Serious problem. Everything from a simple berry and cream to following cloned flavors taste great for a day or two after making. After the third day it just tastes like alcohol.
What did I do wrong?????
What did I do wrong?????
I got all my flavors from heartland vap . And from what I saw. Unless it's Capella all the bottles I get from them are from The Flavor Apprentice.
I make up large batches of flavor.
Example.
4% = 4 ml
After they are all together I add that whole flavor profile to the pg / vg mix at a 10 to 15% by volume.
10 ml bottle gets 1 to 1.5 ml of flavor
120 ml bottle gets 12 to 18 ml of that flavor profile.
I make it at a 3 nic
and the pg is 30% and vg is 70%
I put Nic first. Then flavor and finally the pg / vg mix and cook.
When doing something like dragon fruit I just pop that in the microwave for 5 seconds per 15 ml mix and shake and vape.
Whats funny is I do not drink anymore in fact I have had ummm maybe 4 drinks since 2000 maybe its those old days I rememberi got a dixie cup with your name on it MrScaryZ
Bacteria can cause glycerine to breakdown and fermentI think he is making bootleg ejuice I myself like the alcohol based flavors like HPNO but I admit I have never had this happen with any simple fruits maybe a fermentation.. how that would be bizzarre
Smoky Blue, what Red6 is saying when he says 4% = 4ml is that he is making 100ml bottles full (large quantities). 4% of 100ml = 4ml
that would be more like 10%
depending on your bottle size.. it would come out like this:
10ml bottle
would get 4% flavor
that is only!! .4ml not 4ml..
I'm with Amanda on this one. Make your mix, leave your caps on. Shake it like you mean it, and sample. Leave it to rest overnight, still capped. Sample again. I rarely heat steep anymore, though it does help complex recipes sometimes. I've become too lazy for it, lol. I never uncap anything unless I'm refilling.
Congrats to your daughter and all of ya! That's great stuff.
Truck driver? Bouncy? Hell, make em and take em with ya. That bouncing will steep em great. I'm not joking.
Sorry folks I was at my daughters band compition. They took 2nd in the USA in there class by the way.
No I haven't been able to make any more as of yet.
I was making small batches of 15 ml and everything turned out great. It was when nice made the large batches that things went weird.
Yes I am very new to the diy ejuice and was only doing things i read on this forum. Everything I read was put heat to the mix to speed up the steeping process.
I'm a truck driver and don't have the luxury of leaving the cap off and wait 2 to 3 weeks as I bounce down the road.
I'll try some more monday without the heat.
Thank you everyone.
This is just one of many reasons I like this forum. You can be as green as green can be and nothing but help comes to you.
we were just like you, red6.. some pick it up really quick, and others stumble, but eventually it starts to become a lot easier..
glad to see you posting.. keep asking questions!
