I have been making some batches of Juice and my current result / issue is getting annoying. What is happening is a total lack of flavor, like none. It smells amazing in the bottle, but when you vape it.... none. now let me break down what I have done and am doing.
1. I noticed this happening when developing my own blends so I grabbed a few recipes from other people that they know to be good to see if the error is with me. Here is a simple example mix I have been testing:
10ml
70 vg 30 pg
TFA Rice Crunchies 10.2%
TFA Strawberry (Ripe) 3%
Bottle 1: I let it sit and steep for a week then tried it.... No flavor but juice in bottle smells great. I know it should steep for longer because of the crunches but I should be getting some flavor notes after a week of steeping.
Bottle 2: Steep in crock pot for 4 hours @140 deg.... Same results as above.
Bottle 3: Steep in crockpot for 4 hours @140 deg, let rest and steep for 3 days, then steep in ultrasonic for 2 hours @150 deg. Same results as above.
All three bottles have a noticeable color change after steeping but zero impact on flavor. Keep in mind that this is not the only rec that this is going on with. I have a batch of tigers blood at 70vg 30pg that is normally great right after mixing and that is just bland and dull. I the only thing in my set up that I have changed is I am now using pipette's and a pipette pump for mixing instead of syringes. All flavors are TFA and PG and VG are not some crap brand stuff. Also I have tested these juices in many different devices, RDA, 2 different subtanks etc.
What in the hell is going on??? Aside from any input that you have. Can someone post a recipe that they know is great straight after mixing with no steeping so I can make it tonight and see if once again I am getting this result.
