Thanks for the replies so far.
Problem is I can't sample from multiple places, 100ml would last me a while, so it would take ages to get through all the vendors, although I would like to try myself but it's just not feasible.
I use JV247 for most of my concentrates.
I don't know if VG/AG would be right for me, I tend to make 60 or 70PG blends.
I'm also making 18mg, I don't think 12mg is strong enough for me at the moment, and I have used 18mg and 20mg with no peppery taste as pre made liquids. I could move down to 12mg but I find myself using more liquid and throat hit isn't enough, even drawing for about 8 seconds (iStick/Nautilus Mini 10w/ Aerotanks with NV coils 8w). Already using about 5ml a day at 18mg, 12 I'd use abit more id think.
Yeah I am steeping it's been just over 3 weeks since I mixed up a Mothers Milk clone and Dragons Blood, both have got the same taste, over the top of the other flavours.
When testing flavours I use just PG/VG mix and there's no sign of a peppery taste at all.
Personally I had looked at Piratesvape, but don't think I can't order until the 10th now.
It might not be the sign of bad/poor nicotine but it overpowers custards and fruit and doesn't make them an enjoyable vape.
