When I 1st started vaping I told my roommate who finally got me to vape that I doubted I would ever be interested in vaping flavors especially fruits like she did. I started off vaping naked 100 Euro Gold Tobacco which at the time I thought was just fine especially after just coming off the disgusting taste of cigarettes.
Well within 4-6 weeks I had stopped MTLing and started using a sub ohm and yes flavors. Some really great flavors that kept me vaping.
Several months ago I came across o new bottle of the Euro I had stashed away and decided to vape it and see how horrible or not it would be to only have tobacco flavors.
Man it was disgusting lol! How I vaped that for an entire month I have no idea. I’m guessing my taste buds were on life support. I can only believe at some point I probably would’ve just started smoking again. There’s absolutely no way I could go back to at least that tobacco flavor.
I have vaped unflavored occasionally especially when I 1st started DIYing and was sft in between taste testing to “cleanse” my palette. It’s just not for me. I like flavors. And at the beginning I liked A LOT of flavors like about 20% or more of flavors lol!!
Almost 2 years into it I still enjoy my flavors but I premix my base with the assumption that my flavor percentages will be between 12 to 15%. That seems to be my “sweet” spot for awhile now.
This weekend I tried 2 recipes that had flavor totals at 6 and 9%. Nope. No good. Just so subtle as to be almost untastable to me. I ended up bumping the totals up to 12% which I was at least able to taste. So I’m still sticking to around that 15% total recipe dependent of course.
On the flip side I tried some store bought juice my roommate buys and it was overwhelming in flavor. I figure it must be at least 25% in total flavoring?? I suggested diluting it to make it last longer and she looked at me like a had 3 heads lol!!!
That’s one of the best aspects of DIYing. I can make it as in my face or as subtle as I want that works for me.
And tbh I felt that my DIY steeped custard had BETTER flavor quality than a well known and popular premade juice.
How happy did that make me feel??? Pretty darn happy with my decision to make my own juices!!
So - any need to stock up on oh or vg? Or are we safe on that front?
Have a great night everyone
