What tanks are you using?
Arbiter 2's on a geek vape l200. Found a .35 ohm coil. Immediately can taste it again. Now I'm wondering if my cookie e liquid was fine cause I think it was the coil. Weird. I gotta try it later to see if it's still bitter.

Edit: I know changing cotton has a cotton taste, but it was super loud with the .15 ohm coil. It's not really even detectable with the .35 coil.

    I thought the Arbiter 2 was a dual coil rta? A lot of dual coil rtas don’t perform as well with single coils. I reviewed that tank a long time ago but just can’t remember it well.

    It is, but I've never had any issues with flavor using single coils. My gold tank with the .3 ohm slaps.

    When I very first got it, I remember feeling upset cause I couldn't taste anything after switching from disposable mesh, I guess it was the new cotton, cause then suddenly the flavor hit and it was even better than the mesh. Haven't wanted to use any other tank ever again.

    I've also noticed that my diy juices don't taste like anything until it's paired with a commercial juice. Like by themselves it's nothing, soon as they touch the commercial juice all the flavors come out. Do they add something to the commercial juice to make the flavors all come out? I know y'all said steep, but why is it that they actually taste as soon as I add the commercial liquid. Im confused.

    Are your diy mixes single flavors or recipes?

    This is one of them. By itself it's nothing, but when I drip it into an atomizer saturated with commercial liquid I taste everything. I thought the fruit flavors would already be sweet. Maybe not enough sweetener?

    I went back and read through my review on the Arbiter 2 and found the single coil operation a bit lackluster even with a 3.5mm single coil. Dual coil operation was very good.

    Most commercial liquids use a lot of sweetener. You might want to pick up a bottle of Capella Super Sweet. I usually never use it over .5% in a recipe but sometimes it is needed to help make flavors pop. Anymore I rarely use it but always have a bottle on hand just in case.

    Commercial juice has a lot of flavor. You probably need to use more flavor in your recipes in order to taste them.

    It’s hard to say without knowing what brands your flavors are but it might be over flavored.
