My DIY ejuice doesn't taste great but my friends disposable tastes great. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, ethyl maltol is a sweetener, use sparingly if at all. Disposables probably use a different one, and most will actually mute the flavor... EM doesn't, ime. Although I hardly ever find a need for it.

6 - 7, even up to 10 can work well, maybe even a bit higher, depending on the brand/flavor. Some brands are very concentrated, and 1 - 2 % is all that's needed. Others, not so much.

One of my regulars is at 12 - 3 TFA flavors all at 4%. Same flavors from other makers, I need to reduce that.

Random DIY mixing and More

Good afternoon random folks. It's raining lightly here, but the septic guy is hard at work digging. The tank will go in in about an hour from now, and the system will be set up tomorrow. I might just be able to stay in my home starting tomorrow.
Good afternoon, Terri.:) That would be great.

Been mixing for years, and disposables do taste way bolder. They use high flavor percentages (15-20%) and tons of sweetener. Try upping your flavor, like 8-10% for Hawaiian Punch vibes or 5-7% Capella Vanilla Custard with some ethyl maltol. Steep longer too.
Everyone else is telling me to drop my flavor percentage down to around 6-7. How do they use such a high percentage and have it taste good? Is it the sweetener? What do you use for sweetener? Is that what ethyl maltol is?

Thanks!

CASAA CALLS TO ACTION!

CALL TO ACTION: SOUTH CAROLINA

A bill (S.287) known to advocates as “PMTA Registry” legislation has passed the state senate and is now being considered in the house.

If enacted, this law would effectively make the state of South Carolina an enforcement arm of cigarette companies and the Food and Drug Administration, empowering state authorities to enforce the disastrous federal anti-vaping regulations. This would put hundreds of independent vape shops out of business, hundreds of workers out of jobs, and thousands of South Carolina residents at risk of returning to smoking, or delaying attempts at quitting.

Please take a minute to make a call to your state representative. You can find their info on CASAA’s Legislator Lookup page.

Also send an email to your lawmakers urging them to oppose S.287!
