So I have plenty of flavors now, anything from menthol to caramel to ry4 double. My question is what kind of add ons would you suggest?? Ry4 double isn't bad but it is very alcoholy and prolly just needs steeping. All my batches are getting better, but still,something seems missing. What ingredients changed the game for you??

I used to use some sweetener but honestly, since I have been getting flavors from Inawera, I don't add anything at all. They are absolutely spot on and delicious.

Hello again matt :) Try steeping your flavors, Uncap them and let stand for a day or two. You can also get a pot of the hottest water your sink will provide, submerse the flavors in that. Then remove them once the water has cooled and uncap overnight for the same effect.

I have heard that RY4 needs time to steep, though i have never used it. Anyway, thats my 2:2c:

Steeping is a sealed bottle sitting for awhile out of sunlight to allow all the components to mix/combine.

Airing-Out, or letting a bottle Breathe, is an open bottle sitting for awhile out of sunlight to allow the nicotine to start oxidizing, and/or evaporate out some more volatile flavoring notes and/or alcohol.

I've got a few mixes where steeping helps. Only one mix where letting it breathe helps.

I don't do an RY4, but I understand it's one that usually gets some help from steeping. (If you like the bitterness from oxidizing nicotine, then letting it breathe may be a good idea too.)

No ingredient changed the game for me. It was finding the right flavoring level. I've found some that if they are 0.4% off go from great to ugh. I've also found some that can vary 5% without much of an issue. Flavoring level was such a big deal, it was my fist blog on mixing.
