Okay so I'm fairly new to DIY flavoring. I started with a Liquid barn "DIY Kit" and have slowly built up some other flavors to work with as I wasn't thrilled with liquid barn's nicotine or flavors (a few were alright). Pretty much every flavor I've made so far has sucked and wouldn't be something I'd vape on the reg. My general strategy has been to mix a couple flavors that I think will work well together up to a flavor percentage of 10 to 15% in a batch and then let it steep in my closet for a week to two weeks and then try the flavor. Most of my mixes have been attempts at a "pink starburst" (my favorite flavor from my local vape shop) and my last batch was about 7% TFA ripe strawberry, 3% TFA watermelon, and 3% TFA Vanilla Custard. I made a 15 ML batch.
In my imagination, these 3 flavors sound amazing in roughly these ratios. In practice, it tastes like crap and so has every other flavor I've mixed. I've gotten some TFA vanilla swirl on the way and am hoping this improves my result but I am starting to feel a little defeated. Is there some failure in the logic behind how I'm creating flavors? Has anyone else gone through this and have some tips on how to make actual good "professional quality" flavors?
Basically, any tips would be greatly appreciated. I am far from throwing in the towel but any guidance to help me make a usable juice that doesn't go down the drain would be much appreciated.
