Real Flavor Premix usage % question

submitted almost 9 years ago by getbangedchatshit

So I bought a bunch of Real Flavor premixes that are listed on Gremlin Diy but I can't seem to find any info on what % I should use to make the juice.

Does anyone have this info? Or should I start with the usual 8-10% mix?

Scroll down to the Real Flavors Section

That should give you an idea at what % to use, even if your flavors aren't on the list.

I think I only did 1 of those reviews, but I did put quite a few of them into the wiki.

Be sure to give them a long steep (3-4 weeks) before passing final judgement. I used 10-12% for all the ones I tested. And for me personally, Mixed Berries was the only one out of the batch of 6 that I would reorder. The rest were just, meh....

I got premixes from them so I am expecting a lot from them. I just realized they are 100% VG. I think that increases the steeping time significantly.

All of the flavors I've got from them were perfect around 7 to 8 percent. Their site also lists that as the recommended percentage too I think.

Cookies and Cream, Boston Cream Pie, green energy, cake batter. Those are all good flavors I've had from them. Cookies and Cream is amazing.

I couldn't find anything on the site, but yeah, I was thinking of starting around 8%.

I guess it's only on some of the flavors, probably just the older ones like this. Down below it says "Rate of Use" and a few other things.

I sent them an email, so if they reply, I will post it here.

Real Flavors need higher percentages than most it seems. They are VG based and it's recommended to at least give them a hot water bath to incorporate the flavor and base, if not heat steeping. Typically I've seen them 8-10% but sometimes higher. It depends on the flavor. (keep in mind, these also seem to need to steep for longer than normal... some say 3+ weeks)

I start every Real Flavor at 6% when testing. I usually end up around 10% before it feels satisfactory.

When I first purchased I did all my single flavor testings at 10% with RF, knowing they'd need to be high being VG flavors. I cant say I was happy with them at 10% Even though some of them were quite accurate to their profile, they came off rather dull to me and had a funk to them I cant put my finger on. Only got around to retesting one of them (butterscotch pudding) at a higher percentage, 15%, but it def brought it to a more vapable level for me being a standalone. Not that I bought them to vape them standalone, but I didnt get enough flavor at 10% to get a feel for what they really offer. Not super fond of VG flavors with all that being said. I'm not patient enough to wait a month+ for flavor testing even though I did with all of them. Just feels unproductive IMO

I emailed them and they said that they have no clue how much to use as they do not make ejuice. I wish I had noticed that they were VG base when I bought them. Silly of me to assume they'd be PG based.
