I use it at 2% all the time,all i get is a nutty type of taste,i think if you go much more it would probably start to get a fritos taste,but i've never got it at 2%.

As a beginner to DIY, I found the article (link below) helpful. While I don't agree with everything said, it's been helpful as my juices so far have been inconsistent. Sure, I've read a lot, bought lots of flavors, sweetners, additives, etc. but I began with too many ingredients that looked good on paper, as well as getting close to 25% flavors/extras, so I'm going back to simple stuff. I keep reading that more flavors and extras can make the finished juice have less flavor, something I have to remember. Worth a read.

@Mactavish Good (a bit surprised actually, and don't know why) to see your a Redittor as well. Yes, well aware of that article by skiddlz. Although, I pretty much agree with him and 'abdada', and many of the experienced mixers. I don't know if you've seen his 'nana cream recipe, or the original by /u/fizzmustard, which has banana. When the original came out it called for Lorann's Banana Cream, which sold out very quickly, so many turned to TFA's Banana Cream. I've mixed up both (vaping it right now) and prefer the TFA swap out much more than the Lorann's. (4 flavors only) but IIRC, you didn't get any Dragonfruit which is not required in the original.
Happy Mixing.
Happy Mixing.
It must be the individual taste thing,i've used it around 3% a few times,and i don't remember for sure,but i don't think it was muting my flavors then,but i also never tried those recipes without it in there,so it very well may have and i just didn't know it since i never tried them without.Now you got me wanting to experiment haha.
Fizzmustard 'Nana Cream
5% Banana Cream (LA) or TPA Banana Cream @ the same %
3% Dragonfruit (TPA)
7% Strawberry (TPA)
For skiddlz version:
Add: 1% Kiwi Double (TPA)
I prefer the skiddlz version with TPA Banana Cream. I find Lorann's very candied. Both are great.
* Lorann's is neon yellow. They also make a clear version, but only in large gal quanties, so if you must have clear you'll have to get it from a rebottler.

Sorry about that. It might be just me and probably is [emoji3] so I just avoid using it.
On another note, if I wanted to make just a cotton candy mix, what percentage of EM would I use? I've never tried to make it.

Thanks, sorry I was a bit busy, then lazy. Found it on the site where I keep my recipes and notes: e-liquid-recipes dot com
Tried to post the link, gets edited out when message is saved, what's up with that?
Got to get me some DRAGON!
if u have to ask you probably shouldn't ask... I don't know why but asking why is not a good idea on any forum where url's are censored, and evading the censors by typing out the site/url is seen as evading the censors which is infraction/ban worthy
It's not the link to the recipe, just to the site. I post links to all kinds of online vendors in just about every thread I'm on, never had an issue, so does everyone else at least in the hardware threads.
No reason to be sorry,like i said i never tried them without so very well could be muted,besides now i have a reason to experiment a bit haha.
On the cotton candy flavor,i have seen people post a few times that 10% is good for a cotton candy taste.I tried it once a couple years ago,but i had just recently stopped smoking so my taste buds weren't recovered yet,but my first few draws tasted exactly like cotton candy,then after that just sweet tasting.I may have to try that again now too haha.
I quit October 19 last year, and personally believe I have the worst smell/taste buds out of all of us. There are so many vendor juices that just taste like a jumbled mess to me, where I can't discern any flavors based on the juice name or profile.
OTOH, I do believe our 'smell' has much more to do with the flavors than our taste buds. If you pinch your nose while taking a vape, you'll probably only 'taste' sweet.
I quit 2 years ago with my first decent set up & first flavored juice. My taste buds continued to recover & change for the first year & a half. I haven't had a change since about March, but it could still happen again. I could, vt vape anything but custards. No fruits, no tobacco. Then suddenly I could use single creamy fruits. Blueberry & strawberry only so far. Blackberry at times. More than one fruit & I get the same thing as you. It doesn't taste good at all.
I would definitely agree that EM at a low percentage can help blunt a too sharp flavor. Which begs the question, which flavors are folks using to help sharpen a too dull flavor? I use Vanilla Swirl for that task. Anyone else?
Yep van swirl for me also. I tried em when I first started but did not like the after taste. I rarely use any sweeteners at all. My mixes are usually 50/50 pg/vg, but if I want a little sweet I just up the vg to 60.
