Have you tried a hot water steep? You shake the newly mixed bottle, place it in a cup of water at 100c then sit it out until the water and juice return to room temperature, shake and vape.

Way too much flavor..You should start out with 5% on tobacco flavors as most of them are very strong flavors..

Too much flavor = Yuck taste

If you haven't read my blog, do so. Particularly the one on flavoring levels.

Next, I added up your OP as 120% + whatever the nicotine solution added. For my brain to wrap around recipes everything has to add up to 100%. I can do sub percentages if that helps.

wait 5 days to try...DIY is slow to work. ...if it still tastes bad after 5 days or more, add more vg and pg...or start over with 5% flavor....first...

2 things...

In your original post your % don't add up. People are going to need accurate numbers for ingredients to help better.

Also with tobaccos I would recommend between 1-3% you can always ad more if need be. Some tobaccos need to steep some. To much flavoring will result in flavorless juice.

Good luck.

Your flavoring is most likely way to high especially for a tobacco flavoring. That's most likely the issue. Try cutting back your percentage for flavoring to 1 to 3% and adjust from there. They also may need to steep some.

Good luck.

That would probly put you at around 66%pg/34%vg at what ever nicotine strength your using. Your flavoring is most likely way to high especially for a tobacco flavoring. That's most likely the issue. Try cutting back your percentage for flavoring to 1 to 3% and adjust from there. They also may need to steep some.

Good luck.

thank you!

just a let me undarstund pleas

once i make my juice
i put him in a cup with hot water until it's cool dwon
and than i put the e-juice in a dark place ?
for how long ?

 

[whatitstrue]

Give it a couple days and test it. If it's good then it's ready. If not give it a few more. It could take a couple days or several weeks.

its also possible it will never get better. Unfortunately with DIY not every bottle is a keeper.

Good luck

Thanks for the links they were very informative!

I was about to start a new thread myself wondering why my diy creations are so muted. I'm sure part of it is applying the flavorings by drops assuming 20 drops = 1 ml but I'm thinking now that it may be off. I'm going to calibrate my drops for my next mix!
