I have only been at this DIY thing for a week, but I can't seem to get it right. I have tried about 20 different flavors and the only ones I seem to like are the fruit flavors, but even when I add up to 20% flavor, I can barely taste them, I only get a little aftertaste in my mouth after a good puff. I have played around with PG/VG, started out with 80/20 and have gone as far as 50/50, I can't go 100% VG because my nic is in PG. Is this common for fruit flavors? I am using perfume apprentice, and at 10% alot of the other flavors came through great, they just weren't for me. I have tried premixed juices from various vendors, not any fruit flavors, mostly tobacco. I find some of them almost too powerful, like a french vanilla I tried, you can taste it before you even inhale because it is so strong, and you taste it the whole way down, not just the aftertaste. What am I doing wrong that I can't recreate this with fruit? Would Loranns, Flavour art, or capellas be more concentrated? Would 100% VG help? I would really like to stick with the DIY if I can make it work for me.
) and that was a week ago. I tried most of them the first day and found which was my favorite, tweaked it a little, and mixed up a big batch. I have been vaping that for a week now, the bottle is empty and I am getting sick of it and want something new. So I went back to my other 19 flavors this morning, they have been steeping for a week, and I still find them all very weak. I didn't do a hot water bath or anything, just stored them in a cool dark place. They all started at 10% but I bumped up some of the weaker ones that I liked to 20% this morning and still not to par. I will try that hot water bath, how long do you soak them for? Letting them sit for a week isn't really an option as I don't have anything else to vape, but will try to be more prepared in the future! Thanks for all the tips everyone.
