It tastes OK, but does not have the full flavor some of the major brands have. What can i do to improve flavor?
It would help if you were to list a recipe that you're having trouble with...
all FW 70/30 Mix 9% Banana Strawberry 8% Blueberry Graham Waffle 5% Mango 4% Madagascar Vanilla 4% Marshmallow
That looks like too much going on for sure. I'm not familiar with each one, but me, I would for sure cut down on everything, except for ban-straw maybe. I might would even cut out the BGW, but that's only my taste. I try to think about it the same way i would if cooking a dish, or mixing a drink. Do all these go together? To me that one doesn't belong. But maybe it does for someone else! The mango and vanilla are pretty strong by themselves, and marshmallow too high tends to mute other flavors over time. So, I would do this:
9% Banana Strawberry
3% Mango
2% Madagascar Vanilla
2% Marshmallow
Ha! I just put this in my calculator to try soon! Good luck, and try staying under 20% for sure, to get something that will (hopefully) hold up over time.
All of my recipes are ok but just doesn't grab your pallet, flavor is ok but is not strong
In my experience, it's very easy to over do it and put too much flavoring, which causes muted flavors and everything jumbling together. Different companies' concentrates vary greatly in strength. FA, FLV and INW are generally much more concentrated than TFA, FW or CAP, resulting in much lower percentages of flavor.
Try posting an individual recipe you feel is lacking and we can probably give you more specific input as to how to fix your problem.

I don't have any experience with FW, but my suggestion to you is cut all your flavoring percentages in half and try that, if it is too weak start working your way back up. You will be surprised how much flavor you can get out of low percentage mixes!
The degree of flavour concentration I want depends on how I'm vaping it. My girlfriend uses a nautilus mini and gets through a couple ml a day. I subohm on RTA/RBA and get through 10ml minimum a day, and I tone it down for my juice as I don't want my senses assaulted with every puff.
I just ramp up the overall flavour % a bit for her, without going over the top and maintaining the relative flavour ratios. Takes a bit of testing at first but once I have it down that's it.
It really really depends on the mix you're working at the moment. I have one Strawberry Milkshake that has 0 taste between 10 and 20% (yup, I have made all of those %), but at 22% it really shines. To perfect a recipe you need to spend a lot of time experimenting. It comes down to that.
