Erika Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ok. So i used 3.5 mls of vg and added 25 drops of caramel 7 drops of amaretto 6 drops rasberry 10 drops marshmallow This smells awesome! Tastes great on my finger. Doesnt taste like anything when i vape it. I totally flew by the seat of my pants. I am pretty good in the kitchen in general. Is that just not enough flavoring?

Brian Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Let it steep over night, or a few days and give it another taste. It tends to be better after it brews over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Also, estimating your drops to ML, looks like you're pushing about 40% flavoring. That may be a little to stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Yes except it has no taste when vaping at all. Tasted it on the tip of my finger and it is yummy! Edited to add. Oh and the drops were from an 18 gauge syringe. Probably half of a drop from a pipette. Edited February 27, 2011 by Erika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Oh and by steeping, do you mean with the cap off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Oh and by steeping, do you mean with the cap off? I hear that it'll go faster with the cap off, but I usually just let them set over night with the cap on. Either way. Odd that it has no taste. Can you tell approx. how much flavor % it is? Hard to tell by using drops... can vary so much in size depending on the dropper. What flavorings are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erika Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Loranns flavoring. 1 ml of flavoring to 3.5 mls of vg. Maybe the vg is killing the flavor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliery Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I have noticed that sometimes you can use so much flavoring that it is overkill...you literally kill the flavor by having too much. It is like when you bake....if you add twice as much rum and vanilla extract it doesn't make a cake MORE vanilla or MORE rum....it just ruins it. Nina, Sharon and I have noticed this with certain flavors and getting double and triple shots....some are fine, others it just kills the flavor. Like that saying....sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. More is NOT always better. Sometimes too much just destroys it....seems weird, but you really can have so much flavor that your taste buds just can't taste it at all and it tastes like nothing. I have had it both ways....flavors that taste GREAT on my lip/tongue but taste like nothing or yuck vaping....then others that don't smell or taste like much but vape them and they are GREAT. Lots of trial and error for sure!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
