Making your own eliquid

[kjthomas82]

Hi all [emoji112]

I've tried making my own juice 70/30 and there's no taste. What am I doing wrong and where am I going wrong? Feel like giving up.

I've tried lemonade, grape, jam and toast, peaches and cream, rice crispies and others.

Everything tasteless.

Any ideas please?
Thanks guys
Kim

What make of concentrates are you using and what percentages/recipes of them have you used?

 

[Mr Numpty]

Sorry, didn't notice where you had posted it.

 

[kjthomas82]

I use TPA concentrates. Concentrate % ranges from 8-20% depending on the recipe

Oh, I don't know, I just saw that you had posted in a specific vendor's place after I posted so felt stupid for asking what concentrates you were using, assuming it must be theirs.

I started out with TPA concentrates and couldn't get a single decent juice out of them. Made the switch to FlavourArt and have been laughing ever since. You might need to add Ethyl Maltol to fruit type juices to bring them out, or sweetener, or they might need a bit of a steep. Certainly 20% shouldn't be tasteless.

Thanks for that. I'm gonna go have a look now. Do you know of any decent recipes I could try? I'm new to all this and need a little help. Thank you [emoji4]

I'm told that TPA Strawberry 6% with TPA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 8% is very good, if you like that kind of thing.
