Unflavored.
Light sweetness from VG.

What are some flavors or recipes you are gravitating to?

Perhaps reducing the overall flavor percentage would help?

FA Nonna Cake comes to mind as a not sweet flavor as does TFA Anise.

Not Particularly. I've been vaping mainly fruit flavors in most case. I wouldn't mind trying out other flavor notes.

I'll check out the TFA Anise.

Unflavored.
Light sweetness from VG.

Never thought about just vaping just VG. Doesn't it get tiring (boring)?

I always have my unflavored base 25/75 7mg set up, along with another flavored setup to vape on.
Seems to help, when the flavored gets to be too much for all day vaping.

I'm like @puffon. I keep a 180mL bottle of unflavored base, in my default ratio (40P/60V/5mg), mixed at all times. I probably vape on it 70-80% of the time. It is super quick to mix, doesn't require any aging, is the most inexpensive recipe I will ever make, and it is handy for mixing quick single flavor testers as needed.

It certainly doesn't "wow" me; but it is satisfying and gets the job done, and I haven't tired of it yet (more than a year of vaping). It works as well as flavored when I am not paying attention to what I am vaping. It doesn't seem to lend itself toward vapor's tongue (for me anyway). As an added bonus, since I have started vaping the unflavored, I have been able to reduce the total amount of flavoring I use in my flavored recipes, on average, by nearly half! By this reduction, plus not vaping flavored nearly as much in general; my flavor purchases have dropped dramatically.

If you haven't tried it; I strongly encourage you to do so. I admit that it is not for everyone; but for those who do like it, it meets a whole passel of needs!

I don't care for strong sweets or strong tobaccos or anything that I call Cloying and in your face. I'm with IDJoel. I keep 200ml to 300ml of unflavored around and use it to cut flavors that I don't like at standard percentages. That way I can create the mix that works from my DIY mixes on the fly. If I want a stronger vape I can always choose not to cut it.

I just squirt a little of the standard mix in a tank and fill the rest with unflavored. Sometimes, if it's something that I vape daily I create a separate bottle of the cut down mix once I have decided what the right ratio is.

If some of the recipes you're mixing are calling for sweetener, try substituting Marshmallow in it's place @ the same %. That should help a bit. As others have suggested, you could try reducing the flavoring in the mix. A 10% reduction would likely be a good starting point. YMMV... Good luck & let us know how it works out for you.

Been vaping as suggested for a month now. It's so much better. I'm just vaping single flavors to get a hint of something so, it doesn't feel like I'm vaping just air.

thanks guys for the advice.
