Month 4, 1st DIY

[sd3614]

That did not take long. Really it has been 3 true months off the cigs. Anyway Wizard labs, thank you. I don't even have enough time to mess with everything I want to try. I am vaping my 1st mix and it is pretty darn good at 10% NIC, 65VG/35PG.

I can say I have found some good vendors that I will still buy from because they don't over charge too much but I can see right now. This is the ticket. Now, let me screw up some batches and I will cry about it.

The questions.

#1 If I can get some advice on tobacco blend mixes that are a touch on the sweet side I pretty much purchased all the ones TFA/WL sold. Enough to experiment with. I can say I like that sweeter taste though I do like some Holy Grail from VaporBeast which IMO is pretty potent.

#2 I feel I over used the flavoring and is it true if I cut the flavoring in half and replace with PG that the PG will likely carry the flavor well that I used. Probably a newbie thing, all 35% PG was a mix of flavors and that can still get pricey. It is good though.

Question #1 has already been answered in the previous post so moving on to question #2.

Not really true. Higher VG is a thicker carrier as well as a poorer desolver of flavor molecules so flavoring takes longer to disburse through it so longer steeping times are normally required. PG is a better flavor carrier and works better at desolving flavor and being it's a thinner carrier flavor distributes much faster thus does not require as log a steep time as VG . With the proper steeping time both carriers will produce the same flavor level results. VG based vapes tend to have a slight sweetness to them where PG based vapes are less sweet but give a better throat hit.

To much flavoring can actually mute flavor or cause a strong chemical taste so that also is a consideration. So it's always best to start low and work your way up.
