Ok this may seem a dumb question but what is Japanese cotton and why is it better than normal cotton?

I have mixed a lot of e-liquid, some better than others but I am finding that they have no, how to explain this, depth? The flavour is there but they are thin? I don’t mean lack of vg, I bought 50/50 pre made and have stuck to that with my mixing. Is it a case of adding more flavour concentrate? I am all about flavour and mix at 20% plus depending on what concentrate / recipe etc. I am struggling to explain but they all seem to be lacking something, they don’t fill my mouth with flavour like premades did. Sorry this is a bit vague but hoping someone may have some ideas Just a thought but it would be worth trying a different pre mix base. I can mix some unflavoured base and post to you if you want to try that. Just let me know what PG/VG and nic you would like and PM your address to me. The only other suggestion I can make is get some MTS vape wizard and try adding 0.5-1% to a mix to try

Just got my order. Very nicely packaged,and safe. I am just wondering what kind of percentages I should start with? I got the triple strength flavours. Thanks. It depends what you are mixing. Some of the triple strength are 2-3% others can go up to 10% or even higher.

My apologies I thought I posed here earlier! Thanks for being so understanding about it I'll stop stressing! If it makes you feel any better I had some concentrates delivered today from a vendor and one of them was out of date ???

I tried a couple this morning and I think they need a few more days steepng, still a bit harsh but they are starting to smell great.
I tried Funky Pineapple, Fizzy cola and Glamour Chocolate. Does anybody else have these flavours?

The ratio should always be made clear on the bottle, but I don't think it is correct to equate ratio with quality I have only use 100% PG for almost 2 years, it's not for everyone, but I have been trying 80% VG and find the flavour very muted with almost no throat hit, both are DIY. I don't believe that ratio is equated to quality but it does seem that most of the 'cheaper' liquids are PG heavy. No idea why this is, price? , flavour use?, less steeping? The ratio doesn't make a juice worse or better, but this is info that should be clearly stated up front on the web site and on the bottle. you shouldn't have to go chasing the supplier to give you the info. Anyway it doesn't really matter to me now I am almost totally DIY, I only buy pre mixed to try new stuff and then only if they state the ratio up front.

To be honest most commercial e-liquid will be heavy on PG up to 80% PG. Websites dont state this ratio because they dont know what difference it makes (or they want you to think it's more VG)
Premium e-liquid are USUALLY around 50/50.
It's really only artisan juice that will be VG heavy. These are the type of juice where the people selling understand and care about the liquid they supply.
I do think that a website should state the ratio. If they dont list it I wont buy it. Simples

Hi all, GeRs Around 3-4% for these concentrates and definitely only a max of 5% otherwise you wont get a true taste of the flavours. rughead121 and Roger we have some new lines of tobacco flavourings coming in. Again always hit and miss with any flavour to get one that everyone likes and appreciate any feedback, so noted for a Vaginia type to be added too Should be a winner with the chaps Sarah. PMSL here. Sounds like it will go well with the spotted dick I am getting after lunch

I don't usually mix up tobacco flavours but got the 2 samples from UK flavours. Does anyone know what the best percentage is for mixing these concentrates? Cheers I mix them around 5% Admittedly not for me but my mate loves it Maybe Sarah @ukflavours will have a better recommendation
