Ick aftertaste
submitted almost 11 years ago by Purplemedic

So I mixed a berry blend as a taster that I thought was great, so I mixed a 30ml bottle. I let it sit about a week and a half then filled my tank. The vape is excellent. Lovely blend of the different berries. Not too sweet. Love it! Until the aftertaste. It's kinda perfume-ish. Bitter and slightly metallic.

New wick. Good, but not new coil. Same wattage.

Any suggestions?

Your problem is too much flavor. In particular the blackberry. That is all.

^agreed. Recently made a blueberry cream that used blackberry to bring out the blueberry and make it fuller and at 2% it overpowered the blueberry

That's kinda what I figured. I really like the blackberry, but it is strong. Back to the mixing table. (oh, darn)

Yeah, I'm sorry. I suffered a temporary cranial rectal inversion. I'm 26 hours into my shift. I'll post the recipe as soon as I get home.

How many mls was the taster batch you made?

Again, I'm sorry I was an idiot when I first posted this. My tester batch was 5ml 30/70 3mg. Everything identical to the original.

All flavors are Flavor West

Blueberry 5% Blackberry 5% Raspberry 5% Strawberry 5% Bavarian Cream 2%

Any ideas?

Have you tried the flavors individually? I get an odd metallic taste from a few flavors that some other people seem to not pick up, might just be you. There's an ice cream flavor I tried that just tastes like pennies to me, no matter the concentration.

the problem is, it is very difficult to take minute measurements when you are mixing 1-5 ml testers, hell even 10 ml is hard to mix twice with the same results when you are using 5 flavors. I am just assuming since you said test batch you meant something small like that. I would test batch a recipe with that many flavors around 30 mls or even more.

Yeah, could be me. I'm measuring my flavors with a tuberculin syringe and a 20g needle. I might possibly have liberated it from work. It's gotta be spot on for measuring since its used for medication. But then, my eyeballs could need calibration too.

I also make what I call wild berry.

Blueberry 8% Raspberry 8% Strawberry 12% Tart and sour 0.1% Ice 0.5% (optional)

No funny taste, so maybe it's the blackberry. Or maybe the ice masks it. I'll just taste each one individually and see if I can find it.

Thanks for the suggestions.
