Hello all!
New to POTV but been lurking a fair few months now. Time for me to step out of my lurkers cave lol!
I have been dipping my toes into the world of DIY juice making. It's fair to say that I have got a long way to go until I even remotely consider my juices vapeable
Every juice I've made has either come out bland, harsh, too strong or just plain vile.
I've managed to come up with the following:
I have ordered some sweetener and 'smooth' concentrates from Dark Star, along with more VG/PG liquids to see if it is perhaps the materials I'm using. Also hoping the Smooth liquid will help my peppery lung burning death liquid become a magical tasty vape experience...I'm not holding my breath though
I guess this was just me thinking (typing) aloud in the hopes one of you lovely people might be able to give me some tips for mixing my own juice. I am slowly losing the will to continue, as I'm wasting more than I'm saving at the mo!!
Thank you for reading my essay!

I've managed to come up with the following:
- One or two batches this is likely because I just don't like the flavour concentrate I used - fine, I expected that to happen. Can't like every flavour!
- Too much flavour concentrate (bottle recommends between 10-25% - that's a massive jump). Started at low % then worked my way up but somehow still seemed to jump from too weak to too strong? Maybe I need to do a few small batches with different % then leave to steep?
- Poor nicotine quality. Tried 2 different brands now and still get a harsh peppery feeling in my throat. Too much maybe? (Even though I am using an e juice calculator and adding as per the recipe/measurements).
- Poor quality base liquids/concentrates...I find this hard to believe as I used Decadent Vapour mixers and concentrates. Also used big juice concentrate too and had same issues.
- Coil needed changing - nope new coil didn't sort it so pretty sure it's not that. Same coil was fine with premade juices I'd bought from other vendors.
