2012 The Best of the Best DIY flavorings from each flavor manufacture

[Starlyte2]

Virginia Flu Cured - VZ - 3%
for its clean, fresh taste

Virginian Tobacca - FA - 15%
for its versatility, mixes as tobacco base really well.

M Type - TPA -5-15% (if alone or in a mix)
nice tsting, alone or with other tobacco flavors

Liquid Amber - FA - 15%

Hypnotic Mist - FA - 15%

Real Cig - VZ - 3%
good, dirty, ... taste, when you need to remember the analogues. Good taste.

Latakia - FA - 15%

Wild Fruits - FA - perso,%, depends on your tastes.
delicious, really nice fruity tasting.

Cream - VZ - 2-3%
as add on to some other flavor, even tobacco,

Caramel - VZ - 2-3%
can be overpowering, so go easy

Coconut - VZ - 2-3.5%
not as powerful as the other VZ conc., but requires, as the other no tobacco flavours, the VZ super concentrates NO seeping. Which is why I put them as favourites, so practical.

Maxx - FA - 15%
needs seeping to be good.

Menthol - TPA - to taste.
I mix it up at 30% then add a few drops here and there. Or lots if I've got a cold.
Blows your head off!

Hickory Smoked - TPA - a drop, or so.
Gives a smoky flavour to a tobacco mix, but in very small doses, and seeping's essential.

Oak Wood - FA - by drop, or two, to taste
Gives an earthy, woody flavour to mixes, nice with tobacco, and other flavours, for
a cow hand type vape. Seeping essential. Don't over do the dose, however..


More to follow, as I think of them, but those are my preferred of the moment.

+1 on the FA Catalan Cream. I liked it so much I bought a lifetime supply!! I go 10% on this.
+1 on the FA Hypnotic Mist. Very unique and satisfying. 10-15% is great.

 

[frosting]

Wow 10% on Catalan Cream!? That must be intense.... heck I may even try bumping up the flavor more... Just had a good experience at a low percentage. That's what I really like about Flavor Art. They're the original Vaping Zone! jk... But for some flavors, you really only need single digit percentage which is always nice.

MY Opinion ONLY YMMV

Best RY4
TFA "Ry4 Double"
TFA RY4 Asian (second place)

Best Chocolates
TFA Chocolate (clear)
TFA Double chocolate (good mixed with above also - good and more carto friendly IMO)

Best Vanilla (mixer) TFA Vanilla Swirl

Best aromatic tobacco Wizard Labs Captain Black (I think it's Seedman's )

TFA Black Honey Tobacco ROCKS!

What % on the black honey tobacco?

 

[Jim Bob]

Start @ around 10% let it steep (Or if you just can't - do a smaller bottle and go 15-20% to taste- while the other bottle steeps - LOL) this is ONE honey that I don't get the "cat pee" taste/odor from, it's really great to my palate

 

[trickxiii]

Dragon Fruit - TFA, mixed at 7% with another 3% ethyl maltol makes a fantastic blend!!

+1 on the Hypnotic Mist! On a side note, I just put 20 drops of Capella's Marshmallow in 20ml of 10% Hypnotic Mist juice. Why? I was bored! gotta tell you, it's pretty darn yummy. Sometimes you just have to think outside the box because that's how you come up with truly unique and delicious recipes.

great thread, MWA.

The State Express 555 Patriot Range flavoring from Totally Wicked was awesome while it lasted. it was identical to Halo's Prime 15 when mixed properly (which is probably why it got pulled). if it ever comes back, i recommend it highly. i add 1% trimethyl pyrizine, its not needed per se, but certainly boosts the flavor.

thanks for the suggestions guys. im still kinda new at DIY, ive only tried a dozen or so TPA flavorings so far (in addition to the TW SE 555). but i plan to make a nice WL purchase soon

Can anyone tell me what Hypnotic Mist tastes like or is a mystery?

 

[Pete54]

It's one of those flavors that can't be described. At least, not by me.

 

[Racehorse]

Can anyone tell me what Hypnotic Mist tastes like or is a mystery?

It tastes mildly citrusey to me.....has shades of that drink from the past I think was called Fresca? I dunno , but that's what I got.

 

[Starlyte2]

I can't seem to get it together with the TFA Black Honey Tob. Help, please What % and/or additives do yuo use with this, as mine is always unvapable.

 

[Starlyte2]

Hypnotic Mist, let's see, I'd guess at herby, sweetish, perfumed, but it's very subjective.Well worth the 3 or 4 euros to try it for yourself. I really like it at moments, add it to other flavours, or change the % between 5 and 10 or even 15, then add to something else or vape as is. BUT it does depend on my moods, and the taste is pretty unique.
