need help

Hi everyone, i want to asking about very very basic diy e-juice. sorry i'm really new about this.
how do i make thick flavor? are percentages of the total flavor affect the thickness? is nicotine making up the body of the e-juice?
i was tried mixing 3 batch/15ml without nicotine with pg vg 40/60 12%, 30/70 19%, 40/60 17%. I've tried all varying degrees of ingredient percentages and after steeping for 3-7 days, they don't really full flavor taste light and thin, have a tasteless exhale. last batch i got better taste inhale but still thin flavor.
flavor list: banana, banana cream, cheesecake graham crust, french vanilla, sweetener (all TFA)

are anyone here have a simple recipe from my stash?

Just add more flavoring with recording the amounts of each batch till you like it.

You can try using more PG as it can carry the flavors better for many people, myself included.
I use 70/30VG myself so you could try 50/50 or 60/40VG if your equipment will handle it.

Maybe just start with the Banana flavor/s first to get your preferred taste level.
(I can taste TFA Banana Cream at 3%, but it's light, others use 5-10% so it depends on your taste buds, equipment, etc).
Banana Cream has some cream built in so the regular Banana will be stronger tasting.

Then add small amounts of other flavors as accents.
Cheesecake Graham 1-2%, French Vanilla 1%, & Sweetener 1-2 drops in 15ml.
Using too much can mute the main flavors IMO.

The higher you maintain the VG level the thicker the juice. So the higher the VG % and lower the % if anything else the thicker the juice. Thicker juice tends to make better clouds thinner juice better flavor.

What percentages are you using for each batch of what you're mixing, specifically? Sweetener can make, or break, a mix entirely.

sweetener 2%
Reducing just that one part could possibly help. The rest of those flavors, especially the banana cream, are pretty sweet on their own. Maybe even try it without, just to give you an idea. Hope it works out for you!

I let all mine sit for 24hrs minimum but Custards and a few others can take from a week up to a month.
If it doesn't taste quite right after 24hrs, put it away for a week and test again.
(The only flavor that might need some time is the French Vanilla IMO).

Just keep making small adjustments with amounts till you get it right.
With most TFA flavors, adjustments by 1% is a pretty safe amount to go by.
Stronger brands like FA & INW, 0.5% adjustments are better.
