I use 18mg 70/30 and none of the 50+ FW/MBV flavors I've used are good over 13%
Almost all are very strong at 12.5%.

What ratio/nic strength do you get good flavor at 20% with?

Just to play devil's advocate..... I mix almost all of my 35+ FW flavors at 15%.

As I understand it, FDA requires *food products* to expire within TWO years (including bottled water). As one who does a LOT of cooking, I pay no attention to expiration dates for items such as flavoring, syrup, water, rice, noodles, etc. If I've kept everything sealed well, it should still be good for a very long time. (Some of my home canned veggies have been excellent, even after 10 years!)

I use TFA and FW for my eliquids. TFA is much more concentrated with stronger flavors, so I use less flavoring in my mixes, but with FW, I use a LOT more flavoring. The last time I placed an order, they didn't have the eliquid flavorings, so I don't know if those are any more concentrated or not. Anywhoo, I normally mix FW at 20% to 30% of my mix, and the 4oz bottles last a good while. (I vape a lot. :vapor:)

I DO wish I could find a good, strong SASSAFRAS flavor. TFA had the best, but they discontinued after I fell in love with it! :(
The FW Sassafras is too weak for my taste, but it does add pleasant flavor tones in a mix. :) :2c:

What nic strength and ratio?
Usually I vape 6mg nic, in a 50/50 PG/VG mix.

HOWEVER, with FW, because I use more flavoring (which dilutes my eliquid), I tend to go heavier on VG...such as 30/70 PG/VG. Next time I pull my stuff out, I might try ALL VG, just to see how everything behaves. :)

I have found I need to steep my all vg mixes longer. Its almost as if the flavoring doeant quite want to mix with vg. If tou don't use a speed steeping method I would recommend it with all vg mixes or you may be waiting a while and have to shake them before filling your setup.

Let me know though, I'm interested to see if you have the same experience with all vg as I did

I suspect you're right, randomhousegir. I have noticed that FW flavors taste significantly better after steeping two or three weeks.

As for VG needing a longer steeping period, I had not though of that before, but it seems logical that thicker VG would take a bit longer for flavors to balance out. Thanks for the insight! :)

Like I said, let me know how it works for you. I have been known to be "differently abled" (politically correct term haha) and I am interested to know if you have a similar experience
