How to improve 100% VG flavor

Status
Not open for further replies.
I recently purchased some juice from The Vape Kitchen (pinapple whip and thai mango sticky rice). They are the first 100% VG juice I've vaped. The problem I'm running into is that the flavor isn't really there. The juice smells FANTASTIC but when i vape it it tastes NOTHING like how it smells.

Any suggestions on how I can get some flavor out of these juices? I don't want them to go to waste and both of the flavors smell amazing.

FYI, I'm running a Nemmy with a IGO-W dual coil 4-wrap build (.6 Ohms). I also have a Kayfun I use sparingly because it plows through juice. Should I switch my build up? I've heard diluting it with either Distilled water or vodka may help. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'm new here so what info that I might have will need a lot of salt. And to matters worse, I am not so far along that I could help you with your hardware.
But I wanted to welcome you to ECF. I am sure that soon people with experience and good-will will stop by and help you. It may take a while since iata the weekend
They certainly have been helpful and warm-hearted to me.
Have a great night & vape on.

I got a sample of virgin vapor celestial honeydew in 50/50, I really enjoyed it so I ordered a bottle (from a vendor over here in the UK), they only carry the 100% VG option.

Flavour was so disappointing! I added some 50/50 custard to the tank and it really brought out the melon.

So maybe you could try something similar, just choose a flavour to complement the VG and add small amounts until your happy. (Flavour will be better mixed the following day).

:D

As a 100 VG user I can appreciate what you are saying. For me the problem can only be fixed by getting more flavor added when I order. Not all places need this. For example, in my experience it would be overkill to add extra flavor the the bakery & sweet stuff at The Vapor Room, but most stuff from Mt. Baker barely tastes like anything without added flavor shots.

I would stay away from adding sweetener. It doesn't really do what you think it does, and in more cases than not adding sweetener kills flavor rather than enhancing it.

The other possibility is: How new is this liquid? If the vendor mixed it fresh the flavor may get more intense if you just park it for even a few days to age.

I just received it a few days ago. I will try and let it steep for a week or so. Hopefully that improves the flavor. Does hear have anything to do with it? I'm vaping at a pretty low ohm so I might try it in an ego. Thanks for the tips everyone!
