I'm finding with the inawera stuff that 4% concentrate is plenty, they recommend 3% for a lot of flavours.

For 10ml of juice you would only need 0.4ml of concentrate.
You could use 5ml of PG36mg, 2ml of 0mg pg and 2.6ml of 0mg vg and then you should end up with a wee bit less than 18mg liquid.
If you find there's not enough flavour you can then just add in 1 drop more of concentrate at a time. Thats the way I'm doing it except I do 50/50 pg/vg ratio.

I use a 1ml syringe to measure out the concentrate and 5ml syringe for measuring the pg and vg, I didn't find the pipettes accurate enough.

You can also use the eliquid calculator as well to get a more accurate pg/vg ratio.

so far in the cart i have

PG 36mg 100ml
PG 0mg 100ml
VG 0mg 100ml

Would i be right in thinking the following?
5ml of PG 36mg
+
2ml of PG 0mg
+
2 ml of VG 0mg
+
1 ml of flavor will give me

10ml of 18mg juice? or have i got it all completely wrong?

ah i see, i thought the flavor would be measured in mls!

It is in mls but .4 of a ml is 4% of 10ml. If you put in the full 1ml it would be 10% concentrate which may be too strong especially for some of them flavours. Its better to put in too little because you can always add a bit more if you find its not strong enough after steeping. I got an orange concentrate yesterday and I could smell it before I even opened the box.

I find the syringes give a more accurate percentage, a lot of people have recipes for amount of drops, but being just a beginner myself I felt more comfortable seeing exact measurements when measuring out.

Ah yes i see i see!

right, gonna put an order in on monday, only going to get 300ml of base fluids, VG, PG, and PG with Nic.

that should do me a long while, if i like the flavors that is!

In the meantime while your waiting to start have a good look read through the information on the links above as well as there are lots of good tips to be got there.

they have a base that's 50:50 pg/vg if you dont want to fiddle about with 3 different bottles of base

[eeloe]

http://www.inaweraflavours.com/en/12-nico

That one yeah?

Does the base fluid have a flavor it self? is it sweet, bitter or bland? i see some cats on youtube adding a sweetener to their mixes? is this really need?

would 500ml of base fluid, and say 20-30euro worth of flavorings do me?

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

yeah that's the stuff

tbh for your first order I'd reccomend you order a smaller amount of juice, maybe 100ml 36 and 100ml 0mg and enough somewhere around 10 flavours just so you get a feel for what flavours you might like. then when you know there are 2-3 you like, you can make a large order for flavourings and bases

I made a huge order my first time and while I did use up all the base eventually, I'm left with a ridiculous amount of flavourings I still haven't bothered trying out because I dont have enough 5ml bottles to test them it gets unwieldy

also I think inawera.com works out a bit cheaper than inaweraflavours.com

oh
and
http://www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=26

cheap enough bottles (better than the inawera bottles imo) and great pipettes. the inawera pipettes are ****ing terrible, a couple of 3ml/1ml ones from liberty flights will sort you out for mixing small batches and free delivery from LT

oh andyeah I think the bases have a very mild flavour. I dunno, cant say I ever vaped dthem on their own or noticed anything weird in my mixes.
I didnt like that dirty neutral base (tobacco base) at all though. ruined any juice I tried to make.

[eeloe]

Sweet, i'll get on the case over the weekend picking flavours and so on!

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

any of the inawera fruit flavours i've tried have been pretty good, very faithful to the actual thing. banana and pineapple especially

[eeloe]

It's only the fruit and Cola flavors i'm interested in, not gonna go mad trying to make some mad concoction or anything, maybe a minty one too for a change....see how i fare out, i'm gonna have to start keeping hold of my old juice bottles instead of tossing them!

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

dont order too much (any) of the red cola

it smells very cola like in the bottle but when I mixed it.. jesus christ no
just... no

oh and the eucalyptus flavour is lovely. i normally hate menthol but I'd happily vape this all day

[eeloe]

When i get dekang juices, i always throw in a bottle of their red cola, love the stuff...

is it anything at all like that?

[Sir Digby Chicken Caesar]

it wasnt for me anyway

when you smell the bottle of flavouring there is a cola hint, but a very strong kinda chemical lemon flavour. when I diy'd the juice the only flavour that came through was that chemical lemonish flavour, it was rank.

[eeloe]

euch...i'll pass on that then!
