I was starting to think it was something I was doing too, been happening for the last few days now The easiest way I was sorting it was just letting it go to the start then cut and paste it to where it should be  Just realised that if you do your post in visual instead of the standard bbcode it defaults to it work perfect  |

Call me mad, but I just go on and make 10ml of every flavour straight off. If it's rubbish, I'll mix it with something else. or just never vape it.... Must be mad too lol cause I do all my testers in 10ml bottles. Have had very few that didn't end up vapable when mixed with something else even then usually found someone else who thought it was ok so they got it for free. Taste is so subjective someone will like it  |

Makes perfect sense stewarty. I'll only use this pre-mix I've made to make 1-2ml bottles then, so will only add a few drips without diluting it to much to get an idea. Great idea on making up the individual flavours too and mixing them afterwards. Also love the mental image I have of you now with two vamo's hanging out of each side of your gob.  Once I have an idea of the flavours I was thinking of weighing rather than dripping using the Liquix App too, as it does seem in theory to be a more accurate way of doing things Mark everybody is different how they do their mixes but most follow the same basic principals but maybe in a different order to get the same end result if that makes sense. Most people seem to prefer the challenge of mixing from scratch ie nic base, pg, vg and a combination of flavours in the one bottle at the same time. Others will do similar to above but make single flavours and mix these together later and some like to premix the base before adding any flavour. I don't think there is really any right or wrong way as long as you do your calculations so you end up with something tasty at your desired strength at the end of it, I have only been mixing a couple of months and to be honest am not too adventuous. My personal preference after trying all the above is getting 3 or 4 empty 30ml bottles and adding to each one 12ml of Pg nic base, 8ml of PG, 6ml of Vg giving me a total of 26ml of 80/20 base @ about 20mg once I have added 4.5ml (15%) of my desired flavour later thus giving me enough to make 90 - 120ml of 20ish mg juice when I want. May seem a funny way to do it but what I find is when I want to do a mixing session it is so easy and quick to either add 4.5ml of my tried and tested flavour to the bottle giving me 30.5ml of juice or using 10ml bottles and just decanting 8.5ml of pre mixed base and 1.5ml of flavour giving me a 10ml mix all @ about 20ish mg. Probably not the way most will do it but it works for me as the individual flavours have all steeped before I mix them together so you can try them straight away and add more of one or the other without changing the nic level |

Yes small amounts 1-2ml .. at those volumes 1-2 drops is probably sufficient. You can always add more Excellent ASH. I have already made my VG/PG/NIC Base mix to 18mg and put it in a 30ml dripper. So it's just a case of dripping a mil or 2 into some sample bottles I have and adding a drop or 2 of flavours. Like Grizzy said in his guide, do you also try them after 24 hours or so? Or leave them longer? I get it that if they taste horrible after 24 hours do not give them up for a lost cause and leave them longer, but is 24 hours a rule of thumb for first impressions so to speak? Hi Mark Only problem with that I can see is if you do not allow for your flavour in the base mix as it will end up 15 - 20% weaker. When I mix up flavourless base for experimenting I include 15% flavour in Juicemeup but don't add it in so when I add the flavour later in the small 'experiment' bottles the nic strength will be roughly what I want. I am a bit of an amateur at this mixing too but when I combine flavours what I usually do is mix my individual flavours to my required strength and then 'blend' them in a small bottle to try them, that way the nic level is exactly the same regardless of how much of each you add. If you don't mind looking like a prat another way I have tried that worked to see if 2 flavours you already like taste ok together is put them both in seperate devices, stick both in gub at same time, press both buttons and take a couple of drags, you will know straight away if it will taste good or rank without having to waste any |

Got my capella concentrates from Froggy today (speedy service as usual) and have just mixed my 1st ever Vanilla Custard @ 15% can anyone give me a heads up if this concentration is about right or will I need a little more.
I know taste is subjective but I have been reading about this flavour for months and finally gave in to trying it so maybe the 'expert mixers' could give an idea just how strong this is.
Smells so tasty already ..... don't know how long I can wait to try it

Received my new Riva kit today and some 54 PG, some PG and some VG. Also two flavours - Doppio Expresso and Choc Banana. All from vape escape. Over the last couple of weeks Ive been toiling with my skycig kit, has been actually becoming more of an endurance than a pleasure. Their flavours were not satisfying and I kept either getting nicotine OD or the opposite. Well have just mixed a 14mg strength; 70/30 PG/VG; Doppio Expresso (15%) , filled a cart for my new Riva - and literally cant believe the whole new and much better level Ive just experienced. Im sure I will be a dedicated self mixer from here on in as it gives me the freedom to vary strengths and flavours easily. Think that tastes nice Andy wait till it has had a chance to steep will taste even better. Welcome to vaping heaven |

Never had any problems with any of mine unless I overfill them, then you tend to get a bit of a gurgle from it till the level drops a bit
