DIY E-Juice: My Flavors are Inconsistant

[Zhooligan20]

So, I started to make my own juice. Obviously I'm running into some problems. One big one is that my flavor in a batch is inconsistent. The first half of the batch is sweet and nice, but once I get down to the end of one bottle, the flavor is different and a bit more bitter. Why is this? Am I not steeping it long enough. My steeping technique is a warm water bath for 2 hours, right after I make it. And then I stow it away in a dark place for 3-4 days. One of my newest batches had a good flavor right when I opened it up. But once I got halfway through it... I couldn't even taste the fruity flavor. What am I doin wrong?

Do you remember to shake the bottle before filling your tank? Liquids can separate out - particularly if they are high VG.

...shaking the flavoring bottles well before mixing?

1. Several things can account for this. If your vaping it constantly your taste bud could be burnt out from the flavor. SO put it down for a while and go back to it and see if the flavor comes back

2. your coil could be getting clogged, burnt or overly dirty. Try a new coil.

3 .If what your saying is after a few weeks the batch gets bitter then it could be the steeping process. but we would need more info on the mix to be sure such as flavoring and how much you use, make up of the base etc.... Flavors do change over time some for the better some not so much for the better

My guess is inconsistent mixing before bottling. Been there a long time ago - done that - got the shirt - learned my lesson. I use a milk frother before steeping and bottling after I steep. For massive batches I use a magnetic stirrer before steeping and before bottling. Everything Danny said could be the culprit as well.

1. I don't vape that much. This may not be the issue.

2. Tried it. Still not gettin the flavor

3. This ay be the issue. I'll let it sit a few more days
