I'm new to all of this so you're basically speaking a foreign language to me lol. I have played around with the recipe much. With extra flavor it's gross in my opinion. With less flavoring it's too bland. The current recipe is acceptable after a stay on the heated magnetic mixer & a few weeks in the steeping cabinet. I did mix a bottle of the flavorings with no VG or PG added. I use it to add a couple of drops to my bottle if I want a little kick.
I'll get it figured out eventually. This recipe is also good with blueberry in place of the strawberry. Trying other fruits with it as well.
Being 70pg flavor 23% seems alot.
Main question what are you using tank/rda or carton style.
High by generally uses more flavoring. (Depending on flavors of course)
If I mix it for a drip juice I go for max VG. If for tank use I usually go 40 PG/ 60 VG. Personally I prefer to drip due to PG sensitivity. PG really dries me out bad and makes my chest hurt. *Note I am not and was not sober will doing any of this* BUT we use this recipe religiously around here :)
I've got a TPA snake blood clone that uses 18% flavour in a 50/50 juice and there's bags of flavour.
It uses Strawberry ripe 10%, coconut 3% and BAVARIAN cream 5%.
Have you tried reducing the flavour or making a mix closer to 50/50 to see whether you're just over powering the flavour %'s with the high PG?
