I think that what happens to many of us is that when we first get off of analogs, we can't taste much and order the flavorings strong. Then just keeping it that way after our tastebuds get better............

I think this is true.. but I also think that many of us (myself included) think that more is better! If 5% is good then 20% will be great. That may not be the case here.

so far I've got 6 full days out of the carto (resurrector) with the unflavored. I cheated a little a couple days ago and added 4 drops of vanilla to the bottle (I just wanted to see how it tasted!) and it is still going strong with good flavor. 4 drops (no added sweetener) gives it a nice subtle vanilla flavor. I am thrilled with how long this carto is lasting compared to all the others I've used with heavily flavored and store bought juice!

    I think it's great that you were open minded enuf to try unflavored. I think it'd be normal to use a little of something flavored to transition your palate.

    I agree w/ Meems in that forcing very hot water w/ a syringe thru works great. I do that after 6 wks. and often the cartos come out like new. Lol, I've thrown some out after forever just for the change.

    A thing to watch out for now is obviously having very tasteless nic, because even a slight scent will build up in the cartos. I'm still on a hunt for scentless unflavored. I sniff all the bottles when I receive them, and the only one so far that has given me scentless has been the OneStopDiy place.

    Best wishes on your new journey...........

    I made this last nite and I think I'm in Love, LOL. Thanks Salemgold and Donnah :)..
    This is what I made
    10 ml @ 12 mg nic 75/25 pg/vg. I then added 1 drop of caramel cappuccino from PA and 5 drops of vanilla swirl from PA. It is sooo good.. I can't speak for anyone else, but for me I am discovering that less is more. This is pretty close to what I used to buy from Vermillion River ~ caramelized cappuccino but so much better. Because it is still clear it will be much easier on my ce2's and carto tanks than the store bought is.. I am a very happy camper/diyer :) :).

    I got my flavors in today and tried this.. I like it :) I used one drop of the caramel capp in 7ml of unflavored and boy that is some potent stuff! If I had added more than that it would have been way too strong. Thanks for the recipe!

    an update: I am still using the same carto I started out with 2 weeks ago!! It is still going strong! I can't believe I have been able to get one to last this long. (I was beginning to think that all the people who said they their's lasted this long were.. um.. lying!) I do still use a bit of my storebought juices but if I fill the carto with one, I follow it with unflavored or my lightly flavored mixes. I am very happy with the results of this experiment.. for my vaping experience, it is a game changer.

    I even have a clear dual coil carto that I filled with Tasty vapor juice.. it lasted one day before it tasted yucky.. then I flushed it with warm water, using a syringe and let it dry for a few days. I filled it with another Tasty vapor juice the first fill and then kept refilling with unflavored/lightly flavored. The dual coil carto is now a week old, the filling is clear (except for a bit of light brown at the bottom) and it is going great! It has none of that burnt filler look that many say their clear cartos have. I use a bottom feeder and when I want a shot of intense flavor, I can bottom feed it for awhile then go back to dripping unflavored into it. The unflavored seems to flush all the "yuck" out of the carto.

    So, I'm still getting lots of flavor and long lasting cartos! Now I'm wondering if all my 901 attys deaths were the result of the heavily flavored and heavily sweetened tasty vapor juices. For my next experiment I'm going to start with a new atty and use just the unflavored and lightly flavored to see if it still dies after a day or two.

    Happy Camper!!
