Need confirmation I know wtf I'm doing...

Thanks guys, few questions:

Made small Amoy TVs today 2x 10ml bottles to use one now and steep one, however...

- Of the 4 flavours I put in there there's only 1 shining through (not even the highest %). Should I adjust the % of flavours to lower it and + the others?

- The throat hit is significantly more than off the shelf juices, where did I go wrong?

No 2 flavours will be equal in strength or prominence, so you wana scale back 1% on stuff like absinth/nuts/anaseed/cranberry/rasberrys all stuff with prominent flavours other wize itll just over power your eliquid. As for harsh throught hit that sounds like high pg to me so maybe do a higher vg blend

There's raspberry in there too, will cut back the % in second attempt.

I know it's down to either:
- high pg
- too high % of flavours
- the nic

= I'm using a 70/30 mix which isn't too bad, so I am hoping it's not the PG content causing it.

= flavours are 20% total but I will need to adjust these to lower, maybe 10 or 15% total.

= My nic is VG based, and I'm only using 3mg. Could the nic in off the shelf juice which states 3mg be less... And now my 3mg feels too much?

Hmm thats strange tbh 70/30 you shouldnt be getting bad throught hit, have you started using a new setup that more powerfull? Could be nic but 3mg isnt much maybe nock up a small 5ml sample at 2ml see if it makes a diffrence

Same set up I've used for a while.

I'm going to make 2 small batches now. One with much less flavour and one with less nic. I will find the culprit.

 

[bmkvaper]

Just whipped up a batch with 2mg nic and much less flavour % (12%). Lowered % of all flavours by a touch. Very very slight hint of throat hit but unfortunately the flavours are gone. Great vapour production, just no taste.

I would say don't go crazy yet, flavours and the overall balance can change quite a lot over the first few days. That prominent raspberry (or whatever) backs right off and allows the other flavours to come through.

Patience...... is a pain in the butt.

Worth it when you get it right though

Schlinky is correct steeping and also some times if your getting a chemically taste off a juice, take off the lid for 24hrs so it can breath and the chemically taste disapates abit
