DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[Sdh]

I would also note that maybe a little steep time could help. I try to wait to taste my flavors.

Yes, sorry I didn't specify that it is the tobacco Express line from ECX, I thought that was more clear....

Is it too concentrated? I don't think so because I started with 20 drops/1ML of nic juice and with one drop flavor, tasted nothing, and then moved up from there drop by drop.

The post that mentioned the ONE drop was in a 3ML bottle of nicotine mix - the post is here

Right on. For me and my nic base I need 2 drops per ml of the ry4 to get good flavor, apx. the same for the 555. French Pipe and cigar still good at 1 drop per ml. I did notice that after my RY4 sat literally only a few days it seemed a tat stronger. By no means though enough to make up for the lack of flavor you are talking about.

I see, read it wrong.

Wow, that sounds really odd. Like I said I haven't tried these tobaccos at all. I have tried the other vendor Sdh mentioned, and if they are anything alike, you can't tell much of anything about what they're going to taste like immediately after mixing. At least some minimal steep time is required before you can draw any conclusions, and sometimes it's a few days before you really know where the flavor is headed. That's been my experience anyway.

I am confussed, you mention 3 ml --1 drop, 1ml--20 drops

1 ml is ~20 drops PG (I believe). with these flavorings i believe it is 1ml = ~30-50 drops.

And 1 user said they had 1 drop of ry4 in 3ml base, with good results.

Yes its fun now i have some thin latex or whatever they are gloves to were instead of doing it barehanded.
Bought a 25ml glass cylinder that i will use this eve when our glass bottles some in mail .

I was back reading and saw about the ce2s which i use all the time i forget who mention them .

The plastic tube ones i have tried several and do not care as for me personally they impart some sort of plastic taste.
I use the stainless tube ones they have ce2 inside @2.6 -2.8ohm's and have a wonderful clean taste just after a while they start to clog.

The phoenix a ce3 bottom coil in some sort of small plastic tube that hols about 1.2 -1.5 ml does not impart a plastic taste for me what so ever and vapes really well. I have been using same one since Monday and have no complaints.
No leaks no juice in mouthpiece all the while i have them laying on there side its great for me.
Easy to dis assemble and clean coil i have done once so far put back together and its good to go .

Personally i think they got this one right but i have read some complaints about them but i dont have those problems they mention luckily and to make sure i opened several others to see if there ok and there just fine.
So i order more of them as i like them better than the stainless tube ones which well are top coil.

Sorry if i got off track in this flavor thread.

I love my glass cylinders DL, please! take my advice and always, always wear gloves. I never touch my nicotine without them on. I do use 100 mg per ml nic but I have mixed with lower nic and I am here to tell you that spills and drips happen when pouring. Trust me when I tell you that it can make you very sick.

We love it when you take a thread off track

It is always fun to post and then look down to see that you have quite the audience lol

Still though, from my experience with them, flavor should be coming through at a much lower % than reported here.

 

[salemgold]

The taste is about the same as a ce2 .
Cleanest taste i hear is dripping but thats not for me though im sorry to say im to lazy for that and would have to put on my reading glasses.

You could always get a DOD and look like you are vaping a bubble pipe lol I do hear that they work well though.

question about gloves and mixing, I purchased xx large gloves from 2 venders but cannot get them on my hand cause they burst like a balloon. tried edmont chemical gloves but they are not tight fitting so i drop stuff. how important are they, i try hard not to get on hands and wash always. any info or suggestions?

I get the Mr Clean brand disposable gloves from the dollar store. They fit well and I am able to reuse them several times. Plus, the price is right.

Using safety equipment also know as PPE(personal protective equipment) is a huge priority in DIY.

I got my first taste of the tobacco flavors last night and then today. I have to say I am very disappointed... they are incredibly weak compared to - not only other flavor manufacturers - but according to the reports that have been made here.

I really don't understand it. Because I know that another poster here wrote that the RY4 took ONE drop to make a good mix. I put almost half the flavor bottle in a 30ml in order to get SOME flavor at all to the mix. The caramel is almost nonexistent.

Did I get a bad batch, and should I try to return it? I kinda feel ripped off, which is odd because I've gotten great results using Ecigexpress so far.

The MLB needed to be mixed at 25% and the 555 needed an even higher percentage to get a taste at all, and not even close to a strong taste at that.

Should I return these? IMO, they totally suck

Wow, I would contact linnx if I were you. While it is true that everyones taste is different, there are way too many people reporting that these flavors are very strong. I have never had to use customer service at ECX but I am thinking that they will take care of it for you.

Please do report back and let us know.

Sach i believe Kumar is stating 20 =1 ml of nic juice or there base and started with 1 drop of flavoring to that and tasted nothing.

In other words 1 ml of base which was 20 total drops, then 1 drop of flavoring added to that .

 

[KumariHPX]

Would anyone like to try to describe the taste of this TE-RY4 flavor? I am getting a weird synthetic perfumey taste, no caramel, no vanilla, and just a little tobacco. it's not good. What did yours taste like? (I know taste of subjective, but please try)

I am confussed, you mention 3 ml --1 drop, 1ml--20 drops

I used 20 drops to equal 1ML of nicotine mix (PG/VG 50/50), then added one drop of the TE-ECX flavor (that equals 2% of flavoring)

The report I was going on was a mix of 1 drop flavor per 3ML (equals about .1% flavoring)

I get the Mr Clean brand dispoable gloves from the dollar store. They fit well and I am able to reuse them several times. Plus, the price is right.

How much do they cost?

 

[salemgold]

looking at 3x on mortition supplys now, tired of buying a box that wont work

If you have any type of General Dollar or Family Dollar close, the gloves I mentioned are inexpensive and no need to pay shipping. They are small enough to fit small hands with the fexibility to fit large hands.

does the (too much flavoring cancels flavor) apply with super concentrated?

Good point! It could do exactly that.

 

[salemgold]

Huh, well spank me for assuming.

Okay, we owe ya

 

[KumariHPX]

Oh! That does not sound like these flavoring concentrates. Maybe ask Linx for a new batch.

Hi, thanks for the feedback everyone. A couple of you have mentioned Linx - how do I get in touch with this person specifically?

I will go through customer service if I need to but if there's a user on here, I think that might get better results.

THANKS!

The person that posted that also posted later in the thread that she likes her RY4 weak and would be considered a flavor wimp by the standards of most.

Most folks are using 1 drop per ml of base to get good flavor.
