Concentrating light flavors. Is it possible?

[Fawzy]

Hi all, I have a question: I brought some flavors locally (water based) and it is little bit light for my taste. Can I do anything to concentrate it? Like a water bath? Evaporating? Adding anything? Any thoughts?

Are they pre-made juices? If so and they were just made, the flavor will probably get better after about a week. A hot water bath may accelerate the process a little.

No, I mean the flavors I use in my DIY. I have some fruit flavors to add to my DIY but it is a bit light.

I would just bump up the flavor one or two percent depending on the strength of the flavor.

One thing I've noticed about water and diy, it likes to mute the flavor. I read at one time or another that H2O helped bring out the flavor in blends, I respectively disagree

What it does do, however, it dilute very thick VG blends, allowing you to utilize the juice in certain applications that otherwise would prove difficult, if not impossible, such as in a carto or clearo tank.

I have never had a water-based flavoring, so I cannot say for sure that this is the issue at hand. What %'s are you working with? I've read some recipes that take their flavoring up towards 30-40%.
