:cry: It's getting all a bit complicated for me right now.
Got to learn to walk before i run:D

But i saved the link as well:)
I felt the same the first time I saw a recipe ...still not sure about ones with more than a few flavours in them either. Not one for messing about with such things.
I don't mind making the MCV, but it's not too many different parts, can use it as each one measured in Mls rather than percentages, and I use it every day, so it's worth it. 36% added to plain VG is easy enough when making 100ml bottles ;)

Probably best to try the LT concentrate first - could be good! :)

I've read on other forums to mix by weight,think that would be even more difficult.

Speaking of charts, I lost all of mine when my old laptop gave up the ghost and I`m due for mixing up another batch of base liquid, so would I be right in thinking that if I mixed 83ml of 72mg nic liquid into 917ml of pg/vg I would end up with 1 litre of 6% base ? TIA
That's dead right, there are many calculators out there that can help, I use a desktop program called "ejuice Me Up"

Thanks Bob, my attempt was due to memory not mathematical genius :) I`ll have a a look at the eJuice calc, the ones I`ve found wont let me in because I want to use a 50/50 base and no flavour concentrate

Yes, me too, and that's what put me off DIY at first. It was only when I got the recipe for MCV that I realised the 35% of finished concentrate needed to make it was pretty close to adding up the percentages of each flavour, and calling them 'mls', and that I wanted to make it in 100ml lots.
I asked Karl if it was OK to call the %'s mls and then just add 35mls of resulting concentrate to 65mls of VG nicotine base, and he said yes because that's how he makes it!
Last time I mixed it I made enough for 3 100ml bottles. Think I'll make a bigger batch of it next time.

I haven't tried to translate this type of method into making smaller sample size bottles yet ...but no doubt it's just a case of working out what 35% of any given finished quantity represents by using the 'Todd' calculator.

I got mail:
The three newest Bunkr ones.

I'm trying the Fruit Crème, and am not too sure about it ...supposed to be Mandarin, Raspberry & hint of Grapefruit together with cream:
' flaky pastry base with lashings of fresh cream topped off with a fruity fusion of mandarin, raspberry and just a hint of grapefruit reminiscent of a fresh cream fruit horn.'

Can't say I agree with that description. My first impression was one of a slightly 'scenty' fruit, with a hint of the citrus and cream on the exhale. Can't say any crème horn I ever ate tasted quite like this.
Perhaps it needs higher wattage than I'm using for this (7 watts). I may try adding a few drops of some raspberry concentrate to see if it perks it up.

I'll try the Rhubarb Tarte tomorrow!

Exactly 35% of 30ml or (30*(35/100)) = 30*35 = 1050 / 100 = 10.5ml

Base and concentrates arrived today.
Just waiting on some 100ml bottles i ordered yesterday to arrive.

Hope you enjoy your mixing George, beside the obvious benefits of cost and being able to customise your juice, I like to mix up a batch of nic free juice in the same flavours, it`s a good go to when my usual vape starts to taste a bit funky.

If I were to pass on one tip it would be to get hold of a large syringe and a short length of 4mm aquarium air line in place of a hollow needle, it makes life much easier

I got a 50ml syringe delivered with the base.
So i'll pick up a length of pipe,probably find it locally at a pet shop.

Tried the Bunkr Rhubarb Tarte ....better than their Fruit Crème (for me) but suffice to say, I won't be buying it again!
