Everything Tastes Too Sweet

[SharonCC]

I've just begun DIYing...and have mixed a couple of small batches. I've just mixed with 5% flavour, and everything tastes too sweet...I'm not sure sweet is the right word, maybe "cloying"....
I've used tobacco(lemony undertaste), Milk Choc, RY4, Caramel Candy, and Gingerbread. It's making me a little nauseated...and I keep changing flavours...
Any suggestions as to what I can do?

Maybe it would help if you listed Exactly what your recipes are and what brands of ingredients you are using?

Also have you been happy with pre-mixed juice and it's just the DIY liquids causing this? Are you using a lot of VG or is it mainly PG?

Premixed...I've had some that I like and some that I don't. I do find some of it cloying as well.

I have PG and Vg from evapers.com, and my flavourings are Perfumer's Apprentice...

I use a calculator to determine recipe. With 5% flavour, it ends up being 65% PG, 30% VG, and 5% flavour....

I have to agree. I've found out that most flavors, even for regular cigs are too sweet, vanilla like.

I have read of, but not used, something called Bitter Wizard that might be what you need - supposedly tones things down a notch or three.

Thanks! I'll order some with my next order...
