Flavours

Got sidetracked with their ready-made juices and still busy, LOL
VM's menthol is perfect for me at 5 %. And the Orange at 10%. Mixed Berry and Litchi at 15 %.
Has any of you tried mango and peach? I've mixed them at 15% steeped for a month, but not getting the flavour.
The caramel works great at about 5% when mixing with other flavours. Cream i use at 4-6%, and vanilla at 5-7%
Banana i have not figured out yet. Last one was 13% and had a chemical/bitter aftertaste.

Have been using it in my soft plastic Reo bottles without any problems, @Silver. But, generally they are not recommended for use in hard plastic clearomizer tanks. The same goes for cinnamon.
My gut feel is that for the mango, peach and banana you should scale down. Maybe talk to Oupa.
I do banana at 6-8 % caramel at under 5% and cream at 3% or less. Berry can go up to 15% and menthol at 5% or less. Haven't tried mango or peach yet. Caramel and cream are hectic.

Do you do them as just one flavour or do you mix two flavours together?
Mix and match sir. I mix small batches of single flavours like 5 ml to fine tune the ratio and get a taste of the flavour. Then I decide what will go with what and mix up a small batch at lower concentrate ratio's and then add concentrate to taste. I try to keep acurate notes so I can recreate flavours but evertime I drop nic level or use a different brand of vg I need to tweek it again.

Anybody tried Coconut, chocolate or strawberry yet?
pretty sure all those 3 is a chocolate i've eaten before 
as for the VM flavours, of those i've tried chocolate before and it is a very nice chocolate.

Best advice i can give you, Start a new excel doc, and document EVERYTHING.

Steep time
Temperature and environmental conditions of steeping area.
Anything you can think of. Record it!!
Yes, record as Crafty says. One of the reasons I gave up on DIY...too lazy. You could also ask @Oupa for his recommendation. Maybe he should give a recommended range next to his flavours for that matter.
@CraftyZA & @Matthee, thanks for the tips. I have actually started documenting my "experiments" thanks to OCD. I have mixed up a batch of 8 different single flavours (no nic), just so that I can get a feel of what they taste like, but im afraid to taste them. I think I will let them steep for about 3 days before I try them (and then some more) - that's usually how long VM juice delivery takes from Oupa's mixing table to my doorstep. I agree Matthee, some pointers from @Oupa would be greatly appreciated.
Cooking some juice man!
