Knowing @Richio , if you order it now you'll definitely get it before the weekend (unless the couriers themselves screw up somehow). There's a reason it's my primary DIY vendor.Sounds great. I've added a packet of that to my order.
I hope I get it in time for the weekend!
Cool. Sounds like a good supplier!
Awesome. More recipes for me to research for my next round.You can mix directly into the droppers. It is a leeetle bit trickier than mixing into glass bottles because the necks of droppers are very narrow. So you have to aim your VG and PG nozzles very carefully. It's not a biggie, I do it all the time but, in an ideal world, I'd rather mix into a wide-necked glass bottle than a narrow-necked dropper bottle.
I included the amber bottles because you might also want to mix up bigger quantities. The dropper bottles only hold 50ml, the amber bottles 100ml. So if you want to mix 100ml of a juice, you can do it in one amber bottle and then fill two 50ml dropper bottles from it. Also, some people prefer using glass, others plastic. So you could tailor it either way, switching the amber glass for more droppers or switching the plastic droppers for glass bottles with pipettes. I haven't noticed any difference between the two so I'm happy using either.
In terms of simple recipes, @aktorsyl has given you some good ones. Others I could recommend include the "3" series by MrColdOne:
3 Banana Nuts
3 Peanuts PB Cheesecake
3 Doughnuts
Now you start seeing common concentrates coming into play, which is where you maximise your bang for buck in concentrates. For example, the 3 Banana Nuts has Cap Vanilla Custard in it. As I explained in the previous post, you would have about half a bottle of Cap VC left over from ID10-T's Simple Sugar Cookie recipe. So there you already have one ingredient needed in 3 Banana Nuts without needing to buy another concentrate. The more recipes you can find with common ingredients, the more efficiently you use your (initially) small stock of concentrates.
Another really easy one is Atmose Chifles, just two ingredients.
Here's another simple one, CloudState's Banana Puddin'.
Catalan Dream is both very simple and very economical, only 4% total flavouring!
Harvest Cheesecake by Kopel is just Cap NY Cheesecake 4% and Cap Harvest Berry 3.5%
If you like fruit mixes, have a look at the World Mixing Competition Round 1 recipes. All of those are fruit mixes with just 3 ingredients.
That should give you something to start with.
The DIY community here is a very cool group, I've found the information-sharing here extremely valuable over time.Cool. Sounds like a good supplier!

I've placed the order (including glass bottles) with the recipes you guys suggested. That should definitely be good to get me started.
I appreciate you guys taking time to answer all my silly questions and provide me with such detailed explanations and links to help me on this journey.
I promise I will try to contribute in due time and not just leech
Man I'm looking forward to it! This is such an interesting hobby. And the people on here are fantastic.
Told youDamn these guys were super quick!
The guys here got me from planning to order in under a day.I'm watching this thread closely, because I will take the leap in September. But I have one chance only to buy right, because the next time will only be in December when I pop over to SA

I'm sure they could assist you in getting together what you need
Agreed. I at least wanted some reference recipes that work to get me started. I'll worry about mucking up my own recipes when I'm feeling more comfortable with all this wizardryI'm sure they will - I have a good idea already on the equipment needed. Now it is just to find the recipes that I think I will like and then add the concentrates. Experimenting with own recipes is a venture for another day and another year.

It's a bit like magic, but yes chances are pretty good that you will. Bear in mind that it's not a fresh/ripe strawberry but rather tastes like... well like strawberry shisha. It's like the strawberry flavour you find in YogiSip. In fact, that's probably the best way to describe it. That's also why it shines in pink milk recipes.
Just received this months concentrates but will for sure include in next months. Is it a brand specific concentrate, CAP, TFA,...?
Solid plan!
Expensive but worth it I hope. Thanks for this revelation, I really appreciate it.
