TV flavor experts...I need help!

[smilin0117]

Ok guys I need a little help. I have several bottles of juice that I am having a hard time with. To smell them alone--I LOVE them. But when I vape them, I just dont get the same flavors. They taste a little harsh....some almost taste burnt. I have tried vaping them anywhere from 3.2 on my eGO to every volt in between 3 and 6 on my BUZZ.

Here is what I have....All are 24mg 10%vg (which is my normal vape)

AC
Pina Colada
Cherry Cola
Mint Chocolate Chip
Coconut Cream Pie

Do you guys think it would be a good idea to try and cut the nic and pg down with doublers? I guess I am looking for suggestions on making these juices less harsh. I just dont know the best way to do it. I am still pretty new to TV and well I AM NOT ready to bail on these flavors yet.

I have GB and LOVE IT!!!

So...any suggestions would be great. I know these juices hold potential becuase they smell great. I just dont know how to make them great to vape....PLEASE HELP

How long have you had them?
Some flavors take up to 2 weeks to age properly. Worse case scenario would be to add a couple drops of VG to smooth it out.

I have had the flavors for anywhere between 1.5-3 weeks. I could add the VG...was only worried about loosing the good flavor.

I have every flavor that you have. I had a problem with that burnt taste from time to time. I finally gave up on using atomizers. I haven't had a burnt taste since changing to cartomizers. I know that taste and it totally sucks.

It's the pg/vg mix, along w/ the device you are using, along w/ the flavor. Hmm... now I'm comfused. *&^%#@

But... to harsh, order some VG doubler to mix w/ it.

Yeah they've aged enough I use the cartomizers too. But with both atomizer and cartos once you get the burnt taste it's very hard to get rid of. And it's nasty! I let a carto go to dry on my 5 volt had to throw it away after only one fill. Now I keep em wet would rather flood it than run it dry. I take it you switched around your atty, carto, cartridge? If so the doubler may be the only option but I would make the VG level higher than normal VG tends to smooth it More plus adds vapor but you wont lose the flavor with the doubler.

I dont get what your saying? But your suggestion of doubler is the route i was thinkin...

Thanks...I think...

Ya..I tried about every combo I could think of. Atty/carto and a ton of different cart mods, just in case any of those fillers were causing it. And I agree with you 100% about keeping the carto extra wet over ever letting it dry out. I keep a drip tip on them, and just drip in them now.

The added VG option to the doubler I didnt think of....thank you so much. I will probably try to get a doubler or two and see what happens.

Do you think I should try to keep the nic level at 24 or try to bring it down a little?

Well the doublers are nic free so adding anything out of the doubler bottle is going to lower the nic level without losing flavor! So I would go easy on adding from the doubler. Try like 10 drops at a time if you're adding it to a 1 oz bottle of 24mg Juice. That way you can more or less pinpoint that sweet spot without diluting too much nic.

I have the pina coloda - its my fave vape (well it and GCC atm lol) - mine is 12mg though and 20% VG. Its got a sharp edge to it's sweetness though so I can imagine at 24mg its probably quite viscious lol. If youre really keen to keep it and try it over then markimar's suggestion is a good one; I can only add that I love it.

 

[PapaJoe8]

This is tha weird deal... every pg/vg mix changes the flavor. One flavor at one mix works great. Change the mix and it no longer does. Everything must work just right.

As I stumbled on this thread I had just finished mixing:
1 part 26 mg/ 0 VG Coconut from another vendor
1 part 0 mg/20 VG Coconut Cream Pie
2 parts 24 mg/20 VG Pina Colada

yielding 18.5 mg/ 15% VG of not-at-all-harsh awesomeness. (I think)

On the other hand, I just got an ounce of MCC at 36mg/10% VG, and it doesn't really bother me. Mind you all of this has aged for a while. I think it really depends on the flavor.

 

[smilin0117]

Thank you guys!!!!

I am a little late......sounds like you are not putting enough fluid on your atty. If you are using your Buzz at 5V or higher, you are going to want to flood that atty and keep it really wet! This will keep the juice from burning. Hope that helps!

I may have missed this, but what device are you using? (510, 901, etc...) Also, if you're vaping at higher voltage than 3.7, and I see 4.5 in your sig, you're going to get a burnt taste if the atomizer isn't constantly soaked.

If you're getting a burnt taste from ANY juice (even crappy dekang), it's not the juice's fault...unless it's meant to taste like burnt liquid.

Some atomizers just get this way after a period of time, and at that point, I throw them out and grab another. This especially happens with 510 attys, and especially at higher voltages. They burn so hot so quickly that you're going to get a buildup of burnt stuff on your atty, which won't go away without dry burning.


edit: what chainvapor said. Didn't see that before I posted.

 

[smilin0117]

Thanks guys...Im willing to try anything. It's the same with a new cato/new atty/on the buzz, ego or wetbox. I dont think I ever really flooded the atty though on the buzz...so I will give that a try.

Thanks again!!
