Help with first time mixing...

Hi everyone, Firstly thank you for the fantastic posts and recipes I've read so far.

My hubby and I recently started Vaping and both have given up smoking after 36years for the past 3 months.

As we are both on Disability Pensions we would love to mix our own juice to help save more.

We have bought 18 flavours and equipped ourselves with VG and PG etc, and we but we're finding our mixes are tasting chemically wrong even after steeping for up to 2 weeks.

Can anyone help with what we possibly are doing wrong please?

We have measured all ingredients and use an e liquid calculator to get ratios right. Between the taste and sometimes flavour we are not sure what to do.

Thanks in advance, Delly

Welcome to VU. I'm a new to mixing myself, but I know the more experienced will be along soon. To start What brands of VG, PG, and nic are you using? What is your work flow? Do you mix by volume or weight? What recopies have you tried so far? The answers to these question will help in diagnosing the problem.

List your flavors you have on hand...

make sure you put the co. name of each..
Like TFA

Good morning! All of the above! Some flavors suck, plain and simple.

You also may be using older recipes? Hardware has changed so much year to year. A 2016 recipe would probably not be great on a 2019 RDA.

Let’s see a few recipes you’re using and your flavor stash. That will definitely help diagnose your issues. Welcome to VU!!!

To add some recipes are best for MTl vs DL vaping. the whole surface area meets air flow and so on...

But Yes
Some flavors suck, plain and simple.

Thanks in advance, Delly

Ok, first thing you really should do is open an account at ELR. Here's the link.
https://e-liquid-recipes.com/

Once it's opened, go to USER, My Flavor Stash, then enter the flavors you have. Be careful and make sure you have the correct flavor and manufacturer names. Once this is done, it'll make things easier.

It wouldn't hurt to also list what you've already made. Again, names are very, very important and also give the percentages you used.
