It's possible that your nic level isn't accurate. Do you use a juice calculator?
Also, what tank are you using? 80% VG doesn't always wick well in tanks (except the newer subohm tanks), so perhaps you're getting dry hits?
VG nic also can get "hot pockets" because VG is thick and nicotine isn't. Before you add nic to your recipe mix up your nic by rolling it on your table or in your hands. You don't want to shake and get more air into the nic as that will degrade it. Something to try...
Warm the VG/PG mix before mixing it.
The flavor % could be a bit on the high side.
OR you could have a bit o warm bathing to mellow the flavors a hair.
WELL YOU NEED TO DO A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION
start with just a ml or so of just your pg/vg base
and vape it
if that is fine
then a ml or 2 of base with flavoring
if that is fine its your nic
I need to ask where did you get your VG and PG from.
I know some PG has a VERY harsh bite, it is not the best quality for use.
Same with some VG.
AHHHAll my stuff came from Wizard Labs.
Yes can be pg, vg, and nic, some places sell old, china, or just cheap. I go through wizard labs they have to have highest standards because they sell to Johnson & Johnson. Smooth and crystal clear. Use a good calculator I use juice me up it is easy and very accurate. And in most cases % for flavors keep low .5 to 5%.
I almost bet it is the WL nic.. it can be seriously peppery and harsh.
If you find the harsh is from the nic solution we can direct you to a less harsh supplier.

He was not using wizard and wizard is top notch def not peppery I have been using them for over 4 years they make it to order and for Johnson & Johnson.I almost bet it is the WL nic.. it can be seriously peppery and harsh.

I have nic river and WL. the WL is peppery compared to nic river.He was not using wizard and wizard is top notch def not peppery I have been using them for over 4 years they make it to order and for Johnson & Johnson.
I tried river when they first opened and it did have the peppery flavor also it had a yellow tinge to it. I changed one time to it and my customers had a fit,
The wizard never has that peppery flavor because they make it per order. Now one time I kept a small 500 mil bottle and when I opened it, it that had maybe tablespoon left over that had the peppery smell but that had been sitting for 8 months after I was finished with it. The so called peppery taste and smell comes from old age. This is why it is important to make it per order. In fact there were only two places that actually make it I the states with wizard being one of them so all the companies are ordering from them and sitting it on the shelf till you buy it.
Maybe after you let it get old and turn yellowish but I have ordered from over 4 years and never once has it had the peppery smell and flavor. And that is probably after ordering it close to 35 times. Believe me I had it one time from another co. and my customers did not like it and it did have the peppery smell and taste.Wizards Labs nic is peppery. So is MFS.
All three of my WL orders for nic were peppery out of the bottle.Maybe after you let it get old and turn yellowish but I have ordered from over 4 years and never once has it had the peppery smell and flavor. And that is probably after ordering it close to 35 times. Believe me I had it one time from another co. and my customers did not like it and it did have the peppery smell and taste.
No.. My vaperstek nic is not from WL LOLWhat is funny about it all is most of your orders from other places are from wizard labs. What makes it peppery is age and that is just the fact of the matter. The reason I order from them is because it is made to order.
Agree VT and nic river are not WL.No.. My vaperstek nic is not from WL LOL
Obviously when I first got these I vaped them fresh. Then into the freezer they went!
There are two places in the states that make it I know wizard does but I don't recall who the other is I will go to my notes. I remember it was an older company like wizard it might be rts I will ck. Yes it is rts.No.. My vaperstek nic is not from WL LOL
Obviously when I first got these I vaped them fresh. Then into the freezer they went!
I checked the nic and it is Wizard Labs. I am going to mix my last recipe without nic and see if that is the problem.I will check it when I get home from work and let you know ... thanks
That's what you can do. Ck to see if the nic has a yellowish tinge to it, if so smell it to see if it has peppery smell like the Chinese e juices have.I checked the nic and it is Wizard Labs. I am going to mix my last recipe without nic and see if that is the problem.

Many of us use nicotine from www.vaperstek.org It's extremely clean (don't get the 'throat hit' nic)!
I don't *think* there is one!Thank you, I will place an order tonight. do you know of any coupon codes ?
Awesome! So glad that solved the problem.Got the new Vaperstek nicotine yesterday and mixed up a batch of coconut banana 2mg today and it was very good. The VT nic did not burn my throat at all. The WL nic will go in the freezer for emergencies. Thanks for all the help !!!
Do you mean to say WL nic is harsh, and VT nic is not? Say it ain't so! ;-)Got the new Vaperstek nicotine yesterday and mixed up a batch of coconut banana 2mg today and it was very good.

Johnson & Johnson doesn't manufacture vaping products. They use the nic for patches and gum. VT nic is processed for vaping. I used WL for 2 years. Once I vaped VT. WL was adios muchacho. There really is a huge difference. No one really knows until they try it.He was not using wizard and wizard is top notch def not peppery I have been using them for over 4 years they make it to order and for Johnson & Johnson.
