Any tips on how to get a sour flavor / sensation?

I sometimes use Lime, if it'll fit the flavor profile. The one I use is FA Lime Cold Pressed. Usually at 0.5%, up to 1%.
I have tried a bit of Lemon Lime by both TFA and CAP but i'll try your suggestion as it will fit within the profile. Any other suggestions on how to get that pucker from something really sour and sweet (candy'ish tho)?
That's the most tart that I've used. It seems that somebody makes a sour lemon flavoring, I can't remember if it's Inawera, or not, though. So, I will tag @Daintanee because she just LOVES sour vapes.
Good luck! I hope one of those help you out, but I'm pretty sure she'll be able to.
Hmmm, well, I have had no luck with rainbow drops. Not sour either. If I want to pucker I tend to go with tart/sour flavors I have found. Fruit Express lemon from e cig express is a very concentrated tart lemon flavor. The best luck I had with a sweet/sour vape was my Kellogg's Citrus gummies.
Malic acid
This is what gives wine and green apples their sourness and what is used in those extra sour candies.
It's more sour then Citric acid and has a higher thermal decomposition point.

But I'm sure you want cherry and grape in there? You might try maltic acid as nightshard suggested. I don't have it so I can't comment. Tfa key lime is a good sour lime as well. I get more bitterness from FA Lime cold-pressed than sour. Wish I could help more. I haven't tried one on one happy rancher yet, but it smells good...like a sour hard candy.

Since you have been using TFA sour which is 20% Malic acid in PG and at very high concentration and still can't feel it, then I can't help you.
Might be something wrong with your taste buds.

Are you shaking all your flavorings really well? Worth an ask, lol.
