Hey guys, I’m new to making my own eJuices. I’m trying to figure out what’s the best concentrate percentages, I read on google that 15% is good but I feel like I’m over flavouring. If you have any good tips please let me know

Go to ATF, go to flavors, punch in your flavor, click flavor. You will see average percentage. That’s a good start but not set in stone

Google is partially correct. Some recipes does come out at 15% yes.

HOWEVER! Different recipes has different percentages, therefor you cannot count all recipes has to be 15%. Some are below, some are above. I have seen many great recipes that runs at around 4%.

So please do not use whatever advice you have found on google about percentages.

Umm. You should really start with making other people's recipes not freestyle creating your own

The % are all part of the recipe

Could be 2%, could be 20. Depends on the flavors used, the flavor profile you're going for, and the device/power/hit type you're going for.

highly depends on the flavors you use.

It also depends what concentrates you're using. An example. Many TFA and Capella concentrates. Yeah 15% total in a recipe is normal. But if you are using say real flavours and wonder flavours who are super concentrated. Than a recipe made up of those concentrates, only 5% can be too much.

As a starting point try to use the average percentages other people use for certain flavorings on alltheflavors.com

It's all highly dependant on the individual flavor in question and to a lesser degree if you're doing the recipe for DL or MTL vaping.

It really depends on a lot of things, the flavoring, what you mix it with, manufacturers, your own taste and I would even go as far as to say it depends on where you're from. Seriously I've seen US stores/manufacturers and DIY vets recommend a minimum of 15% for the exact same flavorings that EU stores/manufacturers and DIY vets recommend at a maximum of 5-6%. Best to start with single flavor mixes at a recommended % and go up or down depending on your preference, try some simple recipes found online and try to adjust them to your liking.

Certain flavor can be 0.25% and go up to 8% or more. I tried making my own at different percentages and it wasn't bad but everything tasted a bit bland or bitter like dark chocolate. I took some recipes from a website that showcased a few good ones and just copied those. I tried to make my own and now I just copied thai coconut icecream, goofy juice and boss reserve clone for now to compare.
