ever since i started vaping..i have been a bit of a flavor chaser nothing reely did it for me..so i started making my own using capella flavourings about 6 months ago... i have a mix of Apple and sweet mango at 16% apple and 12% sweet mango.. i have to make my vg/pg at 70/30 as i am not a big fan of throat hit.. still the flavor is not as in your face as i thought it was going to be? what am i doing wrong? or do i still need to add more flavouring? set up is a hana clone with aerotank v2 vaping at 9-10 watts?
is there something wrong with my tastebuds?

I once googled about taste bud and found to much info. Some are born as supertaster some not. If I was in your place, I would think of getting a dripper to test you blends. It may or may not be your choice of tanks.
Yea, I know, not much help!

I don't DIY so somebody else might want to chip in, but from what I've seen around here, less is more. Your flavorings shouldn't be more than a total 10% off your mix, and most go lower than that. When you add "too much" of a particular flavor it can go reversed and be muted or weak instead. Don't know why.
Try a mix with Apple 4% and mango 3%. Same balance, just 1/4 the amount, and see how that fares.

Looks like your flavor % is too high. Have you tried both flavors in a single flavor mix yet? If not, try finding each individual flavor's sweet spot then work on combining them.
In my experiences with DIY, I've found that some flavors "cancel" each other out to a certain extent. Try doing separate single flavor batches, then experiment. Everyone's taste is different...

I have to agree with the flavor percentages being a good bit too high. Fruit flavors tend to taste strong to me personally. Try cutting the percentages in half with some vg/pg, see if that changes the taste you get from it.
i have tasted all of the capellas that i have individually and found between 16-20% was nice never tried below 15% individually tho as like i said i am a serious flavor chaser.. i cannot understand the concept tho that less is more as i have heard that capella flavorings are quite weak in strength and that usually 15-20% is just right for a capella flavoring as standalone?
When combining flavors into a juice, the individual %'s tend to go down. You might want to take a gander in the DIY sub forum. And take a peek at Hoosier and Danny's blogs, they have some decent insight to what you are experiencing.
