little help pls

[cyberous]

hi guys,

i am trying to diy my own juice. i tried vanilla flavour.but when i just finish mixing the juice, it has a very heacy vanilla smell. but after a few days, the vanilla taste is gone. i am using 20% of the flavouring. can you all advise me on what to do? thanks

 

[Iffy]

Which flav manufacturer? Ya may have used too much at 20%. I did that early on in my DIY venture!

 

[AzPlumber]

Yep, sounds like too much just as iffy said. Let us know what you are using

Honestly, Vanilla is a hard mix to perfect (you wouldnt think so, but I have found it is). Keep playing around with adding different things to your vanilla. Id help more, but Im actually still trying to perfect mine and havnt found that "Perfect" extra ingredient(s) yet.

lol. guys, it is from my country a local supplier who is famous in flavouring. but i guess it is still not as strong as us flavouring.

I haven't found vanilla to be especially hard to work with, but 20% is a LOT, unless you are using Capella's products. And even then it might be too much.

The OP doesn't specify the exact product, but FWIW I've been using TPA French Vanilla at around 5% (along with other flavors).

 

[martinc]

Yup,start at 5% and work your way up from there.

If you got plenty,try 3 small 3-5ml batch at 5/10/15% and see how it goes.

Starting low let you add more without scrapping it.

You could also add some vg/pg to your 20% mix and see where it brings you.

The strength of your flavoring might not be the issue. What we are trying to say is, adding too much flavoring can actually have the same effect as not enough. Starting out at 5% (except tobaccos) and work your way up is the best approach.

The best way for testing multiple flavors is dripping into an atty and flush with pg or vg between flavors.

You can test with a nicotine base but I usually do test batches without nicotine cause nic base is more expensive to test with, especially if you end up scrapping it. I usually do 3ml test batches.

But doesn't the nic change the flavor?

You really need to add a stabilizer to your mixes.

A stabilizer is some form of natural acid. Either Lemon juice, Malic Acid, Tartaric Acid or Vinegar.

Use Malic or Tartaric Acid as a 20% solution.

Use 2 drops of any of the acids per 5ml of mix. This will stabilize your mix, it will last longer holding its flavor and won't change color as fast.

Good luck,

Pete

So Pete (I used to live in Pinellas Cty too. Largo/Seminole area), I have problems when making my juice of it just not tasting right. Like it's missing an ingredient that will smooth the flavor and make it all come together. I swear there is some secret additive that some of the best e-juice suppliers (like TastyVapor and Sweet-Vapes) use. Do you think adding a stabilizer to it may help me solve that problem?

What are you trying to mix and I'll try and help you out?
