Wee bit of help needed

[garry71]

Bought a load of vg , pg flavourings and all the bits and pieces from the alchemists cupboard every flavour tastes decidedly chemically I washed everything twice thinking it maybe coming from the bottles even bought flavours from a different source thinking they were the problem, steeping for up to 4 weeks makes a bit of difference but not a whole deal , I was quite up for diy mixing but this has burst my bubble any pointers would be appreciated thanks

What flavours were you using?
What percentages/ amounts of conc were you using?
What recipes??
Nic level???

 

[Jugg1es]

What flavours and what percentages are you using

 

[garry71]

To be honest I've tried various percentages of vg pg and raised and lowered the percentage of flavourings even changed coils in case this was the problem , using elkowool instead of organic cotton helps a bit the only vapable concoction has been a lemon and lime flavour but even that isn't great most the flavours are capella but bout some other ones when I thought it may be them that caused the problem , maybe its just trial and error and I've not stuck at it enough

 

[Jugg1es]

What brand are the favouring

 

[garry71]

Capella

 

[Jugg1es]

You want to be aiming for roughly %15 with cappela on single flavours. How's your Nic? Does it smell funny/ peppery to taste (obviously I mean in the juice don't take a taste of it) what Nic level are you aiming for

I was at 18mg but only really use sub tanks or a turbo at push so dropped down ( which isn't a bad thing :-) ) I keep all the liquids in a cool place maybe just got a bad batch of one of the liquids I had high hopes of being self sufficient just a bit deflated , its all sat for a few weeks because o got disheartened but I'd like to get it right even just so I feel better about my mixing abilities ;-)

 

[garry71]

Dropped to 12mg could this be the problem? Too high nic level?

 

[EmbraSewerRat]

My mate just got a subtank and has had to drop his nic from 18 to 6mg. So that might be one thing.

My first few goes with DIY werena too impressive, but have sussed a couple of recipes that work just peachy for me. Nothing too complicated, but no too bad.
