I am doing something wrong...I just dont know what exactly
submitted about 10 years ago by MRChuckNorris

So i will mix a 50/50 3 or 5 mg single flavor starting at 5%. I can taste it on the first hit of dripper but then BAM its gone. Lots of vapor and no dry hit taste but the actual flavor is gone. This is straight shake and vape but i find even the multi flavor stuff i steep for a week is around the same? Thoughts? I mix the shit out of it using a clamp and jig saw as well.

Depends what flavor you're using.

5% of a potent flavor will lead to vaper tongue fast. 5% of a weak flavor may only be aroma you're smelling and not actual tasted flavor.

TFA Marshmellow in the case of the 5%. I tried Sweet Watermellon at 15% and much better.

I would not expect much at 5% with marshmallow. More of an accent note.

Try Toasted Marshmallow instead of just Marshmallow.

I'll have to go look it up to be sure but I have a watermelon recipe. It taste more like a tootsie roll pop than just watermelon but its only two flavors.

Edit: So its actually three ingredients but you dont really have to use the sweetner. I just use it cause i like it super sweet. 1% is way too much and im gonna go down over time. The sweetener will kill the other flavors pretty quickly so keep that in mind. I make like 30-100 ml of this at a time dependent on if any of my friends are vaping it.
I mix at 70 vg 30 pg and i use Nude Nicotine for Nicotine always(the argon stuff). i mix at 4mg per ml nicotine. I just switched over to Bull City PG and VG but i have some stuff coming from Bulk Apothecary. The bull city PG VG is great. Its actually a little less dry than the Nude stuff, to me anyway.

Capella Sweet Watermelon 4% Capella Double Watermelon 3% Sweetener(sucralose) FA(i think) 1%

I personally always use two of the same fruits to make a recipe. A little trail and error is all that is needed.

Marshmallow is mostly used as a sweetener. Doesn't really have any flavor itself.

Make sure when you plug in your weights to ejuicemeup (if you're using it) that your inputs are as follows (somebody correct me if I am wrong here):

1.0 Nic 1.0 Flavoring (Won't be exact for every flavor but no worries) 1.036 PG 1.249 VG 1 Water/PGA/Vodka

If you're not plugging in the correct weight for your VG, you can end up with less VG than you actually need and the flavor becomes super concentrated. I learned this myself on my first couple of mixes just thinking that "oh, this is what 30mls looks like! Vendors are so0o0o generous! (even though those slimey bastards charge $22 for a 30ml!)"

I use .1ml to mix. I calculates the weight automatically.

Do they not give 30/120ml in their bottles? I used an old 120ml bottle to make funfetti, when I was finished, there was hardly any room in there. I remember the bottle that I purchased had plenty of room at the top to shake it up though. I thought I added 10ml by accident or something.

Most "30ml" bottles can hold 35mls. At least in my experience. When they fill it up all the way for appearance its generally a few ml's over.

I mix by weight and i find that often i am fighting to just get the dropper in. When i was mixing by volume it almost seemed like way to little.

I use 7-10% total flavor for 2-3mg juice. You might be getting vapor lock from such a light flavor at such a light concentration too. Just not enough flavor for your nose.
