I came up with the idea to make a chocolate lucky charms. I used

9% Lucky Charms (Flavor apprentice)
4% Milk Chocolate (Same)
70/30 VG/PG and in a 30ml
The recipe called for .9ml of nicotine which is 100% VG and is 100mg/ml
I did that and I tasted nothing but nicotine. I dumped it and tried again but used .5ml of nicotine and i still taste the nic. I don't taste the lucky charms or chocolate. Any help?

How do you know your tasting nicotine? it should be flavorless from a reputable supplier.

May want to use less flavor concentrate too...more is not necessarily better tasting.

Mix with less flavor and work your way up to what tastes good to You.

Oh some juices don't produce flavor correctly.... at first... they need aging or steeping. Now when you get practiced... you might be able to estimate how a juice will turn out by tasting it fresh. Not always.

One of the most common reason this occurs is due to the nic. not having been evenly distributed through the VG carrier just prior to use. You may have experienced what is often known as a "nicotine hotspot".

Did you put the VG based nic. bottle in your back pocket and "shake your booty" just prior to use? :bingo:

If so, you may wish to consider a livelier or longer tune. :banana:
Just my 2 cents.

I'm curious as to what nicotine you are using. I experienced a horrible nicotine from Liquid barn, the USA nicotine to be exact. It tasted as if it was filtered through an ashtray.

As with all the flavors you mix with, shake or roll the nic. well before using it. With a VG base, it helps a bit if the solution is at least at room temperature.

If the Milk Chocolate is TFA, I thought it tasted like water straight from the original TFA glass bottle.
And some of those Cereal flavors are pretty weak also.

Try making a batch with 0 NIC and you'll find out it it's the NIC or not.

It tastes amazing without nic. When I add it it's horrible .

The brand is Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers

Sorry for double post again.. I'm gonna take @RonJS advice and I'm gonna make it again but I'll shake everything.

Edit: I remade it without nic. Unlike last time. I got a weird taste on the inhale, which I assumed was choclate so i dropped it down to 3% and both times it wasn't good. Last time it was amazing. So, any suggestions on what percents I should use for both Lucky charms and chocolate?

Shake everything, always, every time.

Do you mean lucky Leprechaun? Try 8% and 4.5% for the milk chocolate. And let it sit at least over night. Everything should start to settle by then. You're going to taste nic with these flavors, tfa milk chocolate basically tastes like water and lucky leprechaun is weak as well. So try halving the nic, shake, steep, shake.

How does the nic base look - clear? How does it smell?
Maybe mix up a few mls of JUST 3mg/ml nic in VG and see if that tastes OK. It should be mildly sweet...
Some folks find that becomes their main vape - flavorless...(Just VG, a little PG if needs thinning, and whatever nic strength they want).

May need to get some of that super clean NIC for that one.
I haven't been able to taste any NIC in my recipes yet, but I'm only using 2-3mg anyway.
