Help Fixing American Tobacco Batch Anyone?

[FreeTimeNow]

I made a 30 mil batch of 18%nic, 50/50 PG/VG and 6% Flavor West American tobacco after my wife said she thought the 10mil batch was good. So, being excited my DIYing was going so successful I made a 10 mil batch of 6% French Pipe tobacco she LOVES, and now says the FW is "harsh".
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix the "harsh" batch. I have mixed nut, hazelnut, and Anise flavors on hand as well as the French Pipe. Should I think of adding more flavors, just more PG or is it not fixable.

Thanks

A larger batch may take longer to steep than a small batch. Let it sit another week and try again. (Assuming you gave it at least a week already)

Could be too much flavoring if it was good and then turned harsh, take 15ml of your batch and add 5ml of vg/pg+nic to dilute the flavoring, if it works just cut back appx. 2% on flavoring for next batch.

You could also add .5-1% of Flavor Art MTS Vape Wizard, this works with some tobaccos but not all.

Flavor West recommends 10% starting % on most of their flavors, however I have found that 4-5% works well especially with their tobaccos.

I'm confused. First you said she liked the FW american then tried the french pipe and now says the FW american is harsh. So I gather she is saying the FW now seems harsh in comparison to the pipe? If that's the case and it's fully steeped then dilute it by adding 15% VG and see if she likes it. Pipe is a milder vape then the american so this may help.

diluting it will do 2 things.

1. reduce the flavor intencity
2. Reduce the NIC content which will in turn reduce the throat hit.

I say add VG because it is milder and less harsh on the throat then PG. So adding VG will bring the bace ratio to approx. 70vg/30pg.

Yes Danny, harsh in comparison to the French Pipe. Great tips, I will try it. Also today I added 1% Hazelnut to the mix and she just tried it and says its a lot better. I mixed up a 60mil batch of French Pipe and a 20mil batch so hopefully I'll be able to let the 60mil batch steep so we can see what the difference is.
