Since Our Tastes are Different, and Our Gear is Different, SO IS OUR JUICE!

How many watts are you vaping your vanilla recipe at? I worked on a vanilla recipe for a long time, and was experiencing the same problem. Because of the peppery taste, I finally quit trying and gave up on the recipe. I sent a friend a sample of it kind of early on, and he liked it, but in order for it to be good he had to lower his wattage considerably. We both vape Reos, and with the coil builds we both use, it equates to between 30-35 watts. I never thought that maybe that would cause the problem, but he did. Once he told me, I loaded up a tank and put it on my 134 mini at 10 watts and BAM! No pepper taste and was a decent juice. I used like 6 different vanilla flavorings from different manufacturers. I don't know which flavoring it was,but something in the mix just couldn't take that much heat. If that's not the problem, the only other times I've heard pepper taste mentioned is when talking about nic base

Watts, wicks, coils and also airflow and even the diameter of your driptip opening have an major effect on the taste of e-juice for sure.

Before I started playing with flavors I vaped unflavored and occasionally a menthol crystal infused unflavored as my only vapes...I didn't notice a lot of change in flavor when changing the things I mentioned but with flavored liquids it's a whole new ballgame for sure.

This is so important. Since I make juice to work with my Taifun's at about 11 watts using a 1.4 ohm coil, my juices are tailor made for that vaping setup. Other setups, particularly high wattage vaping, will inevitably lead to poorer vaping experience, flavor-wise, in my experience, and for me. Many TFA flavorings are delicate little juices that won't work that great with high wattage sub-ohms. I found this out myself when I used to make juices for sale on the Strip. While they all tasted great to me, some tasted great to my low ohm dripping friends, some not so much. Some recipes that I thought were good, they thought were fantastic. Some that I thought were very good, they thought were way to weak. I began to make the juices with even more flavorings. In some cases that worked, in others.....nothing....no improvement. I believe the best vapes for flavor start with 1 - 1.5 ohm coils at about 10 - 12 watts. That is true for ME, maybe not for you, and is the sweet spot for my HARDWARE. 8 wraps of 29 gauge at 1/16" makes the coil for my RTA, 11 watts from my P3 (or Semo, or Eye), or calculated with voltage/ohms using my 2.5. But, since I mix for my own vaping pleasure, and not yours tongue, they work great for me. All mixologists have to take this into consideration. I have mentioned many times that I never met a juice that I didn't have to change to suit my preferences. Sure many of the juices and recipes were great, but unless they were made specifically for my gear and my vaping parameters, there's no way they could be optimal. So, keep this thought in mind when mixing juices. Seems to me that more heat tends to reduce the flavoring toward the less than optimal, but that's just me. For you, it might be Nirvana. So, again, just remember that we have to tweak our juices for our own vaping needs, tastes, gear, etc. Since I vape while travelling, working, in the home, pretty much everywhere, I don't want massive clouds, and need a large tank (5 mls). I want vapor that if I hold it for 10 seconds, it's almost entirely dissipated. Plus I prefer great flavor, not more vapor. But that's just me, it could be just the opposite, or entirely different for you. YMMV! We must take all of these variables into consideration, and customize our recipes and our juice to work with our preferences. That simple. Case closed!
