LOL!!!
It's fine man. You just proved your are human and not a genie!!!
I typed them on the fly so I will have to redo them but that gives me an opportunity to flesh them out better. I like @Derick 's idea although it would make it a bit more onerous but I can see his reasoning behind it. Will give a shot tomorrow.......busy mixing now

Thanks, much appreciated. Sorry for the trouble.

If you are looking for the taste of good old Musk Beechies then add 2 drops of VM Musk concentrate to Standard VM Litchi!
It's amazing... a few puffs and I'm back in the Seventies!

Another NEED to have VM concentrate is most certainly coconut! 2-3 drops added to VM Menthol Ice puts you on the islands! Tropical ones! You can also add it to VM Pineapple as well!
Seeing how my concentrate range continues to expand (currently 17 with 6 more on the way) I was thinking it might be cool to have a seperate section for flavour concentrates.
Anyhow here is a summary of what I have tried:
VM concentrates:
1)Berry - Really good albeit a bit sweet. 15% straight up or 5-10% in combos. (Staple flavour)
2) Blueberry - Really good natural tasting. Excellent mixed with berries to give that slightly sour note. Rather potent so I use it 10% straight up or 5% in combos. (Staple flavour)
3) Orange - The best of the best. Amazing taste. Tastes like in season fresh oranges with a little tang. I use it 15% straight up and 5-10% when doing combos depending on what flavour I want to have dominant. (Staple flavour)
4) Mango - Really good too. Taste like ripe magoes. Authentic and prominent taste. I use in the same ratios as the orange (see above) (Staple flavour)
5) Peach - Really good too. Authentic and prominent taste.I use in the same ratios as the orange (see above) (Staple flavour)
6) Cotton Candy - super potent, Even one drop can overpower a 10ml batch. I mix at 15% and add a few drops of the ready to vape resulting mix per 20ml batch I want to sweeten. Please do not use this in concentrated form.(Rarely used)
7) Pineapple - excellent with sweet tones. Not as prominent as peach, mango and orange. Rather sweet in high concentrations (>12.5%). I have only been using this as part of combo mixes (5-10%)and this is where it shines. (Staple flavour)
8) Coconut - Excellent in complex juices. Not suitable on it's own. Between 5-10% in combos. (Staple flavour)
9) Cream - very prominent. Sourish like sour cream. Used in low percentages as part of complex juices <5% (Staple flavour)
10) Passionfruit - Another absolute gem. Lends itself well to many combos. Also 5-10% combos(Staple flavour)
11) Vanilla - Good smooth but not sweet. Another combo must. 15-20% straight up and 5-10% in combos(Staple flavour)
12) Caramel - Excellent and natural tasting, Another combo must and same mix ratios as Vanilla. (Staple flavour)
13) Chocolate - Super potent. Not suitable on it's own. Treat the same as cream - part of complex mixes and in low concentration <5%. This is one of the few flavours that are not as natural tasting. Kinda smells like cheap Beacon chocolate which I am not a fan of. ( Occassional use)
14)Coffee - Truly excellent and authentic dark bitter coffee. If you like expresso you will love this. 10-15% straight up and the same in combos unless you do not want coffee to be the dominant flavour.
Summary - Vapour Mountain concentrates are truly high quality and from my limited experience superior to many international brands. That must be the reason for the limited range. Benji is super fussy and for good reason. I would even go as far as to say that these concentrates are a must have for anyone venturing into the world of mixing for the first time as they are so easy to master in single mixes.
All my mixes are either 50/50 or 60% VG/40% PG
I have found that all the mixes do not require steeping for more than a day except for ones that contain cream which tastes good after 3 days steeping (with cap on). The fruit flavours require no steeping and can be vaped immediately.

Thanks for that! That really helps!
A Testimonial to Exceptional Service
I've mentioned this before and now I will mention it again... Vapour Mountain is one vendor that really cares about their customers! I have dealt with countless vendors since I started vaping, and there have been mishaps and mix ups before. I would inform them about it and that would normally have been followed up with serious "cross examining" and arguments from their side. Today I received a package from Vapour Mountain that had been slightly mixed up in terms of flavour concentrates. I contacted Oupa about it and without further ado or any questioning, he set out to packaging and sending off the correct flavours, free of charge. He also said that I need not return any of the incorrect flavours that had been placed in the box("That is for you to enjoy"). That to me is SERVICE EXCELLENCE!!! So.... two thumbs and big toes up to Vapour Mountain on that.

Emotional talks aside
, here's a little something that a few friends and I came up with today at campus, for those of you who enjoy experimenting, with something a little more complex. Initially we just intended on mixing up a batch of "sweet berry mix". We mixed up 15% VM berry concentrate with 1% cotton candy. Another friend who'd not seen us mixing in the cotton candy, thought that he had it in his hand. What he had was actually liquorice. He added 1-2% liquorice. We noticed the mock-up eventually, but still shook it up anyway, thinking that it'd be too little to actually notice in there. We tried it a few hours later, and to our surprise, it was noticeable.... And downright delicious!! Just an example of how a blunder turned out to be something spectacular(Ratio was 50pg-50vg btw). We proceeded to mixing up a few more batches, as we all agreed that it was better than anything that we'd previously tried. Lesson learnt here is that experimentation is key with these concentrates. Play around with various flavours.... You never know what you'll come up with

Thanx Dev
Very well said!! For this, I'll stick to Oupa as a customer. I honestly would not think twice about recommending VM to others. Those that I have referred to him are all also beyond happy with his products and service
Ah, good to see you on the forums for a change. And with a great story to tell. Happy vaping.A Testimonial to Exceptional Service
