DIY TFA Flavorings ?s

[SLM5150]

I am new to making juice. So far I have tried Lorann flavorings and they seem to be strong flavors but a lot of food colorings made them vape awkward. Recently, I got about 15 different flavors from Flavors apprentice. The flavors are challenging me to find the right percentages. I read the forums on each and it says many people are using 15 -20% flavor. I have been trying and it seems like anytime I use over 10% there is a strong alcohol taste and it burns throat. When i use less it seems to not be flavorful. Does anyone have any suggestions to counteract the strong alcohol taste and burn? Or is there an updated chart with percentages?

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

What PG/VG ratio are you using? Do you let your e-liquid age (cap off/cap on/shake it up, etc)?

For all things DIY head on over to the DIY ELiquid Forum. Make sure to read all the "stickies". Also check out the blogs by ECF members Hoosier & dannyv45.

Welcome to ECF. Check out the DIY section under "General eLiquid Discussion". Read dannyv45 and hoosier's blogs and all the sticky's. 15 to 20% could be way to high depending on the flavor. There is also a recipe section under DIY and a TFA thread with recommended %'s depending on the flavor..

Thanks everyone... I'm trying different pg/vg ratios. From 60vg/40pg, 55vg/45pg, and 50/50. I usually shake it after I make it and wait 24 hour before I try it.

Sometimes you have to expirement to see what percentage works for you. I use TPA flavors and some I go lower and some I go higher. It just depends on my taste and the flavor itself.
