I've got a dozen DIY juices on the go, some are better than others, and I've been keeping extensive notes on aroma, steep time, taste after a week etc.
Some nights a juice can taste really good, and others, sometimes disappointing. For example a custard I made was really quite good the first time I tried dripping it after a week, but tonight 12 days in it was really a let down, dripped and both in my Cleito with fresh coils and cotton etc..
I have noticed that you need to let the cotton bed in, and wattage will have a huge impact on flavour, as well as the conditions of the coils and cotton, but what other factors will have a major impact on flavour other than steeping time? I like very airy DTL vapes, but I've noticed most of the taste I get is at the front top of the roof of my mouth. Could my vaping technique be playing a part here?
So what testing strategies do folks use, setting a base standard so they can gauge how good a juice is over time?
