What %'s are you using for the flavorings that seem harsh. Could be your palate just does not agree with the recipe as written. Yes, heat will make a juice taste harsh but its interesting it is only happening on a few. May be you should try adjusting some of the flavor %s(lower would require less steeping time also) but I would suggest starting first with an adjustment to an over all recipe first so that the relationship between flavors remain the same. In DIY less is more. Not only is less flavoring easier on coils but you may then be able to vape at the wattages you find enjoyable. Each recipe has its own sweet spot so I do agree with others that your problem may be solved by turning down the power.Morning mixers,
I'm starting to notice a bit of a harshness to some ejuices I mixed 2-3 weeks ago, a nut recipe in particular. Lowering the wattage helps, but could it be the coils need changing or have I over-steeped them? I'm using Rayon with SS316L spaced coil between 38-50W. The coils are dark, but not particularly crusty. The Rayon is as pure as the driven snow.
Why I haven't immediately thought about changing the coils is that I recoiled/rewicked my tank at the same time, and despite hammering it with a heavy commercial juice (gingerbread jam), it is fine. No harshness whatsoever.
Some juices are worse than others, a NY cheesecake I mixed at Christmas is coming into its own now, with no harshness and some lovely notes. The Cannoli which has rested for just over a month is not bad either.
Have I discovered a steeping bell curve, or is my lack of coil-changing discipline to blame?
Also, use as little sweetener as possible and use flavors to add a sweetness. Works loads better imo.
