Wish I knew that before i put my order in, oh well... it's dispatched now, so we'll see!

There is a thread somewhere about it, I have a memory like an elephant though - what you mean I look like one as well

I've bought loads of concentrates from LF and never had an issue yet leo . . . sadly I think Pep and any others have been most unfortunate. The only problem I've ever had, was short measure on a couple of bottles of ready made as their bottling machine calibration was wonky. Contacted LF and they immediately sent out replacements for both.

I wouldn't fret leo sammy13 There is only a couple of us who have had an issue, many members have ordered buckets of concentrates from LF and have had no issue. I'm sure it was a glitch.

Now I'm a more confident mixer I would have complained immediately but i'd only just started and wasn't so sure of my mixing abilities. I have since replicated some flavours from other vendors and they have been perfect. I just seemed to get a dodgy load of weaker than normal

I would just suggest making a mix of a flavour you know well at your normal strength and compare carefully. I'm sure it'll be OK

I'm a mixing noob... I don't know any mixes well... tbh, so far they have all tasted horrible... yet I keep buying concentrates!!

Try some one shot concentrates of flavours you usually like I.e banana, apple, that way you just have to get the percentage of flavour right, one person may mix at 6 % but you may prefer 20%

This is why I think mixing might not be for me... so far I have only mixed one flavour at a time. It's the percentage that is messing me up (and a lack of patience). When I started I had no idea of percentages (still don't), I read posts quoting anywhere from 2-30%, so I started at 5% > wait 2 weeks > try it > yuk > add more % > wait 2 weeks > try it > yuk > this is going to take forever, and I'm running out of juice to vape!! 

I've been going for more than a month and so far the only one that has turned out ok is some Joose Juice, and that's only because Jim was kind enough to tell me the exact percentage that he mixes at (30%).

I think this thread has been successfully derailed!!

Pop a list of your one shot concentrates in the mixing section, and ask what percentages people use not what they think you should start at, what they actually use.

If you are mixing joose at 30% I'm inclined to think that you are liking stronger flavours. I start all mine at 20%, if it's too strong I know to go down next time, but usually that is the right % for me.
