Peppery TH in DIY Juice

[MikeTay9779]

This has probably been addressed, but I cannot find a suitable answer specific to my situation. I am new to vaping and have just started to DIY my own juice. I use known recipes from friends and most turn out delicious with little to no TH at all. I mix everything with 60PG/40VG and 6%Nic (Nic is 100%PG and 48mg) as a base for all my juices. The problem is that some flavors that I make turn out with a peppery TH that sends me into coughing fits. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Nic from different places will taste different. Also, make sure you shake your nic before you measure it out......the nic can settle and distort your mix.

If other mixes you make with the same NIC are OK then you may be over flavoring. I've noticed that some tobacco flavorings are harsher then others. FIrst I would just formulate the base and sample it before adding flavor. If it needs to be adjusted do so before actually mixing flavors into it. Use my blog to help you through the process.

If after you've adjusted the base to your satisfaction (With NIC) you are getting a peppery harsh vape when adding flavoring look to the flavoring as the issue and reduce the percentage and see if that helps. If not you may need to find an alternative flavoring.

Thanks guys....I've heard that nic tastes different from different sources...I use the nic from RTS Vapes...@Danny...I appreciate your insight and I will look into the flavor percentages...I think it is the chocolate that is making my throat like that or maybe the peppermint...I will take a look at your info...again thank you.

You could be sensitive to certain flavorings as well. You might want to start documenting flavors that cause coughing once you rule out the nic. Been there.

Could be from vaping fresh mixes before they steep as well.

I had an issue where one of my flavorings had alcohol in it. I didn't realize this and did the old Shake and Vape on it. after a couple tanks through my TFV4 had a NASTY sore throat and pounding headache. stopped using that juice, drank a lot of water and slept through the night. the next day tried a different juice and was fine. went back to the afore mentions juice and immediately noticed the sore throat was coming back. started looking at the flavorings I had used and sure enough, ALCOHOL! popped the top and let it breathe for 24 hours and then tried it again and it was all better. just had to give the spirits a chance to evaporate off.

Just something you may want to look at.
