Dilute it with a small amount of VG. That will tone down the flavors, and you shouldn't need to add very much.
(And juice with too-strong flavoring? What is it?)

+1 with twgbonehead.... Pick up a small bottle of VG (pharmacy section of Walmart, Meijer, etc.)
Realize that if you dilute, you will also dilute the nicotine (if any) as well as the flavors. You might try 1 part plain VG and 9 parts original to "smooth" it out without distracting too much. If still too much, then go 2:8. I wouldn't jump all the way to 50/50 just yet....

There's two of them, On cloud Custard and Sweet Complexity from Vape Wild. I hadn't tried either. I read the good reviews about it and ordered 60 ml of each with extra flavoring. Way too strong, leaves a strong taste in my mouth.
Vegetable Glycerine (Or just "Glycerine".) You can get it at many drug stores, usually in the skin-care section. Make sure it says "Glycerine USP". (Or Glycerin, or Glycerol, all the same thing).
Something like this:
CVS Pure Glycerin USP - CVS.com

I keep a 100ml bottle of VG+10%water for general purpose uses like:
- diluting
- priming a fresh wick
- rinsing a tank
as for how much to dilute: the solution is to get yourself an rda; using the rda as your test base you'll figure out how much dilution you need by trial and error.
Well, first of all, you're not smoking it.
And glycerin is used in many food products, it's just not that common for home recipes.
By the way, RDA ia rebuildable dripping atomizer (or "dripper").

If you want to keep it simple and like the nic level you have, buying some unflavored at the same nic level will make it easy to mix it down. Having some unflavored around is also handy to vape by itself if your throat is irritated. I would suggest just doing a small test batch at a time until you find the flavoring level you like. If you use a tank, you can just add a few drops at a time to a tankful to test it out.
One other thing is that these liquids might change in flavor over time quite a bit, so you might not want to mix too much down for the first week or two. Some get stronger while some smooth out.
Good luck finding your sweet spot!

I've had a rough time getting this vaping going. I don't know anyone who vapes so it's been hit or miss. I have a basket of liquids and tanks that are useless. Idk if most ppl go thru all this. Thanks for the help. I'll give it one more try.
VG is also used in baking. And if you eat white sliced bread its in there too (it's what keeps it soft for longer). You've been exposed to Pg and VG your whole life.
An rda is a Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer.
You are probably using a tank, or maybe you are using a carto, and whichever it is, it contains a small atomizer coil which is where all the action takes place;
If you get an rda like the one in the pic, you can see what is going on, wrap your own coil, put your own wick;
It's like having a bicycle available in case your car is giving trouble.
Anyway for what you were talking about, it is also convenient to use for testing liquids; if you dilute some liquid you can easily try some on an rda to see how it tastes before putting it into the tank.
Here is the calculator I use. Hope it helps.

Good luck to you.

Yes most go through this. And I agree about the Vape Wild flavors, way too strong.
I keep a big bottle of unflavored around and just dilute it that way. But over time
I've learned my flavor profile and only buy around that unless it's small bottles
to test. I've had so many bottles get thrown away or vaped forward to someone else
from not sticking to my flavor profile. You'll learn what types you like and don't
like over time, but try not to rely too much on reviews in just one particular thread
about a company, for several reasons. And like anything else, what one person
likes you may not like.
