Usually you have to wait until the baits are dry

And it will only be stronger once you defrost your bait before the session you're going to make

Coconut 🥥 flavour- It probably is there, just that your nose may have been de-sensitised whilst making the bait.
Freeze it overnight, Thaw it out, and smell it with a ( no bait making ) normal nose

Probably will smell ok then.

Then if you can smell it it's probably too strong😂

its a funny flavour and it also depends on what type of flavour it is when compounded.

Out of curiosity are you actually tasting the mix or judging by smell

Yep the coconut is a flavour that is a very subtle smell. I have worked with a few and even when you use double or treble strength, the smell never comes through, and they often taste bitter as hell!!!
The key is to back it up with powders 😉

Talking of cell, I'm the only person to never use it
I got asked to make some wafters , so mixed some up with the activator
Tastes really nice to me
What's the base for the activator?
Are all the different flavours on the same base?
