Lemon juice question (lemon zest steeping)

[Snowball88]

Okay, im tired so sorry for the bad writing. (also swede)

I got some lemon flavored juice bout two weeks ago.
It's citrus-isf and soury but not really good flavor.

I tired yesterday to put some fresh lemon zest in ~15 drops of the juice mentioned.
It soaked for a day, and when first dripping into my SR atty i thought the flavor was much better. But after a little while there was a strange aftertaste. Not very keen of it.

Perhaps it was because of the juice i had dripped before, or i steeped the stuff for too long, or had too much zest vs juice ratio.
Any tips about this? Is it a bad idea, any special things i should do to make it work?
I avent read anything about trying to enhance juices with fresh fruits anywhere, so i dunno.

I have some lemon that was a bit too...bright when I first got it. I was also new (still am) at this stuff, so I had some primer in my atomizer, which didn't help. Anyway, tried it again a week later, still too...something, not sure. Bright, kind of metallic-y. Another week and it was a lot better. Added a little sweetener, still better. Will probably add some more, though. I got it from one of the cheaper sites (madvapes or ecblends, forget which), and am wondering if one of the more expensive vendors might have a lemon or lemonade that I might like better, especially since the lemon I got was 5mg, and I'm vaping a lot higher now.

Maybe try sweetening it? Also, wondering where you got it. Let us know if you figure anything else out, because I'm curious. It's very likely that I'll order more of the same, with higher nic, and just add more sweetener than I have so far. I am actually wondering about the quality of the sweetener I have, because I had to put about 5 drops to get to this point, in about 3-4 ml. I've read one drop in 5ml is usually all you want to do, so...

Also, sounds like you are using dripping? Might help to let others know how you are vaping, what gear you are using. Sorry I'm not much help yet.

I don't know much about DIY...
Not sure if this will be of any interest but I found a recipe in the DIY Forum some months ago. It sounded good, so I ordered the flavor and WOW Sucess!!! Really the first DIY of mine that is so delicious and sucessful. The recipe is by Misterkai. I have made it several times now. It is called Spiced Lime !! Nice and sour, but not too sour. Not sweet but not bitter and you only need two favorings!

When you have enough posts, you can go and ask questions in the DIY forum. Have fun .

Hi Snowball,

Lemon zest has a lot of oil and that can build up and burn on your atomizer, eventually clogging it. Did you try cleaning your atty? Personally, I would do more research on vaporizing lemon oil in terms of safety, just to be sure. Good luck, it's hard finding good juice!

It's regular Lemon at 24mg from ENjuice.
The setup should'nt matter much, right now i either drip in a 510 atomizer or a carto on a 650 eGo battery.

The questions just about enhancing the lemon flavor with some zest, if i should do something special.. like let it steep for loong or just a few hours, heat it or something i dunno
Would be cool if i got it to work, but too much work to bother. I'l just find lemon flavor i like somewhere else
Thanks for the respone!
