Just a quick thought. Are these % recommendations for food use? Adding these flavours to food you need an awful lot less than if you use in e-liquid
It may be worth making a small trial of one with 10% flavour.
I think you need more time steeping. I would give it at least a week and probably 2

Drink far too much coffee with no sugar. Can take or leave sugar in tea but usually have it without. Only drink 'diet' drinks (even with my Big Mac & large Fries) Absolutely love sweet vapes, the sweeter the better. I even add 4% sweetener to my Menthol  |

As an example if you wanted to make 10ml of juice at 50/50 PG/VG your total PG will be 5ml and your total VG will be 5ml.
You choose a flavour to use at 20% so you will add 2ml of flavour but this is PG based so you will deduct 2ml from your total PG to add.
Your Nic base is 72mg VG base and you want 14mg strength so you will add 20% nic base or 2ml but this is VG so must be deducted from your total.
Your resulting recipe looks like this:
Nic base 2ml
Flavour 2ml
PG 3ml
VG 3ml

Yes they will change the ratio of PG/VG. If you use a mixing calculator you enter into it your nic strength and its PG/VG content then it works it all out for you  The only differenc I can see is the VG Nic is thicker but you would expect that as VG is thicker than PG. There is no taste and the throat hit is the same with either |

No difference at all really. It's just your preference what base your nic is in.
Personally I have a bottle of PG nic and a bottle of VG nic. depending on my mix ratio I will use whicever one suits although I do seem to use more VG nic

I can't believe I did this My first ever mix of custard lovechild was mixed a month ago today and I have managed to keep my grubby little hands off of it so far. Anyway a whole month steeping is long enough so I thinks I can now get it out and have a bash at it. I reverently take out the bottle from THE DRAWER. gently unscrew the top for a little sniff and......... Sneeze and drop the bottle, the stopper flies out and my custard lovechild is all over the floor  I have enough left for 1 tank full and while it is blooming lovely I can't stop thinking of all that custardy goodness I had to mop up. Just to top it all Mrs Rughead had a right go at me about the smell then complains because I had a few harsh words  |

Yup, we rate our menthol concentrate at "The Max".... In fact it is the Max that the PG can absorb and hold the menthol crystals, without them reforming.... Or in the words of a layman.... "Bloody Strong"!  Since I started mixing I have chucked away more juice because of Frogster (The Alchemist)'s *devilish*Menthol concentrate than anything else  Might have something to do with me being so ham fisted......  Nope Can't be me. It's the Frogsters fault |

Ok So tell me if I am being dumb here Does anybody know why I can't use these Vanillin Crystals www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BHEFCWY Seems so much cheaper than the 10g bags that others sell but usually that means there is a reason not to use them. |

Ok The title may be a bit deceptive.
I am looking for a Coffee concentrate that doesn't have a bitter after-taste. I want to use it in a dessert so I am looking for something quite subtle and delicate.
I have tried a couple but they all have a bitter after-taste (some very bitter).
Any recommendations would be welcome.
