I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I'm missing that tiny bit of harshness when I make my own liquid.

What I've done so far:
I used Lorann Double-strength clear artificial vanilla extract. (Water, alcohol, artificial flavors and citric acid)
I also used PG and VG.

I used them in equal ratios, i.e. 1/3 PG, 1/3 flavoring and 1/3 VG. I had to add the VG because the liquid seemed a bit too runny.

I normally vape JC Kona Coffee in 0, which actually has a noticeable throat hit.

The liquid I made has a full, yet subtle vanilla flavor, good vapor, but no throat hit to speak of.

I noticed on the ingredients of the JC juice that there is citric acid, lemon (<1%) and vinegar (<1%). Could this be where the throat hit is coming from?

Does anyone know how I can had a bit of harshness to the too-smooth vapor? This is my first DIY attempt at liquid, and so far I'm a bit disappointed :-(

Chris--citric acid, lemon, and vinegar have all worked for me--but if you look though the threads I have posted, I have yet to ever find a Vanilla that gives a real strong good Vanilla taste!!!---Sun

Thanks, Sun. I tried adding maybe 3 drops of distilled white vinegar to about 4ml of the vanilla liquid I made myself. It didn't really add much kick.

In terms of vanilla flavor, I believe the vapor has a stronger vanilla scent than vapor.

I might just try adding some lemon juice later on to see how it affects the kick.

Thanks!
