Hi,
So I finally decided to try out making my own juice, mainly to save costs and because I enjoy the art of creation as a whole
.
I did a lot of reading, both here and on a few other sites for research and learned that fruity flavours are supposed to be easier to work with so my first DIY batch includes:
- TFA Kiwi Double
- TFA Peach
- TFA Pear
- TFA Marshmallow
- TFA Bavarian Cream
- 36% mg/VG Nic, PG & VG
- Emptied 30ml glass bottles and a few varied smaller ml plastics
I chose those flavours specifically because I enjoyed juice I've bought/vaped with those flavours.
I added the Bavarian Cream to experiment with since it's in a lot of the recipes I came across.
Started with the Kiwi on it's own at around 7% in a 10ml bottle @ 3mg.
Did a quick shake and gave it a go after it settle down.
Besides the prominent(or is it harsh?) Kiwi taste, it didn't taste too good or as smooth as the juice I had bought. I presumed it was because it hadn't steeped for long enough but aren't fruities not supposed to require that much steeping? It's been almost a week and I tried it again today and it's more or less the same.
2nd DIY mix was a recipe(that I enjoyed) from a friend with Pear 7% Marshmallow 5% @ 3mg 20ml glass bottle. I made sure I made this one with as much precision as I could since it was a bigger bottle, gave it a hot bath and shake afterwards before leaving it in the drawer overnight. Tried it the next day and it more or less feels the same as the Kiwi, though not as harsh(suppose the Kiwi is stronger). Both smell like the juice I had vaped before but taste is off. All mixes were at 65/35 VG/PG.
My Q is this harsh taste expected in the first few days? I wasn't expecting to be wowed just yet but I feel like something is wrong. The colors are also a bit too clear compared to most similar juices.
Now, before I continue experimenting further, some advise on what I could possibly be doing wrong would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance and great forum. Though I don't participate a lot, I've been consuming a lot of information through all the discussions, learning quite a bit in the process.
PS. If you have any other combinations I can try out with my flavours, please share/suggest and I will play around with them.
