For the 5% water, I like to do 2.5% distilled water and 2.5% saline (0.9% solution). 5% saline is good too, but your coils will get rusty after 15-20 mLs.
Mix it up, let it breath for 2-3hrs, then steep it for ~3 days. It's decent as a shake-n-vape, but the pear is a bit strong before steeping.

v2 - took out the water, changed Strawberry to Strawberry Ripe and dropped it from 5 to 3

Ok I am new to diy, so with that said I tried this and at 3 days I tested it. Pear was still strong or to me. So today 7 days later tried it again and ...well it tasted like grape. There are three of us that live here and we all vape and everyone here agrees on the grape taste. So did I do something wrong? Oh and its a good grape taste also. lol
