Ok... I came here for answers not arguments. If you want to argue go talk to a Mule! All I am trying to do is possibly get some help on narrowing what the issue could be. I have made 4 different batched of juice... 2 with Blueberry Wild and the other was vanilla custard. In the past neither one of these mixes tasted like these 4 have. To answer dannyv45 I have purchased the same flavors and all from the exact same Vendor. I am aware that the vanilla's and the custard's take a little time to steep, but I gave them both hot water baths and vigorous shaking as I have always done. I am honestly baffled at this point.

I'm having the same issue right now with an orange cream recipe by a certain popular mixer. There are 6 ingredients and I've already worked the percentages three different ways and they all taste the same. Gonna try it with only 3 ingredients today and see if it comes out better. Also gonna substitute mango and see if I like that better.

What is really weird is that there is a shop around here that makes juice to order, and their orange cream is phenomenal as soon as you walk out with it. It doesn't even need to steep. I don't know how he does that, but it's the best OC I've ever tasted. Probably alot of EM. Oh well, back to the drawing board!

I let the Blueberries & cream sit for 2-3 days and it taste much much better. The BB finally is coming through with no harshness. I think all the flavors just needed to meld together to bring out the taste. I made 2 moe batched of the BB custard and the BB & cream. I'm going to keep shaking them and then try after 3 days. I'll report back and give everyone the findings.

Could one of the base liquids be bad? If so which one is more likely to go bad. I purchased both VG & PGa little over a week ago from amazon from Essential Depot. I have never had bad luck with them but you never know.

It could be a possibility but doubtful but to be sure vape just the PG alone then the VG alone and see if there is an issue with either. Getting the base right is the first step in troubleshooting. My guide on getting the base right will help you through this. Once we get the base right we can move on to the flavorings.

It sounds like your moving in the right direction by adjusting flavor percentages and giving it more steep time. But make sure your base is as flavor neutral as possible (No harshness, over sweetness, off taste etc..).
