So... I have been failing miserably at being able to concoct a full body candied flavor using my ecig.

I am following the calculators and advoces to sweetned things up/pop the flavor and just can't get it!!!

Please share your secrets!
For sweetness, I use ethol Maltol. I found flavorings are "base" that is, not sweet to me. Maybe try getting some sweetners?

Ethyl maltol can be used about 1 drop every 5ml for a sweetner. Also get some distilled water for rinsing off everything after mixing. I always have a jug somewhere because i use it after i warsh my atomizers and tanks out with soap and tap water. TFA makes some great flavors and recently I am testing out some inawera flavors which are nice too. I use ejuicemeup. Ejuicemeup helps DIY with ml, % and has other nice tools. Best of luck to you in finding your candy diy liquid, which you will, it just takes trial and error.

@KayP Many thanks on the welcome... everyone here seems to be so welcoming. I like it!
Now... I just may be the real life 'walter white'... it remains to be seen.
Hopefully without the huge explosion though!! :thumb:

I know what you mean, I've caught myself saying "That cook is THE BOMB!". A few times. :)
ejuicemeup works well enough for the purpose. I use it for the percents and add the Ethol Maltol drops or whatever additions to the bottle in the notes.

Just a tip:
I use 5 ml of VG in a test tube or small bottle, add drops to it (which is 1%) and experiment with mixes.
You can taste the result on your tongue after they "steep" a bit.
If I find a mix I like, the drops go into ejuicemeup as a percent.
...Just a method I found that doesn't waste as much and lets me experiment.

If it hasn't been mentioned already, seeing as you say you are only 15 days into vaping, or at least 15 days off the death sticks, your taste buds are going to go through some dramatic changes over the next few months. So what may taste bad or seem flavorless now you may love sometime later and vice versa. In my 10 months since I quit the analogs I've experienced this myself.
