Yeah someone I know that makes their own juice recommended 8% to start but for the sake of keeping things as simple as possible I went with 10%Getting a great flavour on your first try is awesome! This is my 3rd time around vaping and each time I made my own juice.
I am still tweaking but know my favourites are the fruit flavours. I like the nuts, chocolate, and vanilla as well. For my taste, I definitely like a higher flavour content than the 5% that is recommended by a lot of veteran mixers to start testing with. 5% just does not do it for me, no matter what flavour I am mixing with; and I have tried a lot.
