Mayday, juice down, help needed

[Mawsley]

1.
50/50 8mg
20% Gummy Bear
3% EM
Steeped for a week.

Tastes like arse


2.
50/50 8mg
20% Cherry
10% Caramel
5% EM

Tastes like arse

Do the numbers seem too large? Should I have put in sweetener?

It's all Capella I think or maybe a PA too.

Thank you x

I normally do 80/20, and have used cap gummy bear but at 15% with 2% em and it was ok, but not great.

my last batch, last friday, was a 60/40 and all of them have a wet sock aftertaste.

just by your numbers, and from reading and a bit of what i do and play with (which doesnt make me an expert), you seem to have too much flavouring.

It'll be good to hear from more knowledgeable mixers

Does seem a tad high for steeping to me - for what that's worth
Used to mix at that kind of percentage - they'd taste great the day i mixed them and then go drastically down hill

So if thee want to use straight away - do a days worth at that kind of % - if thee want to do a larger batch - try doing a small batch at half that - as me Nan used to say

"Thee can always add, but thee can't take out"

firstly did you use the super concentrate version of the EM as per @KMS recipe ?? if so only use 1 drop per 1 ml

 

[Mawsley]

Super conc EM, yep.

But I've read you can add loads of EM anyways so adding too much shouldn't matter too much?

My Banana Custard (20%20%) is awesome and the Rhubarb Custard (20%) is lovely. These are the only four I've tried today.

EM is a enhancer so maybe to much maybe destroy what your looking for in the lighter fruity flavours ( I may get corrected )

all of mine that I use EM in is only 1 drop per 1 ml

I aint mixed many fruity type of flavours but 7 days was never enough time for my taste. 1 went to 2 week in all now for all my Capella based mixes

also have you tried DDL with the caramel flavour that would be a better option than EM in my opinion.

Some capella flavours need sweetener due to the fact their not made for vaping

I'm guessing that'd be all the fruity/kids sweets ones except banana?
