That's 5% sweetener? That's a lot of sweetener. When I use it at all, I think I use .5-1%. I tried a recipe at 2% once, and it was too much.
Not only that, that is a huge amount of sweetener. Your coiled are going to gunk up really quickly.
20 seems pretty common in recipes I've seen online (I only make a couple, and they're 10-14). But 5% sweetener is up there on the high end of the range...
I use a drop of "super sweet" (sucralose) every 30 ml, if I use it at all. That amount of sweetener is problematic in my opinion. If you are coming from commercial juices however, you may or may not enjoy it, I mean over time most DIY folks wind up lowering their sweetener and overall flavoring, and yes, it is true that many recipes out there call for a great deal of flavoring.... Well, I will say that most DIY folks on ECF are certainly using less flavoring, but DEFINITELY less sweetener. It WILL gunk your coils, and for me I'd probably be gagging, but well, you chose the recipe and followed it, so let us know how you like it.
The problem with too much sweetener (IMHO as always) is not only is it a coil gunker but it can also MUTE everything you've got going on and all you will taste is "sweet." If you like sweet, with a hint of flavor, well, you may be where you need to be.
If you find the juice awful, you can still experiment with it, including diluting it if needed if the flavor is overwhelming. I still think your ratios are out of wack, and addressing that will be harder, unless it just tastes great to you. That's always a possibility.

20% flavoring? , 5% sweetener ,,, good golly miss Molly.
It is rare I go over 7%, 5% is normal.
Never use any sweetener, Vg is sweet enough on its own for me in any 50/50 ratio recipe.

I've found TPA Pineapple to be insanely hard on my throat at 10% in a 0 nic 100PG juice, and even after diluting it to 5% it was still causing significant irritation. I hope your experience will be better.
You might should make a smaller batch first, to see how you'll like it. Are you using nicotine? Even if you aren't, that's an awful lot of flavor concentrate to pour down the drain if you end up not liking it. Could turn out to be a pretty costly experiment.
Yeah that one is strong. I made this recipe a while back and the pineapple is the most prominent flavor even at only 1%:
"Lava Flow" (Naked 100 clone - I've never had the original but it looked good and I had all the ingredients)
(All TPA)
1% Coconut Extra
1% Pineapple
7% Strawberry
1% Sweet Cream
1% Sweetener
I mixed it 50/50 @ 6mg (original formula I think was 70VG @ 3mg, meant for drippers -- I'll try that next) and it was real tasty at ~11w in a Kayfun Lite rebuildable tank.
(I also tried CAP Golden Pineapple at 9% as a stand-alone, once. Yes, very harsh on the throat, and didn't taste like "pineapple" at all, tastes (smells) more like some baked-good than a fruit. Those are the only two I've tried, maybe it's just pineapple flavors in general are really strong? I actually still have that one around, I might try adding a few drops of it to tiny bottles of unflavored to see if there's a lesser % that will work for me.)
Not sure how it'll taste....but I guarantee it'll be ungodly sweet!
Not sure how it'll taste....but I guarantee it's going to wreck coils like nothing else. Maybe that should be the name of that liquid: "Coil Wrecker".
Flavorart makes a very nice, semi mellow pineapple. Their fruits are among the best, in my opinion .
Yeah....as busy as this place has been, relevance is important
Quickest way to get that done is the "report" button. I'll do it for you, this time.Please move to the DIY forum
Um, okay. I'm not quite clear what you're posting, are you saying you want to try that amount of flavoring in that amount of base (and no nic)?
I'd advise against that if this is your first recipe. You need to do a small, tester sized bottle in the proportions you want to use for vaping it in a larger quantity.
Otherwise, there is the very real possibility that you will wind up with 800 ml of juice that you hate. Don't.

from what I see according to title, 800vg is 80 vg and 20 pg as the flavoring that would be 0mg. I think OP is missing the decimal point in the numbers...... that does sound like a good mix though. I think ill mix one up. I will post back my results. I have enough to try it out without any worries of not tasting the greatest. Mine is going to go with 30/70 3mg.
If you need that much eliquid, you don't want it that strong, or as high PG, and still not as unknown -- where's the "development"? You might need it that strong in something that uses <10 ml a week.
I buy flavoring in 10 ml bottles, and my favorite lasted a year.. ..
