Yea, best thing I’ve managed so far is 3% Choc. Fudge Brownie CAP with 2% Marshmallow CAP. Deeeeeelicious!!! I have several others brewing but I keep having to tweak them. Basically make a “best guess” blend, wait a week and tweak. Rinse and repeat. I’m finding patience is absolutely imperative, sadly a skill I’m woefully inadequate in. I’ve decided instead to rely on my defeatist skills. These skills have been honed to perfection over many years of rigorous use. Basically I just throw the bottle in a drawer and think…“F it, I’ll find it later…” lol
Same here, I tried some posted recipes that had great ratings but guess my taste buds are sensitive or something. One recipe I tried, called for 12% in different strawberry flavors plus other add-ins and I thought I was gonna die. I might as well vape battery acid out of my car lol.
I think it’s fruit flavors that really get to me. Gotta be something to do with the acidity in them cause I can barely handle them at ~1%.
Yeah, I have 3 or 4 recipes I absolutely love at first vape. They were mixed in the last couple weeks though so steeping will tell the tale. I have a blueberry yogurt with almond that blew my mind at first vape. I plan to test a few mixes this weekend and I hope to look as blissful as our cutie pie Alisa here. But I’m not taking a pic of my ugly ass
the only difference between a shop bought liquid and one you will find on here is a fancy label and a hefty price tag! the key is really to find a recipe you like or a mixer you like and be accurate when mixing yourself (mix by weight) also high quality base liquids really play a key role source yourself good nic pg and vg and it will be all sunshine and rainbows
yeah when i first started i went down the road of whats cheapest such a bad move sometimes my mixes were like vaping sandpaper! now i go for the pharmaceutical grade and its really not so much more expensive and the nic plays a big part too it can really affect flavor imo
To the OP I just had that happen two days ago. I was trying to clone a amazing juice I got at the Phoenix vape expo (ADV GOLD). It is a chalky minty Mojito flavor. I mixed up my best guess and was not even close, I ended up making Lemon head candy, and it is great. Been vaping it for two days and I love it. All the guys at work are begging for me to make them some.
As for the DIY stuff not tasting good. I have only been mixing for a few months, so my knowledge is limited. I get all my stuff from heartland vapes. I don’t know if they are better or worse then anybody else as it is the only place I have ever purchased from. When my friends and I went to the vape expo we all agreed the stuff I am making (not my recipes at the time) was better then 95% of the stuff people were selling there.
I was referring to better more concentrated flavors. It turned things around for me. I do know what you mean about good nic too. Bad nic costed me plenty also.
I’m sure we didn’t get all the good flavors, but there are a lot of good ones in there. The good part is when you see something you like you can just add it to your shopping list for now or for later.
