first success but I have a qouestion

[Hossam]

My first success is DIY mango flavor after a complete failure and frustration with too many fruit flavors and hundreds of trails.

Surprisingly I got perfect taste ( by mean of perfect) without steeping, just added 7% flavor with 60/40 PG and VG, check well then I vaped.

Please I need advice, which flavors could be vaped just after preparation and the normal steeping period for fruit flavors. I normally steep for 2 days with cap open.

Sounds okay for fruit flavors. You don't have to open the cap unless there's alcohol in your mix. If it taste good to you then two days is enough. If it tastes chemically or soapy let it steep for a couple of more days.

Thanks boomerdude, some times I get chemical taste, some times soapy taste specially with watermelon and most of the time no taste at all.

I usually add 5 to 7% flavors because I read that high percentage will fade the taste but I think this percentage is not enough, I don't what is common percentage for fruit flavors.

Please any advice.

It depends on the maker of the juice. Lorans usually requires more and Hangsens just a little. If your mixing flavors I wouldn't go beyond 20% total flavoring. There is a side app in the menu of the e-juice me up calculator that gives you mls and drp amounts.

If your using TFA flavors I would keep them at 5%. After steeping a few days to let the flavor molecules combine give it a taste. You can always add more flavoring until your recipe is to your satisfaction.

Thanks boomerdude very much but I'm newbie and I don't know what is TFA flavors. Can you tell me please.

Also after steeping if the taste is not strong and I should add more flavors shall I steep again or add more flavor and test the liquid

Thanks for you support

Once your juice is steeped you can add more flavor and give it a shake. Then vape away. You should really use accurate measurements and use a juice calculator.
