MBV DIY juice.

Man this forum is so popular trying to look for a specific topic is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. So I apologize if this has been discussed before...

I recently got into mixing up my own juice and bought all my supplies from mount baker Vapor. I bought three flavors, Wild Cherry, Watermelon, and Black Cherry. So my question is are their juices concentrated or not? The reason I ask is that I've seen posts where people recommend mixing between 5%-7% of flavor to their juice. Well I mixed 15% of Black Cherry to my base, but I can't really taste any Black Cherry. With the Watermelon I mixed 20% to my base and only get just a hint of flavor.

So here's what I have:

36mg Nicotine in a 50/50 PG/VG base
100% PG unflavored
100% VG unflavored

I used the Get Juiced juice calculator software to mix the nic juice down to 18mg with the above percentages of flavor. I allowed the juices to steep for a couple of days before vaping.

So what am I doing wrong? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

I heard if you add too much flavoring it acts the same as adding to little flavoring.
I'm sure someone else will chime in too.
I mix mine at about 5%-10%.

Good luck,
Russ.

OK guess I'll try that. Was going by mbv's website where they recommend mixing between 15%-40% which led me to believe that it was not concentrated.

Also, different flavorings from different manufacturers will do different things at different percentages. There's almost no rhyme or reason to it, but that's part of what makes DIY so frustrating and wonderful at the same time.

Also, MBV's concentrates are relabeled Flavor West. Here's some good Flavor West info: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/408639-flavor-west-diy-flavor-review.html
