hi all so 1st batch made, couple of questions: 1 - how long after mixing can i test in dripper? do i need to steep to full maturity, or can it be sooner? 2 - if drip test reveals need more flavour(s) how do you do this and keep same percentages? so if i had 30ml mixed and wanted more of a flavor, should i calculate for 40ml and remix amounts?.....cos if just add flavor it will throw pg/vg/nic out...... ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/oA5mO2ZUXz3JRBkiUW80.gif) cheers

It depends on what you have mixed. Some fruits and menthols are pretty good to go straight away. Some complex fruits take a few days. Custards/Chocolats end to take at least a few weeks ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Nothing wrong with having a few drops in a dripper for a preview though!

You can test it any time you like bunglebear, but I would hold off tweaking until it reaches maturity as the flavour really can change quite considerably over time. Personally, if I'm developing a new recipe, I only mix in 10ml batches and if I think something needs tweaking, I make another bottle, calling it v2, v3 etc. Then I can compare each version, knowing what I've tweaked each time. As far as knocking out the Nic and PG/VG ratios, for the amount of difference another few % of flavouring would affect it, I wouldn't care, but remember it will need re-steeping ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif)
