How to avoid "harsh" taste

[jdmaring]

I have dabbled in mixing for a while but only now semi-seriously getting into it. I have made some good mixes for myself and a few for my grandpa. He has been vaping the same coffee from Good Life called 9 to 5 for years. I have made mix 2.5% French Vanilla Cream (TFA) 2.5% Cappuccino (FW) and 1% Sucralose, no nic, 50/50 PG/VG

I didn't think it was harsh, he says it is only very slightly harsh compared with his daily juice. Any suggestion? or flavor suggestions? He likes a mild flavor with little sweetness, knocking the sweetener down as the Vanilla has some sweetness to it.

Thanks.

HI and welcome to ECF.

May I suggest you ask your question in our DIY forum--you'll probably get more replies there. Or in this thread: Random DIY mixing and More

Harshness is really in the eye of the beholder. Maybe you used to much flavoring? Or sweetener? I don't use sweeteners at all and mix very low--but that's just me preference.

Good luck!

Hello and welcome! Do you do DIY yourself? That doesn't sound like too much flavor (but that depends on the brand) Might just need to "steep" awhile (just wait a couple weeks) Your % do not sound very high.
Like @Katya said post this on the DIY forum.

I reposted thanks! I figured person pref would be the most common answer. I've found to personally need a little sweetener, all of these steeped 2+ weeks. What is your usual total percentage of flavoring?

I'm not a DIY expert. I only use FA flavorings and I mix at 1-3%.

@jdmaring, I've learnt from experience that Sucralose is an effective way to kill coils and wicking.

Normally VG is the vapor producer and PG is the flavor carrier and the throat hit. Lowering the PG can reduce the harshness on the throat but with doing this consider upping your flavor percentages to compensate, but remember VG is sweeter.

Did you shake the nicotine before adding it in?
