DV Concentrates Question - Please Help...

[attrition4u]

Understanding fully that taste is a subjective thing, what is a good starting ratio when mixing DV concentrates from Totally Wicked. I got four flavors in and, thus far, I am having terrible luck finding information about mixing (and I have searched quite a bit).

I read 15% somewhere but I tried mixing the cognac at 15% and I tasted absolutely nothing when I vaped it. I then read somewhere something about 30% so I mixed up some bacon at 30% and it was very overwhelming taste. I just don't know where to start.

TIA

i use them i use 3 to 4 drops too 1ml then work up to the strength you like but find 4 ok for me and there is 30 drops too 1ml hope that helps

It depends on the flavour in question, there is no one number that fits all. And of course it's a matter of taste, too.
IIRC, there is a recommendation on the bottle, too. You may need a micoscope to read it, though.

Smokey bacon is a strong flavor. I use 2 drops per 5ml tobacco base and if I add much more it takes over and I tire of it fast. Like several of the DV's I use them more for secondary flavoring instead of primary so I go light.
Hey, that cognac sounds interesting must try that!

Well, see, there in lies part of the problem. The juice leaked. The labels were all sticky and wet. So, I wiped them off with a paper towel and, VOILA, no label. It literally took the labels right off. Very frustrating. Because, now, I don't know which bottle is which. I mean, I know what I ordered; but, I have four bottles, no labels...

I can see based on what you just said that I put way way way too much juice in. That bacon has owned my atomizer. I think I'm going to have to pitch the damn thing because that sickening bacon flavor won't go away. To say it was strong would be the understatement of the year. I felt like I was going to be sick.

Augh...

Oops, yes, that happens, and I hate that. PG is a great solvent; unfortunately, for labels as well

So far I have gotten every taste out with Isoprop alcohol and good, long hot water baths afterwards.

I made a "special mix-heavy pga-190 proof/TA" just for nutralizing atty/cleanouts after I tried 1 or 2 drops of smokey bacon straight on atty one day...............ooooh wont do that again!
