I got my first non disposable e cig( a basic ego) as well as nic base and flavorings thursday. As soon as I opened the box, I began mixing my first batch of juice( 5mls of 18g/ml 50/50 turkish tobacco with menthol and a little vanilla). I tested it and the throat hit about blew my head off. Not from too much nic, but from a VERY potent pepper taste. I diluted my juice with vg, the pepper taste wasn't so overwhelming anymore but at the cost of a much lowered nic level. Plus, it still overpowered/ruined any flavorings. The only one that was even remotely tolerable was super strong menthol, which while vaping I could at least pretend the pepper hit was some kind of strong tobacco lol. So I did my research and found lots of people who knew what this was, what caused it, and the solution(time). For a while there is was rough, and more than a few times I felt the alluring call of my favorite cigarettes. But finally the pepper plague has past and I ready to enjoy the art of diy to the fullest.

Yep steep time is very important with tobaccos. You should do some research on steeping. There are methods to quicken this process such as a hot bath or steeping with an ultrasonic cleaner.
Cliffhanger... Lol. I assumed it was the nicotine because of the pepper taste. When you say pepper, do you mean like salt and pepper type taste or an actual fruit-type pepper taste? Because when i taste NIC juices, I get more the acidic plant-type pepper taste personally and I always assumed it was the other pepper.
