!st DIY juice........failure!

[jevans]

Vapes well, can taste the nicotine, but no flavour!

I'm a little disappointed.

[igual]

What make ry4 did you use?
As a guide I always taste the neat concentrate on back of hand 1 drop that way you get an idea how strong it is.
The ry4 I have is chefs vapour ry whore and I mix that @20%
In fact nearely 90% of my mixes work out at 20%
I'd suggest adding 5% more concentrate.
Then let it steep for a few days.

[Marcus]

How long have you let it steep? Some flavours, especially tobaccos and more complex flavours can take a good 3-4 weeks before they start to shine

[Perpetua]

As the gents . . . not enough flavouring and too little time allowed for steeping.

Don't let it deter you though jevans.

[sammy13]

Don't think of it as a failure, think of it as an education.

You can not taste any flavour, but you did only mix at 10%, plus it may need longer to steep.

So you have learnt that you need it stronger.

Try a sample at 15%, and one at 20% , pop it away for 3 weeks, and see how that is

[chykensa]

Can't add more than has already been said, jevans, but 20% would be my punt on a suitable percentage.

You MUST have enough tags now!!!

[Tom]

There are no failures, only lessons

Ry4s tend to have a bit of complexity but you should taste some flavour straight away.

What brand was it?

I'd make a sample at 20% and tie it a little try.

Also what did you try the juice in?

[chykensa]

jevans - just checking that you DO have VG nic base? I only want to be sure that it's not PG and you have put the wrong figures into the recipe, that's all!

[Tom]

Im gonna guess it was this? jevans

[Tom]

If it is, the consensus here (click the here word) seems to be 20% is good.

[jevans]

Definitely VG base Andy.
Spot on with the cloud 9 Tom!

[Q]

The thing is jevans you can now add MORE concentrate... had you mixed at say 30% and it was too strong its a lot harder to take it out
Just add some more conc (make a note of how much) and try it again in a few days

[jevans]

I think I'm going to have to learn the patience of "steeping"!
