    Since we don't know exactly which cheesecake you have, it might be hard to recommend a certain percentage to start. You may want to start low at cheesecake 6%, and 1.5% caramel. You can always add more if you feel you need more flavor but you can't take it back out later if it is too strong.

    Caramel is strong flavor. What do you advise, that would be 7.5% concentrate, sounds a bit low, no ?

    I use Capella cheesecake at 6-8% depending on what I'm mixing it with. Capella caramel is ridiculously strong. I use 1% or less. Anything more and all I get is caramel flavor. Everything else is gone.

    How I mix is very very simple...

    I have 3 different measuring cylinders , and a weighing scale. - no syringes or needles.

    One 10 ml cylinder for Nicotine.
    One 10ml cylinder for PG
    One 25ml cylinder for VG...

    So the recipe is Nicotine is 0.9ml
    VG 25.8 ml

    I drop 0.9ml of Nic into one cylinder
    I drop 25.8 ml of VG

    The flavours I use this method...



    So easy, no mess...
    **Updated**
    I think his flavours are TPA., May be slightly weaker -IMO

    Well that imply buying a scale. As I only start to understand the very basics of mixing, I'll just stick to the little starter kit I have.

    Just finish a 100ml of Caramel Cheese cake. Here is what I have done :

    Screen Shot 2016-07-13 at 2.48.10 PM.png

    First I put 6% for the cheesecake and had a try, it was very blend. So I added 1ml of Cheesecake and vaped a couple of drops, flavors seems pretty weak but better. Obviously weaker than my first ever batch because it seems I had put wayyyyy to much flavor lol

    So I am hoping for this 100ml batch to open up. 3mg nic is strong for me and I hope it will also "weaken" with the steeping process.

    Let's see in 10 days !!!

    But noe I have 30ml of Caramel Cheesecake and 30ml of Vanilla Custard that you proDIY guys would probably qualify as crap, but I am very proud of myself nonetheless ^^

    Couldn't have done it properly without your helps folks, many thanks.

    And now I need more concentrates.. :)

    @Tibo

    As long ,as it tastes good for you- thats all that matters.

    What tastes good for me, you may not like and vice-versa -

    At the end of the day - Taste is subjective....

    I have tried many different brands of concentrates....

    For me, personally I like Capella..... they suit my taste buds...

    My staple concentrates,(all Capella) are Vanilla Custard,French Vanilla, New York Cheesecake, and Bavarian Cream.

    Well done sir I salute you..

    Freshly mixed juice usually can be expected to taste weaker than the final steeped product. Keep the lid on and give it a good shaking every day. Your flavors should increase in intensity as they steep. The nicotine should not be weaker and at 3mg, it should hardly be noticeable. I think it may have been the overflavoring in your first mix that gave you the strong throat hit. Congrats on your first mix! Let us know when you start your commercial juice line. :)

    When you DIY you're mixing it for yourself. You get to make what you like and not give a rat's ass about what others think about it. I would recommend sticking to smaller batches until you get some more experience. If you mess the flavor up too bad and it can't be fixed you will probably have to trash it. Even as long as I have been mixing, I still have some experimental flavors go down the toilet. I would hate to have trash 100 ml of juice. Also, steeping is extremely important before you finalize a recipe. What tastes right today, tomorrow, or sometimes even a week from now may be different in two weeks or a month. Some flavors get stronger and more complex as they steep and some get weaker as they steep. Keep this in mind as you start your new journey. Best of luck and I'm always here if you need some advice.

    @Lotta @jorakae @weaver93 all these advises are priceless ! Thanks a lot, really help me breaking these little fears I had before starting.

    Thanks to you, I know understand that there is some error margin. I always though DIY was super precise chemistry and that a extra drop could ruin the entire juice. I feel much more comfortable to know that I have to experiment to find what I like.

    It is actually quite exciting to manage to make something in 5min (obviously my super simple juice) and vape it ! When I bought 700thb a juice only to realize I did not like it much, now who cares, if I don't like it much, I can just modify it or make a new one for 1/10 the price !
