ejuice flavors, DIY help

[n3oteris]

I have very few flavors I can vape. My favorite is a strong cinnamon like Redhots. I just started DIY and I cannot seem to get the flavors strong enough. Im using the recipes in ejuice Me Up which have anywhere from 5 to 8% flavoring. These dont seem enough for me. Am I missing something here? Is it required to steep all my DIY ejuice for a week or two? sry if this is a noob question. My flavor palate tends to require strong cinnamon or menthol's. Maybe increase my nic?
Any advice???

What brand of flavoring are you using and which flavor? If you check out the DIY liquid forum there are a few huge threads for each major flavor company with member compiled lists of percentage recommendations.

Some times over flavoring makes it as tasteless as if you had barely used any, so with out this info its hard to say if you should use more or less.

I use a lot of flavor in my mixes. Try something like 25% cinnamon and 15% sweetener. Depending on the flavor vendor, it should be a strong flavor without killing you.

Like someone said, it really depends on the brand of flavoring you use. Some of the super-concentrated flavors you only use 2-3% others call for 15%.

Be careful using too much flavoring- it has the same result as using too little. I would make small batches and slowly add a few more drops at a time. Let it steep a few days.

Ok, without the flavor names I would direct you here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...0-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread-168.html check your TFA flavors against the list and the reccommended percentages. And here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/74109-guide-diy-flavoring.html

Hope it helps!

I'm about to get going with TFA and maybe FA flavors. Steeping may be major factor here. I steep with a ultrasonic tank so it's less of wait.

If you increase the nicotine, you won't increase the flavor, just the throat hit.

Cinnamon flavoring is usually pretty strong, but you can purchase pre-mixed flavoring and just add your nicotine-

I think MBV and Vapor Bomb both sell pre-mixed flavoring. Vapor Bomb has a flavoring called Cinna-bomb already mixed. MBV has red hots
