Raspberry Flavour

[anthonyb]

New to this part of the vaping experience. Concocted my first batch (raspberry) 3 weeks ago and with perfumers apprentice I've just added another ml. which puts me at about 25% on what started as a 60/40 at 10%. 10ml. tested it at 15% loads of vape, very strong smell of rasp. little to no taste. Will wait yet another week before next test. I love raspberry might have to buy some ready made while I wait.

Hi, I was chatting to KMS yesterday, about mixing and asking if the fact that I was using around 30% flavouring in my mixes seemed very high (albeit Capella), but it seems 30% flavour is fairly common. Perhaps someone with mixing experience, would be kind enough to give some rough guides to what %s they find work for strong final (steeped) flavour please? Apologies if I've missed this on a thread already.

I think there is a guide somewhere, sure I've seen one but can't find it again.

Personally now am @ 20% with 1 drop per ml of @kms super em crystal mix and steeping any longer in a couple of days the raspberry flavour is just muted

 

[anthonyb]

25% no good moving to 30%. it's getting close menthol time

 

[MadTz]

Have you added any sweetener or any else ??

 

[anthonyb]

No, I take it by that I should have done ?

Getting naffed off now. Added ethyl maltol to the now 30% mix. Have waited the obligatory week. Clouds of vape off the vmax/nova rig. Still almost nil flavor. Moving to 40%. This is PA by the way. Gonna go 1 more week, and if still no go gonna put the lot in.

Cancel that. threw the lot in anyway. about 50% now.

Ok I give up what did I miss.
It started at 60/40 at 10%, pg/vg, pg nic 52mg, PA's raspberry.
Been adding more and more raspberry over the weeks. Four days ago, after a weeks steeping at about 30% no flavor. Lobbed in the rest of the 10ml bottle, admittedly only 4 days ago. But still no sign of any flavor.
Have I missed something or is it time to bin it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Going back over my old flavour reviews I found that tpa raspberry was crap, perfumed and floral but not raspberry. I'd recommend a different brand (inawera, Capella or DV are all pretty good raspberries
