DIY E-Juice turn wrong

[Ichiyuri]

Hi I'm new in DIY e-juice...
I try to make my own juice by using ultrasonic cleaner...
The juice at 1st taste good but not last long....
I try to make Lemon Coke Juice but last for 2 days after steep for 4 hour and then put stevia and koolada for 3 day.....

for 30ml 60vg 40pg my lemon is 10% coke is 8% stevia 15% and koolada is 15% and nic 6mg.

Mind help me regard the koolada % and also the flavour?
people said that too much lemon can kill the taste too....

Kinda frustrated about it....

we have a DIY forum which would probably be a better place to ask,

[Spencer87]

nope!!! sorry!!! I didnt realize that we stopped that! it used to be an anti spam thing... new members had to post in new members forum first.... Sorry about that!!! I am wrong! be my guest. Dozo! (means go ahead)

 

[Ichiyuri]

No problem.....

Personally I haven't made the juice you are trying to make, I'v only made single flavor batches and then begin to mix those batches in smaller batches so i don't waste too much juice. But it seems your flavor % over all is too high. If you add all ur flavor %'s thats 48% flavoring, id say this is Way too high. I wouldn't go above 25% all together.

 

[Ichiyuri]

my flavour all togather is only 18%
koolada for mint and stevia for sweet......
still confusing about the process... I got tray about 20ml and the taste different from 30ml....

10% + 8% + 15% + 15% = 48% unless i'm missing something here...

I'm guessing when you say "tray" you mean "try"?? you tried 20ml of what? and the taste is different from 30ml of what? Not trying to condescend here, just trying to understand what you are saying...

Your everything is too much. I keep my flavors below 20 % and on some strong flavors I go even lower. Koolada is a coil clogger and mostly used to give an icy cool effect to mints and menthols, I am not sure what you are using it for here, but you want to lower it to 1% or less
Try Coke12% Lemon 2%, sweetener 1%, and see how that goes. Make a small 5 ml batch and then if you want to change anything make another small 5 ml batch until you get your recipe perfected and like said shoot over to the DIY section and you will find a lot of info there.
If you add koolada, I would start at .50 % and then move up to 1% if you needed more of the cool mint taste, I have never found a minty taste in a lemon coke though.

Remember the Juice will need to steep, even with using the UltraCleanse the taste will still change a little in a few days.

Correct I usually go 15-20%

 

[Ichiyuri]

if I combine all the juice + sweetener + mint = 15%-20%
does the taste will be much better?

especially the sweet and also the mint....

I tried before but something went missing...
I not sure other country juice taste like, but here a bit more into sweet and that make me sick of it.

I wanna make juice that really stand out but on the same time got sweet and cool feeling....
will try again combine all the flavour 15-20% and pg+vg is85%-80%

Hi @Ichiyuri . I would suggest trying a few recipes that are made by someone else before experimenting on your own.

Start with the first link listed, it's one of my favorites. I use the ultrasonic cleaner to steep my juices. I do 2 hours worth of ultra followed by an over night "breathe" where I let the juice relax and leave the cap off. It works for me.

I would highly suggest using a juice calculator :

Be certain and take notes on every batch you make.

Good luck in your journey.

As everyone said, way too much flavoring. Start with WAAAY lower %'s..

 

[Kriengsak Wangdulyakiti]

for 30ml 60vg 40pg my lemon is 10% coke is 8% stevia 15% and koolada is 15% and nic 6mg.

I think you mean stevia 1.5%. I don't know how it is to be if 15% is really on the mix. You could taste very bitter and dry burnt taste as well.

koolada is 15%. I have never seen any recipe using 15% koolada before. It is very high.

 

[Ichiyuri]

Thanks @Sir2fyablyNutz.... I just want to ask the same question regarding steep using ultrasonic and resting way....
thanks for the info.... will try it later on....

 

[Ichiyuri]

@Kriengsak Wangdulyakiti I try with low such as 5% but not too minty... then upgrade to 10% still not too minty.. then 15% = way too minty then feel like a bit dry taste........ the flavour become not stable and not mix well... huhuhu....
stevia also the same...

what I do is steep using ultrasonic and then let it for about few day then I vape..

1st try, steep with ultrasonic then cap off... the taste goes wrong.. like all the taste gone. Maybe I cap off too long...
2nd try, steep with ultrasonic then no cap off... let it for 3 days and then the juice taste good and much good but something like something wrong about the taste. like I vape koolada insteed cola.. huhuuu



I saw some review said about the flavour is 5% - 20%, and I though just the main flavour is 5%-20% not include other....
will try do low....
but koolada and stevia if I put it as low as 0.5%-1% does the juice will taste sweet and mint?

I checked another site "e-liquid-recipes" and the average use of Koolada is 1.5 % , I cannot imagine going over 2% in a recipe. As far as the sweetener I have no experience with stevia, but I have used the tfa sucralose sweetner. In my experience .5 is about the average for my recipes, with as much as 1% in some recipes and 2% in others. Sometimes (often) when you use too much it mutes or takes away from the flavor profile. I would try at 1% on both the koolada and sweetner, you can always add a drop more, but it takes a lot of pg/vg/nic to dilute a recipe.

 

[Ichiyuri]

@Sir2fyablyNutz meaning to say inside the juice still need a lot of pg/bg/nic to delute the recipe....
okey.... I try to make 1 today after back from work...
sweet and koolada I try make as low as possible....

Now vaping the OD flavour and kinda fun....
just that sometime the taste is killing the flavour

The entire flavor profile or group of flavors should be below 15 to 20 %. Koolada is a strong flavor and you should use small amount Mint is also a strong flavor and should be a small amount as are your citrus flavors like lemons and limes. Try 2 % of the sweetener and 1 to 1.5 % on the Koolada and like Sir2fyably said, get some recipes from the sites he listed and learn from those recipes instead of trying to come up with your own, once you get some recipes you like and learn what mixes good with what and what will be too strong then start mixing your own recipes.
