I recently purchased all the diy fluids I thought I needed. Mixed a batch up and OMG, it was putrid! I'm trying to trouble shoot/diagnose my mistakes.
My recipe (using a calculator tool) for 10ml @ 12mg nicotine:
.8 ml strawberry shortcake
.6 ml blueberry
4.4 ml VG
3 ml PG
1.2 ml nicotine [50/50 100mg/ml]
It was like a children's fruit scented perfume. Instant headache, terrible taste that doesn't wash of of my coil!
I added 1ml of PG, with no improvement. I have since decided that both the flavor and nicotine are much too strong for my liking. Initially I thought steeping would help but after reading a bit, I think I made a concentrate that could just be cut down with more pg/vg. It was 14% flavor, I think I'd be happy with much less!
Any suggestions appreciated. I was curious if sweeteners might help after cutting this back with my diluents?
