what everyone saying is true.. try your flavors first at 5%.. or even lower in some cases (tobacco).

if you have the supplies and the time.. go ahead and mix up about 3 bottles.. 1 with 3% another with 5% another with 10%. make small amounts at first because remember this is just for testing so make small batches.

i suggest juicy peach from TFA... its a good flavor.. a good peach flavor.. i find it to be way better than TFA's regular peach..

or you can try to mix the peach that you found that smells just like what your looking for and mix it with a stronger peach to get that right flavor your looking for.. you want a sweeter peach vape.? add a little EM... you want a creamier peachy taste.. try adding some whipped cream, sweet cream, bavarian cream even ... want a little sour ripeness to it??.. add some Sour from TFA..

yes, lemon juice might help you a little.. just add a drop to your juice though because it could mess up what your actually going for if your not careful.

too much flavoring will make it seem like theres no flavoring at all to some people.. but some people will add almost 25% flavoring and swear its perfect... its all up to you you have to keep at it and never ever stop... even when you nailed it... keep experimenting. See what else you can come up with.

(HINT).... splash a about .5 of menthol in your juicy peach mix... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm lol

I also was doing the same thing at first, Way to much flavoring. Now what I do is start with 5%...if it needs more I go up to 8% and so on. And yes time will only tell, I have some juice from when I first started DIY that are sitting on my desk for weeks, picked up a bottle and filled my tank and damn thats tasted good......this was one of my reject bottles. Some of the other bottled that were over flavored, I just made up a bottle of 50/50 VG/PG and added about 5% and it was vapeable.

One more thing, I find juices taste different in each of my MODS. never two alike

this is also true sometimes.. my double ry4 tastes different on my vamo then it does on my provari... i like both but still different..

bckane... do i know you?? your in miramar, and your username sounds familiar... ( i miss Miami)


what vchick said is also a good recommendation.. if your into peach tea... throw a little green tea in there... but be careful because too much green tea is overwhelming.. at least for me it is..

Update... I couldn't stand it, so when I got home from work last night (at 11pm) I did some mixing. I made four 3ml bottles... 3% or 5% and different mixtures.. and kept very good notes. I tried them all as soon as I mixed them and pretty much ick. I need to get some vanilla... which means waiting another week until it gets here. In the meantime, I think I'll play around with some of the other fruits I have and see what I can come up with.

Try the fruits alone and in combo.. maybe add a little sweetener. That way, you can do without Vanilla for a while.
Maybe add some cinnamon for punch

I am a total Peach Freak and could not make any of the flavors work for me until I ordered the Peaches and Cream from Capella. I have them all and for me this is by far the best. Of course taste is subjective so if you really love your Peach then I would encourage you to try them all.

Is it the peaches and cream?? The only other peach I see is the peach with stevia for water.

Edit: DUH. Nevermind. I just read your post again :oops:

You may be using way too much flavoring. Too much can actually take the taste away. Make a small 5% batch, and try that. Move up only 1% at a time.

I got into this DIY thing because I can't order my favorite flavor fast enough. All I want is a straight-up peach. I've had a few successes.. a good cranberry lemonade, a decent orange, a very good pomagranate, but I cannot figure out the peach!!! I got a big bottle of peach from Flavor West and it's not the peach I'm looking for. So today I got FlavourArt peach and white peach from Liberty Flights. They smell exactly like what I'm looking for! Finally, I thought! This peach is gonna be perfect!!!

NOT!

I always use the calculator, I started at 70/30, 10% flavor. Blech! No peach flavor at all. As a matter of fact, no flavor of any kind. So added a few more drops. Nothing. Ended up at 20% flavor and still nothing. A few drops of sweetener, nadah. What in the world am I doing wrong? I thought fruits were usually good without steeping. And I'm not convinced that steeping is going to help the flavorless mess I've got going. Am I missing something here?? I refuse to give up, but frankly it's pretty disappointing. Can any of you guys help me out here???

So you didn't let them steep at all?? Silly gurllll :)

Boil some water in the micro, let it cool for a sec, and drop your test batches in, (they're in glass, right...right?) and let them sit until the water cools. Shake them up, them PUT THEM AWAY, at least overnight.

Probably. I really hope your peach works out for you. That was the hardest one for me. I can never get exactly what I'm looking for. Adding a drop of AAA Magic Mask and a drop of Koolada helped a bit.

Pinapple, comes out great. I just whipped up 60 mls of that and 30 mls of lemon today.

If you ever hit on perfection with peach, let me know!
