My order from VikingVapor arrived today and I haz a BIG AZZ HAPPY!

And then, I got overwhelmed. Which flavor do I do first????



I settled on trying the cappuccino with mocha, and a small amount of vanilla since it seemed a bit strong. It's still strong actually but...well...kinda leads me to a thought/question. Do you guys have any creative container ideas? We haven't gone through enough juice to have empty bottles from times past and now that I've mixed this, I have to commit to it until the end or spend the dough on empty bottles. I'm not opposed to doing that, but I'd rather use that money for cool things, like more tanks and batteries.

Any ideas to ease my "suffering?"

No? Well...how about ideas on mixing up some of these flavors. What would you try? That one that's cut off at the top right is "butter rum."

Poo. My happy broke a little bit. Most of the flavors I'm not really thrilled about, but part of it may be that one of my new coils for my EVOD is already tasting burnt. So, I'll be going to the ecig shop tomorrow to gripe. And one of my tanks broke. Oh well. Time to ponder dinner and puff away on my Lava Flow, a comfy fave.

You're discouraged too soon. Many flavors need to steep a little while. Mix them up, give them a day. More complex flavors might well need longer. Tobaccos are notorious for often taking a couple of weeks to taste good.

Make sure you're using good percentages. (I remember the first caramel cappucino I tried (TFA) at (what I thought was a) normal 20%. OhMiGod, it was terrible. Turns out recommended usage is 1 drop/10 mL.) Then you'll have to tweak those percentages to *your* taste. You might like it stronger or weaker.

Also, many flavors might not taste like much on their own but work well in combination with others.

Seriously, DIY'ing is not (usually) as easy as getting in a flavoring, mixing it up with a base, and immediately falling in love with it. Everybody's tastes are different and you'll need to experiment a bit before giving up.

Not giving up yet, but not near as excited as I was originally. The house smells kinda funny now too from all the different scents from the flavors lol.

I'm not sure what the mix is that they're using but it does seem a bit different from what we've gotten from our local shop. I do intend to let the new flavors steep. Hopefully they improve lol. And hopefully we can get some replacement coils since the last set we got seem to have been a little faulty. To another day!
