It isn't steeped enough yet, but so far I can say that the above mix isn't too bad, and what's bad about it probably isn't the M-type. What's "bad" about it right now is that it is far too strong, resembles the highest strengths of some cigarettes (Davidoff Original, Rothmans - that type), which I've always found too harsh. It is also a little dry.
Now, this is only tested in a normal resistance carto, and as I said not finished steeping. But I might have to dilute my own extract even further (iirc this is at 30% and then mixed down to half, so 15%), this resembles "too strong ciggies old geezers smoke" a bit too much. A bit of EM might also be good.
But the problem isn't the M-type, in these small amounts (3 drops to 10ml) its more of a scent than a taste, a rather pleasant sweet-ish nutty scent.
I think this flavouring must be treated more like a super-concentrate than a "normal" flavouring (whatever that is*) - 1-2 drops per 5 ml.
I don't really get this perfumy-soapy taste you are talking about - some hours ago, when it was even younger, and less absorbed in the carto, I did get a little hint of something that I've tasted/smelled in some commercial liquids, that might by some stretch be associated with perfume - but NOT the particular "soapy", "herbal bubblebath" note that I seem to be sensitive to.
I also added some of the above mix to an eGo-T tank that had about half left of some of my previous much weaker and more diluted extract, a bit of Hangsen Ddoff no nic and some unflavoured (talk about undisciplined mixing!), and that was actually really good.
* The only things so far I've liked at more than 1 or 2 % (or a total flavouring of maybe 5%) are my own extractions. Either this is because I have mostly only tried FA tobaccos and these Polish flavourings which are probably made to resemble them in strength, or it is because I am just weird. I have some Hangsen concentrates in the mail right now, it will be interesting to see how those behave.
Addendum: I couldn't resist messing some more with my new carto, so when I topped it up I added a bit of my first extremely weak and very diluted extraction (as well as the extract+ M-type juice), and now I am getting some definite twinges of vanilla from it. It is of course very hard to say whether this is from a) just the effect of diluting it, and if so from my second extract or from the M-type, or b) from the weak extract nr 1. My guess would be on a), and probably the M-type rather than my extract.
It still needs some sweetness and smoothness, but it's surprisingly good and satisfying already.
