Bitter fruit mixes with PA

[Paisley]

I had good success with PA's Peach, Coconut Extra, Cinnamon and Honey. I can't tatse the Strawberry or Watermelon flavor, it's just a bitter/chemical taste, I use PA's Cotton Candy for sweetener and have tried using VG or PG only and 50/50 PG/VG. I just got PA's Sweetener but have not used it yet.

Any suggestions?

I am just starting DIY and really know nothing but am wondering if maybe they will require a little steep time? I am interested in the answer also as I just got these PA flavors myself.

It's not you, it's just those flavors. Not all flavorings by any one company are created equal, some are better than others and more appropriate for certain tastes. Although I haven't yet tried the Watermelon or Strawberry, some of PA's fruit flavors have that artificial/chemical taste. The flavors you had success with are some of the better ones in my opinion.

You could try leaving the bottle open overnight and see if that lets some of the bad part of the flavor air out. Hope it helps.

I have got a decent flavor with PA's Watermelon BUT - I had to use more then twice the amount of flavoring I normally use plus I had to use a lot of ez-sweetz. I have had no luck with either PA's Sweetener or PA's Cotton Candy - they are both so watered down as I find myself having to add about as much of them as I do my base flavorings

I've had good luck with both Watermelon and Strawberry from PA.

I mixed the Watermelon at 18% and added 1 drop/5ml of vape Wizard to a 80/20 PG/VG base.

Strawberry has been used in other mixes, but not alone... So far...

Nice clean flavors. I like them.

At first I liked PA's strawberry, but now I'm not so sure. I have that chemically aftertaste also. I'm going to try FA or Capella's strawberry to see if they're better. I have PA's watermelon, but I haven't mixed it yet. It does smell a little odd and chemically, though.

I mixed a 15 ml bottle with 80% 80/20 pg/vg 24mg and 20% Strawberry, that's 60 drops folks and still no good or strong Strawberry Flavor,, just wondering if i need to use 6mls of the flavoring rather than 3? the others i mixed were grape, watermelon, and peach they all had good flavor....any help would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone, guess I need to bump up the %Flavor and let it sit open over night. Glad I'm only mixing 2-3ml at a time to start out.
Might have to try out the ez-sweetz if the PA's sweetener doesn't work out better than the Cotton Candy, I though the honey might work good as a sweetener but it is a really strong flavor, great to cover up mixing mistakes though plus I like the flavor.
