    Flavor Apprentice M-Type

    Oh, I'm glad that I didn't read this thread before... I just on a whim opened my bottle of M-type and took a sniff, and decided on the spot that I must test it! Don't have my notes here beside me now, but what I did was mix half and half of the juice I just made based on my own extraction...

    Coffee flavor?

    I think I can usually tell the difference too (and I drink mainly instant), IF the non-instant coffee is freshly ground, and made using some other method than drip/filtering. Which is why I believe it is the oils that are the crucial difference. But people who are used to drinking slightly...

    Coffee flavor?

    This is one of the best and most informative threads I've come across, kudos to all participants! I have one at this stage highly theoretical question (haven't even tried any commercial coffee flavourings yet): Anyone tried instant coffee? Should be highly soluble in both water and...

    A question for people who like tobacco flavors and add other flavors to them.

    Ha! I have no idea what I am talking about, but I would have said the opposite, lol. Because if brokepainter's main problem is that s/he adds too much of the "spice" to his tobacco blends, and this "kills" them, wouldn't a better way to try to avoid that particular problem be to NOT add the...

    A question for people who like tobacco flavors and add other flavors to them.

    Another thing that I have found *very* useful is to have an small (mine is 10ml) bottle of unflavoured liquid of your preferred strength and mix (PG/VG) handy at all times. And maybe a bottle of non-nic as well. It's not only useful for "washing out" the previous liquid when dripping, it is...

    A question for people who like tobacco flavors and add other flavors to them.

    This is an interesting approach, and I hit upon this quite by accident. I went a bit overboard on flavourings when I started vaping and mixing - and now when I look at all my bottles of flavouring I just feel overwhelmed, where to start, where to start? But I thought I should at least mix...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Thanks for commenting! When you say "filter", do you mean like I have been doing through a common paper coffee filter, or do you have some other type of filter in mind? The thing I discovered (or more probably "unvented", as knitters like to say) with using these common paper filters that...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Just a really quick note, I'll post in more details about this later: I filtered this yesterday, twice through paper coffee filters (yielded something like 30ml I think, can't find my notes). It smelled nice, a bit like prune-marmelade. Put it in a clear glass bottle (it is rather dark, and...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Indeed - see my next experiment. Five times the tobacco to less than two times the liquid. But I actually rather liked the result *because* it was so comparatively flavourless, it seems to work like a flavour-enhancer more than anything else. But I would like it stronger, only to be able to...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    So, getting these somewhat encouraging results even though being un-systematic, clumsy and impatient, I just had to start the next experiment ASAP. This time I have the following in my brown glass bottle: - The contents of 5 of these weird cigarillos - 10 ml of PGA - 20 ml distilled water - 20...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    Thanks! I got too impatient, see my next update. I wonder what would be the best conditions to evaporate a) alcohol and b) water. And how having VG or PG in the mix affects this - I'm thinking at least VG probably "holds on to" both water and alcohol quite a bit if its properly mixed to begin...

    The impatient newbie strikes again...

    So, I got impatient again, and decided I had to DO something. Two days of having the bottle open between the windows didn't reduce the level of liquid too much unfortunately (we got a cold spell, so that might have had something to do with it - plus, why would low relative humidity help when...

    Ultimate Tobacco Journal

    Hmm, I'm rather new to it all, and tried the results of my first impatient extraction yesterday (will update "my" thread in a minute), but your question is a good one. Since there was *something* in what I managed to get that I liked enough when I dripped it (very diluted), I took a chance and...

    Comment by 'Tona Aspsusa' in 'Hoosier's Flavoring Levels -aka: A general DIY guide to Flavoring ratios'

    Oh darn, I wish I had read this one hour earlier - or remembered the posts where you talk about too much flavour being the equal of too little. But at least it was nothing *I* did (except for being weird), I was testing a small amount of a commercial no-nic liquid, and while the smell at first...

    Warning text in DIY section is REALLY annoying.

    Huh? Did I say anything to indicate I don't agree with this? I only had an idea about how one might get more people to read the important stuff more often.

    Seriously, is there a placebo effect in diying?

    (A bit OT maybe, sorry) I don't know. I had one (a Boge 2.0 Ohm carto) that I thought was definitely due for a good clean at least, but I was lazy and didn't want to clean just *one*. So by mistake I picked it up a week later and topped it up a bit (same juice, that I had very little left of +...

    Just wanted to make sure...

    I can't see any problems with this. I do quite a lot of what one might call the the opposite of this: I cut ready made juices with a plain base to get less flavour, with unflavoured nic-base to get another nic, sometimes use a commercial juice as a flavouring, etc. The only thing is that the...

    Seriously, is there a placebo effect in diying?

    I second the advice to dilute juices that initially were fine but are suddenly horrible in some way after a week or two. My very first mix I did a totally stupid thing, because I was too impatient to really *read*: I mixed a weak-ish nic PG/VG and added SEVEN percent FA Virginia! Flavourart's...

    Warning text in DIY section is REALLY annoying.

    The dismissal x now works for me. Thank you for fixing this so relatively quickly! It was highly annoying, especially as I mainly read ECF on a small-screened netbook, where this warning took up a bit more than the whole screen. But from a safety (if maybe not liability) POV, this: is...
