blmble, only 10ml bottles i've got are empty concentrate bottles, been buying new 30ml ones , last lot came from vapours r us, same price as the 10ml ones too.

MAN! Keep your old bottles and wash them out. Invest in an ultrasonic cleaner or milton fluid or fairy liquid or....

just keep them, clean them re-use them, or you may as well buy e-juice ready made. The cost......

No I can't see it there either! ?

Just stumbled on some reviews and realised it's not even supposed to be a pinacolada flavour! But that's what I get anyway. Hope it comesback soon because 50ml won't last long

Tim I've not bought a pre made mix for nearly two years, any bottles I've got from back then have been well used. I certainly recycle all my bottles again but infuriatingly they do give up the ghost and need replacing and I ain't going to buy a premix just to get hold of a bottle. Possibly I'm even just on using washed out 30ml concentrate bottles by now or new /newish bought empties. I'm paying less then a quid a bottle so it's not a bank breaker.

Ahhh. Better buy some then. Sorry for being presumptuous.

Tim your not it makes sense to use / recycle what you've got,and wise advice to pass on. I've just reached the stage of not having any empties to recycle

Hi im going to mix some pina colada(cap) but not sure what % to do it at, I also don't bother with 10ml 30ml at least.

Any info would be great thankyou smiley

15-20% I'd suggest . . . .


However, there is a good reason for mixing samples first, so you can gauge what percentage suits your individual tastes before going on to make larger volumes, of anything.

Thanks perpetua for the info, I know its a waste if it turns out wrong.
Most of the recipes ive been doing are off you guys and gals, so im sure they'll be ok

Not necessarily smiley76, you can always add some extra flavour/dilute . . . . it just means some faffing.

Easier to get it right by making a sample first, that's my personal thinking - ultimately it's down to anyone how and what they do.

I'm sure they will be OK but it doesn't follow on that you will like them, easier (and cheaper) to bin 8 or 9ml than 28 or 29ml.

I have been soley DIY for over a year, and still do a 5 or 10ml max tester for any flavour concentrate I have not used, or a new recipe, nothing worse than making 50-100ml and finding its too weak or simply

Been there done that and got the TShirt!

This usually works out fine - except when it doesn't. Avoid Solubarome Forest Fruits unless you really, really like raspberries. And mix it at way under 20% - I made 100ml of tear gas.

[Deleted]

16% was good for my tastes, infact all three of the Solube Arome concentrates I have used so far seem good at 16%

Which were Gambit clone, Suicide Bunny Original Bunny ( lovely) and Mothers Milk v1 ( not impressed) but did hear v2 is far better.

[drunkenbum]

I mixed a vimto concentrate I hadn't used before the other day and made the mistake of doing 30ml only to find 15% wasn't strong enough. Not the end of the world as its still tasty and more than vapeable. Will most definitely be doing 10ml to start every time from now on

[letsavit]

A bit against the grain here but;

Fruits I have gave up on, my favs, aniseeds, absinthe etc it might take 10 to find one I like so mix 20ml as I'm to lazy to use syringes. CAP/TPA custards recipes here I haven't had a bad one yet, all been nice so have now decided just to go in at 100ml. Might get caught out at some point, but the flavourings are already purchased VG/PG is cheap and at 3mg nic it's not too expensive if it goes to waste. What's more frustrating for me is is polishing of 10ml of a real nice custard in a night and having to wait another month to vape it again....
