Any experienced mixers willing to give some advice?

I'm new to mixing, I'm trying to make some good tasting flavors,but they all seem very sharp.
For instance, I use a 30PG-70VG base, I add peach. (using e-juice me up calc) but it's still lacking something, its very sharp and unnatural. I'm sure this is just the lacking addition of something I don't know how to use yet, can anyone help please? I mix mostly fruit flavors, with very limited success. (I know its not what it could be)
Ive tried coffee, I have a 30 ml bottle of a blend called "Lotta Latte" which due to my lack of mixing skills is still rendered totally useless. Im thinking maybe a cream flavor? Graham cracker? ANY help here would be greatly appreciated.

What make are these concentrates, and what percentages are you using them at? Some concentrates are just bleh right off the bat, but some come into their own at the right percentage!

The ones Im working with now, are Lor Ann; Mango, peach, butterscotch, and cotton candy. Bottle notes that its highly concentrated. These are new aquisitions, but I have experimented with the Peach starting at 15%

I make very small batches. I have my base of 50/50 PG/VG in a 20cc bottle, and my flavors in the same kind of bottles. That way the drop size should be the same. I count drops into a new/clean smoketech RBC tank. I usually start with 19 drops base and one drop flavor (that would come to 5% flavor) let it mix and sit and soak into the wick and try. If it needs more I add a drop and retry until it is good. After I think I have a good mix I still make small batches of 5cc and share with friend.

Start at 5% flavor and move up or down from there... 15% or lorann is gunna be brutal.

Sounds like way too much flavor, which will give you a nasty taste! Here's a speadsheet which has some useful percentages. Some are way off, but some are good. At least it gives you a ballpark (although I know that for many of the FlavorArt flavors it's useless):

i'd even go as low as 2-4% for lo peach..

here, try this:

4% lo peach
1% lo butterscotch

it should give you a sweet peach low note butterscotch vape
