So I some DIY mixing extras to dilute my liquid on my last VM order.
I decided to try my own full mix this last weekend. Started out with a 10ml Blueberry sample. I was aiming for 70VG/30PG at 6mg.
I mixed in 0.5ml VM Blueberry concentrate (PG based) + 2.5ml PG to get my 3ml/30% PG at 5% flavour strength.
I then added 1.6ml of 36mg Nicotine in VG base + 5.5ml to get my 7ml/70% VG at 6mg total nicotine strength.
I then mixxed mixed mixed, carried it in my pocket for a day, left it on the dash of my car outside for half a day to let it heat, mix, and steep rapidly.
Upon further researching, I found that higher VG tends to mute flavours so I decided to try it before deciding how much to add. I loaded it up in my Subrank with RBA this morning, and boy was I on the money on the feel part from 12watts to 30watts, it was a great vape. I did notice the flavour was very mute though so I added 6 drops of concentrate to my subtank to get it to hopefully closer to 10% flavour concentration.
I'm quite chuffed with it as it is the most vapable thing I ever had in my Subtank and I'm thinking DIY from now on. The problem is that there is a bad chemical like aftertaste from it. which I don't like and it stays.
What am I doing wrong there and what can I do to fix it?
