Seem like a silly problem considering the amount I vape, but here goes, I have been mixing my own juices for close to 8 months now. Lots of failure and sporadic success but it is working for me and keeping me off of analogs. I mix all my juices 5ml at a time and when I have a some success I scale the mix to a larger 30ml or 50ml if i really enjoy it. my problem is whenever I scale the mix up the flavor profile completely changes and is no where near as good as the 5ml especially after a day or two. I use both glass and plastic bottle and the end result is the same. I only use TFA flavors and go through about 1.5 to 2ml a day.
For example a basic Strawberry I use for dripping
5 ml 50/50 @ 6mg - 1.23ml pg, 2.5ml VG, .62ml nic
TFA ripe Strawberry .4ml 8%
menth - .15 3% - (diluted with pg 3:1)
EM - .05 1% - (diluted from a 10% pg with more pg 3:1)
sour - .05 1%
Heated in microwave for 3 seconds in a glass container and then frothed for up to 1 minute with a milk frother, then sits over night cap off in a closet. Morning vape is excellent and the 5 mil normally lasts me 2-3 days staying flavorful for the three days.
Now the only difference when I scale the mix up using ejuice Me Up calculator, I microwave the 30ml for 7 seconds and 10 seconds for the 50ml mix and froth a bit longer since there is more of it let it sit overnight. Its a great vape for one full day then over night the flavor changes gets muted but a slight sweetness stays. I just find it odd that the flavor profile would change so much scaling the mix up. It definitely would be nice to have a 15 day supply vs a 2.5 days supply especially with my schedule. I always keep my ejuice in a drawer and none of my mixes are complex flavors (tobacco's). I just used this strawberry as my example due to its simplicity however this happens to all my mixed flavors. 8% is the max flavor I use for a single flavor in a multi flavor mix . Except for lemon I use 10% when making a lemon ice or aid or iceaid
30ml scaled up
30 ml 50/50 @ 6mg - 7.35ml pg, 15ml VG, 3.75ml nic
TFA ripe Strawberry 2.4ml 8%
menth - 0.9 3% - (diluted 3:1)
EM - 0.3 1% - (diluted from a 10% pg 3:1)
sour - 0.3 1%
Sorry for the longish post but thanks if ya made it this far any thoughts or different approaches would be greatly appreciated.
