Please Help!

Yes I just went to that website I like it alot, I'm still confused though about my flavors, if they are PG or VG

Most flavors are in PG because it's a better solvent than VG. A few vendors sell VG based flavorings but they generally say that. Some use alcohol for flavorings that don't dissolve well in PG, they generally say that as well. Then you can leave the bottle open for a while after you mix and the alcohol will evaporate off.

Best bet is to assume they are PG. In any case if they are VG based you are talking about a very small amount of VG so it wouldn't change the ratio much.

edit - boy you have to be quick around here

I caught her post and answered it right away because it alerted me that she'd responded to my post.

The first 10ml I made I put .5 in of the flavoring but someone said the central vapors flavors are weak so to add a little extra. So when I put it in the calculator I would just put 1% flavoring

.5ml in to 10ml is 5% not 1%. It would probably be easier to use 100ml bottles, not only math-wise, but it would give you a little bit of wiggle room. Just start out low.

but someone said the central vapors flavors are weak so to add a little extra.

And someone may have said it was weak, but what brand & flavor? and what brand & flavor are they comparing it to? It's all a matter of perspective. I think when my wife makes chicken wings that they are weak, she thinks they are too strong.

That someone was me. It states the suggested % (that I quoted and posted) and I also read some comments/reviews on the website. They only sell their own brand of flavors. Might want to actually check out the website before commenting.
BTW, the reason I found Central Vapors was someone said they had a great mango flavor. I have not tried them yet.

I guess the OP posted two threads on the same topic... getting confusing cause I guess I said that on the other thread.

Don't get your panties all twisted up... lol That website did not say what brands & flavors you were comparing it to... And it was nothing against you personally, my main point was it's a matter of perspective/taste. The bottom line is that she probably should not be blindly mixing it stronger without first testing it out herself.

This is off their website for the DIY flavors:
Though we won't give out exact recipes below is our recommended usage rates.

Menthol's / Mints 0%-10%
Fruits 11%-20%
Desserts/Cream - 21%- 25%

I already posted this... and one of the comments on that site complained about how weak the flavors are. Have you ever heard of ANY flavor suggesting to use 25 % ? They actually suggest using these as a "boost" to pre-made juices. I guess you could just order the little 5 pack sampler and find out yourself.
(I've had a bad cold for 2 weeks... can't even taste or smell my own DIY... makes me a bit grouchy)

I don't know if this will help or not. I buy all my flavoring from Flavor West. I use VG base 100mg nic. I mix my juices at 15% flavor 85% VG. I have a couple that are little stronger and some that are a little weaker but that is for my taste. I'm more of a cloud chaser but I like flavor. I use mech mods and RDAs exclusively. The beauty of DIY is being able to adjust the mix to set you personal taste. Good luck and enjoy.

Here are a couple of the reviews:

"The kit arrived quickly but cant get any flavor out of ejuice used same mix I have used with other brands and this one is horrible steeped it ever since I got it and still nothing worst kit I have ever purchased"

"I have used your liquid concentrate and didn’t like it very much usually on other brands I’m running 10% with good flavor but with your brand I had to use 15 or more % to even taste the flavors."

If you have to use more, that doesn't mean it's not good (might be worth it if they have good flavors) but it will affect the VG/PG ratio more so keep that in mind (they are all in PG)
Like I said, I was told they have a very good mango (pre-made) so I might even still try the 5 pack sampler.

Yes I went back to site and looked, and like you said they are PG. Thanks
