No taste in my mixes.

[Norrad]

I am having a hell of a time with flavors from TFA. I've been using Watermelon, Strawberry and Blueberry. I've mixed them together with Koolada for Aqua Berry Blast and I've tried mixing alone with different strengths (starting at the recommended strengths) and I'm just not tasting anything. I've mixed and vaped and even allowed them to steep with no success.

Up till today I'm very disappointed with my lack in DIY skills lol. Can anyone offer some advice?

I mixed my own base as 80/20 vg/pg with 3% nic.

What do your your bases taste like when vaped?

That's weird... I haven't mixed yet but I am expecting my first supplies by Friday. You can find some mix recipes with TFA favors here https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/f...cipies-here-please.249287/page-5#post-6529771. I seem to remember reading about flavorless TFA products once before. I noticed that you use high VG, which is good for vapor, but most of the flavor seems to comes rather from PG (see https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/f...tio-for-good-vapor-and-lots-of-flavor.442993/). You may need some PG/VG/flavor ajustements in your mix.

Have mixed at 50/50 also. Only got more of a throat hit that way lol. Damn my luck...

What percent flavoring are your mixes?

What percent flavoring are your mixes?

Watermelon 2.7ml 0gr 9%
Blueberry 2.1ml 0gr 7%
Strawberry 1.2ml 0gr 4%
Koolada 0.6ml 0gr 2%

The Koolada stands out for sure, but thats the only one.

Here is a great TFA flavoring % amount site - they add flavorings as more get taste tested. It can help with how much to try stand alone (no other flavorings added). Also they say whether the flavoring cracks/melts plastic. http://www.v-ecigs.com/tfa-flavor-percentage-recommendations/ Good Luck

Could the Koolada be masking the rest?

Frankly I've never used it anywhere close to 1% let alone as high as 2% and it cools just fine at my micro-percentages.

I mixed up something similar only added a touch of tart instead of the koolada and still no success.
