Sweetener is fine too

That's good to hear I was a bit concerned with the sweetener what it would be like. Do you have to use much or very little

1% is a good place to start crunchynut . . . you can always add a little more if your tastes would like. Though too much sweetener will caramelize when heated and gunk your coils up quicker.

Make small volumes to begin with, until you get a feel for your concentrates and what suits you.

Any help, then just ask.

Cheers MarkS for the heads up on UK Flavours. Saturday I'm ordering the silver DIY mixing starter kit from thealchemistscupboard but you only get one concentrate with the silver kit which I'll be getting vanilla custard so I've just placed an order from UK Flavours to try out 4 of their sample size bottles. Think that's a great way to start off as I've never mixed before. I've ordered
Blueberry
Blackberry
French Vanilla
Sweetener

Have you tried any of these yet?

The only one I have of those 4 is the French Vanilla.
Mixed it up ages ago but still haven't got around to actually vaping it yet.

So sorry I'm not much help at the moment.

If I do a 5ml sample leave to steep for a week then find it needs another drop would I add it to that mix and have to steep more or make another 5ml with 2 drops ??

What flavours are you mixing with 1 drop crunchynut?  1 drop is between 0.03 and 0.05 of a ml, which is max of 1% in 5ml... most concentrates will be virtually undetectable at that %

Also, I'd highly recommend using a 1ml syringe.  Different bottle tops deliver different size drops - very difficult to know exactly what you're mixing.

I'll be mixing mainly single fruit custards and mixed fruit custards. I was just curious to know if I found one could be better a little sweeter. I haven't mixed yet and was using 1 or 2 drops as an example so my question was understood, I also said drops but I will be using a 1ml syringe. The two main ones I will be mixing are banana custard and blueberry custard but I haven't chosen a recipe yet.

How's everyone getting on with these flavours? Would it be worth getting a few to try? The custard is a definite for me, TPA's is just as good as Capellas imo. Cheaper custard stock is a dream, just think of the litres I can make at this price!!!

What about the French Vanilla and Sweetener, are they any good?

[sue1952]

I think for the price iLardyboy it's worth a try of anything. I have just received nic base, lime and triple strength vanilla custard. Woooohooo bring it on ......................Sue

I'll be getting some nic base from there next time I need it, might try some butterscotch and caramel. Any recommendations on other flavours?

[sue1952]

Think I'm going to try the triple strawberry when it comes in, butterscotch, plum and whatever else takes my fancy at the time . As I say the price for 30ml is fab and free postage is a bonus. I ordered yesterday lunch and received my goodies this morning. Can't get better than that.........Sue

Yes, if you're just ' topping up ' your sweetener then that will be fine to do crunchynut . . . though if you're mixing mainly Custards, then you'll want to be leaving them for considerably longer than a week before you're able to properly judge whether you need to add anymore of anything.

UK Flavours have some Nic Base in, not much in the way of VG . . . but all sizes still available in PG:

www.ukflavours.com/nicotine/105-70mg-70-nicotine-.html

With free shipping as well.

Just placed an order here for some nic base and 4 sample flavours but did not get free shipping. Had to pay £3.99 for second class or £4.50 for first.

Seemed to be letting me have free shipping when i just had the flavours in my basket but charged me after i added the nic. Ahh well still good value

I got vanilla custard, french vanilla, french cream, and irish cream...

I would tag Sarah at Uk Flavours because I think Q had the same problem. He sorted his through good old FB I believe................Sue
