Just Made My First E-Juice! A Basic Maxx Blend

[pearlheartgtr]

It's as basic as basic gets:

70/30 PG/VG
6% FA Maxx Blend
1% Vape Wizard

I only mixed it up about an hour ago and it tastes good! It's got one heck of a TH right now and lots of vapor. The Maxx has some flavors, though pleasant, I can't exactly put my finger on but they're not overpowering or leave an aftertaste.

I'm going to let it sit over night with the cap off, cap it when I get home from work at 5am and let it sit for a bit to steep. I think a little steep will surely bring it all together. But I have some experimenting to do, maybe halve the VW next time.

What I am strongly considering is using the Maxx as an additive for when my macerated tobacco extraction is ready. I am soaking some Vision Hunter tobacco I have left over from my smoking days in 24mg PG nic juice (there's a thread about my nic juice screw up around here somewhere). But as it sits, this little recipe could easily become my all day vape.

Congrats on your first mix.

Maxx is not a very strong tobacco so 6% is within range and shouldn't be contributing to harshness. I doubt the Vape wizard is causing the harshness and is not really nessessary for single tobacco mixes. VW is used to blend multi tobacco mixes so one tobacco don't stand out over the others. If it's still harsh after a weeks steep try mixing at 50pg/50vg. PG or to much NIC are usually what contribute to harshness. Poor quality NIC will also contribute to harshness. So if the nic is discolored (Amber hue) or smells overly strong then I would look into the NIC being used.

yeah you have a highish pg ratio for TH, I stick to 50/50 and have even come from 18mg down to 7.2mg and still get TH on exhale... I been mixing maxx blend at 8%, no vw ..... is nice and strong

I've been vaping BWB Backo for almost 4 years which is 70/30 at 24mg. But after it sat overnight, it has mellowed a lot. I guess it needed some time to meld.

I used a 7:3 Maxx to Menthol mix. Both bought from RTV. The menthol added a slight coolness to the Maxx and reduced the harshness a bit. I draw, swirl exhale and just draw and inhale a lot so the TH is where I get my pleasure at. When I first mixed it, it was way too menthol flavored. But, after about 2 weeks of sitting, it has melded quite nicely. So much so that I may have just found a suitable every day vape. I also bought a Cherry flavored juice from them and it is HARSH! Almost no cherry to it. So, I'll allow it to sit for two weeks and check again.
What is a good way to try to cut the harsh TH out of a juice?

PG usually gives a lot of the TH. Maybe alter the PG/VG ratio to more VG.

Sometimes a tiny bit of EM will help calm the harshness.
