Longer steep aging time might help mellow things out.... set bottle on a dark shelf for 2 or 3 weeks... give a good shake every couple days.. remove bottle top for first day or so.i bought my premix from perfect vape. the brand is nicselect. and a 80/20 vg/pg 3mg nic. i get a strong throat hit from pretty much any fruit flavour. i use FW, and TFA most of the time
