I've spent 2 years trying banana flavors. Non of them work well at high percentages. Tfa ripe banana is a terrible flavor. It tastes like spicy garbage. If you want realistic banana flavor try molinberry soft banana. Also, your percentages are too high. Start with small amounts of each flavor.

THIS - jbalk1 is so right... Banana is tough. I agree about MB Soft Banana being the best, with PUR Banana coming in at 2nd place.

9.6% is a ton of ripe banana. Try 1.5-2%

Do you think i need to use sweetener like CAP super sweet. I want my flavor to be sweet just right. And also will the flavors i use give sweetness if no sweetener used?

Also i am testing the % around. I know that 9.6 of tfa ripe banana is overpower but i want a very noticeble banana.

I would say .5 to 1 percent on the ripe banana if used with la banana cream. If coming from commercial liquid yes you need sweetener.

Try 4 banana cream 1 banana ripe 2 Mango and 1 super sweet. If you overpower that banana then add Mango you may end up with banana peel. Love banana and banana Mango is great except when it is not.

From the looks of the recipe, the bananas are probably going to overwhelm the mango. Definitely dial down those bananas!

Personally I’m a fan of ATF over ELR. And it’s free now. Less junk and clearer data archives. Layout is easier to use. Since I sell what I mix, I like that it give me cost of mixes as well. That’s also nice for personal reasons just getting off commercial, you can see how much you’re saving by mixing for yourself.

Far as banana flavours go, try WF banana purée. Seriously the best shit. Not heard of anyone not liking that.
Allot of ppl go crazy for VT banana custard but I got a weird note from it idk.

I doubt you have all the flavors if your new to DIY, but this this is the banana flavor I found and made recently, and it's pretty good.

La banana cream is pretty potent though. I use it at 1% in mixes

After some long research (as a newbie), I finally came out with Banana. I mixed it today and I think I like it. It will need some time to steep. I mix and vape it right away and tasted kind of good. I will sit this out and vape it again in a week.

The VG/PG ratio is 55/45

By the way, I use the LA Banana Cream (Colored) just because I like how it kind of give flare to the liquid.
