my dyi juice tastes like boo boo.

[bread]

hi guys,

i've been dyi'ing since the summer. i have a ton of different flavors, but they all pale in comparison to store bought juice.

is there some secret i'm missing?
i typically don't steep, i just shake and vape.

would steeping help?

heres the recipe that i make almost exclusively.

2.0ml butter scotch
1.5ml pecan
1.0ml French Vanilla
0.5ml banana cream
0.5ml M Type tobacco
0.25ml sweetener

most of the time it turns out to taste like just pg/vg. nothing to write home about.
other times its great.... expect for when i drip it.

i'd like a really flavorful recipe for dripping.

thanks in advance.

Creams and tobaccos (especially) require steeping.

Also, I've found that butterscotch and nuts need some steep time, also.

If I were making the above recipe, I'd let it steep a month before passing final judgement because of the cream and tobacco.

I would test vape it at 2 weeks, just 'cause!

EDIT: I see the flavor amounts, but how much PG/VG/Nic are you adding?

60/40 pg vg

Let me re-ask Johntodd's question: What is the TOTAL AMOUNT of PG/VG you add, and what are the percentages of your flavorings to the overall amount? With what little info you've given us, you could either be under-flavoring OR over-flavoring, depending on your batch size.

Batch size is 30ml. I use a calculator to get exact measurements. I'll post those when I get near my laptop.

my dyi juice tastes like boo boo.

I would rather have them taste like boo boo then sh_ _ like mine always taste like.

Well six flavors in one juice is a bit complex to start out with. Flavors can tend to walk on each other and fight. I found it best to start out with a combination of no more than two, and go from there, tasting the effect of what was added in steps.

What brand of flavouring are you using?
Do your dilutants taste good, standalone?
20% flavour is a bit high...Perhaps cut the ratios in half and see how it changes the final product.

Good luck

I would definitely let it steep at least two weeks. You should see a difference then.

Yeah , the overwhelming majority of juice will taste much better after a long steep .

Agree with everyone
all those flavors you are using require steeping. the only flavors I shake & Vape are straight up fruit flavors

thanks guys. i'll try letting it steep.

and i'll also try some of those receipes.

Early on I had some flavors that cancelled each other out, leaving me with bottles of blah. Started DIY in August and have pretty much given up on creating or following specific recipes from basic flavors (too hit or miss) and now only buy more complex flavors and vape them on their own, or mildly mixed. Apple Pie + Cinnamon Roll is my go-to drip, and Lemon Meringue Pie is my current tank favorite.

Whose lemon meringue pie do you use?

It's Capella. The coconut creme pie is also very good -- I'd add some almond if I had it because sometimes you feel like a nut.

I have a few Capella. I love lemon meringue pie, I'll have to pick some up. Thanks!
