    Ecigexpress Info Please

    I use ECX almost exusively for everything even though their Signature line is TFA rebranded, don't mind a little markup for the ease of a 1 stop shop. Always had excellent service, quick shipping, correctly filled orders. Out of numerous nic orders from different lot numbers I did have 1 batch...

    I'm afraid to ask (Desert Gold & 7 Leaves)

    In the often bizarre world of flavor company interpretations of tobaccos I found FA 7 Leaves to be a reasonably good basic tobacco flavor. I went through a phase where it was a go to primary. I could send you some recipes but look at any of my posts and you will see a common matrix of...

    Lemon for PH

    I experimented with the pH lowering concept some. I found it tends to step on the overall flavor which can be a benefit for taming some of the funkier tobacco flavors. Ultimately I decided the preferable path was to find tobacco flavors that inherently suited my tastes better rather than...

    What is your method to transfer liter of nicotine to 30ml amber glass bottles?

    I wrote a couple of blog posts on how I would store a large quantity of nicotine base. (Trained organic chemist). http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/robertnc/3595-stockpiling-essentials-part-1.html...

    Tobacco Express Ecigexpress

    Just try a range of the weird chinese stuff. I like most of them, especially: Baisha Haorizi HongJinLong Hontashan Honghe and Turkish is good too.

    to nuke or not to nuke?

    Microwaves can catalyze chemical reactions. I nuke everything 3 times in succession for 3 seconds a pop. I think it accelerates the "marriage" of the various flavors, and gives a more smooth, balanced mix without extensive aging.

    Ethyl Vanillan Powder

    I usually mix it at 5% in PG/VG. Tastes like vanilla to me, a little stronger supposedly.

    TFA milk/cream flavors

    TFA Malted Milk was Ok but not great for me - have not used it much. TFA Sweet Cream - good but gets hot or peppery if you add more than a touch. A little too much vanilla but good. FlavourArt Fresh Cream - good, less vanilla than TFA Sweet Cream but also prone to get peppery. FruitExpress...

    Tobacco Blends

    I think EGOs if I remember right are pretty low profile too. I work on an office "campus", that big evil empire seed company that everyone is always organizing a protest against, lol. We cannot even use tobacco products in our own vehicles once we are on the campus limits. But I still hit it...

    Tobacco Blends

    As far as hardware goes that's cool if he wants a hot rig. I think RoundRock has a good point for some though. I'm an old fart. Some may consider them newbie kiddie batteries but I really like the KR808Ds and will probably always stick with them. The funky tanks? Not inclined to puff on...

    Tobacco Blends

    Well, I was not really looking for a coffee taste, although I do love my vape and coffee in the am, just like I used to love my Camel and coffee in the am. I only do tobaccos, as you know most are flowery, chemical, peppery, something. The thing is, although nicotine is certainly not good for...

    Tobacco Blends

    Also a little TFA Coffee flavor will add some kick without adding perfume or sweetness, but it is way too potent - cut it to 1/4 strength with PG/VG and add a drop per mL and adjust from there.

    Tobacco Blends

    OK, I used to smoke Camel shorts, you are just not going to find anything like that. As far as not flowery, not perfumey, and definitely has some kick, I ordered about 20 of these weird Chinese TobaccoExpress flavors and while they don't exactly taste like cigarette tobacco, they don't taste...

    Robert's Baisha Blend #4

    Lol. I'm glad somebody got something useful out of all this. I really struggled with the whole cream thing but the mix seems to work pretty well.

    Eliquid Dryness - need Wetting suggestions

    The only vendor I ever used was Wordup, and if I were not so determined to do this DIY thing that would probably still be my sole vendor. A lotta their juices kinda tasted the same but they were all good (a lotta my juices tend to taste the same too, they taste like ..... lol

    Vanilla Flavor

    Harder to get an RBA to work than making your own Drambuie? Please please please send me your recipe then! ;-) Lol, I'm all about tinkering with little bottles. My rig consists of some clearos for home, some carts for music events where I tend to get knocked around a bit and the basic kiddy...

    Robert's Baisha Blend #4

    Robert's Baisha Blend #4 A little smoother and more complex than Basiha #3, this one is a little less hard but still definitely for tobacco fans. I like em both a lot. 1.4 mL 50-50 PG/VG Base 0.6 mL 100 mg Nicotine in 50-50 PG/VG Base 6 Drops Baisha Tobacco Flavor (Tobacco Express) 2 Drops...

    Vanilla Flavor

    I would only do this much work in my still mostly unsuccessful attempts to make my own Drambuie, lol. I just dissolve Ethyl Vanillin and it tastes fine to me.

    Robert's Baisha "Kick" #3

    Robert's Baisha "Kick" #3 More absurdly complicated recipes based on TobEx Chinese mystery flavors. This one has sort of a hard kick that some might not like, but as a former Camel short smoker I dig it. 1.3 mL 50-50 PG/VG Base 0.6 mL 100 mg Nicotine in 50-50 PG/VG Base 8 Drops Baisha Tobacco...

    Eliquid Dryness - need Wetting suggestions

    OK I only do tobaccos so this could be the result of flavor interactions that you might not encounter with fruit mixes, but on creams because I have spent a LOT of time experimenting with creams: TFA Bavarian Creme - not bad, but to my tastes not much different than just adding EM and Ethyl...
