    I just wanted a little spare nic to add to the 3 litres I already have,I should have enough now to last me til boot hill arrives:D:D:D
    I need to get more pre-mixed concentrates,I haven't got the patience anymore for recipes like yourself do,I've tried a few from picnmix,cinnamon toast crunch is the best I've tasted from there,I wanted to try that key lime cheesecake but I've mislaid the bottle somewhere,maybe that's a good thing:D:D
    Anyone got any recco's for pre-mixed concentrates,no menthol ones.

    SorryI just read your post again,it was base that you were talking about,nearly the same answer as above,I have 4 litres VG & 1 litre PG already lying around.

    Yeah I add 2 per cent Ethyl in the mix,never tried them without it so I can't say what they'd be like but they do need a good steep, I usually leave them 4 weeks and they are good to go after that,for me anyway.

    Last time I got an order from them they had just moved from France to Berlin and there was a discount of 20 per cent and free shipping so I got a good few of the one's I knew I'd like, still have some now that I think of it. Must check them out this week and stock up on a few more.

    I enjoy the actual creative process of coming up with new mixes, but I understand that it's not for everyone. End of the day, once you can whip up something tasty and cheap! You're good :)

    I have 4-5 regular mixes I can whip up without needing to think, they're as easy to me as pre-mix concentrates, as they are the ones I will vape most regular. But I will always have something alt or experimental brewing on the side :D

    I have a lot of one-off private ones, but anything I let public means I enjoyed it and would make again at least :)

    Depends what you like personally? Or if you have any juices you'd like to try replicate or mix something similar to?

    When I started all I wanted was to mix up some simple strawberry cheesecake, and some butterscotch custard. Now some of my personal favorites are Greek yogurts. So I would always suggest mixers try TFA Greek yogurt and whatever fruits you fancy. Others that I would recommend in general that are easy to get along with:

    TFA: Cheesecake Graham crust, Bavarian cream, Vanilla bean ice cream, Strawberry ripe [and/or Sweet strawberry], Banana cream, Butterscotch, Blueberry wild

    Capella: Vanilla custard [V1], New York cheesecake, Peaches and cream

    FlavourArt: Marshmallow, Meringue, Fuji apple, Vienna cream, Forest mix

    Inawera: Blackcurrant, pineapple, pear, grape

    You'll need to get familiar with different concentrate strengths, which ones are good for mains, or more as backing 'notes' etc ..

    You should have a look over on https://e-liquid-recipes.com/

    Sign up and you can mess about with the recipe calculator, check out other people mixes and look up flavorings. You'll find notes from other mixers on each, what % they tend to use, the flavor profile, and then you'll find recipes using that particular concentrate and you can set them in order of popularity/star rating.

    Hiya guys,

    First time posting in this section. I've read a bit about the new regulations coming in and I'm looking at maybe going down the DIY line and making some. I have been using dekang 18mg menthol and I was just wondering if that would be possible to replicate? Thanks.

    Not sure about the Dekang menthol but there are loads of different menthols that you can mix at 18mg or any strength of nicotine you like.

    Maybe others will chime in here & answer your question about the Dekang menthol if they know...

    Menthol is some of the cheapest stuff to make and I'd say most flavours use menthol crystals as the main ingredient (if not the only ingredient). Buy menthol crystals online anywhere you can, mix it with PG at 10% by weight and you have a standard menthol concentrate. All you need is PG, VG, menthol crystals and nicotine.

    You will only be able to buy 10ml bottles of nic & it will be only 2.0mg,as you can see on my order,the nic is 7.2mg which is over 3 times stronger.
    That's why we are loading up with nic before May...

    darkstarvapours and chefsflavours are all I use. Don't know if either sell menthol crystals but they have all sorts of minty flavours. Darkstar have a regular menthol from FlavorWest

    First attempt tonight. Mixed 4 different 10ml bottles. Took me about 30mins start to finish.

    Now the waiting begins. Think the nic will last me an age. Only used about 3ml

    Aye, tobaccos, custards or bakeries are best after a couple of weeks, but simple fruity mixes or light creams can be good to go, though will still improve with time. Just place back into your cupboard after use each time and it'll continue steeping anyway :)
