Please help diagnose my mixing

[Nid2510]

Few hours in after it was done it was really good in all aspect. 10 days in the juice turned really harsh, taste still good but TH was really rough for me. No steeping step was taken, just let in sit in a bottle in my basement for 10 days.

kayfun Lite Plus, 1.4 ohm, 9-11 watts on my IPV2.

What should I back off? More VGG?

16.7% Nicotine juice 36 mg (50/50 PG/VG)
10.2% PG
51.7% VG
8% Honey Dew (TFA)
8% Cantaloupe (TFA)
5% Watermelon (TFA)
2 Drops of Sweetener Flavor Concentrate (TFA)

Target: 6 mg
PG/VG-ratio: 40/60
Flavor total: 2.2 ml (21.5%)

You could double the nic,vg and pg which would cut your flavoring in half, alot of times if your juice starts out ok but gets harsh over time it could be too much flavoring.

Too much Flavor!

It could be flavor but I've seen a lot of mixes around those same percentages. Ive had this happen and it had nothing to do with my juice. Make sure you have a good charge on battery and kayfun is wicking correctly

Well it is a bit strange, I love 40/60 blends because they seem to never get harsh. Do you have a shaker? If not, have you been shaking the bottle while it's been sitting in the basement?

I suppose you could try cutting down on the flavoring a little bit. My recommendation would be to use smooth from TFA, maybe 3-4 drops and that should help with the harshness. I needed to do that in the past with honeydew mixes, maybe the same would be beneficial to you.

For me personally, I think cantaloup and honeydew at 8% would be too much... I think those flavors above 5% would be too much but everybody is different. Those flavors are very powerful to me. If it were me, I would mix them at 5% each and the watermelon at 8% bringing your total flavoring at 18% instead of 21.

Mix your base with no flavor and let it sit 10 days then vape it and see if it's harsh. If not then it's over flavoring reduce it by half.

If the base is harsh then reduce the NIC to 4mg.

Also and FYI..... you letting it sit down in your basement left alone in a cool dark place IS steeping. Look up Rip Trippers on streething good info there.

I'd try a 5-5-5-1% flavoring mix of your recipe above.
Certain flavors will come across as harsh sometimes.
FW Dutch Apple Pie, for example, makes me cough even at 7%...
