What do people think about mixing flavours?
For example...I bought a high strength Nicotine juice. Started vaping it and found it was way too strong for me. So I've been half filling my tank with the nicotine juice (chocolate flavour) and filling the other half with zero nicotine juice (cappuccino flavour). It's...ok...but I feel like I've lost the "overall" flavour if people know what I mean...?

I mix flavors all the time. One of my favorite combos is Backwoods Brew Malty Toffee with Backwoods Brew Green Apple. You will find that one or the other flavor will be less than full strength but still can come up with some good flavors.

Fo safety, always be aware of your nic strength. I buy all 18mg so mixing and matching doesn't change nic levels for me. A simple example (it's pretty normal concentration math) is something like 50% 24mg + 50% 0mg = 12mg. Going down is less of an issue but if you were normally shooting for 12 mg and added 36mg you would end up above where you'd want to be. (e.g. 50% 12mg + 50% 36mg = 24mg)

Flavoring of e-liquid is a fine art... Sometimes the result of mixing flavors is different than expected.

For instance Watermelon + Kiwi in the right ratio to me tastes exactly like watermelon bubalicious gum... I get no hint of kiwi, but the unmistakable taste of bubble gum... Even though there is none in the mix.

The DIY e-liquid forum can probably point you in the right direction.

Hi - experimenting with flavors is one of the fun/frustrating thing about vaping. I'm lazy about cleaning out tanks, so I tend to "stack' flavors on top of each other; the results have been from good to gag. Nicotine level does have an affect on flavors, but not all of them in my experience. I've had the same flavor in 8mg, 12mg and 18mg, and couldn't taste the difference. And some flavors may not sit well with you for no discernible reason. I have a 12mg one that smells yummy, has steeped for a couple of weeks, and yet is burning the back of my throat no matter what the temperature. Sigh. Get thee to a dark cabinet!

I have 8 small bottles of Lorran flavorings that I use to augment my tobacco juices. Right now, I'm vaping a Vivi Nova tank with Dekang Tobacco, a bland tobacco vape-a-like that is a good base for adding flavors. I added a drop of Lorran Cotton Candy and a drop of Lorran Key Lime to jazz it up a little. The result is a good Key Lime vape with a hint of sweetness from the Cotton Candy flavor.

I also have caramel, butternut, chocolate, and a few others that I use from Lorran.
