Problems with DiY Banana E-Juice

[Foreign Lawyer]

So I just started doing DiY and I chose banana as my first flavor extract, and that is where the problem comes in. I dont use pg just vg and distilled water, and my recipes are 100% nic free. The juice does taste a bit like banana, but not as much as I thought it would. I think the problem is that the flavor extract tastes too much like the vg I bought. Any suggestions on the recipe would be much appreciated. I do have some more flavors coming in the mail so I will test this ratio out with those to see if it is the ratios or the flavor extract.

Recipe:
Banana
--------
vg - 60% 3ml (CVS Glycerin)
dw - 20% 1ml (WalMart 1gallon Distilled Water)
flavor - 20% 1ml (madvapes Banana)

30% flavor 10% Ds. 60%vg if that dosent do it just keep stepping that way.

20% flavour might be a bit much. It's possible to overdo flavours so that the taste diminishes the more you add.
Try cutting back to 5% or less. My 2c.

My first recipe had the flavor at 5%, but I could hardly taste anything, so I stepped it up to 20%. I think that I am just going to let it sit for a couple of days and see how it tastes then.

I was just looking at the madvapes site and they do recommend 20%.
But it's the PG that carries more flavour, so maybe you'd need even more with just VG.
Or (on a slightly side ways note) try some inawera banana - you only need 2-3% typically - I've got some and it is that powerful....

Pg allows for better flavor. I like a strong flavor especially with bananas I use 80/20 pg/vg mix with double flavor.
