So! here we go new to DIY, have made a few juices following recipes, and they taste like crap...I'm not sure what the problem might be, maybe percentages ? I picked higher % flavoring recipes because of my 100% vg nic base
my first round of experiments was made with wizardlabs vg/pg and nic, I made my own mix of 6mg 100% vg nic
1st experiment was with peach steeped 1 week, then 2, no change in the longer it steeped, actually tasted ok on immediate vape test: I think it comes out to about 25/75 pg/vg (using e-juice me up calculator)
3.75 ml of nic
juicy peach (tfa) 12%
vanilla swirl (tfa) 10%
sweet and sour (tfa) 2%
cotton candy (tfa) 1%
steep result: crappy , no flavor at all, actually very harsh, seemed to ruin my atomizer, testing with kangertech emow battery and aspire 1.8 atomizer in K-1 glassomizer tank
another one I made was:
hazelnut (tfa) 8%
caramel (tfa) 8%
bourbon (LA) 8%
same base, same equipment, this one actually turned out ok, I don't like the strong bourbon, but assuming this can be adjusted, it was at least vapeable.
What I'm after is a Peach Rings type of flavor on the 1st one and then a Caramel Nutz by five star on the 2nd. Oh, and I also tried raspberry in place of Peach on the first one and it was equally bad.
Any suggestions ?
