In the past I've read that certain additives can act as preservatives for juice. Specifically vinegar (white or apple cider) and citric acid (lemon juice). If not actual preservatives, flavor boosters I guess.

It may be worth it to look into some of the commercial flavor enhancers as well. Vape Wizard, Magic Mask, Bitter Wizard, Sour, etc...

I've never tried any of the above. But I might take a stab at it as my RY4-ish ADV peaks at about 2 weeks and as you've noted, declines around week 6. I'm vaping some November 1st as I type...

Ya, It seems I've got a ton more research to do on this. I'm still new at the DIY game. Strange, I was able to pick up rebuilding, and vaping in general, real fast. Went from cig-a-likes to RTA's in under 6 months and never looked back. This DIY juice thing is harder to master than anything I've done (vape related) so far.

I have a mix that used to be mt ADV, but I found a few that are better and moved on. I left a bottle to steep for about 2 months and came back to it and found it had almost zero flavor. I read that too much flavor can be worse than no flavor at all, so I mixed up a batch and another that was 25% weaker and let them both sit for 2 months. The weaker one kept it's flavor and the full strength one was very bland. You might try a similar experiment and see what happens.

You read my mind Hans. I was thinking about taking half a batch of Unicorn milk I just made and diluting one of them by 25% with VG/PG to see if it retains the flavor better.
