Huge problem about flavor harshness(again)

Hello! I made a post a while back about some flavors being harsh. Recently i bought some bombo flavors and a dinner lady core (mango orange passion fruit). I mixed them all with VG base and 20ml VG Nic
Here is a “detailed” mix list
Bombo Strawberry Lemon Ice (60ml):
15ml conentrate (PG)
20ml Nic (VG) 6mg
25ml base(VG)
VERY smooth, can drag around 2 sec puffs without any throat irritation
Bombo Razz Ice (60ml):
15ml conentrate (PG)
15ml Nic (VG) 6mg
30ml base(VG)
EXTREMELY smooth but has a wierd raspberry flavor more like raspberry harribo
Bombo Cherry Ice (60ml)
15ml conentrate (PG)
15ml Nic (VG) 6mg
30ml base(VG)
Very harsh on the throat flavor is good but its borderline unsmokable
Bombo watermelon strawberry ice (60ml):
15ml conentrate (PG)
15ml Nic (VG) 6mg
30ml base(VG)
Normal harshness but the flavor is WAY off tastes like lamb over coals in the Easter (for my greek friends)
Bombo Double Melon (60ml)
15ml conentrate (PG)
20ml Nic (PG) 6mg
25ml base(VG)
Same harshness as the cherry ice good flavor
Bombo Vanilla Biscuit (60ml):
15ml conentrate (PG)
20ml Nic (PG) 6mg
25ml base(VG)
THE MOST unmokable of them all due to a tiny bit of smoke makes me have a cough attack
2 steamcity flavors both very harsh same mix
Steamtrain All aboard (grape apple ice 60ml):
15ml conentrate (PG)
20ml Nic (PG) 6mg
25ml base(VG)
Very harsh good flavor
FINALLY
Dinner lady Core Mango Orange Passion (60ml)
20ml conentrate (PG)
20ml Nic (PG) 6mg
20ml base(VG)

Note my device is a Geekvape L200 and i use only the 0.4ohm coils at 40-60W
All the flavors were given at least 2 days of steeping time and the Vanilla Biscuit was given another 2 weeks without changes to harshness
What might be the problem? I can only smoke like 2-3 of my flavors pleasurably even though they have the same nic and being from the same company (most of them)
I am new to the whole vaping and DIY liquid scene so sorry for any confusion!

Could it also be the ICE in it? but some of the ice ones are way smoother

The first 4 of your mixes should come out at 75vg/25pg which should be okay but maybe you are finding 6mg nic strength too harsh.

The latter 4 mixes youve used pg nic so the ratio is more like 33vg/66pg which would be too harsh for most people to vape.

Yeah i understand but the razz and the strawberry ice that are 6mg are VERY VERY smooth which is weird considering the others are not

Have you typed your above recipes into the elr calculator? If you do you can use 70/30 VG/pg. The more pg you use the harsher the flavour.

have you tested the nicotine all by itself, flavorless?

you might just have alot of sensitivities to certain compounds
cherry is a tough one for a lot of people, and the other harsh recipe it may be some of the diketones.
Melon is unusual however

you may want to call your parents and berate them for doing this to you

Yes. 70/30 is perfect. And yes try another make of nic. I presume you are using the tank that came with the L 200. It’s the only stock coil tank I use because the flavours very good (others are rta’s). I prefer the 0.2 ohm coils though. Kept burning cotton on the 0.4s
