Mixed my own e juice, have a few questions.

Hi, just mixed my own e juice last night. I mixed VG, VG BASED NIC, AND PG FLAVORING at 20% (flavor extract from vistaejuice.com). The nicotine is 3mg.

I shook it up really well and am letting it sit in a drawer. The site I ordered it from suggested to mix the flavor extract at 20%. It is strawberry kiwi.

There is barely any flavor when I vape it. It smells strong though. Will the flavor be stronger after it steeps for about a week?

You most likely used too much flavoring. If you use too much, it will definitely mute the flavor. I'd start with a 10% flavoring and work from there.

I just added 10% distilled water and there is more flavor, but not much.

20% might be too much. Could thin as stated (approx. 5-10%) and steep mix with the cap on for 2 -3 (fruit typ.) weeks then test.

I would suggest diluting that mix by half with plain 3mg base which will bring the total flavor to 10%.

I'm having the same issue with my first batches as well. Smell nice but no flavour.
