I find that my DIY Liquid lacks flavour during vaping and only kicks in during very last part of the blow. the flavour is kinda muted although its gets slightly stronger in the end. The Flavour KICK is really lacking. I use 20% flavour concentration and I also add sucralose sweetener. How could I improve the flavour of my liquid?
What could be wrong with my DIY E-Juice?

What flavor is it and who makes it? What Battery and carto/atty/clearo are you using? How much PG/VG/PGA are you using? Is it only one flavor or is it every flavor you make?
Maybe 20% is too much for the flavor you are using.

I am using a 70/30 mix. Provari with a vivi Nova. I've made only one flavour which is Honey Dew. It sucks
Well it could be alot of things
- too much flavoring (most likely)
- too few flavoring (unlikely)
- the flavor you are getting doesn't resemble what you have in mind (common)
- your vape setup
I suggest restarting, and start off with drops. Make your base like 5ml or 10ml if you prefer and then add 4 drops, give it a try on an atomizer or ego-c tank or so, not enough flavor, add another 2 or 4 drops, keep doing this till you have almost the thing you like, then stop, let it steep
You could also do it another way
take 5 bottles PG/VG (with or without nicotine)
1st bottle = 2 drops
2nd bottle = 4 drops
3rd bottle = 6 drops
4rd bottle = 8 drops
5th bottle = 10 drops
You get the idea, I would not focus that much on the percentages since there are some vendors where 1 drop is enough. If you know the vendor has highly concentrated stuff, 1/2 drops usually is already enough for 5ml. Also try to look up the percentage the vendor says it needs.
In the months i have been doing DIY I just can't get why people are so focused on those percentages for flavoring. I just make 12mg of nicotine juice and then add my flavoring, if it turns out the end result is 11 fine, if the end result is 10mg don't care that much honestly. I just find it way easier to add drops then to measure out the flavoring especially 2-3%, you would need ultra small needles etc or a digital pippette, so I suggest drops. Now if you want to make it in larger quantities, you can still translate drop to ML

Also, it might be a good idea to try adjusting the voltage on your Provari. I find that wattage has a profound effect on flavor.
TBH, I think 20% might be too much. Which flavor manufacturer are you using? Maybe someone can 'target' the % for you.
It could also be the vivi nova is muting the flavor. For my taste, any clearomizer tends to mute the flavor.
Are you letting it steep? I find it takes a week for mine to start coming through, day 1 and 2 they're very mild.
thank you for all your advices. all noted. i will also let it steep for a few days to see the outcome.
Can anyone recommend which site I can go to to get GREAT FLAVORINGS? cos there are so many and I am confused.
And also I used sucralose sweetener. Taste funny. Is Stevia okay?
Oh I forgot to ask if I should use Water Soluble flavorings or Oil Based ones?

I much prefer Stevia to sucralose but be sure what you get has no alcohol in it.
You should not use Oil based flavorings.
Personally my favorite flavorings are Capella and FlavourArt, I use TPA/TFA for flavors the other two don't carry and for tweaking. By far the most flavorings are bought from Capella and FlavourArt. Capella sells direct from their website, I buy my FlavourArt from ecigexpress.com
