Healthcabin Flavourings

[maccafan]

In the recent GB I got:

Fruit: Apple & Banana

Beverage: Coffee

Tobacco: RY4 & Flue Cured Tobacco

Sweet: Caramel

I mixed up a batch of e-juices in 5ml quantities @ 24mg strength and approx 70/30 PG/VG ratio. Flavouring ratio was 0.5 ml so 10%.

The fruit flavours are excellent. The apple is particularly good and the banan is a close second.

The tobacco flavours are very weak. Looks like I need to up the flavouring percentage. I bought the caramel to spice up the RY4 in case I needed it and used about 4% in the RY4 mix but it's still lacking.

Haven't tried the coffee yet but it smells quite nice @ 10%.

Will report back when I up the flavouring for the next batch. So how have the others found HC Flavourings?

Good news macca ive ordered around 10 fruit flavourings from the HC buy which i should recieve next week...cant wait

I've only tried the RY4 flavouring Macca, as tobacco's don't rock my world thesedays.

The RY4 is notoriously weak . . . mix mine at around 40%, with some Caramel thrown in for good measure . . . fruits I do at 15-20% as I find them to be more intense, a lttle Dulce de Leche gives quite a pleasant ' ice cream ' element to them as well.

Pleased in the main that you're enjoying them, I'd imagine that they're rebranded Hangsen/Dekang, although I've never asked Amy.

Dunno how you do it Perpetua. At 10% this apple tastes like double apple flavouring to me and the banana one too..

I'll go for a 20% flavour mix next time with another 5 % caramel and see how I get on..

Kernackered taste buds really Macca . . . to test DV's flavours at the Mini Meet, I just direct dripped them neat onto a 306, even then some of them tasted on the weak side to me.

Yeah..when I got some of your deaded stuff, my house smelt of coffee for a couple of day afterwards..

Which tobacco flavours are good? I tried some TPA and they were ok..But I really want to mix something like Vermillion River juice..That Applewood Tobacco is delish..

Macca, if you manage to mix VR juices I'll buy your recipe

:-[ . . . even the Virgin Engineer remarked upon the lovely smell ( his words ) in my house.

I'll have to bow out of the Tobacco flavour recommendations though, as I just don't vape/mix them now . . . but I found some of TW's were quite pleasant when I did Macca.

i think grizwald stated he mixed dv ry4 at 40%....guess it might be a weak flavour.

I bought A LOT of flavourings and some 24mg PG Base, can anyone help me with the mixing. I have some pre-diluted VG from vapescape, so I want to dilute the strength and PG down a bit with the VG and add flavouring to get around 18mg.

[maccafan]

What PG/VG ratio are you looking for?

Will this help?

That's why i asked 'will this help?'

I didn't state 'this will help' lol

Hypnoclown,

To get from 24mg to 18mg you gotta dilute it down by 1 drop of dilutant (VG or flavour) for every 3 drops of the base.

How much VG you can get in there depends on the strength of the flavour. You will have to experiment with different flavour ratios to your desired taste/flavour and make the rest of it up with VG. Start with 10% flavour if it is fruit flavours or 20% if it is tobacco flavour.

So just to give you an idea:

9 ml PG base

1.5 ml flavouring

1.5 ml VG

will give you 12ml of 18mg juice with approx 85/15 PG/VG and 12.5% flavour.
