DIY dilema

[Mode]

Hi to all my fellowvapers..!!!
Im mode from Malaysia... been vaping and tobacco free since 2011 but new to ecf. Been DIY'ing for the past 6 months. Made some fantastic smelling juices since...yes fantastic smell..only that.. Lacking taste,smoothness,mouthfeel and sweetness like those premium juices...been playing around with flav percentage, ethyl maltol, malic/citric and sucralose but i still end up with the same harsh and lack of flavour. So far i go for 12mg 50/50@20% total flavouring...did warm bath, steeping and breathing as well...even using the layering technique when i mix but the result is still the same...the taste is not quite there...doesnt 'pop' and lack of that fullness...oh ya, using all TPA and capella...should i increase the total flavouring? As im afraid of overflavouring it...and what is 'premium' extra flav? Additives? Need your help guys...thanks

Hello @Mode and welcome to the forum. I have a few links for DIY which might help you. Most of my recipes are in the 15 to 20% range. You might find an answer in the blogs.

...oh ya, using all TPA and capella...

I never had a lot of luck either with those brands for some reason. Either too light flavor or didn't taste anything like what it was supposed to be.

My favorites right now are Inawera and VZ SC / VZ Gourmet flavors. I'm on the fence about Hangsen flavors but still trying many different ones.

For the Inawera, between 3% and 4% does the job. On the SC flavors, 1% to 3% depending on the flavor. For most of the tobaccos, I don't use any additives. For the fruit flavors, I add EM and sucralose.

I think its about time for me to try out other brands..cheers man
