Hello, I would like to ask if somebody knows what should be the reason that all my DIY e-liquids have muted flavour. I am following famous recipes like DIY or DIE and fresh03 for example, I do everything as it say, I use syringe, I leave them to steep a couple of days. I am doing them with 100% VG base and my nicotine is e-liquid France 70/30 VG/PG. I am using Avocado. Any ideas? Thanks

Everyone's taste is different so you may want to up the flavor %. Other than that it takes a little time after you quit smoking to get your taste buds and sense of smell back. It may be that if you just recently quit. The only other thing is if your flavors are from a different manufacturer, or possibly a less than reputable supplier that is watering down flavors to increase profit margins. I'm just spitballing here but that's all I got, good luck.
Im new to mixing my own juice so i started with just two concentrates and premixed 70% PG 30% VG . and menthol and to be quite honest im really pleased with the flavour and hit . I dont use nicotine as im a non smoker but love to vape ... im planning on getting a few more flavours in the next few weeks to add to my e juice
Might not be the e-Liquid it could be your Avocado or the way you are firing it. Need a bit more info but I have found some of my e-Liquids taste better with less power put to the atomizer and some like more power. Good Luck finding the answer to your issue.
If you are mixing max VG; you may be needing more than just "a couple of days" for the flavors to blend. Because VG is thicker, some find an increased period for aging (one to two weeks{or even more}), and others find it necessary to boost the flavor concentrates in order to get the flavors where they want them.
I don't know how large of a batch(es) you made, but if you are going to start tweaking them, I would first set part of each recipe aside. This will give you a "control" sample for both seeing what a little extra aging will do as well as something for comparison to see what affect your changes have.
Make sure you keep good notes about what you are doing so you can duplicate it in the future. I have lost more than one "success" because I failed to note what I had done and was never able to repeat it again.
Take a lesson from my mistakes!
It could be any number of things: what flavors are you using, what company are they from, maybe you need to up the flavor percentages, or change your wattage. Some flavors like sweet candy and dessert flavors need more steep time. Keep in mind that DIY flavors won't really taste like store bought juices, unless maybe you're trying to clone a flavor.
What are the flavor profiles , are they Strawberry based because many people complain about having trouble tasting those types of recipes .
I have made quite a few DIY or DIE recipes myself and i have not had any that really impressed . On another note, you having trouble tasting flavorings when using 100% VG is expected , PG carries flavors much better than VG .
I have trouble finding recipes that really impress also but one i came back to after trying every clone of it and being disappointed is Suicide Bunny's Mothers Milk .
I decided to Google the official "leaked recipe" and that one is very different from the others but to my amazement it turned out to be amazing and very tasty , it's the one with a dash of TFA Cinnamon Spice .
Another full on flavor recipe that people should make if full on flavor is what they want is the Adirondack "Placid" clone below:
Placid is
HoneySuckle 4%
Pear 4%
Strawberry 4%
Lime 1%
It's very tasty with any flavoring from any manufacturer and an all time best seller .
