If your nic is VG based and you want 3mg - 140ml WC & 170ml banofee then you're good to go.


16% on the banofee is the recommend percentage, yea?

15 % is recommended but I wanted a little more maybe I'll boost to 18 not entirely sure yet.

I like strong, have learnt to give all one shots a little boost above recommended..... Welsh I mixed at %20 and it's nice but if I did it again I would go 25%

Yeah Welsh is lovely. I loved their ready made one so bought the conc. I may go to 22%

[pj1967]

I mix welsh at 25% spot on for me.

[peter12]

Probably should have gone with 25

All done now. Made about 140 -150 ish of Welsh and same in banoffee. Was good using pop bottle as I had tons of room to shake. Turned very cloudy and murky.

I wonder if a biology type centrifuge would make steeping super fast

I've read that a centrifuge 'pushes' all the liquid in the same direction so wouldn't mix it up at all.
A magnetic mixer with a (low) heated deck is probably the best device for rapid steeping but - unless you fancy constructing one yourself - they're a bit expensive.

Again you won't like what I say peter12 . . . . but mixing huge volumes of anything isn't a great idea until you're absolutely certain you've got the flavour percentages correct for your tastes. Not only does it lead to disappointment, but it can be frustrating having to tinker further with such a large amount to get it right for you.

I've been mixing close on for 5 years now, the largest quantity of anything I've mixed, which have been well tried and tested recipes - is 100ml.

Flavours new to me I start out with 10-20ml . . . . less waste, less disappointment if they're not quite right.


And there is no such thing as super fast steeping - unless you want dry, tasteless mixes . . . . . . .

There is no substitute for TIME with steeping.

Shake it, change the air in the bottle..........then put it in a drawer for the required time.

Hi peter12 if your as impatient as your posts suggest, then I would stick to premixed purchases, as you're never going to get results that satisfy you. As many others have said there is no substitute for Steeping TIME be it weeks or months especially for dessert styles and other complex mixes.

[peter12]

sydsut Perpetua kreed I will be patient. Woukd rather have something I enjoy than rush it (even if I am impatient) in the meantime I will buy ready made to keep me going. And in around 3 weeks or so time I will make another large batch of Welsh custard and banoffee. This way I will always have a batch ready when I finish the one I am on

[phatfil]

for shake n vape try heisenburg, redastare, type concentrates.. seems as if they steep in the concentrate bottle and the PG base ok,

I wouldn't make another large batch until your happy with the one you've got steeping now.
