I was going to do it anyway so I mixed up some strong menthol this morning that came out similar to extreme ice. I used a touch too much menthol but it's certainly vapor worthy. I smoked strong menthols and this stuff certainly won't go to waste.

It seems my tastebuds woke back up as well. I still wasn't happy with those fairly complex mixtures I had made. I will try adding some more flavor possibly but they are already quite high in flavor percentage. I suspect the lemon juice and sweetener flattened them.

So I started over and mixed up some 10 percent TFA Juicy Peach. It was nice but a tad weak so I bumped it up to 15% and I liked it a lot more. Then I worked with some TFA whipped cream until I was up to 6% and I was very happy with that mixture fresh. We will see how it ages. I may steep it to see what happen.

I also did the same with some TFA Strawberry and worked my way up to 10% strawberry and 5% sweet cream. It's decent as well but I may increase the strawberry just a bit.

At least I'm having some success today.

A few days later and the fruit flavors came on strong. The peach has turned a perfumey floral. I will need to back off the peach percentage in the future. The strawberry at 10% was almost too strong as well. Both seem to need a touch more cream as well.

It's just like everyone says...you gotta start with some simple flavors and see where you like them as far as percentage. Once I get these two down I can try maybe adding some cinnamon or something to them. I have found that keeping my Igo-W with a single coil that I can quickly change wicks on comes in handy for trying new mixes.
