Think I get it now lol. I'll have a bash when my mixing stuff comes and take it from there. Fingers crossed.

Thanks guys :-)

No worries... and if it makes you feel better, when you have all your stuff and you've put all of the calculations in a calculator, post up the recipe and someone will sense check it for you

Thanks lairey I just mite do that. Prob have to wait til I come back from my holiday in 2 wks tho ;-)

What total % of flavouring did you put into the calculator xtc263. Theoretically, as long as your total flavouring is 25% or less, then 50/50 isn't a problem.

Your Nic base is 100% PG, and your flavouring is 100% PG.

As you are using 25% Nic base, you would need 25% of flavouring and added PG if necessary, with 50% of VG.

If your flavouring % is higher than 25%, you won't be able to get a 50/50 mix, but it's not often that you need more than 25% in total... hope that makes sense?

Hi on the websites I gotthe concentrates I noticed they had % recommendations. Is that for one flavour mix? if I wanted to mix 3 or 4 fruit flavours would I need to divide the % some way between them? Like say 8% strawberry 8 % dragon fruit 8% watermelon depending on how strong a flavour I wanted?

Exactly that.  For instance, if all of the recommended % were 20%, and you were using 4 different flavours, you would still want the overall % to be around 20%.  You could do 5% of each, or you could tweak them, so one or two of the flavours were more dominant.  However, it may be that despite the recommendation being 20%, that is too strong or weak for your personal taste... that is where trial and error comes in and versions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of your recipe    It's great when you nail it, but a very long and tedious process when you're mixing custards!

generally fruits only need a week to steep, so you can mix something on a Saturday, try it the next Saturday and mix v2 that same day!  Much more like instant gratification than waiting 6-8 weeks between iterations! lol
