    Grape flavor - anyone have experience with ...

    I've been doing DIY for about a year, but I'm not much of an experimenter. I tried a few complex things early on, but I wasnt really happy with the results .. and like I mentioned, I vape MTL so I'm not sure if I'm vaping at a high enough wattage for that complexity to come through. I have an...

    Grape flavor - anyone have experience with ...

    Just an update, my grape flavors came and did a bit of experimenting. I ended up doing: FLV Grape - 2% INW Grape - 2% Fuji Apple - 2% TPA Dragon Fruit - 2% TPA Grape Juice - 3% This mix seems semi-sweet and tart at the same time, kind of like Welch's. Can't really taste the apple, but I...

    Good to know about the FLV strength, thank you for that. Gonna try mixing the three grapes with a bit of Fuji and Dragonfruit and see how it goes.

    Grape flavor - anyone have experience with ...

    I just ordered Grape by INW and FLV. I'm not sure if it matters, but I vape MTL, usually around 18-19W - I seem to have trouble tasting things when recipes are complex (ie: I'm not sure if the vape is hot enough, or if smoking has just completely trashed my palate). I've seen a lot of recipes...

    Hello, been awhile since I visited these forums - hope everyone is doing well! I mostly vape a mix of FA Fuji and FW Blueberry, but I'm looking for that elusive grape (purple) tasting vape. I'm going to try this recipe (apparently it tastes like purple pixie stix): TFA Grape Juice 6% TFA...

    Alrighty, just trying to get a sense of where I can use it :) On a side note, my brother and his girlfriend are looking for a peach or strawberry peach (I'm not really a peach fan). Could any of you guys recommend a good peach or strawberry peach recipe and what your favorite peach and...

    Hmm, so from your experience with it, how do you think it would affect FW Blueberry 2.5%, FA Fuji Apple 1%, FA Pear 1.25%, and FA Fresh Cream 1% ... would it do anything discernible to the mix? That is what I'm currently vaping and its pretty good, but if I can make it better, I'm not opposed.

    While browsing recipes, people often say they use TFA Dragonfruit as an emulsifier or something else along those lines. Can anyone explain to me, in lay terms, what exactly it does for mixes? Thanks!

    You might try wrapping the cap in a cloth or dishtowel when trying to unscrew them .. make sure to press the cap down towards the bottle before unscrewing.

    So I have 6 mixing bottles. Two are larger bottles that I keep VG/PG in that pour fast but not accurately, the next two are 60ml chubby gorilla's of VG/PG for more accurate pouring, the last two are one big bottle and one chubby gorilla of premixed. My method using a gram scale that weighs to...

    I bought my last bottle of nic from Dash Vapes in VG .. I kinda like that its a bit thicker so you don't overshoot. It came crystal clear, so I was happy about that. Makes more sense to premix with everything, yeah.

    It's been steeping for 2 days now, I just got a little bit impatient and wanted to try it. Going to let it sit awhile longer.

    Oof .. FA Fuji Apple is good, but dang its strong. I mixed it at 1% with some other fruits and berries and it wants to be center stage. Mix is good though, so I'm happy about that.

    Hopefully your first one works out ok. Edit: Ignore the rest of what I wrote ... its best to keep vg/pg/nic separate .. I didn't factor in the diluents of the nic and flavorings.

    sometimes, vaping CAN cause poblems.

    Things like this is why I kinda wish there was a little bit of regulation with vape juices. It would be nice to know what ingredients are used - not the percentages, the ratio of VG/PG, and whether they're using USP grade VG/PG. Any regulations beyond that are unneeded and unwarranted imo.

    I use the Innokin Kroma A Zenith kit as well, I even bought a 2nd Zenith tank. I bought an RDA for DIY flavor testing, but I still prefer mouth to lung vs direct lung. I'd say maybe start with one of the less expensive, refillable pod or aio type things, and if they like it enough, move to a...

    I don't know if I'm a super taster, but I've never liked super strong flavors in anything, really ... except coffee - if that's not strong, then I'm not a fun person to be around haha. I am noticing that a lot of the recipes I see, I have to reduce their percentages by at least 1/2 or usually...

    I did - tried it at 4%, was super strong, 2% and then 1%. Even 1% seems really strong to me .. I think I might need to mix it with a coffee or something. For me, it seems more like an accent for a mix rather than a solo flavor.
