Well I just made a flat tasting 120ml btl of juice today. It was done too fast as I was in a hurry. Mistake # 1. For that size btl anyway. Mistake #2. Being out of two brands of two juices same fruit but of course replacing them thinking it will work anyway. Then mistake # 3. Being ok with adding even more %'s. of flavorings then called for by leaps and bounds and actually thinking all would be different but ok ...... Well I'm new at mixing but I knew better for all 3 mistakes. I do believe I have muted and no help for this ..not bad but no flavor juice... Oh boy!

There is such a thing as too much flavor. I would take 10 ml and put in separate bottle and add a little pg/vg and taste or test it in a tank. See if the flavor comes back. Start small, and you can add up to 50%. If/when you can taste it, then I would make a larger test bottle and if all taste like you want then come back and we will help you figure out how to adjust the nic. I still would not try and do the entire big bottle but only do 30mls at a time and put a note on the 120ml bottle on how much to adjust it.

Let us know.

Welcome and glad you joined. All might not be lost. Could post the exact recipe and I (sure others too) may give you advice how to salvage, if possible.

I made a vanilla custard juice a few months ago and I loved it right. A few months later it sucks. I also made an apple pie recipe recently and hated it initially. 2 months later it tastes great. "Steeping" can make a difference, but not in every case IME.

Some good advice above, and most juice is fixable unless you blatantly ruin with a flavour that doesn't fit. Worcestershire with fruit, pizza with custard, etc. arent gonna be made to taste good!

I learned the hard way to start on the low side of suggestions for flavor percentage. You can add flavor a little at a time to small amounts of juice until you figure out where the sweet spot is for you. Once you hit an over-flavored level the only way to fix it is to dilute with unflavored PG/VG juice.

Play with 5ml samples of a bigger bottle of juice you are trying to fix and determine where the flavor strikes you best. Add unflavored to the smaller 5ml bottles in steps to find out where it becomes vapable. You might find the ballpark percentage that way.

Keep notes so that you will know what you did to each bottle.

I'm vaping unflavored right now out of the two 100ml bottles of unflavored I always create when I mix up a batch of juice. Sometimes, I just prefer unflavored when I get tired of flavors or my taste buds get clobbered by flavors. It's a good way to reset your palette.

You need to tell us exactly what flavors you used and the amounts you used. We also need a description of how you made up the base. It sounds like major over flavoring and some dilution may be needed to save this. But we need to know exactly what you did up to now so we know where we need to start helping you.

Sugar_and_Spice gave a very good recommendation on where to start.

Thank You Everyone for all ur different sugestions to help me. I was actually able to fix it by adding a few flavors that was in it. At a higher ml so that it helped to even out the flavor I had to much of and being a different brand. I had made many 120ies so I knew the recipe ok just ran out and tried to replace. But it came out fine. Thanks Again
