If you hate Acetyl Pyrazine, you may not like HS Highway. Ap seems to me to be a big component of Highways flavor.

Yeah Highway has a nuttiness to it. Maybe SC Cohiba, SC Old Captain, HS Elder Captain, INW Black for Pipe & Dark for Pipe.

I tried Inawera's Dark for Pipe and Black for Pipe. Loved them as stand alone. Haven't tried mixing them with other flavors yet.

I've had a love/hate relationship with Acetyl Pyrazine. When it's the right mix it's fine. Go over the edge in the mix and it's overpowering. For a 30ml bottle of DIY I start with 1 drop, shake, and try it. Wait a day before deciding you need more.
It's not the nuttiness what I hate, hate that with time AP starts to advance over the other flavors and at the end it smells and tastes like salami. Maybe I'm using too much as DaveP suggests. Last time tried it at 0.3% (AP 5% TFA from BullCity) in a mix and it was the same. Do you think 0.3% is going over the edge ?
Gave up on it cause I see many recipes using 1% or more of AP, so I thought, if I don't like it at 0.3% this is not for me. I'll give it another try with drops.
Someone told me he is adding Hazelnut instead of AP for nuttiness, to get rid of this problem, have you tried it ?
Taste is subjective. Since I quit smoking 6 years ago my sense of smell and taste have returned to near normal. With AP I've started adding a drop and waiting a day or two to decide if it's enough. 1% for me would be more than I want in my juice, even .4% was too much in some recipes, but I'm a 70pg guy. Flavor is different for those who vape high VG juices. I've cut recipes where AP "ruined it" by adding half unflavored juice with nic and adding back flavor to balance the taste.
I haven't tried Hazelnut, but I'll bet someone here has and will speak up.

Yep, as in Dekang DK Tab. I couldn't vape that because of the Clove hints. I guess that's what they added.

That can happen but for me it just depends on the mix. For an example take Hangsen Highway. For me, it's an excellent stand a lone flavor at 4%. BUT, it's also an excellent base for a Ry4 type mix. Add some vanilla and caramel and I'm in heaven.
Another good example is SC Cohiba. To me, an excellent broad leaf tobacco flavor, but also, in another way of looking at it, just a plain jane tobacco flavor. I almost always enjoy it more when mixed with other flavors. I can add a few drops of chocolate or what ever to take it in any direction I want to go.
Here's a simple mix and one that will knock your socks off. Don't try this for a stealth vape - even the lingering vapor smells like a cigar.
SC Cigar 2%
SC Cohiba 2%
FA Oak Wood 2 drops per 10 ml.
Is anyone experiencing lack of enthusiasm compared to when they started vaping? I've kind of settled on a couple of flavors and don't feel the urge to experiment that much. Too bad, I now have to look for a new hobby...
Yeah, I ebb and flow. Sort of done experimenting for awhile myself. I binged for awhile, now sort of just in a lull.

I'm in a lull also. Beyond fully stocked up and comfortable in my vaping knowledge level so my biggest decisions now are whether to add another drop of apple flavor in my tank or not. Now I enjoy my vape and go about my business. Just comforting and enjoyable to me now.
Vaping has definitely become a hobby for me and I can't find enough time for all the things to be done. New tanks and tanks that need coils. I still haven't found a sweetener for the tobacco flavors that works for me. Lots of things I still need to try.
Another in a lull here, fills like I've done the full vape journey, settled on dark-for-pipe 6% 18mg then have a change to Bahraini apple gold 3% 6mg, just the hardware to worry about now.
I know just what you mean. I've settled into a routine of making just what I need and not doing much experimenting. I have my 10 or so ADV's and rotate them so I find myself mixing maybe once a month and only mixing those flavors I get low on. My perfection days are pretty much over and I've adapted a close is close enough attitude.
That Bahraini Gold Apple is an older flavor that I only recently tried and I find this to be just a great flavor. Ordered the flavor a year ago and just never got around to mixing any until a month ago. Glad I finally did.
