    Art! I'm so glad you reminded me to try this. This is very close to the Ahlusion Wildwood line. This has to be the base of them. You're a genius, art :toast:

    I will make a 1 drop/10ml tester with you and we can see together how it develops. I will make this this morning and start steeping it.

    I've heard people say that when sub-ohming, you require less flavor and less nicotine, and that flavor is intense, so that may be part of what you are experiencing. I'm not sure because I don't sub-ohm. Your idea of 1 drop/10ml may be what works. But, to be honest, I've found that some flavors...

    This is a thread here in the DIY forum. It's a recipe for a 5-Pawns clone of Castle Long created by member jonhall2. In the thread is both the 5-Pawns clone recipe and another recipe by member HIC, HeadInClouds, of a recipe that is similar to Gentleman's Reserve, and the recipe is called Black...

    I got NF Gooseberry in the mail this week. I'm excited to work with it, so I started a 10ml 1% standalone tester of this flavor. I will report my progress after it steeps a few days.

    ___________________ So, I pulled this out and decided I need to keep tweaking this recipe as well. After just re-testing it in a LR510 atty, I'm honestly not sure what, if anything, will make this mix better. As I've mentioned before, I'm not wild about vanilla, mint/menthol notes. But, I...

    ____________________________ I decided to play with this again, and after re-testing before I add anything else, this is a nicer mix than I originally rated it. Because there is no DNB, it lacks that ashy note present in the other Dark Fire sample for the Dark Horse recipe. I am not sure what...

    __________________________ Even though I stopped at that point and made the mix a recipe, I want to play with it more. So, I am going to add to it WG Apple to see if adding a bright note will enhance this mix or not. I only want just a small amount, nothing that will overwhelm what is already...

    ____________________ Even though I finished at this point and made the mix a recipe, I am going to play with this mix a little more to see what happens. I am going to add Inawera WG Apple to this at 1%. My thought is this will add a sharp, crisp note that may work well with this tobacco.

    I thought about this and wanted to see just how much dilution I was causing when testing these samples. The dropper bottles I use for testing measure 60 drops/ml. I began testing flavors in increments of 2. I am not doing that now. I am now starting at 1% concentration, then going up to 2%, then...

    I am trying here to make the process of my calculations both transparent and thus easily replicated, and also to help me keep track of what I have done. I started out with a 5ml steeped sample of the tino d'milano Virginia with an added 2 drops of TA Virginia (which is a little less than 1%)...

    I know some members are concerned about the ingredients in the flavorings, which ones are safe or safer, and which ones are known to be a concern. Another member took the time to compile information on this and I am going to post it here for you guys so that you can have quick reference to...

    The Wizard Labs Thread.

    I don't know if this is new and maybe WL is going to integrate polycone caps with their bottles, but I received several flavors in my most recent order that had the polycone instead of the white cardboard.

    I can't imagine 15% being a good % for that flavor. I would think what you're doing with 1 drop/10ml is more accurate. But, then again, it's all about whatever tastes good to you. I have only taste tested it so far, so I haven't worked with it at all yet. Are you using it for a recipe or standalone?
