Just tryed the strawberry and it seems to be coming through now im getting abit of a taste! Its at 5%, does the throat sting goes away with more steeping? The sting is from to much flavouring so im hoping the sting goes away with more steep? Any suggestions on this one plzzzz?
@wllmc i tryed tutti frutti at 4% and it sting on the throat at that to will that go away with steep? Iv also made some tutti frutti at 2% no sting on that one

My strawberry is starting to change colour! Was clear now its got a slight yellowy tinge to it Im guessing this is a good thing so maybe im just being to impatient and need to let them steep! Im gona make more tonight at 3% and leave it for a week i think as this 5% is muted badly

Dilute it in half, let it rest a bit?
i think the change in colour is a good thing?
Get this figured out yet?
i vaped that strawberry when it had some colour to it but was stinging my throat from over flavouring i think? So iv mixed a batch of it other day at 3% its still steeping so im gona give it a little longer! Iv come to the conclusion that high vg liquids needs alot more steeping to suck that flavour in and i was just being in patient so il give it another few days to try it

What I meant was, the one that was 5% and "muted badly". You can try diluting that one with more base. Color change is normal.
Yes there wasnt that much there so wasn't even worth it lol so i mixed up 20 ml of it at 3% thnx for the advice though! iv bought 20 bottles of 10ml bottles today next batch il use 3 for each flavour making 5ml of each at different % say 1-3-5% leave a week to steep and then i can get a better idea of what i want!
Also is there a tasty custard you can suggest?

It's near the top of there list on fantastic 5. Try on its own at 3% or mix with your strawberry 2% of each. I like it straight away after a hot water bath for 10 mins but if you mix it with another flavour give it a bath and a good shake and then leave it in a cool dark place for at least a week for the flavours to mingle. Another tip with your muted strawberry try adding .5 percent of lime makes the strawberry pop a bit more so iv found anyway no more than .5 percent though or you will taste the lime.

Oh thats handy to know i thought that custards take like a month to get to were it needs to be! And yeah i read that somwere iv also seen somone saying using a drop of orange juice lol? Wilmc suggested using .5 of tutti frutti aswell as i have that in hand, i dont have lime flavour unfortunately!
Saying that smelling my tutti frutti tpday and the smell of that Wrigleys chewing gum is starting to come through cant wait to try lol! Would like to try hics recipes one day aswell

Custards normally do take a while to develop but that custard pi tastes the same a week later or a month later in my opinion anyway. Iv got the lime cold pressed from fa and it's good on its own really refreshing or added sparingly to other fruits don't be alarmed if you think it's strong when added at .5% it does fade over time and really brings the other flavours out.

You should do but everyones taste is different. The lemo is a good tank though never heard anyone who has got one slate it give it a try.

Iv never had a prob with mine. There's loadsa tanks out now do a bit more lookin about like I said earlier everyones tastes are different what works for some doesn't for others. If you don't close the airflow when filling the lemo it will leak because of the vacuum inside I just close off the airflow fill and open back up never had a prob.

I gave the smok shop a ring and he said difference in flavour wont be that great it depends how you build it so maybe getting a 50w istick using 8wraps of 26gauge on my subtank may work better as to be fair everyone on youtube are saying how great they are lol that being said i may try mix some 50/50 juice up and see how much better in flavour that would be

If you haven't tasted your PG or VG, try that. PG has an odd warmth, some say bitterness to it. VG is a little sweet. They should be odorless, also. Be sure you're shaking your bottles of flavoring really well prior to using them in a mix.

Nice mate tutti frutti is nice but iv still got this harsh sting on the throat i cant get rid of iv spoke to people using the same subtank and percentages as me and theres is fine so i think im going to put it down to the vampire vapes pg vg and nic i need to try another source any suggestions?
I tryed ry4 nutzilla today at 5% with 8days steeping its nice but still that harsh sting is still there grr lol not as bad as the others but enough for an unpleasant vape

I have had great luck with USP PG/VG from MyFreedomSmokes and Highdesertvapes.

Was it already suggested to you to go unflavored? Heck try vaping some 70/30 (or whatever your prefered ratio) with no nic. Mix up a 10 mL bottle just using PG and VG. Nothing nasty there? Add your Nic. Nothing nasty there add your flavor.

I do have another thread on this and somone did suggest that but iv vapes heisenburg and pinkman in these pg vg and nic and its been fine nice and smooth,
Its hard to belive its the flavour % as people are using the same percentage as me and they dont get this sting on the throat from it so my theory is maybe fa flavours aint agreeing with vampire vapes pg vg and nic maybe?
It does seem the higher in percentage i go on the flavour the worse the sting on the throat is
