Percentages

Well hi there.
When looking at recipes online, the flavour percentages all seem to add up to ~20%, are these percentages to make a doubler or to make the entire juice?
e.g., 50ml of doubler consisting of 20% flavour and 30% buffer or should I be looking at my flavour percentage being 20% of the completed juice i.e. 20% flavour + buffer + nic?

Thanks in advance.

 

It all depends on the flavouring. Probably ranges from 5-20% flavouring, rest PG/VG. So take 20% flavouring of 50ml double (50/50 based) = 20ml flavouring, 30ml 50/50 PG/VG depending on the flavouring base as well.

 

So 20% flavour is to make doublers, the finished juice will be ~10%?

 

It depends on the brand of concentrate mate. The one I use is about 5% but the same brand in a different flavour is about 2.2/3%. On the other hand if Im using FA depending on the flavour it can get as high as 20% of the finished soup.

 

I'm gonna guess and say no. Generally you dont see recipe's for doublers, not much point DIY'ing a doubler unless you want to sell it. That 20% will generally be for the entire mix. 15-20% is normal for the more common brands.

 

This is the answer I was after, thank you
