Hey gang, I just mixed a couple e-juices together, snickers and vanilla and now there is a perfume smell. I've read that a perfume smell is indicative of too much flavoring. Is that possible when adding two e-juices together? Would the fix be to add some unflavored PG/VG to the mix?

the snickers is going to smell for about 5 days.. takes about 8 days for it to be a good vape..
I used Flavors West Snickers.. started at 7% and went up 1% at a time until 10% and that's where I was happy with it..
Vanilla can't help you with..
if your talking about pre-mixed flavors, then I'm lost..

I can't see why just mixing 2 e-juices would do that. It could be the 2 flavors may have interacted with each other to give it that smell. Some flavors just don't go well together. Give it a few days to a week to steep leaving the cap off for the first 24 hours if it don't improve then the flavors just don't go well with each other.

I thought of that but I've mixed these to juices together in the past and didn't have a problem.
Thinking back, this is what happened. I had some snickers in a bottle (~10ml) and wanted a bit more choco flavor so I added a few drops to it. I vaped it on and off a couple days but it was a tad harsh (TH) so I mixed in some vanilla juice (0nic) and when I did, that's when the perfume smell came about.
I'm confused. Perhaps I'll let it sit a bit and see what happens.
Recently I tried mixing 2 different (much loved) juices together thinking it would be great but it turned out horrible! I had such high hopes for it too it was a real bummer. It also gave off that perfumey taste and smell to it which I thought was weird since neither of the juices had that problem before I mixed them together. I cant figure out what went wrong but as DannyV said it must be either those flavors just don't play nicely with each other or its just plain over-flavoring. Lesson learned though if there is a next time I will just mix small amounts together first instead of dumping two 10ml bottles together ha.
Ouch MissAmerican! I think I'd keep that one steeping for a while or add some unflavored PG to the mix.
I got lucky since the smell went away after sitting in the tank overnight. I still have no idea why it happened though because I only added like 3-4 drops to 2 ml.
Hm, now I'm wondering if adding just a few drops of the milk chocolate is why it went perfumy on me. Makes me wonder if my chocolate test batch was too strong to start with and when I went to higher % it just killed the taste even more. I think I'm gonna do some testing at lower % to see if the taste comes around.

If U want to dilute the flavor of a strong mix, it's best to use VG. PG carries flavor.
