Have mixed too strong?

[SJvape]

Hi apes, this is my first time diying from scratch.

I've got this recipe by tasting flavours drop by drop to see of they will mix well.*



As you can see by my percentages i believe to be right, but after mixing, i gave her a two hour warm water bath (in a slow cooker, set to low), two hour breathe and an overnight steep.

Apon trying it this morning, the flavour is very muted. Smells great, very fruity but i can barely taste anything.

Would i need to steep it longer? Or dilute it down?

I read this morning that 'less is more' and im concerned I've overdone it.

*actual vg/pg ratio is 69/31. Due to using pre mixed 85/15 vg/pg

Thanks apes

Looks fine. I should give it a few days then see how you like it. If it tastes watery/thin at that point, 0.5% Ethyl Maltol should thicken up the fruits and if it isn't sweet enough, 1-2% TFA Sweetener should revive it.

Lol! I'm a million miles away from being a diy guru bud. I have learned a few lessons from gallons of juice poured down the sink however. When I started out, blindly throwing together fruit recipes that I pulled out of my ass, they all had a very watery/thin taste. When I eventually started adding EM to them, it brought out the fruit flavours incredibly. The juices were still shit, but I had discovered the enhancing effect of EM on fruits.

After 5 days steeping, its come out great! Very simular to pinkman if im honest. Struck gold on this one

Great when that happens !

Glad the flavour came through for you.
Lots of debate about steeping, even with fruits I stick with the leave it alone principle, let the magic work itself, don't artificially hurry it.
Patience is key and another controversy is lid on or off. I alway keep lid on after trying both ways, vigorous shake every day and and leave it alone.

Agree with @mannikon. There's no question that fruit mixes change over the first few days to a week. Even those that are perfectly vapable S&V still change and some like Inawera raspberry can take 3 weeks to start to come into their best, I find. Most fruit juices benefit from a week in the cupboard.
