I haven't tried mixing peach by itself, but I mix TFA Juicy Peach with coconut, green tea or strawberry. I also have a very yummy Peachberry Champagne recipe (juicy peach, strawberry and champagne). I didn't have a problem mixing peach, but maybe thats because I never tried to mix a straight peach juice. I would recommend mixing different peaches together to see what you get. And don't forget to sweeten your fruits. I was very underwhelmed by virtually every fruit I mixed if it wasn't sweetened. The highest percentage I have ever used of my peach is 12%, and only because I was using it with coconut which is a strong flavor. Less is more, like the other posters have said. Good luck. I'm just starting out myself, and its definitely a learning process. Just my :2c:

Well, I did a few bottles of different peach mixes.. 3%, 5%, some cream, some sweet, a drop of lemon, without the lemon... a bunch of stuff. I quick steeped in my ultrasonic and left em for a couple days. Tried them today and nothing. Nadah. No flavor at all. I even got a couple of new atty's from avid and they perform beautifully, way better than the cheapie atty's I had. I guess I'll wait til I get my capella's flavorings and the TFA should be here this week too. I have had a couple of successes though.. so I guess I won't give up yet!

Don't be discouraged! Remember our taste buds change from day to day.. especially if you haven't been vaping long.
I've been at it 15 months... 15 months today! Wow,,, 15 months without a cig! I'm a little impressed with myself! Anywho.. I'm no quitter. I figure if other people can make yummy juices, I should be able to as well. My problem is I want in-your-face flavor and it's hard to find that middle ground between too little and too much. If I didn't have to work, I'd have a lot more time to play around with this stuff!

In my experience, Peach is not one of those "in your face" kinda flavors in ejuice. Apple, maybe. Strawberry, sometimes. Coffee, absolutely! But Peach and Pear are more subtle types of flavor. Usually it's what you mix them with that supplies the WOW factor and Peach is a backup flavoring.
Also, every once in a while, my taste buds go haywire and say EVERYTHING tastes like HE..double LL. sually lasts a day or two, but I just keep vaping away.

Quick question, when you guys mention making different batches and tasting things.. are you using a new clearomizer each time? Seems like expensive taste testing.. so you're not getting old flavors mixed in.. unless im missing a piece of the puzzle here...???

I just bought two SR510 atomizers from avid vaper. Best thing I ever did. I have a bunch of cheap atty's but they don't hold a candle to these I got from Avid. They're a tiny bit more expensive than your run of the mill, but they're definitely worth it. Avid has a package deal, two atomizers and a drip tip for $20. It's a good deal and the only way to taste test your juices. I am NOT an atomizer fan, I use carto tanks exclusively, but that's no way to taste-test. These atty's are the BOMB!

So you 'drip' to taste test your flavors then? Never tried the dripping method, but if that will make it so I can test, and restest without plowing thru the clearomizers, I'm in!
Junebug.. I have never been of fan of the whole dripping thing. I had lousy luck with it, but I think it was because of the atty's I had. The avid vaper atty's changed all that. I even sat here the other night after work and dripped one of my own mixes.. something I never, ever thought I'd do! The right atty for you makes all the difference. My next purchase is going to be one of those HH357s...

Please please please let us know what your results are when you're done. Im dying to know.

I'm still working on it! I've got a couple more peach flavorings coming today (I hope!). I've tried everything with the peaches that I have.. starting at 3% and working up, mixing with other fruits, lemon juice, quick steep in an ultrasonic.. nothing has worked so far. I'm hoping for better luck today. BTW.. I luv your doggies!!!

Update... I've had a bit of success! Not exactly what I was looking for, but it's not bad. 15ml, 15% FA white peach, 15 drops of french vanilla, 10 drops of TFA juicy peach and 5 drops of sweetener. I did a quick steep in some hot water and it's not half bad! I'm going away for the weekend so I'll put it away for a few days and see how it is next week. In the meantime, I discovered something I think I might like even more than peach... TFA papaya... ohhhhh yummmm! At 15% it's deeeelish! I also mixed up some toffee/peanut butter/cream/chocolate but I'm going to let that one sit for quite a while.. it's smells pretty good though. So I haven't hit upon the exact peach I'm looking for, but I'm getting close! One thing I've noticed,, it takes way more of the FA flavors I got from Liberty Flights than any of the other flavorings I have. Sheesh, this would be easier if they were all about the same concentration! I'll be right back at it when I get home Sunday night.
