Which are the key points to make a great MTL DIY e-liquid?

[Astur]

Hi there, I've been mixing some Tribeca clones that taste great on my TFV8 tank but in my wife's eGO AIO they are nearly tasteless, should I use different PG VG percentages or flavors... I don't know, could anyone give me a clue?
Cheers-Saludos

To try and assist it would help to know what your recipe is.

Basic Tribeca Clone
10% The Flavor Apprentice RY4 Double
1 drop of Acetyl Pyrazine per 5 ml of finished juice
60-40 GV-PG 0.3% nic

Sometimes things taste pretty drastically different at different resistances, so yes you may have to adjust your juice, but I'm not sure in which direction. Maybe make it 50/50 VG/PG? PG is more of a flavor carrier? I'd think to up flavoring (and probably nic, if it's a small MTL device) but that would just be my first thought....

Good luck, I'm sure others with more experience with this will come around....

I would up the flavor percentage for your wife's juice. Lower wattages do not bring out all the flavors like high wattage subohm vaping does. I had to reduce my flavorings almost to half of my usual recipe for higher wattage Maybe start at 15% then up to a maximum of 22%. Make small 0mg 4 ml batches until you find what she likes. If I had to guess, I would say 18% would be just about right, but everyone has different taste.
Another thing that can affect flavor is the tank. The top airflow tank on her AIO is not a good flavor tank like your TFV8s.

There are many "Tribeca's" out there, might want to try a different recipe like:
TFA RY4 Double 12%
TFA Graham Cracker 4%
TFA Acetyl Pyrazine 2%
TFA Caramel 2% –-------------was CA
TFA Brown Sugar 1%–------------- was TFA Cotton Candy 1%

Could see if if you both like it.

That should work 22% flavor. I may offshoot a recipe from this Bob since I am not an RY4 Fan, I would substitute TFA Dulce de leche for the RY4 Double and Ethyl maltol for the Acetyl Pyrazine

Note to all: The RY4 and Caramel, I believe, are the primary flavors in this mix.
I also believe the rest of the flavors are secondary. Ok to sub for these, but, altering the RY and Caramel may defeat my intent (an intense RY/Carm mix what I'm shooting for).
Then again, folks can choose to do what they think may work. Who knows, a sub anywhere may improve the mix and give me more of what I'm looking for.
Who knows, DLeche may give the RY mix that extra intensity.

Sorry Brother Bob, my intent was not to change your RY4 recipe but to remove the RY4 and replace it with something else. Kind of building a new recipe off of yours since I do not like RY4... I apologize for the poaching
