You didn't really peter12 . . . . just impatient.


Like it has to be said many home mixers when they're first starting out - understandably keen to try out their handiwork in the minimum of time. Which is why it's useful to get a couple of concentrates that require a nominal time steeping, get a decent result from those then you've the incentive to have the patience for recipes that take longer to be at their nicest.

Once you're in the habit of having regular mixing sessions, in no time you'll have a selection of well steeped eliquid to choose from.

Oh, really, Mandy? I'm either mixing  or waiting....

I'm not . . . . perhaps it's a timing issue Tim.

I expect so.. always too eager to enjoy the moment with no forward planning.... At least one of them left home though......

afaik heisenburg by vampire vape is a shake n vape premium concentrate thats very popular, its one of the few vapes i enjoy (but not all day)
mix @ 15-20% iirc..

www.vampirevape.co.uk/product/flavour-concentrate/ about £10 for 30ml of concentrate, but mixes as good as the branded juice

edit - also simple fruit concentrates tend to make juice u can shake and vape too..  complex recipes tend to need time to steep to let flavours combine/matyre correctly.

peter12 - once you have got into the mixing malarkey, get into the habit of mixing recipes that need a lot of steeping time (for which incidentally there is no substitute for time, believe us!), and mix regularly.
I have well over 2 litres of juice which is ready to vape (some only just!) and will be mixing again this weekend, with enough concentrates on the way to mix 2 litres of juice next weekend. This way, after an initial period when the shake'n'vape mixes come into their own, you will always have a good supply of juice which is ready to vape, and a good stock quietly steeping away in a cool dark place to be enjoyed at some time in the future.

No! Your Nic calculations totally wrong. The Nicotine is 70 mg, not 7 as you have, 

Change the nicotine base to 70 mg, The 100% is for the base that the nicotine is supended in, which will either be PG or VG. Check the label to make sure which you ordered.

At the quanity you had was far too much!

The nic I have is definately the one from the link

In that case it should state 70 mg on the label, i buy from them all the time.

Also in the link you give, it clearly displays 70 mg   It looks like you getting mistaken by the 7%

Just be sure whether its PG or VG as i cannot see from your pic, and you can buy either from UK Flavours, which will make the quantities wrong if you select the wrong one.?

[peter12]

vg for sure

Yup, happy mixing. Glad you asked before mixing the first recipie.

I very rarely use syringes now, I was having the VG problem too, so I got mymself some of these. they work for me.

Good tip @19steve57  - will be getting some of these - I have a plastic one (also to solve the VG problem after nearly flooding the place with Nic due to a syringe malfunction),  but it's really hard to see the measures
