Hello all. Last night I ventured into real DIY for the first time. I ordered some VG, 36mg PG as my nic base and a couple of lorann flavors to start with. The flavors I started with are the naturals banana, naturals cherry, and the super strength peach. For those that aren't familiar with the naturals line over at loranns they are VG based all natural flavors but it does say they are only half the strength of the regular flavors they offer but I figured they are natural and VG based sounds perfect for vaping right?
Going in I knew that I liked VG based liquids, usually 80/20vg/pg, using 20% 36mg PG that puts my nic to around 7mg/ml which is fine with me. I started out using 20% flavoring with all of them and the peach is awesome at this mix ratio, in fact its one of the best juices I've ever had, I will keep trying it as it steeps but it tastes pretty good right after mixing and I will be ordering a 5oz bottle of that from loranns soon.
The banana and cherry have little flavor though. I started at 20%-no flavor, 40%-no flavor, then I then I vaped it straight out of the bottle (remember its VG based and as little to no alcohol and all natural ingredients) and there is a little flavor...the banana is more of a sweetness with just a touch of banana flavor the cherry is about the same. I'm not sure if its just the VG that tastes sweet or the flavors. Keep in mind I'm well aware that the flavors can and will change as it steeps so I'm going to mix up some 5ml bottles of both of them and just use the flavoring as my VG and add 1ml of my 36mg PG to get a 80/20 7mg mix and I will try it as it steeps and keep everyone posted. I want these naturals to work and even if I have to use 100% flavoring as my VG its worth it. They both smell awesome and if the cherry tasted the way it smells the hunt for the all elusive "good" cherry flavor would be over for me.
Only time will tell...
