Nicotine Brands

Maybe it's me being a noob at DIY. I mixed my first batch of juices. Just single flavours at 5%. All TFA flavours. Mixed 50ml of each with 3mg nic strength. Been vaping them for about 2 weeks and although some of the flavours were very light, I could taste them. Now in the past 3 days, they've all gotten extremely harsh and peppery to the point where I can't taste the actual flavour. Does the nic go bad so quickly in DIY juices?

My first guess would be that your wick or coil(s) needs replacing. Alternatively you could be suffering from vaper's tongue.
Did you try some commercial juice in the same tank?

The nicotine in your juice and commercial juice is the same stuff.

Yeah, commercial juice in the same tank vapes perfect.

The PG will have a harder throat hit.

Damn! Never knew this! I received Prime nicotine PG in my DIY kit from BLCK Vapour, and I was wondering what the difference is between VG and PG based nicotine. Next time I order from them, I’ll go for Gold VG nic.

Can anyone recommend the amount of PG nic I should be adding to my mixes to avoid the throat hit? I’ve been mixing 3mg but I should probably add less?

@Carnival and @X-Calibre786 , my first mixes were also at 3 mg and was it was unvapeable due to the pepper taste, and I tried more than one nic brand. I dropped to 2 mg and started getting my nic from Vaperite, their branded bottle but manufacturer unknown, and have mixed up to 6mg for people with no pepper taste, and yep, I tasted for myself. Don’t know why this happens when mixing, as other mixers use the ones I hate due to raste, and they rave about it.

Moral of the story, try them all and try different strengths as well. Hoping you too will find the perfect one for you.

I’ll give Vaperite’s nic a go! Thank you @Room Fogger
