I just started diy and bought flavorings from The Perfumers Apprentice through OneStopDIYShop.com.

I thought I would like caramels, chocolates, coffees, vanillas and creams best as I prefer these food items! :laugh: But I find them all gross! They have a really weird taste to them. I did surprisingly find that I love fruit and mint flavors, just plain fruit, no cream or candy fruits.

My problem is that even at 30% I can barely taste a very slight hint of flavor once in awhile and only on exhale. Ive tried everything even vaping differently letting the vapor rise to my nose so my sense of smell helps but to no avail.:(

Im using a 70-30 pg/vg mix and I make it at 24mg.

Im hoping someone can recommend some fruit flavors they've found to be strong?

I am new to vaping and jumped right into diy without ever having bought premade juice. So maybe I'm just expecting way more flavor than is normal?

Don't really know. 30% is pretty darn high, even for TPA. Many folks experience less flavor if the flavoring is too high plus odd tones. Then again, you have just started vaping and nothing tastes right for awhile. At least for me. And you have nothing to base things on either.

I cannot know if it is your nose not working, flavoring being wrong for you, your mixes, or even if you have a bum atty or two.

I'll let others that know more than me give it a go.

I did taste a premixed jr mint from nicvape that came as a sample in my order and it tasted "normal" just not for me. Ive used the 510 and the ego batts, carts, drip tips and tanks. Fruit is such a light taste anyway, maybe my taste buds are dead :(

I did a test and 40 drops with the pa flavors equals 1ml for me so I use a syringe for my nic, pg and vg and drops based on 40=1ml for flavor.

I was a pure fruit vaper for a couple of months and still have bottles of unvapeable juice laying around. I quickly learned I prefer Lorannes blackberry and pomegranate. Their raspberry is pretty good, too, though it seems to change with a little age. I mixed at 20% and 25% flavorings for the pure fruit flavors and I could definitely taste them. The big 1 oz. bottles are pretty cheap, too, from their website.

I had a hard time vaping any of the other kinds of juices, either I couldn't taste them or they turned me green. My taste are slowly changing, though, so I know everybody's is different. And they're still a lot of juices to try! Good luck!

DawnsDone,
I too got a bottle of Nicvape's jrmint and will second the sentiment that it tastes "normal". It is strong and tastes like what it is intending to be. Fortunately I like jr mints and pepermint patties. I've only been vaping six weeks and DIY with lorannes for two weeks. For what it's worth, lorannes rootbeer at 20% tastes like rootbeer to me (I might even cut it down more like 15 or even 10%). Like Ler, I also like Lorannes pomegranate and blackberry at 20%. I don't know what the answer is but I would love to be able to mix up some juice that had a strong flavor and tasted like what it was meant to be. Don't give up, it all tastes better than a cigarette

I started vaping with the 901 attys. I bought a 5 pack of 510's to see if there was any difference. I have only used one of them and gave another one to a friend to try. I noticed a great drop in flavor with the one I tried, but didn't say anything to my friend about it. When I asked him how he liked the 510 the first thing he said was "There is no flavor" I don't understand how an atty could make any difference in flavor, but maybe you should try a 901 to see if that helps.:2cool::vapor:
