Introduce Yourselves:

Hi, I have been attempting to mix my own flavours for the last 2months, but it seems that the recipes that are highly rated have no flavour at all. I have been trying a bunch of TFA recipes, all with almost no flavour.

Looking around on the internet, some people indicate that this may be due to vapours tongue.

I don't think this is the case, as I taste the premuim liquids without the flavour dissapearing.

Any advice on how to correct this?

Welcome to the forum @Bosvark !

Interesting problem, I'm not a DIY'er so have limited input here for you, but for me three possibilities come to mind.

1. What is your setup and what are the juices? It is possible that the juice is designed for a specific build or setup, like serious high-wattage vaping, that might not come out at all in an EVOD.

2. Where and when did you get your concentrates from? Perhaps they are poor quality (no name brand or poor storage conditions) or very old, in which case they may have lost a lot of flavour?

3. Are you sure you're mixing at the right percentages? I had no head for numbers when I did DIY, and would get mixed up between millilitres and percentages all the time. Are you fairly certain you are accurately recreating the recipes?

Head on over to this thread and ask the veterans...

Just tag the likes of @Andre @rogue zombie or @RichJB and I'm sure one of them will have some suggestions for you!

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

1. I use a smok alien, with baby beast tank.
I have tried multiple recipes at 15-20% concentrate.

2.I bought it from a store near me(do not want to mention names on a public forum).I use a scale to weigh up my mixes. So I am 100% confident that it is mixed correctly.

Thanks, I will use that thread.

Extremely puzzling. I presume you have bought TFA concentrates? Not just local concentrates of the same flavour? If so, where did you get your recipes from and which recipes are we talking about? What category of juice do you prefer?
 
Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes TFA Concentrates bought f4om local vendors.

I het my recipes from 99juices, fumonoid, this forum and the e-liquid recipes app.

I have posted the last three recipes I have tried here. I enjoy fruity mixes, but like some of the dessert flavours as well, like strawberry milk etc.

Jip, saw your other post. I am still stumped. A universally popular fruity vape is the Monster Melons clone here. What VG/PG ratio do you use?

Ello,

Sherry here, been smoke free since March. Started vaping in Dec, but smoked cigarettes in between, till I got admitted to hospital. Did a bit of an experiment with re to vaping and smoking.
I was in high care, with all sorts of monitors connected. one measuring oxygen percentage in the body.
Mine was sitting on 90%. I decided to disconnect from monitors, using a bathroom break as an excuse, to go have my last cigarette. When I got back, besides being out of breath, my oxygen level had DROPPED to 87%.

The following day, the oxygen levels got better, so I decided to vape IN hospital, still connected to the monitor, and see what happens.
My Oxygen levels remained between 99 and 100% WHILE VAPING.

Needless to say, that was my que to quit the tobacco.

The problem I'm sitting with now, is finding juice I like. I have two brands that have NEVER disappointed, and that's Paulies and Orion, but I can't keep on The Belt and Coffee cake for the rest of my life :expressionless:

I bought two bottles last week Friday, from two different suppliers, and
I ABSOLUTELY HATE it, threw one bottle out, the other I'm rushing through just to get it gone.

Any suggestions?
