Yep...totally happy with my current results as well.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that they use Glycerine (Glycerin) and PG in their mix so I'm wondering if that makes a diff in the way it vapes and that smooth quality. I haven't ventured out to find some to try but it is on my diy-to-do list.
The Vg WILL smooth & thicken the vape-- currently my DIY puts out way more vapor than Halo's ever did.
What will surprise you about the TW/PR flavor concentrates is how well they compliment other flavors, experimenting I've come up with all kinds of flavor combo's-- again JME.
Halo still rocks!-- but,now I rock too!
just thru together a butterscotch menthol/ Kamel concoction-- around2:1.
Both the Kamel & the butterscotch menthol were mixed @ 10% prior to being blended together. I use a 50%PG/50%VG base
I find it to be dry, smoky-ish, with a hint of candy/fruity sweet/sour something-- complimented with a hint of menthol... nothing overpowering. YMMV.
I've used mostly the FA's caramel, toffee, nuts flavors for boosting or adding depth to the other range of flavs-- all to preference of course.
I don't have the TW flavors yet but I've collected many flavors from other sources and like to 'wing it' with odd combinations, sometimes just a drop of this and that right in the cartridge. Mostly candies and nuts mixed with various tobacco flavors. Nearly everything I make works pretty well. I thought mixing was really easy until my first trip to the mainland as a vaper last January. In the dry deserty Las Vegas air, flavors didn't come together nearly as well as in our damp Hawaiian climate. Made me wish that I had brought simple mixes. After a few days when I went to rainy No. California the mixes I brought worked better though not as well as at home.
7thCabal; have you been to any dryer climates since you've been mixing? If so, have you noticed a difference?
Wow thats the first time I've heard of that one... elevation must play a role also-- I wonder... gonna have to do some investigative vaping on a plane
Hmmm, hadn't thought of elevation. It does make sense. Let's see. I live @900ft. elevation, up mauka in coffee country. Haven't been much further up mauka like Upper Kaloko or anywhere with superthin air like Colorado in years.
Regarding the trip I mentioned; on the way there, I asked for permission. None of the crew had heard of vaping so the captain told me not to do it. Dripped juice directly onto my tongue so as not to lose it. On the way back, I just started vaping and when asked, told the flight attendant that I was using a vaporizer that helped my COPD but that if it offended her or any of the passengers that I probably wouldn't die if I waited 'till we landed. She said that it wouldn't be a problem. BTW: I use a SuperT unit. It doesn't look like a cigy at all.
Some of my flavorings actually come by boat because of the ORMD designation-- so does that mean that some liquids may 'weird-out' in certain atmospheric conditions?
I don't think they get weird. Its just that in drier climates the flavors don't blend nearly as well and stick out as separate and easily identifiable flavors. Like making a stir fry and the veg not blending with the shoyu and Spam
What flavors come by ship as ORMD restricted? Isn't that mostly for explosives? The only thing I can think of that we vape that can't go by air is over-proof alcohol. BTW: If you use Everclear or something like it in your mixes, try Maui Rum's Braddah Kimo's daBomb 155 proof. Not available on the mainland but some stores on your island have it. Adds a nice depth to many mixes as well as the expected throat hit.
