The quality of the base nic is important - but different bases can taste better with different flavours. I usually get Nicvape's nic as i like the clean taste - but also it works well with whatever flavour i choose. Pirate vape - a while back - reduced some of his nic for being 'dirty' - nowt wrong just meant it was perfect for tobacco juice but 'tainted' the flavour of something more delicate. I have a fondness for Mom and Pop's concentrates - just mix at thy preferred percentage and steep. VG based and enough variety of flavours for most tastes. Plus Mom is pretty OCD about always keeping her mixing lad Clean and sterile - which i have sympathy for but a huge bonus as a customer. The Aroma Zone 'French Organic' VG i discovered here in China - is less chemically and has a slightly more 'fruity' sweetness to it - and seems very clean, comapred to Boots own (usually bought at 3 for 2 prices). It could all be placebo effect, or purely in the imagination - but if it adds to the enjoyment of thy juice - who cares What sort of percentage do you use mom and pops at. still trying to get some guidelines to the various companies, as they seem to vary so much, used some flavour arts vimtonic and had to dilute it...initially went at 20% !!

I am making my mixes up with no nic which strangely may be the reason for the diff taste to my expectations as i have still been purchasing my ready mades at 0.3 ????

Thx for the replies. I have been ageing ....steeping so that shouldn't be an issue. The first lot of base was from flavourhouse i think. Just ordered from lubrisolve so see how we get on there. Will keep going. Have got 1 or 2 going nicely

Simple question, does the source matter, if they are pharmagrade or high food grade are they fundamentally the same. The appears a wide range of sizes , prices etc on fleabay . My last lot was £19.50 for 2 lts + 2lts, but if I am honest, I have tried lots of flavours with it so far, including known favs from joosejuice and I am not quite capturing the same taste, even though I am using the same %, so now I am wondering...is it the base mix that is dissimilar.
Your thoughts are welcome...before I reorder more base mix lol

Does anyone have one of these that is not used... I recently got the D4 which didn't have one supplied with it. I have/had this lead for the 2 cell charger but for the life of me I don't know where it is now, and as I do longish fishing sessions this would be so useful.
Cheers for looking

Well, made up 8 of the flavours today, 4x 40ml ...2ml flav and 4x20 ml...1ml flav, so give them a couple of weeks and will give them a blast.
Christmas arrived today with my TFV4 from Gearbest.... was very impressed with the initial taste.... xcube was almost too much....dropped it on the istick 50 for a taste and at least it didn't explode the vapour at me.....then i realised the installed coil is the triple....omg....i will be in trouble when I try the quad!!!!

ok, my math is wrong, but I always thought if you make 100 ml of mix, and it was 80/20 ml then surely that is 25% flavour. I do see what you mean by 20% of the total though

convert to a fraction and multiply. 20% = 1/5 5*60= 300 300 ml produced from 60ml at 20%. cheers I Wouldn't it make 360ml?

sorry, wasn't dissing your suggestion, just thought they would all taste damn strong to my uneducated palette

Give them a lick/taste test fisher , to see how strong/weak they appear to your tastes . . . . it's not an exact science, but it does always help me decide what ratios to go in at with any new concentrates. Sounds good if you are experienced at this, but as a newbie, I don't really have a reference point to go with on the taste thing

once again thx, I think with the strength of these flavours I better use a different syringe on each...or at least clean and dry it, normally the strength I have used a bit of cross contamination didn't really matter. Saying that I am really really new at this part of things
