Great thread guys. I just ordered 3 of the 5 packs of PR Kamel (15 5ml bottles). I love Smooth 8 and never want to be without it. This will make sure I've always got some stock.

Anyone have a percentage down for the Smooth 8 mix yet? I'd want to make 30ml at a time.

here is calculator: eJuice Recipe Calculator
But try to add less concentrate first, then try it, and if need more just add some more.

Thanks Zoos... yeah, that is a great calculator. So is ScubaDan's... but what I was really asking for in my post was if someone has already made this (Kamel) and what percentage of flavoring works for the Kamel/Smooth 8 so I don't have to diddle with it and reinvent the wheel *grin*.

Hey, just mixed up the Torque trial (Americano) and once again...spot on. I used 9 drops to 5ml and it was just a bit strong so for me, I'm thinking 8drops/5ml will be my sweet spot for both Freedom and Torque knock offs!!!

One thing to note, I did mix up 30ml of my Freedom mix and found it a bit weaker than expected using my "formula" above. Not sure if this is just a dilution factor or if it needs some sitting time for the flavor to mature.

Whatever the case, the concentrate bottles are small and easy to carry around in case the flavor needs a few more drops for the zing.

I've found that if the flavor concentrate is 15% overall in your total solution, the flavor is spot on. Meaning, if you are going to make a 10 mL bottle, use no more than 1.5 mL's of the flavor concentrate. A full bottle of the concentrate is good for making about 33 mL's of damn-near identical Halo liquid.

I have xtremevaping's nic base, and I was able to make 40mg strength Halo liquid. Gotta love it. Now if only TW could get a concentrate for Bella Vanilla (or whatever it's called these days) I'd be in heaven, and a DIY'er for life.

Just got confirmation on my flavs-- def looking forward to the coming experiments... So if this turns out, who knows of a direct source for the PR? I wouldn't mind being able to pass up another middle-man-- nothing against TW... just trying to get away from paying a $1 a ml for flavoring (aren't we all?).

Yes, we are :) keep us updated with your experiments

Got my concentrates in today. Mixed up a few batches and here are the results....

HOLY CRAP!! I can now have Freedom in a strictly VG juice. I mixed up a 5ml bottle of vg(80%)/distilled water(20%) and 60mg vg nic for the following batches. I mixed down to a level of 24mg. Which in my case works out to be about 61 drops of vg/dw mix..46 drops 60mg nic..and 8 drops of flavor.

1st batch Kamel-8 drops or 7% flavor per Dan's Calc. in 5ml This is just like Halo's Smooth 8 but just a little strong. Maybe drop this down to 6 or 7 drops.

2nd batch Tobacco Americano- 8 drops or 7% per Dan's Calc. in 5ml. This is like Halo's Torque 56 but not quite as strong as Halo's. Maybe 9 or 10 drops for this one.

3rd batch M/Borough- 8 drops or 7% per Dan's Calc. in 5ml. This is just like Halo's Freedom. No change in this one.

All of these flavors are very,very close to Halo flavors. Now I can have my favorite vape in a straight vg juice.

:cool: AGAIN I MIXED ALL OF THE ABOUT FLAVORS IN A STRICTLY VG BASE AND NIC MIX AND THEY ALL TASTE GREAT:cool:

I also got TW's state express/555 concentrate but I have not mixed it up just yet.

Hope this helps others on where to start with percentages of these concentrates.
ENJOY:vapor:

Great news. I found about the same drop ratio for 5ml myself but was very surprised when I used that same ratio to move to 30ml. Like I posted earlier, it seemed to affect the flavor in the wrong direction.

I personally think 15% will be too strong for my tastes but I have been slowly adding drops to my first 30ml batch to try and get it there.

I am so glad that you all pointed out these flavors. Once I read this thread I ordered the 5 x 5ml flavor pack of the PR range flavors from Totally Wicked and the M/Borough does taste just like Halo!! Awesome!!

Thanks
Jim

Postscript: I have only mixed one batch of 10 ml at 30mg/ml using it at 7%. Without it sitting overnight or anything it tastes spot on. I will let it sit for a bit to see if it changes.
