Questions concerning nicotine liquid

[Techno Destructo]

With my 510 Titan I get a variety of good and bad from the liquid mix I use:

_Using_

* 2ml- 36mg nicotine liquid
* 1ml- VG
* In addition, 3 drops PGA, 9 drops flavoring.

_Results_

* Good throat hit
* Good vapor
* Good smell
* Below average flavor

_Conclusions_

With all the bases full but flavor I thought just adding more flavor surely was the answer, wrong. The only good flavor that Really was been working happens to be Cinnamon. My fruit flavors don't seem to work at all either. Flavor is not the most important to me, still it would be nice.

Should I just buy already flavored juice?

Could I change my recipe to make any noticeable differences?

I'm totally new here, but I think we need some more info.

What is your nic juice cut with...is it all PG? Does it have any flavor?

What kind of flavoring are you using? Lorann?

I'm sure there's a way to adjust the recipe to make a nice tasting juice...but we need to know what you're starting with.

I am using a 36 mg nicotine from totally wicked- apple flavor. I accidently looked over the flavors and ended up with apple.

Now for the flavoring that I bought I have strawberry, orange, pralines, chocolate, cinnamon from Loann or whatever. The only one with any real taste is cinnamon.

I add after I cut my nicotine fluid with the Vegtable glycerin. I also add a few drops of everclear to the mix for the throat hit. Works great just no real taste.

I am pretty new to all this too, so I may not know either.

Obviously the apple flavored nicotine will interfere with the flavoring you add.

But, i have used most of those Lorann flavors in hard candy, so they do have taste. But I wonder if they are water soluble? There is a post around somewhere, I think in the diy liquid forum, that talks about which flavors are water soluble and which ones arent.

Seems to me you might be using too little flavouring. With LorAnn in particular you'll need rather much of them. (Or any baking flavours, for that matter.)
Do head over to the DIY section of the forum, and have a look at the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/74109-guide-diy-flavoring.html

I think most people use about 20% flavoring to their mix with Loranns. Also I have found that you have to let the mix set for at least 12 hours sometimes for certain flavors to absorb properly into the VG/PG before you have the final true flavor.

 

[AlexTM]

It's very roughly around there, but each and evey flavour differs in how much you need to get it going, and that's not even counting personal taste in.

As already mentioned the liquid needs to rest before using it otherwise you won't get the true flavour of it.

Heck, I have made a batch and used it a day later ... not quite what I was hoping for. Left the batch for a week and tried it ... much better.

I guess e-liquid requires 'aging' before use.

BTW, make sure that you blow and clean out the atty before using a new juice. If you use carts, clean up the cart and use a fresh plug.
