Too Harsh! What Went Wrong?

[Jfaria1891]

Post experiment update: I tested the pg and vg individually and didn't notice any harshness. I probably should have done this to begin with and think it's a good idea for anyone starting DIY. Now I know what they taste like and can compare other brands. I did 4 batches of various pg/vg ratios and nic levels and found that 30pg/70vg at both 10 and 12mg nic are not too harsh. I get the TH I'm used to with vendor juice. So, I guess increasing my vg level is just what I needed. I did one batch at 5% strawberry and one at 7% both with 2 drops of lemon juice. The 7% is fantastic! I do think I will only do 1 drop of lemon juice next time.

Over all I'm so thrilled with my first attempt! Thanks for all the suggestions! Now off to master my other flavors!

Im glad it worked for you and im glad im not the only one did you notice a difference in flavor with the lemon juice? I really got to try this haha. And remember if anything is too harsh just back off a little on the nic ... less nic is never a bad thing

The lemon gives it an acidic "feel" on inhale and makes it seem a little dry. I don't so much taste the flavor of the lemon though. Maybe start at 1 drop/5ml. You can always add another. I think it did help to even things out just like SouthernBliss suggested. I'm going to tackle my white chocolate next!
