Premixing a concentrate logic
submitted over 6 years ago by EveryOpenEyes

Hello all,

Apologies if some of you might think my question is silly but here is the think. I would like to « premix » some flavors in order to make a concentrate. Let say I have a recipe such as:

  • 10% of flavor A
  • 5% of flavor B
  • 3% of flavor C

So in a classic way of doing stuff I would use 18% of flavor in total (1.8 ml for 10 ml).

Now if I want to get the same final mix is it ok for instance to create 18 ml of premixed concentrate with:

  • 10 ml of flavor A
  • 5 ml of flavor B
  • 3 ml of flavor C

And then using this premix and just take 1.8 ml of it for doing 10 ml?

Thank you and sorry if my english is bad!

If you go to eliquid recipes there is a choice in the drop down menu for making a concentrate for a particular recipe....easy :)

Sorry I'm late to the party, maybe I'm blind but I don't see the drop down menu for the concentrate you speak about

You need to be logged in and have a recipe open. Sorry for the delay in my response.

You've got it right! Just be sure to really shake the premix, I give mine a good few minutes of vigorous shaking and then again whenever using it

yes, thats exactly right. you can just scale up or down the flavours as you see fit. though there are some exceptions due to muting Ethyl Maltol for example if in a large quantity can detroy a flavour comp in about a week

Your recipe is 18% flavoring. Your ingredients are:

A) 10/18= ~55.5% B) 5/18= ~28% C) 3/18= 16.5%

Multiply those percentages by whatever volume of premix you're making. Then when you're adding it to a bottle to mix simply multiply 18% by the bottle size and that's how much of your flavor base you add.
