I'm having a problem mixing any flavors that have cinnamon in them. Specifically capella's cinnamon danish swirl and flavor west's churro flavors. If I mix them to where they taste great at the time of mixing, after a week or so they are very week. FW churro for example; When I received it, I mixed up a sample batch of just that flavor at 10%. Next day it tasted great. A week later I could barely taste any cinnamon at all and the juice was just bland. I remixed at 15%. A little strong on the cinnamon a day after mix. A week later. Bland. Made another batch at a whopping 20%. Didn't taste it the next day, but a week later it was barely as strong as the 10% batch on the day of mixing. CDS is the same way. What is the trick to getting the cinnamon flavor to be present without having to use an astronomical amount of flavoring?

Not that I have an answer for you (I'd love to hear from the pros on this though) but what were your PG/VG percentages?
From what I've read, that can make a difference in taste, both long term and short term.

I have both of those flavors and I'm getting ready to mix them up hopefully soon so I have good reason to hear an answer to your question about the fading.

Can't be sure as I don't use cinnamon but a simple search revealed this.

"Jet Fuels Papi Churro. I do an 80/20 VG/PG using 15% Flavorwest Cinnamon Roll and 5% Flavorwest Cinnamon Churro. It's real good. If you use a higher PG you might need to adjust the amount of flavoring."

Over flavoring will generally result in no flavor or a drop in flavor over time. Also adding to much additives such as sweetener will result in the same thing. Do a search on "flavorwest churro" and you will find a lot of posts on that flavor and some tips on how it's used..

A good tip is to try reducing the VG content of the base. Maybe try a 50/50 then reduce the amount of flavoring. Also after a week of vaping check your coils to make sure there not all crusted and gunked up if so rebuild that RBA or replace that atty. Gunking of the coils result in flavor loss. Coils gunk up very quickly with sweet vapes.
