I had my first mixing session turn out pretty bad. Everything tasted like cardboard.
So I have finally gotten around to do some testing and have found the culprit, however i'm not quite sure what to do now. I tested the VG alone and it tastes pretty neutral and my no nic flavors seem ok so I made 15ml of 6mg nic base with only VG. (1.13 grams of 100mg VG nic + 17.79 grams of VG) BLAMO.....CARDBOARD. I'm using a decent calibrated (by me) scale and my nic and VG are brand new from Nicotine River. Nic was warmed in warm water and shaken for a few minutes. Nic appears nearly clear.
Reviews of Nic Rivers Nic state that it was pretty neutral but this completely overpowers all but the strongest flavors i have mixed. Tasting it without flavor gives a rather harsh hit that kind of sticks to your tongue. Not quite peppery but dry and tastes the way cardboard smells.
Does my math above look right for 15ml? I used http://e-liquid-recipes.com/create for the weights.
Could my nic be bad? Is there a better source of Nic out there that would be more neutral?
I normally vape 6mg in my RTA, dual coil at around 60 watts all day long, usually 15-20ml a day.
