Still trying to get this right, help please

Do a quick 0% nic mix, see how that is. Costs you a single 10ml test mix to be 100% sure on the nic's guilt

Good idea as that'll isolate it.

[Mrsmac]

will do that this evening, thanks guys, so i just make the same mix but with no nic added?

[Perpetua]

How long are you actually leaving them before trying Mrsmac? - 1 week, 2 weeks or longer? Some flavours do take a time to be well infused with the other ingredients.

And yes, you make exactly the same mix, but with no Nicotine base added.

Perpetua i had 3 that were in the cupboard probably about 4-6 weeks that had to be binned. It is so hard to describe apart from they vaped and tasted yeasty lol.

Think i will try doing the no nic, i wont waste any more concentrate than i have already and that will help me narrow down where i am going wrong.

[Perpetua]

Is it just you that gets the taste, or your OH as well Mrsmac?

[Mrsmac]

i never got him to try any but will get him to sniff the one in the cupboard and report back...gimmie 5

[Perpetua]

Get him to vape them or try a dab on his tongue Mrsmac . . . that's the better way to check.

[Mrsmac]

He says he can smell it as well. I may also look at my syringes, i got some el cheapo ones off ebay but they are not smooth on the uptake, that may have had a difference but when bubba has gone to bed, i'm going to do some no nic mixes to at least see if that is ok and then add nic to see i that makes a drastic difference. Thanks for the help guys

Dab on the tongue??? never knew you could do that? lol would it taste like it is supposed to

[Ripshod]

I also noticed you've only sniffed at them? Very often things taste totally different to the way they smell

[Mrsmac]

Right, so I have done a no nic mix, I am currently testing using a mpt3 but would probably have been better off using a dripper as that would be closer to an rba

I upped the flavour a bit as one of them that I did try at 20% had a hint of flavour. Went up to 22 and now 25 and with my fatigued taste buds this tastes quite nice, again it's not a fair comparison as all juices taste different in the rba but I do remember it was quite flavoursome in the protanks and this is close...ish

I also mixed it at 60 40 pg/vg and this seems a better consistency than the 50/50 did

So I guess tomorrow, I try a mix at 25% flavour including nicotine! and leave it for a week and try. I know that steeping is recommended, but it just stumps me that in all honesty, when I receive a new juice, it lasts all of about an hour before I try it out, if it is good I vape, if it is bad I put it away and come back about a week or two later but mine doesn't taste no where near as good.

So it isn't the concentrate, will test the nic theory tomorrow and look for new syringes cause the ones I have the plastic is too thin for a smooth draw

I've a couple of own made mixes that smell so bad I baulk, but they vape fine.

T-Juice Green Steam is an example, the smell is beyond vile!! but the taste when vaping is grapes really.....nothing out of the ordinary winy, herby sorta thing? took me a fair while to see past the stink when I sniffed bottle!
