Almost all of my mixes are high VG pretty much 80/20 and up. I think they are more muted than some pg mixes, I also find that you get a little more flavor if you vape it at a slightly higher wattage. Maybe its not your juice thats muted but the power delivery that is muting it. If you only have a mechanical you could build your coil just a hair lower to get more wattage.
I was thinking that too. I think im going to wait a few more days to let these steep and then im going to try rebuilding a lower resistance coil. Just now i put my dotmod rda on it with .45ohm and it has a pretty good flavor to it. I dont really like hot vaping so i probably wont go much lower than .3ohms

Ah ok i see. I used 1/4tsp of stevia powder mixed into my 30ml Strawberry/gummi bear mix. Its much better than it was before, but im still not getting tons of sweetness. Could it be that the flavors i bought from ebay are absolute garbage from china? :p

A 1/4 tsp seems like way to much for a 30ml bottle no wonder your coils are burning up. With Sucralose crystals we mix 1ml sucarlose to 9 mls PG and that is our concentrate used in the final mix at 1 - 2%. So unless I missed somthing about the potency of stevia you used way to much. Do you have undesolved crystals on the bottom of the bottle? Also I would think that if you bought it off of e-bay it's likely not pure stevia like you would get in a health food store like GNC. It likely has a lot of other crap in it as well that will clog coils and produce an off taste. I'm surprised no one caught that.

No I don't have any crystals floating around. It dissolved entirely. It's stevia andmaltodextrin. Stevia is no stronger than sugar. If you were to bake using stevia you would use a 1:1 ratio. 1 cup of stevia in the raw is equivalent to 1 cup of sugar.

It's the "in the raw" brand of powder stevia. If anything I thought I wasn't using enough because it's a 1:1 ratio with sugar
