DIY Extracts First Attempt Pre-Steep Results

[dc99]

I wanted to provide a few quick updates. First, not vape related, today is 9 days after starting the vanilla bean & cinnamon extracts sublingually, and I finally started feeling some hip pain - during the winter I typically have the pain every 3-4 days. Good validation to keep using it every AM.

Received my order on TFA flavors - Ripe Strawberry, Juicy Pineapple & Guava.

TFA Guava: Get the HAZMAT gear on because this .... is STRONG! The flavors are very broad and floral with so many different notes it will keep your taste buds working hard. Do not use more than 1%, I started with 19% and almost had my family evacuate the house - it tastes better than it smells, apparently. Don't bother steeping or it might spontaneously combust.

TFA Ripe Strawberry: This has great depth of flavor and very smooth. Great base flavor and I expect will mix well with other flavors. Probably 10-20% concentration in your recipe. Very good shake & vape.

TFA Juicy Pineapple: Great flavor, good depth but not as strong as I had hoped. On the TFA website they talked about how strong the regular pineapple was so tried this first. I might have to try the original pineapple. Probably need at least 17-20% to get flavor, to my liking, from this.

TFA SB Ripe seems to top out around 10-12%(for me), after that it starts to mute itself (it contains quite a bit of maltol). At higher % it may taste stronger but it loses its true flavor and just becomes a SB mess. It does play well in mixes and blends well with other SB's. One of my fav SB bases is SB ripe and CAP sweet SB. Kind of the same with the juicy PA. To me the regular ones taste almost the same without any juiciness. It blends well with CAP golden PA. If you can vape TFA guava you are a badder man than me. Try the CAP sweet guava. Guava and PA play well together.
