Hey guys!

I have tried searching myself but haven't come across the answer yet but here goes:

I've started mixing and I've mixed 2 flavours at 8% each so total 16%.
It tastes quite muted straight off but assume steeping for a few days will bring it through?

My question is how is best to arrange testing %'s and days left to steep? Do you for example make 5 of the same flavour at different levels and taste them all first and then let them all steep for a few days or do you have another plan?

I find it hard to explain haha but just trying to find the best way to test things here.

Appreciate the feedback ☺️

Make up 5 or 10 ml batches. I let mine sit 24 hours before the first test vape. Then test with a clean device and make a judgement call.

Steeping is usually needed, but don't try to nail down an exact time. A general rule is that fruits are shake-and-vape (or steep a few days at most) and others take at least 2 weeks. Tobaccos usually take at least a month steep time.

So don't worry about an exact time. But make small test batches in case it doesn't taste the way you though it would.

I usually recommend trying some clone recipes for the new beginner. You might check out these links for recipes :
Clone Recipes | Homemade E-juice Recipes
Reddit...read the sidebar on right for more specific vendor info.
Mega TFA / TPA Recipe Thread • /r/DIY_eJuice (TFA/TPA)
Solid list of DIY clones! • /r/DIY_eJuice
hic • /r/cerealkillaclone (FA)
this one is filtered by ecf, you'll have to type it in, one of my favorites for recipes
"e-liquid-recipes" <--google for the website
my second favorite, it's in english too
Le DIY pour les Nuls - Recettes DIY - Trucs et Astuces.

If you're using tfa you will need this percentage chart :
Flavor Percentage Recommendations

For FA flavors : HIC's "My notes on"
