Hey ECF!,

So another set of questions and opinions request from me, love the information and quality of help i receive from you all!

INFO:

I have 1,000ml bottle of 100% VG with 3ml Nic premixed inside of it, i freeze it when im not using it to keep the nic fresh and i let it sit out 1 day before when i need to make some ejuice,

When i make ejuice with the above premix, i use an ejuice calculator and i have TFA Bavarian Cream and Banana Nut Bread flavors.

Questions:

1) Even if i mix only 10% - 15% of ether of the above flavors... my ejuice seems very thin.. watery even, is there a reason for that? I only mix 1 flavor usually.

On the Uwell Crown i literally go through the tank 4 times in a couple hours and with the Herakles Plus tank, wow that thing sucks up ejuice, literally in 10 minutes the 3.6 ml tank is empty

2) Whats a really good stand alone flavor? Neither the Bavarian Cream at 10% or the Banana Nut Bread at 7% thru 15% is that good, even after steeping for a few days or a week neither of the above flavors are that great, very mute.

For flavor suggestions id like to try a coffee flavor if there are any stand alone's for that? Please share your opinion on steeping length and percentage if you've tried it.

3) NOOB QUESTION: Is it bad and if so how bad is it that i use the same bottle for ejuice? Example is that i will finish off my 50ml plastic bottle then hot water wash it out dry it then make a new batch.. Also I have 2 syringes that i use over and over, 1 is for the premix Nic and other for flavors, is this bad?

Are you sure it VG and not PG. and how warm is the Juice when you say its thin.
Sounds to me like your lack of flavor is a result of the amount of power you are using to vape with. IMO, more power equals more juice consumed, but LESS flavor.
I reuse my old juice bottle. In fact I have yet to buy and empty bottle.
Definitely VG, clouds for days!! Also i'm using the Uwell Crown 0.5 Stainless Steel Coils on Temp Control settings on the RX200 Wismec Mod at 550 F. at 55 Watts. Ive tried lighter but it hits Temp Protection to fast if i put it under 470 F.

Delta - you may want try vaping that juice using the .5 ohm SS Crown coil in power mode, not TC - start at around 25 watts or so and adjust up from there. You can use SS in both power and TC modes.

There are 2 factors to consider:
1. .5 ohms is a really high resistance for TC.
2. The Crown .5 is a double coil. Double coils can be wonky in temp control. (Many threads about this in ECF to search for)

I'm not suggesting there isn't an issue with your mix, but if the juice works a lot better for you in power mode you've narrowed it down.

For TC mode with the Crown I'd suggest the .15 NI200 coils, or roll your own with the RBA deck. The .5 coil is (IMHO) not the best choice for TC. I've even been having issues using the .25 SS Crown coils in TC. The temps as seen in the Escribe device monitor are all over the place. The vapes were anemic and weak in TC, but fantastic in power mode at 50 watts.
