What am I missing?

[justincase]

Ok, so I have tried to make my own juice twice now, and both times I am stuck with a non flavored juice!
Well, it has some kind of flavor, but not sure what is is, and it's BARELY there.
Any suggestions?
Here is what I'm doing.

I start out with 60mg unflavored PG nic juice and cut it to 24mg with VG for a 10ml size bottle of finished product.
My recipe:
4ml nic juice
4ml VG
.6 ml butterscotch
.6 ml caramel
.6 ml maple
2 drops of vanilla butternut
and 1 drop of my tobacco concentrate

I am not exaggerating. I can't taste anything but, blah........

I am willing to try a different recipe if someone can suggest something. I am looking for something with a slight tobacco undertone, (1 drop of tobacco concentrate) with a sweet finish. Other than the flavors I have listed, I also have mint chocolate chip. All Lorann's.

Any help, please. I want something good to vape. I don't want to go back to cigarettes, which I won't, but I just don't want to sit around and vape this blah, non-tasting crap!

Hi, sounds like the nic juice already had VG (or PG) in it. I found that out after I mixed my first batch. Very bland. Don't add the 4ml VG to the mix. ( If its TW juice then I think you might need the VG) Also, might have to up your flavorings- Iam not sure how many drops are in .6 ml. I use the e-juice calculator on this site and its pretty right on. Also, when Iam making something new, I'll only mix enough for 1ml to try it out. The e-juice calculator really makes it easy.

I have the calculator from scubabatdan. And those measurements actually came from Dan for this particular recipe. Also, I have to add the VG, otherwise, my juice would be off in the nic value. My unflavored nic juice is 60mg of PG base. I add the VG so I end up with a PG/VG mix. I just can't seem to taste any flavor.

Also, how would I make a 1ml "test" batch? I would love to do this, just don't know how to go about it. My tobacco concentrate is SO STRONG, I only need 1 DROP for a 10ml DIY bottle.

The ejuice recipe calculator Iam using has areas where you input the starting nic mg.,flavoring strength %, and ending ml desired. I just put in 1 ml. as the amount I wanted to make and it gives me the recipe. You might need to make 3 ml samples since your flavoring is so strong. Is that the recipe you are using? First time I used it I was not aware that the 48 mg. juice I got already had PG in it. Came out very bland and diluted. Second batch I did'nt add any PG and turned out great. With TW's I follow their instructions and add the recommended PG or VG to the 54mg. juice.
