    Slims e juice- yay or nay?

    I enjoyed my Slim's experience about a year-and-a-half ago. I ordered a bunch of 10mL sample sizes in a 12mg 50/50 mix, back before I had an RTA. I vaped them on a Smok Micro ADC II and an iStick. I didn't try the flavors you did, but I only found a few clinkers out of 15 samples. You can read...

    Brandy Orchard Compote

    I think your INW subs will be just fine! Per Inawerawinkel - "FLAVOUR "PINK LADY". The flavour on a taste and smell of cloves with a hint of apple." I don't know this flavoring, but I don't think I'd replace the Two Apples with it! It sounds like it's clove-forward, so it might go in as a spice...

    Clone request Cream of the Crop Almond milk or Nia 9

    I don't think it's a Baker White clone, but I just mixed this one on Sunday: Vanilla Almond Milk (credit to Arsis @ ELR): 0.25% Hazel Grove (Hazelnut) (FA) 3% Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) (FA) 1.5% Marzipan (FA) 1% Meringue (FA) 1% Vienna Cream (FA) Flavor total: 6.75% I won't be trying it out...

    Brandy Orchard Compote

    I went to mix a 30mL bottle of this yesterday, and in a moment of inattention I went a bit too heavy on the Two Apples. I decided to recover by bumping it to 1.75% and skipping the White Peach. I must say it still smells wonderful, and I'm tempted to give it an early spin. It will probably be...

    OBS Engine NANO RTA

    I just wrapped one of mine with UD 24g SS316L, 8 spaced wraps x 2.5mmID, 0.36ohms. Mounted it centered horizontally between the post holes, and vertically positioned over the front lobe of the wick holes. Running it on the eVic Primo w/standard SS316 TC, 460F @ 40W. It's the bingo build for me...

    Mixing Theory and what can I do with these concentrates?

    You might try putting the custard out front, perhaps with a malted-milk accent, and using 3-4% Strawberry Ripe (OR 4-5% Sweet Strawberry) as a back-note. Or try making a nice custard by itself, to see if you like it without the pile of strawberries! :)

    Few questions from a new DIY'er

    It's true that many people buy more flavorings than they need, but if you and the wife are excited to become hobby mixers, and you have local friends that do mixing as well, I don't think your approach is a bad one. There's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem when you're first getting started...

    Few questions from a new DIY'er

    You are really going to have fun with that list! A word of warning about FA Condensed Milk: it's unbelievably strong, and even fractions of a percentage point can overrun your mix with a strong milk flavor, like eating powdered milk with a spoon. The best thing to do with it is make a 10%...

    Few questions from a new DIY'er

    FlavourArt is one of my favorites, due to authentic flavors that suit my palate, and high concentration strength that makes my bottles last. You can find expert notes on many of their flavorings HERE. Their Fuji is a premier apple flavoring, and all their creams are wonderful. Most of their line...

    Brandy Orchard Compote

    Thanks, @tazzle! The Liquid Amber is a key element, supplying a tiny fermented-cooked taste that transforms it from a fruit salad, and helps to integrate the Brandy into an overall sweet-and-sour effect. I made two 15mL bottles of the final mixes (both W. Peach and spicy Pear versions), steeped...

    Mama J's Game Over Custard

    Yes, INW Custard is thicker and richer than CAP's, and more than twice as strong too. I've read that 3% INW = 8% CAP, and after trying it I tend to agree. Like @b.m. suggested, you could tweak INW Custard a bit, very easily. Adding INW Vanilla Shisha is almost a no-brainer, since it loves...

    Mama J's Game Over Custard

    I never sampled it; was it just a vanilla custard flavor? If so, you might check out Inawera. I've mostly gotten fruits and some bakery flavors from them, but they seem to be coming on strong with the creams now. I'm vaping their Custard at 3% standalone as I type, and it's very impressive. So...

    Mama J's Game Over Custard

    They haven't posted on FB or Twitter since June. Last original tweet. They used to have products listed at Bull City Flavors, but those are gone too. Maybe it's temporary. I guess you could follow them on Twitter in case they ever come back....

    Have you tried "Castle Long Clone V2" by EWS?

    It looks very close to the one I use, @tazzle (credit to Pascal P @ Les DIY pour les Nuls): CLONE Five Pawns Castle Long 1.5% Acetyl Pyrazine 5% (TPA) 1% Brown Sugar (TPA) 1.5% Coconut (INAWERA) <-- my swap, Pascal uses TFA Coconut Extra 2.5% Kentucky Bourbon (TPA) 1.5% Toasted Almond (TPA) 1%...

    OBS Engine NANO RTA

    So far not too bad, with the Primo. I love the form-factor; much sleeker and with better hand-fit than my Cuboids. It uses the same controls and interface as my VTC/VTwo Minis and Cuboids, so it's technically comfy too. I've only spent a couple hours with it, and haven't even checked for a...
