Got 2 Vamos and they are great and accurate at reading OHMs so good choice! You're right there are some good flavours out there and I like the idea of a database with recommendations of what we could buy and what we might avoid. The only problem I heard with the Vamo was the spring issue, which was not brass and very weak, but this has been rectified and I think it's hard to beat for the money! You could give me some advice on dripping the vamo ?, I like to mix and sample in a hurry and need a good system that dont taste to much of the previous juice. |

Not had a bad Capella flavour yet and most are scrumtulicious like the vanilla custard, waffle and the hazelnut, which actually makes a nice blend altogether  Its good to hear. Im not going to avoid any particular brand, Ill try them all, shit gets the spotlight but when you look at the bigger picture there is a lot of stuff that works well and lots more to be checked out. Ive ordered a vamo vv but the more I was looking at the board the more I was seeing the unlucky ones that was having trouble and it nearly put me off. I think the concentrates are a bit of the same, a few flavours that dont take well to e juice dont make the whole brand a no go zone, looking forward to the next disaster but there will be lots of success that far out weighs the odd blip  |

just had same trouble of seperation with lime flavouring from LT Ecigs, have fired off an email asking for ingredients as had no info when ordering, live and learn  also tried a small sample no nic mix, the flavour itself is lovely but ate away the polycarbonate within minutes so down the sink it went and ce5 in the bin. Ive mixed classikool lime today Ive mentioned it a few posts back. It looks a pasty polythene colour minutes after mixing but starts to come clear when warmed up and moved about. I put some in an atti it was a bad wicker at first but came good. I think its one you have to steep no mix and vape on that one. |

I looks like pulp from a compressed fruit at the bottom....never seen this before but not been vaping that long. As Frogster says, these are made for food so you may be out of luck with this one. I stick with TPA, Capella and CCW as they seem to be, in the majority, the most talked about concentrates on AAEC. What does the clear part taste like? Maybe you could use that in a sample! The tutifruti clear part wont dilute at all. The other flavours are fine. I only bought them because they was the first returns on the ebay search engine. Ill be adding cup cake and other brands to my kit, Im not to deep into it at the minute but Ive a feeling there is no fixed percentage of concentrate that needs to be added to a juice if you was to stick with one brand or take a sample from many. The ccw fruti does the same thing but the brand does have write ups on the forum and Ill be taking some of there concentrates further down the line. Im pretty sure the clear part is just to bulk the bottom juice up and make a full bottle the top is weak but the bottom has the strengh of a thousand chewits. |

Hi OXO, I would have thought any oil in the liquid would rise to the top. Is the pic you posted the concentrate only or a mix? Its concentrate, I bought 6 flavours, that was the only one with colour, all the others are totally transparent, and Ill be wary of buying any other coloured concentrate. Ive dubbed my finger at it I couldnt say for sure its oil, it tastes of citrus fruit but nothing to strong and thats undilute. Should pour it down the sink but I think ill stick a syringe down and take a sample of the bottom maybe that packs a punch. Just stuck a pipet down and got a sample it made my tongue go warm with a burst of over powering flavour then nothing like anaesthetic,  |

Apple can be quite ' tart ' Oxo, I wouldn't call it a sweet flavour . . . if you want a sweetener then TPA do one, it's Sucralose based ( ECW sell it ) . . . only a couple of drops needed as it is quite potent. Cheers Perpetua Is there any other flavour enhancements I might need to aid my concentrates ? all advice is gracefully receive theres a lot of info on the forum but it take some wading through |

Depends whose make the original concentrate was, plus the eliquid you bought, may have had some additional sweetener in it Oxo. I would like it a tad sweeter, Ive some apple concentrate that I havent tried, Ive only ever mixed one flavour in a juice so I could do with ideas what are good concentrates mix well to simulate sweetners. Im guessing apple might. |

Flavour is up to you really, put in what you need for the intensity you want, I'm currently using about 25% flavour. Dave Ive put 30% not to keen to go beyond that point, maybe Im expecting to much from the flavour I would score it 6 out of 10 and an acceptable vape. |

I coulnt tell you.
But a tip that works for me.
Eat rich tea biscuits and have a cuppa to purge your mouth, I had some real strong sasperella one morning and coulnt taste a vape all afternoon but that did the trick. It could just be previous flavours dumbing it down.

Blueberry was the first flavour I vaped once I left the tobacco flavours, I remember the strong sweet juicy taste that set me off onto other fruit flavours. Its a taste I want to revisit, as yet I havent tasted any that can recapture that first taste. So my first impression of the CK Bberry is its missing a bit of sweetness to it, Mixed at quite an high %age it still is no stronger than shop prepared juice. Im not sure how high its wise to pump up the flavouring, but overall the mix is as good Ive tried looking for that first fruit tasting, its one Ill always keep on hand and look to improve. ecigvape.com/lk/e408hxftkd |

Perhaps what too buy would be better. Anyway take some time and have a really, really good read of the 'Mixology' section. There is a shed load of great info in there, but any questions, just ask away, someone will probably know the answer. There are a lot of experienced mixers on here (including some commercial ones) Im not put off, Ive bought 6 concentrates 1 duffer and 1 problematic (lime) but Im sure it can be tweaked its been steeping for 3hours now and has become a little clearer, The amount I put in the tank started to wick and clear as it got warmed up. Us new starters have no time for steeping that can come later, Ill test the other juice tonight after its stood for a bit  |

I havent attempted a mix with the tutifruity, I have only putt some of the upper concentrate in with some PG vg mix to see if it would dilute. Im not going to bother trying to get at the stuff at the bottom of the concentrate bottle I suspect it will dilute but it only represnts less than 20% of the concentrate and looks really cloudy. Ill try and get the web cam to grab a pic. Doesn't sound good does it? Must be some sort of oil in there by the sound of it.  It dont move like oil could be some ultra thin oil I suppose, If there a bin it thread? Im going to buy more flavours over time and what not to buy is the best advise for new mixes as myself. |

So both CCW and Klassikool Tutifruti concentrates separate? I wonder if they are made by the same manufacturer. Oxo, I presume from your figures you have put 10% flavour?. How long have you steeped it for? I havent attempted a mix with the tutifruity, I have only putt some of the upper concentrate in with some PG vg mix to see if it would dilute. Im not going to bother trying to get at the stuff at the bottom of the concentrate bottle I suspect it will dilute but it only represnts less than 20% of the concentrate and looks really cloudy.

I took delivery of my classiKool concentrates today, Ive found and joined the forum after after placing my order and was a bit cheesed off after reading about the tutifruti.
Ive a 50ml bottle at £7 looking quite the same as the pic in the OP, its got about 5cm of amberish liquid flouting above 1cm of yellowish green.
I can shake the bottle and it separates within 30secs.
I tried seeing if the amber bit would mix with some PG, it didnt but it managed to cease up my 1ml syringe.
Ive moved on to check out the lovely lime, its tasting good but is wicking to slow, I mean real slow.
It goes a pasty looking transparent after being mixed with the PG 60% VG 30% mix and its viscosity dont appear at all on the thick side, Shall have to try some vodka see if it gets it moving up the wick.
Ive blue berry and peach mixed with some pg vg just to see if they to change there appearance to what they was in the bottle, but they are looking fine and shall be trying them out later,
