But I will say, I taste a lot more flavor overall. Might be in my head and I'm telling myself that, either way...it's a lot better than I was expecting. 
Ok so here is my question...which flavors for sure need to be steeped? I am thinking about getting a vanilla and a cream flavor next and trying a "strawberry vanilla cream" type concoction. Not sure if that would be one needing to steep a bit. My mom is already hitting me up to make her stuff. Lol. She likes strawberry menthol too so once I get this one down the way I like it I will make her some, but she also wants a plain menthol which I can handle, but would I do 10% flavor with just menthol? These flavors I bought are very concentrated. I only did 10% and I can taste way more flavor than the stuff I've bought pre-made. So I don't want to go overboard on a plain menthol for her, although it may clear out her sinuses good. Lol.
I tried a melon blend...watermelon, cantaloupe, kiwi, and honeydew melon with just a hint of cream (I'm trying to get close to my Dark Horse Sweet Sookie--even though I know it will be impossible to duplicate lol)....little lite on flavor fresh out of the making, but I'm hopeful it will be better with age...also tried a boysenberry/blackberry blend...It's missing something, but I'll figure it out cause it was good!
I've read all creams/caramel/bakery type stuffs definitely need to steep for full flavor. Fruits not so much, and I have no clue about menthol lol!
Most of my mixes are vanillas and/or creams. The mix is often vapable right away, but ALWAYS gets much better with age. I try to let my vanillas steep at least 2 weeks. A month is even better.
Wow, you went for more complex stuff than me. Honestly I think the strawberry menthol I made was quite good and maybe would only add one more drop of menthol for a little more zip, but otherwise I really like it. Have been puffing away all morning. Lol. Glad you liked yours, and you'll get it the way you like it in no time
I bet when I do the next flavor I will have to mess with it quite a bit since I will try three flavors.
Great thanks! I totally think I will be giving it a try soon. This is definitely fun! Lol
You might try a simple recipe like Mustard Milk (named after the creator FizzMustard). I found it on another recipe site : Strawberry 6%, Vanilla Bean Ice Creme 8%. For me it's like strawberry ice creme.

I'm determined not to have to pay $20 for a bottle of my good stuff anymore lol...the blackberry/boysenberry is already getting a little better...that's what I'm vaping now
Sounds yummy. I just bought some cream flavor and a lemon flavor. I'm going to try a simple strawberry and cream to see how I like that, and it may sound weird but I like lemon and cream together so I will play around with the lemon with the strawberry and cream. I'm enjoying my strawberry menthol so this experiment has been fun! I definitely love this ability to adjust the flavor and get it how I like it. So glad I decided to try this. So much cheaper too.
im with you..I'm determined not to have to pay $20 for a bottle of my good stuff anymore lol...the blackberry/boysenberry is already getting a little better...that's what I'm vaping now
my first forray into diy.. i made 330 mls for the same price i would buy 30 mls for. and it was as good if not better. that to me made me sold for sure..
Custards, bakery, tobacco, vanilla and creams do well with some time to age. Recipes with larger ingredient lists also settle down after 1-5 days. I try most everything fresh just to see how it is.
Menthol and straight fruit mixes I enjoy fresh and find that the lose steam over time. But that is just me!

What % did you use the the strawberry menthol? I have a friend that would love that blend.
Got it! I am totally enjoying my homemade strawberry menthol and glad I didn't have to steep it. It is quite good. When I try the cream mixture I will give it a taste and then let it steep a little and taste again. I was nervous to try this, but now I'm doubting I go back to buying pre-made.
I made a 40/60 3mg nic blend in a 10mL bottle. The flavors I bought said to do 10% flavoring and it was right cause they are potent. So the 1 mL of flavoring I did a 4 parts ripe strawberry and 1 part menthol. Or 0.8 mL ripe strawberry and 0.2 mL menthol.
if you like menthol, Koolada should be on your shopping list. it adds the cool like menthol but no flavor is imparted, think strawberry milkshake
Sounds like I have lots of possibilities to play with lol. If I'm not careful I'm going to be needing a bigger lock box soon.

What you really need to buy next is a scale
Saving money and having fun. That's a win if there ever was one! Enjoy!
