FA fruit flavor trouble

[louis]

I have several FA fruit flavors that keep coming out bitter. I don't know how much to use & am looking for a little guidance on these flavors.
How much do you use & do you add anything other than the flavor to bring out the flavors.
I like full tasting flavors.

What flavors have you tried and in what percentages?

Coconut-Banana-Black Cherry-Pineapple. These have been used at 8 to 10%. I used that level because of what I had to use that for the Irish Cream & J Rum
& Vanilla T also Oba Oba.

Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.

You might try 5%. I find that problems with a taste are usually because they are too strong, rather than too weak. You might also add a drop or 2 of sweetener per 5ml, or add a smaller amount of another flavor. Maybe 5% of one and 2% of another. Fruit flavors don't usually have to steep for long, but that might help. Feel free to PM me if you think I can help.

I tried a recipe online that added quit a big percentage of Bavarian Creme to pomogranite and a little bit of lemon that came out very well. It's under pomogranite in the search and also had another flavor I didn't have....don't remember

FA flavors don't seem too sweet to me. I always have to add sweetener. I use some EM.

10% may be a bit too much for FA. they are usually very strong.

easy way to fix, try to dilute by half. Oba oba should be good at 10%. I use that to make a fabulous lemon drop candy juice its soo good.

this may help

Thanks to all that have replied so far. As usual the forum folks are the greatest when you need info for anything. I will try all the recommendations & links.
Don't stop as this can be a good thread for us folks having trouble with DIY juice.

I found that using plain VG/PG with something I mix up will be good but then when I make it with nicotine it's completely different. Over flavoring can kill it like others have said. Different brands of flavors such as FlavourArt, Capellas etc.definitely require different percentages. But in any case, after steeping, I either have to dilute with more nic base or plain VG, or if too weak I add a bit more flavor and let it steep some more. When my tastebuds are acting up I vape plain unflavored nic base.
This DIY requires a lot of patience and time LOL. I have to add EM sweetener to lots of my fruit and bakery mixes too. The easiest so far for me have been tobacco flavors. I may just stick to tobaccos and give up dessert and fruit flavors. I'll just eat the real thing when I'm in the mood, instead of trying to make vape flavors LOL
