Strange one for you guys

[minime]

Iv been playing with a lime mix, I thought I'd cracked it so I put my Nic in the mix and omg it was very very harsh sort of like a dry hit. I thought my Nic had gon bad so I did a mix of my adv blackjack and it's fine in that does anyone have any ideas why.

[ceedee]

Any chance you forgot to add some VG?

What's the recipe?

[minime]

It's 4 % inawera lime, 4 % stevia and 2 % cap sugar cookie.

I mixed all this first with no Nic till I got the taste I wanted and was happy with, then I added the Nic and my was it harsh it made it unvaperble.

But the Nic is fine in my blackjack mix this is what is confusing me.

I am probably not the best person to give advice on this as I dont really use much nic, how long have you left the mix with nic before trying it? I would suggest a week at least to allow for it all to blend
Also what is the PG and VG mix?

[Bobsbeer]

I have used that lime, and usually mix 70/30 vg/pg with the lime at 18%. Nic at 6%. I don't usually add other ingredients. I have never had that type of hit. Prior to that I was doing the same at 50/50 and nic at 10%. My nic is pg based.

what is the total ML of the mix and how many ML of nic are you using? have you used a calculator to get the right mg's your after?

Blackjack is such a strong flavour I wouldn’t use it to test suitability/condition of nic

an easier test would be vape pg/vg at same mix then test with pg/vg and nic

So would I . . . . you've changed the balance of your mix adding nicotine, so you'll need to give it time to settle/blend again minime.

Yes always use aaec calc.
The first mix is 3 week old now and still unvaperble.

50/50 - 3mg mix

Nic =.4 ml
Pg = 3.6 ml
Vg = 5 ml
Lime = .4 ml
Stevia = .4 ml
Cap sugar cookie = .2 ml

[buggritt]

Either a bad coil. or you've buggered it up. Perhaps you put 4ml of nicotine in.

[minime]

No iv had it in 4 different tanks with new coils to rule that one out.

I defiantly only put .4 ml in the mix I'm very anal about the right quantities.

I've never had this issue and only use nic in juice I make for the missus,

Try a small pg/vg mix test if its ok solo, try again pg/vg and your nic (I suspect your nic as you mention the mix is fine without it)
If the nic and all else is fine then look at FA's MTS Vape Wizard or TFA's Smooth to get rid of the harshness, I have read people have used white vinegar 1 - 2 drops per 10 ml for the same effect.
