Increasing Flavors when increasing VG?

[Samuray]

Quick question guys. When DIYing and you got the perfect blend at 50/50 but Say you want more clouds and want to go 20/80. Do you increase the flavors to compensate for the decrease in PG?

Max VG/ 100% VG usually is less flavor. When I buy 100% VG from my local B&M I have them spike it with extra flavor.

I have Max VG from Adirondack Vapor (Cascade) and 70VG/30PG (Cascade) and there is a pretty big flavor difference.

So yea, I would say add some more flavors.

The conventional wisdom is that PG is a better flavor carrier and that as one decreases it's ratio to VG, more flavoring is required to arrive at a juice that tastes the same.

I personally would make a small tester first. Your taste buds may not notice any diminished flavors and if they do. . . you can adjust for the final mix. If you are one that likes throat hit and notice less with the new percentages, I find adding some Everclear (Pure Grain Alcohol) or flavored Vodka to the mix helps. Just my ¢3 (inflation). Good luck to you and happy mixing.

I would suggest trying it before you add more flavoring, as I use vg, vg based nic and flavorings and have never increased my flavoring, if anything the longer I vape the more I end to decrease my flavorings

Yes, don't add too much flavor cuz it's hard to adjust it down.

If they are custards they may mute some but if they are fruity or dessert/candy flavors they will still come through nice.

I'm a max VG user and usually vape like 10/90 so my flavors combined can only equal 10 percent total so if I have 3 flavors in recipe and one is a sweeter I can cut back on the sweeter some because the VG is somewhat sweet by nature so I can run that at 2% which leaves 8 % to be divided between the remaining flavors as I see fit usually 5%of the fruit and 3% of vanilla or cheesecake or whatever it is and it usually works out good.
