    Finetuning my next blend

    Do you mean that initially there was no hint of vinegar (or acidity) in the taste, but a few days later there was? Don't have any Bavarian Cream (or any other creamy/desserty flavour). Or Vape Wizard - though I am contemplating maybe buying that, but from the description it sounds more like it...

    Has anyone else went through a tastebud crisis?

    I know... scent-hallucinations, brrrr. But seriously, I think it is the other way around: diminished or blunted sense of smell seems to be a predictor for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and even Schizophrenia. Unfortunately the research isn't quite at the point where smelling-tests can be used for...

    Vinegar?

    I am wondering if Apple Cider Vinegar (right?) might contain a little bit of malic acid in addition to the acetic acid. Skimming through all the fantastic material that Pete has discovered and so graciously shared with us, I am starting to understand why the only acid my primary DIY-vendor (a...

    Bitter Wizards AND Ethyl Maltol - am I crazy?

    Please blog about this*, Hoosier! And thanks for the link - I have been reading up what I have found on EM, but now when I have test-vaped my first application of it, I am extremely confused. I shouldn't even be able to taste it at the very low concentration I used, but I can't find any other...

    Finetuning my next blend

    First impression, dripped in a new SR 510 atty: Weird. Very, very weird. Compared to "take one", it is like the substantial "body" of that one is still there, but the taste is very muted (as is the "harshness"). But weirdest of all: there's this hint of what I can only call "pickling juice"...

    Finetuning my next blend

    Thanks Pete, you are being very very helpful. This. Is it as simple as this? In cooking and eating "Sweet" can be countered by acid, but also by bitter or by salt. (And by umami - the combination of salt+umami is especially powerful - which is why a bottle of soy sauce (or Maggi, or liquid...

    Nitrile gloves

    Indeed, AzPlumber. And I would really appreciate it if someone had some advice for me - it isn't urgent since I only handle 36mg/ml nic now, but unless I can find some gloves that don't make me have the fine motor skills of a clumsy 3 yo, I'll have no choice but to stick to lowish nicotine...

    Bitter Wizards AND Ethyl Maltol - am I crazy?

    In trying to figure out how to fine tune my home-brew blend I've been thinking a lot about sweetness vs harshness/dryness, and all the complexities in that - even describing it is very hard! My first more serious attempt (extract+base+3drops M-type ad 10ml) was initially far too "dry"...

    Cinnamon extraction and cocoa extraction

    Well, don't you island-dwellers have something called Yorkshire Pudding... BTW, I am very very tempted to use the glob of cocoa and aquous glycerin sitting in a bottle on the counter to make your mouthwatering frozen treat - I don't know how I am ever going to get that thing strained into a...

    Placebo effect - or do I have something interesting here?

    I have chronicled my first steps in extracting in this thread. Now when I have been using my extractions in various mixes for about two weeks I am really starting to wonder about those elusive WTAs. My first extraction was very little tobacco steeped in 20 ml PGA, 10 ml DW and 2 ml VG...

    Placebo effect?

    Wrong forum, sorry. Re-posted in the correct place. Please delete this, whoever has the power.

    Cinnamon extraction and cocoa extraction

    A sort of bread? To be eaten with meat and gravy? Like a toasted/baked Czech/Slovak/German/general Central European Knödel/Knedlik? Weird. So what is a biscuit then called? Cookie?

    PGA (almost) for New Yorkers and equivalent communist states

    That is actually PGA, no "almost" about it. I don't know if PGA is normally rectified - yup, at least wikipedia says so wrt Everclear. The only thing that might make this different from PGA is if it is made from potatoes or beets or something rather than grain, but that wouldn't make any...

    Finetuning my next blend

    So I did the mix above, and solemly named it "Theory". :laugh: I haven't tested it yet, and decided to let it stand (in a warm place) at least until tomorrow before I try it. When I sniff it now I mainly only smell the tabanone of the M-type so far (but this was the case with the last blend too...

    A question for those who make tea extractions

    LOL, I have almost a whole cupboard full (well, two shelves) of various herbal "teas", ie actually teabags or pieces of plants for making tinctures or tisanes - chamomille, mint, fennel (both seed and flower), rooibos (unflavoured and at least 4 flavoured versions), rosehip, black currant and...

    Normal vape 18mg - what strength unflavoured PG nic liquid?

    This is hard to answer, because people differ in how they like to mix, and how they like to vape. And sometimes you won't know which method you like best until you have tried things for yourself. But I can tell you what I do, and what I have been thinking when it comes to buying my next batch...

    Nitrile gloves

    This might be a good thread to bring up a problem I have wrt using gloves: I have rather small hands, and generally normal one-size latex/nitrile/vinyl gloves are not usable for me for anything that requires precision, or really anything at all. I have a box of size M blue vinyl gloves that my...

    A question for those who make tea extractions

    Bump! Any update on the result, brokepainter? What would be really interesting would be to compare juices made with flavour from this tea-steeping method to juices made with pure peppermint oil to those made with a peppermint flavouring...

    Disguising the taste of nicotine

    Great thread, loads of interesting stuff to read, thanks! What I remember from reading through all the BE-controversy -threads, the nic in our liquids can be free, or if the liquid is treated with citric acid or something like that partly in salt form (the former makes it hard to impossible...

    First DIY E-liquid - Chamomile tea flavor

    This sounds very very interesting! I'm definitely putting it on my list of things to try. You only used PG? Warmed it up, "teabag" in, let it sit a while? (An hour? A day? How long?) Vaping it straight as-is? I like Chamomille tea quite a lot, but what I like less is its diuretic effect - I...
