it should answer a lot of your questions
regards
Have you mixed at all before? What do you have if anything? What kind of juices do you like?
No not at all I like fruit like mango and blackcurrant and desert s like chees cake, cereal..
I have concentrates and and the 70vg 30pg mix
If you give a list of the concentrates you have I'm sure a few people would be willing to make a few suggestions. Very difficult with the limited information given so far.
What nicotine have you got?
Il sent a pic now
hi, so are you asking what recipe you can make with the concentrates you have ?
because you seem to have everything, you have a scale ?
because you seem to have everything, you have a scale ?
i was just about to ask the same thing! scales are the best thing for mixing!
No scale at the moment and yes want to mix sam flavours the place wher i got the concentrates told me a syringe works also
a syringe does work but if you going to mix in the long term, get a scale! no mess and no clean up and SO much faster.
Thanks alot
Mixing 2 difrent flavours how does that work
Mayby if someone can help me over whatsapp if its oky
What confuses me is the percentage of each and in how match pg vg mix must it go in
Sorry for asking alot dont want to mes up
Until you get a scale I would suggest getting some Plastic pipettes similar to these. They aren't to expensive and will avoid contamination of one concentrate to another. Only use one for each concentrate and after mixing you can rinse them and leave to dry for next time. Where you bought your concentrates should stock them.

Plastic pipettes
Disposable but can be reused when cleaned with acetone. 1ml, 2ml and 5ml sizes.

ok so different concentrates have different percentages, if I google for instance your Blueberry Milkshake VT the suggested percentage is between 3 and 5%
but these of course are not set in stone, depends what you going for
a little bit of advice, start mixing only very small amounts like 20ml or 30ml, or even less, the last thing you want is machining mixed up 100ml or 200ml and you don't enjoy it, I did that, like a pro ...lol
Thanks wil gif the small amount a trai
...come to the vape meet on Saturday and we'll show you exactly what to do

What time and where

So much to respond on, but first lemme quote a few ppl here...
Then a few more tips:
1 - Plan your juice. What do you want to get out of it? You mentioned Mango and Blackcurrant. So let's think of a combo flavour, i.e. Mango Blackcurrant. What do you want to be more prominent, the Mango or the Blackcurrant? Must it contain ice or not? Must either of the flavours be candy-like or such? Once you determine what you want from the juice, then you research on a site like e-liquid-recipes at all the available flavours - note I mention available flavours as there are thousands of Mango flavours, etc. on there, so compare what's available at a place like Blckvapour to what's on the site - and then you see what people said about the various flavours to determine whether this would be the flavour profile that works for you or not.
2 - Keep it simple. Well, initially. As a new mixer, do not try and make something like a Blueberry Cream Cake with Vanilla Icing and Cherries. You're going to fail and it's not your fault in that you do not yet know what ingredients at what percentages may be required. Desserts especially can be complicated, so go slow and learn first. Again, Mango Blackcurrant, look at something like the following:
6% CBE Double Mango
3% FA Blackcurrant
1% CAP Super Sweet
1% WS-23 20%
Try it, adjust it until you like it.
3 - Read what mixers wrote about lessons they learnt, watch Youtube videos on DIYorDIE channel, etc.
4 - Don't give up hope. We've all had mixes which makes us question life, the universe and everything. But then one day you develop a juice that makes you think you found the answer to this question (which is apparently 42). Like with all things, success comes from keeping on trying to succeed.
5 - On this forum there are a number of times that many other people and myself have responded to people who have had the exact same questions as you do now. Look this up, learn from it.
6 - Most important. Enjoy it. If this is a 'urgh, I have to mix tonight' task, then your juices will reflect this. See it as an experiment. You're a scientist now and you're developing a new life changing experiment.
Syringes are a cheap, quick alternative to a new mixer. You can buy them cheaply from places like Blckvapour or even your local Clicks or Dischem. Once you feel you want to venture more into mixing, then you buy a scale. On that level, I can recommend these with great emphasis - based on almost 8yrs of mixing and trying almost every scale there is. They just keep working and are very accurate: https://www.takealot.com/500g-0-01g-digital-pocket-scale/PLID54496792
An online recipe calculator like the one you can use on the site e-liquid-recipe (https://e-liquid-recipes.com/create) is very useful. It gives you all the necessary information and shows you exactly how to mix in which quantities. Once you get more experienced and you want a desktop calculator, go for something like this: http://diyjuicecalculator.com/
This is VERY important advise. Dude, you do not know how many juices I have mixed, very confidently so, in like 50ml or 100ml just to find it too ghastly to go past the second puff and then all the ingredients used are wasted! 10ml samplers are the way to go. More than enough to get a decent idea of the profile and what to change if needs be. You can buy 10ml bottles again from places like Blckvapour, Flavourworld, TheFlavourMill, etc. etc.
