That's exactly how I make my DIY juices. Because I mix 99% of mine with 15% flavour I make up my base so that I can just 15% of any flavour. I can always mix up or down if I try something new.

If anybody doesn't know the N-Zonic, it's a great Mod. I have a V3 and it's rock solid.

Quick comment.
First. Welcome to the mixing club. It's well worth it.
Second. Your % flavours look very high to me as a starting point. Personally, and this is personally I never mix over 10% if I havnt tried a flavour before.
Third. Vanilla or French Vanilla is a great "base" to add other mixes into.
Well that's 3 quick comments.
Good luck with your brewing in the future.

My Kayfun has a 1.5 ohm microcoil and on full power you really notice the difference... In fact, at 12W it's a bit too much for me. It wouldn't fire my 0.8 ohm Atomic though...which is exactly what it shouldn't do! As far as I know, around 1.5 is the lowest it will work with. The original Kick only goes to 10W and the FT one is 'supposed' to go to 12W. Are you comparing the Kick2 which fires up to 15W? No, I'm comparing it to the Sigelei, but obviously it's not that simple to compare one against the other as the adjustment on both is not exactly precise. OK they both the little marks and they are so similar as to be the same thing, in fact they may be the same thing. It just seems to be a little lower powered at the top end of the range. If I use the Sig fully turned up (10W) and then use the FT one fully turned up (12W claimed) I really cant tell any difference. If I then turn the FT Kick down to around what should be 10W it's nowhere the near the Sig. Wondered if the FT one is limiting amps at full output. I'm not really bothered as I have a couple of attys that are usually wicked at around 1.8ohms and once it's in the tube and vaping well it wont get touched again for quite a while, and I agree with the other comments that it certainly works well in that that sort of range. Wish I had way of testing them, but unfortunately I haven't, but hey, for a fiver you cant really go wrong.

GV Telescopic tank by Leo and a K1 Atomizer with 2 spare ceramics for sale. GV Tank is an all Stainless tank that expands to suit the size of the atomizer used. It was designed for the Killer. GV Tank from House of Mods = £44.95 To go with it I have a K1 atomizer from Grey Haze. Billy at Grey Have modified the 510 on this improve airflow and it works perfectly. K1 from Grey Haze = £9.49. I am also throwing in two spare ceramics. The ceramic that is fitted has a slight nick out of the base but works fine, and there are two spares. All new "O" Rings (£7) fitted. (Drip tip not included.) Asking £35 for the lot, including postage etc.

Have you tied it on full power with a lowish ohm atty?
Mine doesn't quite bite the mustard. Great with atty's 1.6ohm and over but somehow not quite there below that. Looks identical to the Sigelei, in fact cant really tell them apart, but the Sig just has the edge at full power somehow.

This one is totally off the top off my head , has anyone tried to use a pipe cleaner as a wick. Sure I've read a post about this somewhere. Have you tried looking on Google?

My son uses the Aspire BDC's and loves them. He now has 2 Vivi style tanks. No leaks, no problems and a very good vape.

Perhaps we are all missing the point, and that's why I only use a syringe for measuring small amounts. One drop is not the same as another drop. Look at a few mixing calculators.
Consistency is everything.

Good review. Never really got on with Inawera flavours but each to their own.
Just one point though - "Drops".
I never use drops to measure anything as I have never trusted the accuracy, but it's generally accepted that 20 drops = 1ml. That means 9 drops in 10ml is probably pushing towards 5% flavour, not 2/2.5%

Ok in answer to the couple of questions.........
a). I'm a locksmith by trade, and treated myself to a new toy a couple of months ago. I bought a mini "milling machine". Most of the body was cut out using the machine. The lid was a slice of the timber, cut by the timber merchant. Obviously there was a certain amount of hand cutting, but the laborious stuff was on the milling machine.
b). I find myself firing it by finger. Holding the buttons away from me most of the time. Will try and get the PCB a little higher next time but the Vamo board is so bulky (2 boards piggy backed), you need a little room to run wires.
c). Yes, this one has the guts from an old MK2 Vamo, made the face plate for the board in 1.5mm stainless, with the board araldited to side cheeks and then araldited to the face plate. The box is rebated for the board to fit into and then held by small magnets.
Thanks for the comments.
