aufin Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Question for you DIY guys n gals. Is there a point in the mix percentages where the flavor starts going backwards.sent from my fancy doo dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXRich Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Don't know what you mean by flavor going backwards, but most people say the higher the PG the more flavor. The amount of flavor depends on the flavor used, in the case of coffee I only use 6%, other flavors I use as much as 25%. I try to stay about 20% flavor, but sometimes you will need a little more sometimes a little less. It all depends on what you like. I don't believe there is a set amount especially when using multiple flavors in a mix. Edna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufin Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Backwards=flavor getting worse instead of better. Don't care for the hit/harshness of very much pg. Maybe 10% so it won't be too thick. Trying to compensate for the lower pg with more flavor doesn't seem to be working. Or ..... my taste buds are just plain shot. Been almost 3 years now, and I have yet to land on a flavor to get excited about. sent from my fancy doo dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried lots of different PG/VG ratios, and have settled on 30PG/70VG, but that's me. After close to 50 years of smoking my taste buds are pretty much shot, its something I have to except, but have to add they are slowly coming back after 4 years of vaping. only time can repair the damage done to taste buds from smoking.

aufin Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Seems we're both pretty much in the same situation. Abused my taste buds for 50 yrs. as well. Guess it's payback time. As long as my mixes don't taste like soap, I consider it a success. sent from my fancy doo dad Edna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VapeMama Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I generally mix at 40PG/60VG or 30PG/70VG. I have found most flavors are good at 20-25%. Most of my mixes are satisfactory. Had a few duds but hey it's bound to happen! Edited October 21, 2016 by VapeMama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best carmel? sent from my fancy doo dad Hi, I like the green apple from TFA and for caramel I have been using CAP. though I'm not 100% sure it's the best but it does work well when I use it with double dark chocolate to bring out the flavor and make it smoother. IMHO. Of course it all depends what you're after. I like a more tart apple flavor and then I can add sweetener to taste. I tried another apple and it was way too sweet for me...I forget what brand it was though sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aufin Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Trying to mimic the flavor that got me off cigs 3 yrs ago ....... Johnson creek's autumn crisp. Seems to be a green apple/carmel. sent from my fancy doo dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cany Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) With some less flavor% is better I was hooked on a B&M Butter scotch/Caramel/Hazelnut mix I cant replicate it So I mix all 3 flavors alone Then I add them to my tank individually till I get the flavor I want after a while you know how much of each too add Does this make sense??
