I am really struggling with my nic base. No matter what I mix up, I always have that horrible ashtray aftertaste in my mouth. Not liking it. I don't know whether this is because I have 72mg nic base,or, do different nic bases taste different depending on the brand? Would changing to another brand at same strength help, or would lowering it to a 54 or 52mg strength help?

that's strange is the nic base new ? different to what you normally use ? i do think different makes have different taste but dropping your 72mg to 54mg or 52mg wont change its flavor

That's what I thought punisher the strength of base shouldn't affect it. That's why I wonder if different brands taste different. I haven't used any other nic base as this is my first go at mixing. I am two thirds down the bottle and wondering whether to buy elsewhere or just stick with it as it won't make any difference where I buy.

I find I suffer similar with heavy PG mixes , plus throat hit gets stronger & stronger so im always adding VG to liquids to make them easier on throat/ mouth
I really need to pull my finger out and try mixing, nearest I have got is tampering with brought liquids

do your mixes have anything in common like stavia or a sweetener ?other than the nic or what vg and pg are you using it has to be some thing they all have in common is ther an underlying taste in your mix or just the aftertaste

They are all very different mixes punisher. Cherry pie, menthol, strawberry,peach and cream, Pernod So all very different but all have the same ashtray aftertaste. I have used three different sweeteners and still same results. stevia, TPA sweetener and another one I lost.

punisher is right ... lots of things could be attributable as part of the mix. Including % strength of flavour Post a recipe that you are getting this from. Also where did you get your nic / pg / vg ?

I mix 50/50 at the moment.

i would start with the normal 70/30 for my first mix and try a couple of different mixes maybe a basic menthol then see if you get an aftertaste try a mix with as little different concentrates so we can eliminate things if you mix has 4 or 5 its harder to work out which

Also where did you get your nic / pg / vg ? I got all my stuff apart from flavourings from FRogster in his mixing starter kit a few weeks back. All mixes are 20- 25% Even my simplest ones have this taste ie strawberries and ream and peaches and cream are merely Capella flavours with just a couple of drops of sweetener in. I have to say the cherry pie one we talked about last night is less ashtray though
