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?

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.

I think your blog is wonderful!! I wish i would have found it (and this forum) when I began DIY!!! I think thats so great you took the time to write all that out to help others - so awesome of you!!! Just wanted to say thanks!

I recommend starting low and working up.

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