Baffling flavor change

[magus7091]

Okay, so a friend of mine brought over some graham cracker and peanut butter flavoring and I got an idea for a peanut butter pie flavor. I made several bottles at 100 ml and I've been absolutely LOVING the flavor for a couple weeks. The other day, I made three more, but I get this terrible, nondescript sweet taste. I'm mixing using cleaned labware, the same flavoring and nicotine base, and disposing of any over-pour to avoid cross contamination of any kind. More baffling is that I repeated the whole thing to make my buddy a bottle using the same everything, and on his setup it tasted fantastic. Back to mine; crap taste again. I've been dripping on a velocity, and I regularly clean the whole thing. I don't understand what the problem is, and would love any help anyone could offer.
This is the recipe, with amounts for a 100 ml bottle, 60mg vg base, 80/20 mix at 3mg. If anyone wants to play with this and see what they get, I'd like some feedback.

what is the difference between your setup/build and power levels and his??? My though is this isn't a juice problem it sounds more like a vaping equipment issue. It's not the Juice but HOW you are vaping. Proof of this is that the juice only tastes bad in your gear, not the friends.

You say you clean your velocity regularly...how exactly do you clean it? What do you use to clean it? Perhaps that may be a clue...

This is a very good possibility but I am leaning towards vape temperature or wattage, power level?

Well there you have it...you changed something....even something that seems rather insignificant can result in an unexpected outcome.

I would bet it's wattage or coil and wick setup.

Only thing is, I've been running the same coils, or mostly the same setup. I constantly play with power levels as well, to tailor my vape for my momentary wants. I'm pretty adhd, vape wise. I'm just wondering if it's a matter of perspective. I've given that particular flavor a rest since posting this thread, and I'll report back once I go back to it.

As far as cleaning, I usually just use hot water, and a toothbrush. I do this usually every 3 days or so, to prevent any buildup of dry liquid around my post holes. I also usually rebuild about once a week, because I've found the flavor declines after that time. When I rewick, I clean the coils and all, and when I rebuild, I always disassemble my old build, then clean the deck the same way.
