New homemade eliquid tastes harsh?

[nwhornet]

Are you vaping it straight away after mixing & shaking. If you're vaping it too soon after mixing it could be it needs a day or so to properly combine or it's not mixed thoroughly & the flavour/nic being PG is on top & that's what you're vaping.

Its defo not the nic or the VG as I use the same brand in short fills and I've vaped the vg on its own just to see and its smooth.

I was thinking it was the flavour.

Thanks for the help.

Ive let some stand from my previous batch and its still harsh, I even tried speed steeping in warm water to no avail

I'd test the conc for oil content.
Take an empty 10ml or so bottle and half fill with tap water.
Add 5-10 drops of your concentrate and shake.
Let it settle for 20 mins and see if theres any floating residues.
Any impurities will show themselves.

Just a though as with high vg content pg flavours & nic will sit on top. takes a hell of a shaking to get them thoroughly mixed.

I've just ordered from Vabable, new flavour concentrates

The stuff I was using was cheap but obviously crap.

If you're after plain fruits then mixing doesnt need to be complicated.
1.5% inawera blackcurrant is as simple as it gets but very true to taste.

What did you pick up?

 

[Kevstar]

I am after fruits, I've ordered summer fruits and forest fruits and some cola and banana milk shake to make up the order for free shipping.

All have good reviews

Nothing will speed steep. You just need time, ideally in a cool, dark place.

What does that skittles flavour taste like? If it has any citrus in it that could quite easily be the suspect. Some people find it very harsh.
