I am using Flavourart products, a premix base of 30/70 6mg, and using syringe measurements. After 2-3 days steeping, I get pretty weak flavor. Any suggestions?
It depends on the flavoring, your tastes, and your percentages.

There's a pretty good spreadsheet here:



That I've used as a guideline.

I used 7% coconut and 15% pineapple with the rest base. Used the YAEC calculator to get ml amounts.
i am a noob/newbie,, using FA flavors as well.. but your %'s seem real high. i think the goal is to have your max Total % to be 3%-8% max,, sure there will be a flavor here and there that only sings at 1% or only sings at 9%,,, HIC and other note that here and there. (i try to stay in the 3-5% range.. closer to the higher side because i am all VG)........

Hi. I checked the Flavourart MSDS and used maximum suggested. Maybe less is more.

as i understand it,, your taste buds have a 'level' at which they cannot define more of any given flavor,, once your above that threshold your pouring money down the drain and likely frustrating yourself.

can beer/soda/milk taste like more beer/soda/milk? no,, it has a set level taste.

now,, there are mechanical issues you may want to visit:
1)your coil wrap design/type of wire

2) are you using cotton? rayon is better

3) airflow/tank/rda design & settings

pallet cleansing.. vape 'neat' vg/pg/nic for a couple of tanks,, or every few tanks..you will notice flavor pops.

start off with single flavor recipes first then add to them

patience............(this is where i want you to see the real me----Siri mocks Cookie Monster on tv about time to cook cookies :)

I checked FA chart and I was about 50% too high. I'll try adding more base and see if that fixes it.
i tend to drink water all of the time long before vaping..never soda pop......but i found mountain dew, monster citron and some lemon type teas do wonders for my tastebuds for cleansing.

All good info. Thanks for the tips. Patience seems to be key. This is fun!
