I was looking for less sweet but sounds like dropping my vg more would work better.
Where do you purchase your vg from? I have noticed than when I grab a smaller bottle from a vendor, it is sweeter than the vg I get from essential depot.

Next time I order vg I want to buy from some other place to test it also.

    PG is water based and pretty much that thin
    PEG400 and VG are both categorized as viscous. While I dont think its as thick as VG I dont think its anywhere near as thin as PG. Just my opinion.
    Again,I'm just concerned with sweetness. It's all the fruits fault I'm having such a problem with this.

    That got me to thinking about it being sweet so I tasted it on my tongue. Just a drop. Its not sweet but DONT try it. VG taste sweet but not PEG. I cant describe how bad it taste

    I never did well with fruit vapes in the past so this mixing with mainly fruit is all new ground for me. Instead of a cheesecake or tobacco I'm attempting things like basil.tea.booze,cucumber and all sorts of strange things as a base for the fruits.

    How does it vape? More or less clouds? I am thinking less, but ya never know....until you try it.

    :)
    It vaped like pg but does seem to brighten up fruits. Honestly PEGs only value to me is it does speed up steeping compared to my vg/dw base. I'm giving it one more shot in mixes that taste thicker. It crackles like using too much dw too. Could be pg did too, haven’t vaped commercial juices since October last year and then I was using 80vg+ juices. I'll try 85vg/15PEG this time no dw.

    Sadness is..

    Ordered 20+ flavors from BCV (Basil and Ginger Peach were OOS :(), box arrived on Monday and new cases to store flavors arrived too. I didn't have time to shop around for other 4th of July specials.

    It's Thursday. I've been working long hours, including the holiday. The boxes aren't even opened yet, let alone having time to play and mix.

    That is just sad. You've given me such great ideas. I have a bunch of flavors mixed up so I really don't need to mix more. I just want to.. :cry:

    and I have to work this weekend too..:-x

    Please keep the ideas flowing. One of these days I'm going to take a day and turn into a mad scientist and have fun mixing all sorts of concoctions! They're loaded and ready in my Juice Calculator (I'm with Joel on that one). I keep finding new features to play with, it tracks my inventory and shopping list.

    Got my strawberry wine racked, sulfited, sorbated, backsweetened and clarified. I have my counter back.

    Making 30ml of Smokey Amber Plum, which I think I will call SAP. I wonder if I'll remember what it is if I call it SAP.

    A glass or two of Cyser (apple mead) will follow. When I moved the jugs of strawberry I found some unsulfited at bottling Raspberry Melomel (mead) that was aged plenty for me with no sulfites so it bumped the Cyser out of the fridge. That may follow the Cyser.

    Forgot to mention I finally tasted the lychee testers. Surprisingly good. The Cap steeps out but leaves behind a lovely light sweetener. The FE was better imo, light fruity notes that will pair with just about any fruit or cream. Pretty good single actually, light enough to use as a palette cleanser. Think it might work to lighten an over flavored fruit mix.

    It taste as clean as PG to me. Ive never had the crackling and Im vaping it now at 50/50 but it could just be the set up.
    @FranC I would go with dc99's impressions of PEG, he uses it much more than I have and is definitely more experienced than I as well.

    I wouldnt say that by any means. Its just my opinion and yours means just as much as mine or anybody elses. I really only tried PEG because I cant get along with PG and I just dont think you get as bright a flavor with max VG. I really have fallen behind with mixing because of all these mods.
