Clove flavor? No clue what to do with it and have a question about mettallic taste...

[Slipstitch]

Recently I got a clove flavor from my local vapor shop(Smoke Smart, epic pricing, some tasty juices, awesome customer service) but it tastes like straight clove oil. I was so hoping it would taste like the old Djarum blacks, with that sweet kick you got from the filter, but it doesn't. In fact it kind of kicks me in the face. It's an extraordinarily STRONG flavor. What could I mix with it to make it at least usable instead of just chilling out in the liquid and parts box?

Secondly, I picked up a couple flavors from another store called Move 2 Vapor. They're pretty delicious, or seemed so, when I tried them and they let you keep their testers. I got gingerbread, candy cane, and Cinnamon Red Hots. All three I've noticed since then have a rather extreme metal taste to them, which I previously thought might just be the tank I was using so I put it into one of the empty disposable cartridges they sell but I can still taste it. Less so with the candy cane, which is in one of those t3 type tanks(but it's still there), the red hot I can't vape at all(makes me short of breath, badly). The gingerbread I can taste it really severely though. Would it be the juices? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong and didn't know it?

And lastly, I discovered a particularly tasty mix for chocolate covered bananas. Get a really good quality, strong banana flavor and a chocolate flavor that tastes like dark chocolate. Two parts banana to one part chocolate. Seriously tasty for the face.

their are a couple recipes on a recipe site...I don't recall off hand (e-cig recipe book?), but they had an apple cider with it, and a couple holiday recipes that used it. One was pumpkin pie like and the other was an eggnog type. Also check the DIY recipe thread. They might have some more ideas for you.

Thank you ^_^

You could tone it down with unflvored juice, or mix it with a flavor that would be appropriate with clove, such as apple pie, or maybe a subtle flavor like a tea. I suggest leaving the clove flavor uncapped overnight to let it settle. Also, if that is a tobacco flavor, it will take a couple of weeks for the tobacco flavor to come forth. Just the nature of the beast. With clove being such a dominant flavor, no matter what it is mixed with, it will take time for the background flavors to spring to life.

As far as I know it's a straight clove flavor. I actually have left it uncapped in open air for several days now hoping that maybe it would humble itself a little, I also tried mixing it with a banana I got that is particularly strong and it's still incredibly overpowering. It's kind of like if you took straight clove oil and shoved it in your face :/ I'm thinking about seeing about getting some super sweet concentrates and making up a diy recipe with that. Perhaps if I make one sweet enough... Though the idea of doing a snickerdoodle recipe or some kind of pumpkin pie is also particularly enticing.

Edit(I hate spamming my own threads, lol): I did also find and purchase a set of several LorAnn concentrate flavors on Ebay. I'm hoping perhaps one of them will work... butter rum, cinnamon roll, cherry, melon, piña colada, tutti fruitti, mint chocolate chip, egg nog, pineapple, and cotton candy.

Clove and butter rum actually sounds like it could do well in the right proportions, don't you think?

Use it to polish your samurai swords.

(Ok, plus one for anyone who actually gets that reference. I'm a total nerd.)

 

[Slipstitch]

I'm not completely certain of the reference, though it sounds like I should totally know. It still made me giggle though, lol

I saw an eliquid vendor that had a clove-tobacco flavor. Got any tobacco flavors you like you can add a bit of the clove too?

 

[Slipstitch]

I'm considering getting some of the rum butter tobacco and adding it to that. Hopefully that will be similar to what I'd hoped the clove would be when I bought it, lol.

Also, my shipment of the LorAnns concentrates came in today(three days early o.o') Now I have lots of good smells that aren't useful yet, lol.

Ancient samurai used a mineral oil laced with clove to polish their blades. It left a distinct sweet smell. Choji oil.

And now I know. Huzzah edumacation! ^_^ Now I just need a sword...
