Thanks for the input guys, I guess it's just a case of perfecting each mix one by one until you have a bank of great recipes. With taste being so subjective it's good to hear the method around creating the blends that are perfect for you. I'll keep plugging away with it and I'm sure I'll get there in the end I just want to make sure I'm on the right track to begin with. I did my first mixes 2 weeks ago and I'll try them this week and go from there.

I think I'm still in the mentality of a cook where you can taste it, add something to it, taste it again and keep doing this until it's right. More patience needed for this!

If the first sale doesn't work out I'd happily take it off your hands

Hi, I’ve been lurking around these pages for a while and looking to give my first mix a go, mainly because I wanted to try the fabled “Red Astair” but really don’t like the 80/20 mix T-juice use. I’m going to start off simple, just using 1 flavour and then experiment with it to find out what kind of PG/VG ratios, nic strength and flavour % suits me.

A couple of questions I have first.
    1) What size batches are best to make when first starting out?
    2) I see a lot of people measuring things in drops. Is there a good reason to use drops over a 1ml syringe? From a first timers perspective it seems a lot less precise.
    3) Why do people use AVG or put vodka into VG? Is this something that should be used in all mixes or just high VG one? (I’m probably going to be mixing around 50/50     or 60/40 I think)
    4) All the posts I’ve read people either use 100% PG or VG nic base. When I was looking for supplies I saw they did a 50/50 base. Has anyone used this before or is     there a good reason not to use it? After putting a few numbers through the mix calc it seems to offer a hell of a lot more flexibility than a 100% base.
    5) Are there any concentrates that are a “must have”? So far the flavours I have enjoyed are more fruity and dessert type juices.
    6) Are things like MTS and Magic Mask worth getting when you first start out or is it something that’s better used when you start making more complex flavours?
    7) Menthol flavourings. What’s the best/easiest way of giving your mixes that fresh feeling?

Any help or advice from you guys would be highly appreciated.

Yeah but I've vaped stuff straight away and left some for 2 weeks yet found the same with all of them. How long do they need to steep before they are like that straight away or is it something in the tank that improves them? Has anyone else found this?

I think it was because I wasn't using enough cotton wool. I was reading the forums about it and someone said that you should use half the amount that you think it should be and I think that stuck with me. Tried it again now with more and it works perfectly, thanks guys! It only works on my mini protank adaptor and not my evod one though. Whereas they did the first time I tried them?

Thanks to the hero that is babs I'm getting some pre-made coils sent over to try out wicking with cotton wool. I'll see how that goes and hopefully will get a much improved flavour! Thanks for all the help guys!

One last thing. With the resistance of coils, am I right in saying lower resistance makes for a harsher, full on vape where as higher is for a smoother, subtle vape?
