It's just not happening for me

minime i know you don't want to give out said recipe fair enough but if you want tell me another mix you have had the same problem with and if i have
the concentrates i will mix it and you can mix the same i will then send you mine and you can compare the two side by side .
i have most things (i think) let me know what brands you have and i will see if i have the same.

Or i have just made 2 days ago some of kreeds custard if you have the stuff to make the same i can send you 30 ml so you can try that side by side (will need 4 weeks steep min)

That only leaves the syringes you are using then.
You could try getting an empty 10mil bottle and do your 8% 8% 2% 2% mix using PG
to not waste your flavours as you would when making your mix up for a 30mil bottle of ejuice.
It should come to just over half way in the 10mil bottle, if not then its your syringe or the way you are reading them.

This like has been said is a mixers Sherlock Holmes thing.

Are you using the same size syringes for PG/VG/Nic and Concentrates. Long shot but if you are using smaller syringes for the flavourings, its possible that the digits do not represent ml?

[wildpolecat]

try a 10ml mix useing drops instead of mls if it turns out better you will know if syringe is the problem your running out of options by the looks

I think one of you fantastic chap may have found the problem.

The syringe bit got me thinking because my syringes look cheep so I found a syringe that came with some kids Medicine filled that to 5ml with water then put it in the syringe iv been usin and guess what it fills it to 7ml , now I'm bloody exited about mixing again.

Hope this is the problem if it is I could snog you lot lol.

[minime]

Had to pop back and let you all know iv just done that mix again but using that Medicean syringe ( my god that was a pain with the vg ) and you was right iv now got some flavour and if steeping is going to help it's going to be even better.

Just goes to show how you can miss one little thing even after all he bloody head scratching iv been doing for the last sodding year lol I'm a happy bunny now so a very very big thank you for all your help and suggestions I truly am grateful.

Cheers everyone Mark.

Well done, glad the mystery has been solved.

[Chrissie]

Glad to hear you are now sorted minime

[philvapes]

Gratz glad you got there is the end.

Little tip if you are going to use VG in a syringe pull the plunger out and fill it from that end.
Then just put the plunger back in and push.

Happy New Year minime Now you can mix away and enjoy. Glad the problem was solved.

minime - thank goodness that you've got the the root of your problem. I know it couldn't be the recipe, and was just wondering about the syringes you use, so brilliany news, now get some good tasty mixes on the go!!

[Deleted]

i take it you use the same syringe for say concentrates every mix then a different one for the vg and so on ?????
not the same one for everything.

[chykensa]

I use predominantly 1 x 10ml and 1 x 50ml syringe for all my mixes. I just have a bowl of hot water in the sink and flush them out thoroughly between uses. I've never had any problems with this method, and the 10ml syringe must be at least 9 months old!
I should add that for larger mixes I have a couple of plastic mixing beakers for the PG and VG

Thats pretty much what i do chykensa i have 2ml , 5 ml , 10ml syringes and also glass cylinders for bigger mix's
All i was thinking is if minime used just one syringe for everything it would not make any difference to the loss of flavour as yes they may be out by a few ml but 
the mix will still be equal in amounts

Did I win?

I'd love to say that my idea came from being a master detective and not that I had done it many a time prior.
