Depends on brands, and specific flavors. Some are like that, while others are good either right away, or after a few days. Sometimes longer. At least, that's my experience.
Chemical tasting juice usually means either the juice needs steeping or that the flavor concentration is too high.
I went by the recommended percentages so this is normal then ? I only made them yesterday
Me, I'd definitely give them a day, or so. That's what I do, when I run across that.
If it is too much concentrate would adding more vg work ? I definately mixed the exact amounts up and used there recommended % flavourings some of them need a 6-10 week steep though the fruity flavours taste ok right away no chemical taste and used same nic vg and pg etc
Adding more VG will lower the flavor concentration, but will also lower the nic and change the PG/VG ratio.
Let it steep first before doing anything else.

Yer thats what i will do aslong as this is notmal and theres not something wrong with the juice i bought thats all i was asking
As said before, most fruity vapes are pretty much shake and vape, bakery, dessert vapes with creams or custards are usually gonna need anywhere from a few days to a couple of months steeping to really taste right.
Cheers
Also if a recipe calls for a specific flavor and you substitute it for the same flavor of another manufacturer, you would have to adjust the flavor amount.
I always start with 50% of the recommended %. At least the first time I use a juice. I tend to end up using the recommended % or higher or lower number. And that final % can be different for each juice recipe mixed.

Just wondering if a person's palette comes into play here as well? Some can't taste certain flavours as well as others can. Also from what I've been reading some people have much more sensitive palettes and can taste flavours at lower percentages than others. I personally find that after a period of mixing and tasting various juices many of the flavours seem to be slightly muted. I think sometimes you're nose and tongue just need a break. 
This happens to me, too. If I try and sample several in a short time, can't taste 'em. I'll generally sample maybe 2 at a time, because of it.
