and this is why I shouldn't be mixing at 2am 
I like DIY, but it sure gets taxing after awhile when you're a picky ...... like myself and cant find something you enjoy vaping.I prefer mellow flavors, stuff that's too strong is an instant nope .. and unflavored feels too boring... ugh, the struggle
Aww...don't get down on yourself with DIY.......yet. You're still just getting your feet wet, so to speak. It sometimes takes awhile to hit upon that first truly wonderful eliquid that you made yourself. We've all been there before. Once you find that first 1 though, it's all worth the effort you expended to find it.
Since you like mellow flavors, the WF Hazelnuts & Cream that I suggested you might like to try about a week + 1/2 ago, ought to be a good one for you. I know you posted Monday afternoon that you'd gotten it. Have you made some of it yet?

I did - tried it at 4%, was super strong, 2% and then 1%. Even 1% seems really strong to me .. I think I might need to mix it with a coffee or something. For me, it seems more like an accent for a mix rather than a solo flavor.
Wow, you must really be a super taster! Even mine made singly at 6% isn't a strong flavoring to my "buds". What I've made in the 120mL batch seems to have gotten a little stronger to me though...when I pull another 30mL off to vape it for the week.
Might be worth you trying it in a mix though, as you said. With your sense of taste...you'll really get your money's worth, no matter what size flavorings you buy, because they'll go so far for you. That's a good thing for sure!
Hate to leave you here alone, since it seems Shadav has already called it a night. But it's after 3AM here now, and I only got 4hrs. sleep last night. So I've gotta get some sleep now before my eyelids give out on me. I'm sure Fran or some of the other early risers will be on here soon though.
I don't know if I'm a super taster, but I've never liked super strong flavors in anything, really ... except coffee - if that's not strong, then I'm not a fun person to be around haha. I am noticing that a lot of the recipes I see, I have to reduce their percentages by at least 1/2 or usually, more .. so I've been trying to keep total flavors at less than 4-5% ... which means I probably can't do any of those super complex recipes, but that's ok since I prefer simple.
I only used 1%. I found a review that suggested 2 drops in 30ml. I didn't believe it but thinking of trying 1 drop in 10ml.
I took me about 7 of my mixing years to lose my taste for high flavor mixes. It happened all at once too so I was scrambling to cut my %'s down....a lot. Most all my mixes are under 10% now.
Same here. I just vape unflavored mostly and when I want flavor I just add a squirt of juice made at recommended flavors to my unflavored tank. It works for me and gives me a hint of flavor that's about right.
Commercial juices are way over flavored for the most part.
Malty is like eggy or????
I wouldn't say so. It was a rather unpleasant taste. I mixed at 1% and I think I need to at least cut that in half.
I don’t think “malt” is a Southern thing, outside of malted milkballs which I like. I’m just not sure what that tastes like.
I got FA Malted Milk because I know a small amount of malted milk powder in dessert making adds a nice je ne sais quoi, and I'm hoping that carries over into mixing. Someday I'll find out, I guess.
Any pics?
