Just started DIY'ing, not happy with flavour strength....

[wildarmtins]

Made a couple of mixes, like a menthol tobacco (not great, still learning though), but I've noticed I'm not getting as much flavour or throat hit as I'd like. I'm alternating between 10-15mg nicotine and 10-15% flavour.
I've heard that you want to avoid putting in too much flavouring.... what do you guys recommend?

I recommend starting low and working up.

Also reading my blog, which is all DIY mixing info, is usually a good thing.

Throat hit is closely related to the mg of nic you are using in my experience. So with 10-15 - thats probably why your getting a low throat hit. With regards to flavoring - honestly it depends on the flavoring company and your preferences. I see some that are happy with 5% and others use over 30% - it depends on what works for you, for the overall recipe, and the flavoring itself (sorry not alot of help i know). I have one recipe that is great at 7%, and one that is 28% - so goes to show that alot goes in to the right percent in the end product.
