muchness, no matter whose range it is. A productive afternoon by the look of it.  |

 had a good session this afternoon! I've mixed 50mls of PVC, and then 10 ml testers of: RY4 harvest berry raspberry cheesecake coconut and caramel strawberry banana I've made up most of the recipes myself - hopefully my palette is ok and and they taste alright once steeped. I've read that FA flavours need more steeping than cap / PA - is this true? I actually quite enjoyed it, I took lots of time and double checked everything! Way to go |

Nice one ionian - and a nice picture too! Now the agonising wait for them to steep. Top tip - now get yourself some more flavour concentrates and mix up some more in the next week. Do this for the foreseeable future, and you will always have juice ready to vape, and some steeping. After a couple of months you will build up a bit of a backlog, and can then afford to slow down on the mixology. Never become complacent though, otherwise you will end up with a bunch of rejects and misfits and nothing decent to vape for two weeks! |

Maybe I should try my luck more often... |

Gonna stick a JJ order in when I get home from work tonight and pray Jim can get it out to me before they close up shop on Thursday!! |

It's not an excuse I've used yet, so it has potential... |

ionian how are they tasting 10 days in Simon ? I haven't tried them yet! I was going to wait for the weekend, but if I get a chance I'll have a little taste when I get home this evening and let you know. I had a sniff earlier this week and they were smelling good, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating and all that... |

I have a simple mixing technique
Buy 1 bottle of whatever flavour you want...mix at 2%...bung details into mixing calculator on phone.....
Drop a little PG Nic base into medicine measuring cup...syringe out (1ml syringe) and pop into medicine bottle (plastic)
Repeat with PG and VG (boots) as per instructions on mixing calculator
Add 10 drops (seems to be about average for me) of flavour....put childproof cap on medicine bottle. Give it a good shake....sorted
Boy this should be in a kindle leaflet at £2 a pop LOL
