a bit disappointed with the results of my first DIY juices

[rzil]

A fellow vaper told me about T-juice concentrates and I've decided to use them for my first DIY set of bottles.

I got 3 bottles of 10ML ,each with 15% concentrates and even though he told me they are pretty good without steeping they were disgusting.

anyway , they sit in the closet for about 10 days with the cap on but the smell is still pretty intense so I'm not sure if it's the right time to try them ? the question is if after 10 days of steeping it's still no good ? will it ever be good enough?

You need to share more information for a proper answer. It sounds like your trying to vape straight concentrates and if so it would be no surprise that thay are disgusting. How did you mix the concentrates, what kind of base liquids did you use? From your post it sounds like you got three 10 ml bottles of concentrates, correct? What is the 15%? Is it the ratio you mixed at? Very difficult to help without more exact information.

oh of course not , I'm mixing it with 85% 9MG 70%/30% PG/VG ratio .

perhaps their recommendation on 15% for flavor is a bit too high for me

Are you saying they are too strong? Sounds like they need to be cut down to maybe 7% flavor and the rest base/nic. You could cut those bottles in half and just add base and nic with that ratio. You could try 10% flavor, that'd still be kinda strong.

I've never heard of T-Juice concentrates, but I agree that you're probably using too much flavoring.
Most of my single flavors require around 5%. A few of them taste terrible if I even go above 2% because they're so strong. Start low and work your way up.

Never heard of it but google has. Several reviews and forums out of the UK. Sounds like wait 12-24 hours before vaping and 10ml concentrate is designed for 50ml of juice? or maybe its mix with 50ml base for a total of 60. Sounds like mixed-flavor recipes not individual flavors.

Yes it's a company located in the U.K , 1 of the guys from the Israeli forum was very excited to know that they sell concentrates of their juices so I figured it worth a try .

I guess you are right , the intense smell is probably because of too much flavoring , I'll make 5-10% bottle in few days and see what I get from it .

You can still dilute the ones you already made down to 10% and if it's still too strong go to 5%. No need to waste as you used more rather than less; you can correct it.

Those TJuice concentrates are pretty weak with most people making them up at 15-20%, I didn't like any of the ones I tried, they tasted of TFA flavourings mixed, rebranded and watered down to me. Red Astaire is the one that everyone seems to love and I haven't tried that though, which ones were you using?

Beginning DIY, get flavors from Capella. 15% for most of them, and you will be happy with the results. They are very consistent. Once I got my feet wet with those, I branched out into others which require a bit more patience and experience. Good luck!

You might be able to get some FlavorArt brand too, as their based in Italy.

They typically require less than 5%, and are a favorite among many here, myself included.

Well I just took a leap of faith and gave my DIY Red Astaire a shot even thought I don't have a RDA for testing my DIY juices...

It's vapable , not fantastic but ok for me .
