Yes! There was a small improvement today. I'm vaping it with 25% NET 50/50 PG/VG mixture.
I would expect it to continue to improve daily for at least a week but especially over the first few days. And that mix sounds fine [since we both read anything over 15% or so is a waste]. I just did a 50/50 NET mix because I knew the flavor was going to be light at first.
The stronger and broader aroma is in the extract, not the mix.
Of course, the NET is concentrated. I was just asking to make sure I was understanding you.
When I sniff the extract bottle, besides being more intense, it feels as if it has more nuances with the ashtray and stuff compared to the mixed juice.. Maybe I can't detect them in the diluted mix as well... Or the juice needs more steeping due to dilution and let flavor molecules bind, bond , diffuse or whatever magic they do
The diluted mix will always smell muted compared to the concentrated extract. But it should be a tasty vape and all those nuances you can smell in the extract should come out in the vape.
I don't have a dripper yet. I might get one too. I also read that people only use 10-20% NET extract. I think that'll be another experiment once I hone in the flavors
Yeah, that's why I made small amounts of mixed juice while testing. Didn't mix more than I'd vape that day, so I could make a new batch the next day with the newly-improved NET.

Didn't make 30ml bottles until a week or two passed and I could tell it was as mature as it was going to get.
A dripper is a really handy thing to have. And they aren't expensive. I got my IGO L clone from FT for $7. But I'd recommend one that has holes in the posts so you just pass the legs through and tighten the screws down. On mine you have to wind the legs around the posts, then tighten the screws, and it's a bit of a hassle. But what I like about the IGO is it has a deep well for holding juice, so you can put like 15 drops in it, which means less dripping. Something to consider when looking....
