Just looking for a simple answer really, do you guys think it's okay to add a little flavour concentrate to a pre existing ejuice that was store bought? I have a Heisenberry infusion juice that was store bought a while ago, and although I like the flavour, the menthol overpowers the fruit, I was wondering if adding a little bit of a fruit concentrate would do any harm?

Powerful flavors like mints, cinnamon and pineapple are difficult to overcome. Once they saturate a wick, you can pretty much forget about ever not tasting that note. If you add flavoring to try overcoming it, you risk ending up with a soapy and/or very harsh juice.

It would be better to either dilute the existing flavor with unflavored juice, and then add a small amount of the flavor concentrate you want more of, or just try someone else's interpretation of the flavor.

Like @Baditude says--once you giveth, you cannot taketh away.

    I tried commercial juice once since I started mixing, didn't make it thru a half tank.
    I tend to try and pick up different juices at vape shows. If i like them then i will try and get the concentrates so i can mix. Find it a good way to find some new flavours and then mix them

    Recipes or flavors? I haven't tried many one shots and couldn't narrow down flavors to just 3. Orange Blossom, Grape Dreams, and Pear Dragon or Pear Candy would make it into my top 3 right now (today anyway). I would probably need a top dozen to get me thru a month.

    Welcome and glad you joined.
    If you use nic, you may dilute it a little, but a drop or two should be ok. Menthol is almost impossible to thin for me.
