Need help with a base recipe please!?!

[magus7091]

Ok, so here's my issue, everything, and I mean everything I've DIY'd lately has been coming out crappy, mostly lacking in vapor, and TH so any help would be greatly appreciated. My bases of late seem to take a lot of heat to start producing vapor, somewhere in the range of having to hold the button for a good 10 seconds before I start vaping to get any vapor at all on exhale. I've read around and found a lot of recipes (but all seem to assume you're adding flavor to a good base) and other people with the same problems, but I can't find a way to get around my problem. I have no sensitivities or allergies to standard eliquid components, and I have both PG nic juice, and no-nic PG, as well as HUMCO VG. I can't seem to find anywhere with PGA, so I have bought 100 proof vodka. I can easily get most anything else I should try, but what would be a good base recipe for thick vapor?
I try to vape around 18mg if that's needed.

Could you post a recipe you have tried so far w/ exact measurements?

I've tweaked so many times recently that I couldn't begin to tell you any of the recipes but if I could get a base recipe that leaves room for 18% flavor (seems to work well with PA flavors as far as tasting them strongly) I could tweak and adjust to increase vapor from there.

Here's a quick one that produces an amazing amount of vapor that my oldest son really likes.

20% flavor total consisting of PA's Blueberry Extra 80% and PA's Cinnamon Flavor 20% put with a base of 70% PG and 30% VG.

PA's Cinnamon Flavor seems to increase vapor and so does Blueberry, both types, so this one is great for my son who seems to be more addicted to the vapor cloud than anything else. (The amount of vapor does not really concern me as far as my fix goes.)

Sounds like you have a liquid that has a high boiling point and your battery+atomizer isn't producing enough heat. Add some vodka or distilled water to your mix and see if that helps. Start with about 5% of the current volume and work your way up, but probably don't go past 15% if it's not working.

Really appreciate all the replies Luckily jay was able to help me with it last night and I got my base down, it seems I was using too much vg.....
