I did my first mix of this last week @ 10% hope it won't be too strong got it in their eastern magic pack 5 different flavours £10.06 inc postage. I've mixed them all at 10% just 5ml samples though and I haven't tried them. The Kaffir Lime smells very strong though the others seem about right. I also got this in the Eastern Magic Pack too Babs. I think you might just get away with 10% although on my next mix I'll go up to 7%. I know what you mean by the Kaffir Lime smelling strong which is why I only mixed it at 5% this time. The Rambutan needs a little more than 10% for me, works well between 15-20% and the same goes for the Lychee. I like both of the those flavours as they are unusual. Both a quite similar to each other though. I've mixed but not sampled the ginger and Lemongrass but other mixers on here have said you only need a small percentage with the lemongrass. Let me know what you think of the Kaffir Lime at 10% when you try it.

More reading here on some goods you get up to 6 years to open a dispute apparently.

Some people dilute they're vg with vodka anyhow I think so don't know if alcohol content would be a problem anyhow? Exactly boyofford, but due to CCW listing it as not suitable for vaping I just added the disclaimer to cover my backside as someone would be bound to point it out if I didn't.

Tried the Rayon on the Spheroid yesterday and again its comparable to cotton wool flavour wise. Also re-coiled and wicked a Mini Protank 2 with it today and its vaping very nicely indeed. Again subtle difference in taste compared to cotton wool.
I do like the Rayon and will probably continue to use it over cotton wool, but for me there really is just a fag paper between the two.

Cupcake World Kaffir Lime mixed at 5% 70/30 PG/VG 11mg. Steeped for 5 weeks. Vaped in a Mini Protank 2 on an Evic at 8watts with a micro coil at 1.4ohms and a Rayon wick. A very authentic smooth lime flavour. Quite refreshing with both a sweet and sour citrus effect. Could probably go as high as 10%, but a 5% mix is giving pretty decent flavour. Reminds me of the lime tang you get from Sprite and 7up. Would definitely buy and use again. Very nice. 9/10 Warning: Cupcake World list this flavour as not suitable for vaping due to its alcohol content. It is down to the individual if they choose to use this concentrate. Also would imagine it to be a tank cracker has it is quite a strong citrus.www.cupcake-world.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=144_183&products_id=1697

I have loads of needle caps for bottles and if the concentrate bottle is the right size will fit one of those to the concentrate, slip the syringe over the top and draw straight for the bottle.
Of course unfortunately not all concentrates come in bottles that the needle caps fit too though.

I did think so Des after looking around a bit and seeing average syringe prices of around 40-50p, but did wonder if people were using a supplier I hadn't found. You just never know with you canny lot. I only bought so many as I want separate syringes for different flavours, like one for menthol/mint, one for absinthe/aniseed, one for fruits etc etc

I recently bought some new Syringes off of eBay for mixing. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251398074329?var=550321996210&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649The seller sells them to use for insulin etc. I bought 5 x 10ml, 5 x 5ml & 5 x 2ml syringes. All came with needles but as they are for medical use they are pointed and the lowest gauge (you get to choose) is 21G, which like pointed needles are not ideal for mixing. Included also was 15 sterile alcohol wipes. The total cost delivered was £5.89 which I think isn't actually a bad deal for just the syringes alone. Am I right? EDIT to Add: The 10ml syringes are actually marked up to 12ml, the 5ml to 6ml and the 2ml to 2.5ml

I just got rayon off ebay Apart from it being unmarked and no receipt in it very happy I bought a metre from there too and due to the amount you need to use for wicks I can see it lasting me a long time.

After playing around with the Rayon for a few days its starting to grow on me.
Tried it in the Heron, Kayfun, Squape, AOIS and Taifun and they all give a decent vape and flavour. Still not sure if I'm getting more flavour than straight up cotton wool, but it is on par.
The thing I really like about the Rayon is it is so easy to work with.
Going to try some in the Spheroid a little later today as I have a feeling the Rayon will be the perfect wicking material for it.

I dilute boots VG by 10% with either vodka or distilled water.

It all depends really igual.
Most of their concentrates need between 20-30% but some like Honey, cream, lemongrass, kaffir lime etc need as little as 1-2%
