Hello everyone 
New to the forum here, so I'll just jump right in. For Christmas my girlfriend gave me a whole bunch of DIY e-juice supplies from Wizard Labs. Anywho, long story short I put together a couple of juices and unfortunately they each taste bland.
Not only do my juices lack flavor, but they also have a slight chemical taste to them on the exhale. I'll break down what I've done so far:
(All juices I've made thus far have been a 60/40 VG/PG mix and have 0 nicotine content)
1) Watermelon - 15% flavor with only Watermelon by LA.
This one actually tastes better than the next one I'll list, however it still lacks a strong flavor and has a slight hint of the chemical taste that I mentioned earlier.
I've let it steep for one week now, with three separate breathing periods of approximately 8 hours each with about one day between each breathing period.
The flavor has not changed since I first mixed this juice. Perhaps I'm using too much flavor? Perhaps I'm a complete numbskull?
2) Chocolate Strawberries with Marshmallow as sweetener - 20% mix with 10% Strawberry by LA, 5% Marshmallow by Cap and 5% Chocolate by TFA.
This one is extremely bland, with only a hint of strawberry and an even smaller hint of chocolate. However, there is a mildly strong chemical flavor.
This mix has been through the same steeping process as the one above and the smell has gotten better with each passing day. Just not the flavor.
I've followed steeping instructions strictly, only steeping in a dark cool place (a cabinet), and I'm shaking the crap out these mixes at least five to six times daily.
Please help me out here, as this is very demotivating. Also, I'm looking forward to making a new Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble flavor sometime in the next few days, so feel free to give your
.
BTW: for anyone who wants to know, I'm testing these flavors in a Stillare clone rda with a single coil build at around .5 ohms. I use a Cartel copper mod with an Imren 2600mAH 18650 battery (not that it makes a difference?).
