PA at 30% before it's vapable?

[Kevin Freeheart]

I see a lot of people using different brands, but I generally see the range of PA being around 10-20%. I'm having to use about 30% PA flavoring before the taste of the PG and VG are muted enough not to make the entire batch horrible.

Does anyone else use PA flavors at this high? Is that just my sensitivity to taste or should I consider replacing things (PG/VG and Nic)?

How long do you let your liquid sit before you vape it?

I used to be vehemently in the "steeping is stupid" camp as someone who purchased juice from vendors. Since DIY, I don't even touch them until I see a slight color change. This happens on most liquids overnight but takes a few days on some.

I use TPA flavors almost exclusively and haven't gone above 25% in my juices. I let everything I make sit at least 12 to 24 hours before I try vaping them again. Some of the fruity flavors need to sit for at least 3 days before I consider them vapable. I figure that's how long it would take for me to receive them if I had ordered them.

Same here 2-3 days for a taste and 1-2 weeks to cure. 15-20% max

Wow 30%. 70% of my 80 or so flavors are TPA. I rarely go above 15% and never over 20%. Most single flavor juices are at 10%. I am using 80PG/20VG which does a good job at transmitting flavor while producing good vapor w/ample TH. If your VG is higher it will mute flavors.

What kind of taste do your PG and VG have? Mine have almost no discernible smell to them. My nicotine PG liquid has a very very mild scent.

Most of the PA flavors I've tried are great at around 10%. Which flavors are you using?

You do need to let it sit awhile. I usually mix a small bottle, shake it really good and let it sit for at least an hour. Then I try it. If it's not good, I let it sit for a day or two and try it again before trying to adjust it.

I second grantemsly, what does your PG & VG taste like?

I can't taste mine. Well, they taste just like my atty, at the time, smells before I drip either in. (Use PG to clear out old flavors, so I know when it gets to no taste whatsoever it is ready for trying out another test batch.)

I'd be concerned if I was attempting to overwhelm my flavorless bases with flavor.

I tend to do 15 - 20% total (TA only a couple drops per 10 ml, but that's special). My Vananaberry mix I initially hit 24%, but that was operator error, trying to reach the right relative amounts of the three flavors.
