boyofford - makes me laugh, you and I seem to be making the same mistakes all the time! I mixed a Blackcurrant Zing! with BC, Koolada and some Cinnamon Red Hots at 4% - likewise, much too much, if I used 1% I reckon that would be plenty. This juice is now about 6 weeks old, and the Blackcurrant is just starting to appear although the Cinnamon is overpowering most of the time. I use it when I'm in the garden working, as a quick vape of it at 16mg is all I need, and at least I'm not consigning it to the sink!

I quite like the mix, just need to get a bit more fruity taste in it, I liked it so much though that I kept vaping it and was used up before steeped! Think I'll make up two bottles of it, if I've got enough conc, and hide one to give it chance to steep. I thought I may be turning towards custards and deserts chykensa, so bought various concs, inc some coffee ones as liked coffee flavours at start. Mixed all up at same time at 20%.... and well.... turns out I don't like them lol. Bought toffee conc after kept seeing enjay mentioning it.... tastes like burnt toffee to me, not really a keeper either, though vapable. Mixed a touch of cinnamon mix with so old red Astaire mix to see what flavour would win lol, I'd call it a draw, tasted great but hour later my menthol/red Astaire intolerance came back, I'd recommend it if you like RA though. Must bin my stuff to avoid temptation!!!

redz - don't be fooled by the smell, I have some JJ Gingerbread mixed from concentrate, and it smells nasty but tastes really lush!! I think I mixed at 15%, but I do like quite prominent flavours. You could start at around 12% and up it from there if it's too weak. Capella GB is the business, though, I have to agree with Frogster (The Alchemist)! You were right about the taste. I'm sampling some flavours I've mixed and the gingerbread does taste ok but still pongs. Not an all day vape but ok for an occasional change. I've put it away to let it steep for longer to see how it improves.

boyofford - I've never had much success with coffee flavours; the idea sounds great, but the taste always seems artificial to me. Maybe I used too much - I tried a coffee and rum mix, but it is consigned to the back of my box now; maybe I'll get it out and try it in my dripper this weekend, just in case a miraculous transformation has taken place
