Is this a scam? DIY?...I juiced pure Blueberry Extra,...and nothing!...WTF!
One would think so!...Perhaps it needs to steep?...But why?....It's flavor!...

Basically I followed the reccomendations! PG / VG and 20% Flavor (I bought 4 blueberry flavors from DIY)...(Tried all,...no flavor at their recommended 20%),...got a little ......,...vaped it straight,...NOTHING!
Anyway, I have one steeping:?
50% 48mg (Flavor It Yourself) E-juice - 100% PG
25% VG
25% Flavor: (Blueberry Wild) PG based
OK,...So I went 25% on the flavor,...instead of 20%....They said: "Then add a little more flavor if you see fit"

Blueberry Extra is quite stout IMO. Try backing it down to 10% and work up to 15% if needed. When you get it to 10%, wait at least 24 hrs. before upping the percentage. 1 day can make a world of difference!
OK,...I made (the origional batch...above) Yesterday (8/20 at,.....11:00am)...As soon as the mail got here!...lol
.....Guess I'll try it now,...It has been 24

OK,.......WOW!,....Whoda Thunk it!
It has a pungant (almost menthol flavor),........Now how in the world?.....One would absolutely think that (from the get go) you would taste flavor!....Possibly a chemical reaction or "combining" but,...I vaped it straight before!..."Why Who da,...What Da,....Why Yoo,....Wise Guy!"...lol
Right now I dripped into a "wannabee" SI Cart with the filler pulled out,.....Guess I'll pop it in the CE3
Anyway,....Your right! and it does seem strong!.....-------Thanks Lynda

I stopped using percentages. I just mix down to 12mg and then I add drops. I do not care how many percent a vendor says
For tobacco's I'll start of with 2
If a company sells mostly super concentrated percentages can be a pain to work with. So i'll go with drops. I'll start with 2 shake, test, not enough, 2 more, shake test repeat
Tobacco's generally need a bit steeping time to test flavor. So I just make 3 bottles of 5mg with VG/PG mix and no nicotine
I'll add 2 drops in 1 bottle, 4 drops, 6 drops in a bottle, let it sit for a week and test
For myself I found drops working out alot better then having exact percentages. I bought alot of stuff like gradual cylinders etc. I do always write down how much drops goes in what. Some people might like stronger, some less. But having not enough of flavor from the start is better then having it overdone
So always start of very low, give it a try and repeat. If you are close to the flavor and you think, it might be better with a drop or 2, stop, let it sit for a day or 2-3. Try again. Some flavors are also more potent then others

I mix blueberry flavoring at 5% flavoring and its strong. 25% wont taste good. Too much flavors is the same as no flavoring. Too little flavoring actually has more taste then too much flavoring.
OK, that was good for a chuckle.
If you really want some taste from vaping flavoring straight, I would suggest FA's Dark Vapure. And, please record the session on video. (Nobody ever makes these videos for me...)

Thanks everyone!
I was just completely blown away...From the fact that steeping is everything. Just doesn't make sence. I suppose there really is a chemical reaction / chemical incorporation going on there,( a reaction the Flavor has with the Glycol & Glycerin...WOW.
I'll keep in mind what y'all say about the ammounts of flavor too......
...I just figured.........MOE IS BETTA!.........Go figure

It is Kinda a Mystery ???
Just like why does Spaghetti Sauce taste better the Next Day?
Maybe the Flavor Gods are Slow to work their Magic?
BTW - I hve found that Adding a Couple of Drops of Plain Water to a 10 or 15ml DIY Mix helps to "Kick Off" the Flavors.
Maybe the Flavoring Chemicals Bind with Water or Maybe its all in My Head. But it works for Me.
I love Flavour Art's Black Tea. So much that I started mixing in 10% tea flavoring and 5% peach. That tasted like almost nothing. I made a new batch and backed the black tea down to 7% and loads more flavor. Next batch I will back it down to 5% to see what the difference is. It is definitely true that too much flavoring equals no flavor. 20ml of the stuff lasted me a few months. I have a new order of 100ml of it on the way. Mixed with fruits it is an all day vape, IMO. 
Posted it awhile back but I accidentally vaped Wizard Labs' Juicy Fruit straight. It's a mistake I won't make again
Is it sort of like when someone eats a super sour candy or worse? I agree seeing a video of someone doing it would be quite amusing. Sort of like watching someone fall down or wipe out (as long as they don't get hurt).
The hell of it was my brain seemed to have completely disengaged when I did it
WL included a small bottle of flavoring as a gift. This was in a dropperless 4ml *glass* bottle, which should have been a dead giveaway, but no. I extracted the flavoring with a syringe, put it into a 6ml dropper bottle and dripped it onto a debridged 306 atty.
See? I really had to work to screw that up
*note to self: wear your glasses when checking out liquid gifts suppliers give you*
hm, now that i read this post i can see why my tobacco tasted a lil off...will keep this in mind for next batch.
