online recipes from other people is very touch and go.. I simply use them for inspiration and ideas.

You should do single flavours first at around 10%, give them about a week to "steep" then try them, this will give you a better idea about the flavours. So if you need more or less and so on.

Then, with a RDA, you can test these out, then do a few drops of various flavours and see what does work together for you.

Note that some flavours and blends may take a few weeks, some even a month or more. This depends on your mixing technique.

And some flavours can cancel each other out, don't work as intended, and from one brand or even versions of flavouring, the difference can be fairly large.

Note that your source of nicotine can be another thing.. bad nicotine can affect the flavour and "hit" quite a lot.

£40 per week? Wow... that's grim.

Most % averages used on the e-liquid recipes site are just guides really and should not be taken at face value.

Some concentrates (posh ones, pre-made like Chef's and/or DIY or DIE from Chef's) are quite accurate.

What have you bought? The make and the shop, ideally.

I know of some vendors that water down certain concentrates. I've suspected this in the past to be honest.

Just a word of caution too. Remember when using concentrated nicotine to make sure you make accurate measurements and be careful when handling it. Highly concentrated nicotine can be harmful if not used correctly.

Good luck with your DIY. :thumb:

Edit:
Sorry didn't notice what you had was already premixed to 6mg. Is still good advice though if you ever decide to buy stronger say 100mg.

yes i use a 30ml bottle in 3 days maximum :/ but works out a little bit cheaper than smoking and hopefully is a little healthier lol
