Why does your juice need to get "yellow/darker"? What does that have to do with anything?

Maybe tell us more about what you're doing, what flavors you are using, what percentages,what mod and atty you are using, so on an so forth.

How can anyone help you with such little information?

Vape on.

I used 15% of TFA banana cream and 5% of LA vanilla
For mod i use Nemesis with Kick 2 and atty i use atmomixani striker all of them are authentic..


For making this juice i just using syringes to get a perfect volume pg vg and flavor, and then mixed them up

If your PG has a strong chemical smell, I'd let the vendor know about it. I literally just went and smelled my bottle of PG that I got from Bull City Vapor. Zero fragrance to it. Have you tasted the PG by itself? I get a warm sensation in my mouth when I taste it straight, but no offending flavor. If your PG has a bad, chemical taste to it, especially strong, then most likely, that will affect your mixes, too.

You're using a dripper? OK what is your PG/VG ratio? Many people that drip, prefer a higher VG when they do, because of the throat hit from PG. IME, it was pretty scorching with a higher PG.

After seeing the 15% TFA Banana Cream... that could very possibly be one issue in itself. That's a REALLY strong flavor, to me. I tried it at 5% and it was way too strong for my taste. You could try diluting that mix by half or by thirds. You might like it a little better. If that doesn't help you, definitely contact the vendor.

I used 50:50 PG/VG
I watched youtube they said 20% its a perfect percentage for flavoring, lol. I think i have to try a new batch with 5% flavoring

20% if using sub par like Flavor West.
TFA is going to range from a single drop to 30-60 ml to 5% depending on the flavor.
FA is .25 to 5 depending.

LOL, yeah, don't DIY Youtube style. Please don't. Youtube has great tutorials on things, including ecig stuff, but with DIY and flavoring, there is no perfect percent for everyone. We all taste things a bit differently. DIY is a learning process for sure, but the DIY section here is AWESOME. Lots of experienced mixers, lots of reading and wonderful recipes, too.

There are spreadsheets floating around for different flavoring companies (I have them if you want em). They're kinda helpful, but I think a bit dated, too. When I first started out, I also thought I was supposed to used 20%. I made a mint flavoring strong enough to cure the common cold and espresso flavored vape that could have doubled as bug spray! After that, I started asking more questions. When I try a new flavor, it depends on what company made it as far as what % I'll start with. If it's a popular flavor, I'll just ask people here what they did.

Start low, aim high with flavors. You can always add more if need be. Less is more in most cases with DIY.

Actually i want to make ejuice like "Emperor Pinguin - Vaping Birdy" or Unicorn milk - cuttwood. Any suggestions how many percentage that they used? their percentage of flavor are perfect. I want to make somting like that, smells good and taste good.

Yikes. I've never tasted any of those, myself. Unicorn Milk seems pretty popular. There's a DIY request section in the recipes part of the forum. You could check there.

Google told me Emporer Penguin is a condensed milk flavor? FlavourArt (FA) sells that concentrate, but it's in their kitchen line of flavorings. It contains diacetyl, which many vapers choose to steer away from. We just don't know enough about custard notes to know any long term problems. Some people also have no personal issue with vaping the flavors that contain custard notes. I don't know if another vendor sells that flavoring or not, but that one is available, still.

I found this thread here : http://vapingunderground.com/threads/anybody-have-a-copy-of-cuttwods-unicorn-milk-mmmmm-tasy.23031/ This might give you ideas for Unicorn Milk. I'd be willing to bet there are several for this flavor around here.

New to diy myself bit from what i understand flavor in an rda with much higher wattage doesnt take near as much flvoring percentage to catch good flavor as in a tank.

I mixed too much already on my first try and it tasted good to me as i need strong flavor..but when i moved to a better tasting type tank i lowered it a significant amount and got an even better taste..Lower your percentages and see what happens...nicotine as well if youre using it...it may only be x amount percentage but its alot more intake in general.
 
Just thought I should mention that FA has released diacetyl free versions of their condensed milk AND their yoghurt flavour :)
