DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[Rlafontaine1971]

I think I must be some kind of mutant, I can't decide on anything to like consistently, besides variety, LOL! Since I'm home almost always, I have this nutty thing I do. I have my flavors mixed separately, nic and all. I have a slew of cartos on hand, and a bunch of tall condoms (who coined that?) saved. I take the flavors I want to mix and add some of this and that to the condom, stick the carto in, screw side down (screw, condoms, porno thread?) soak up my concoction and vape. Most of the time it's so so and I just keep working on trying to improve it. As the carto gets low, I'll repeat the procedure somewhat different until I get something I really like, at which point I'll make a bottle at the same ratio. (Or close to) If I feel I'm at a dead end, sometimes I will just blow out the carto into a paper towel and start over. It helps not to stray too far flavor-wise, or else save separate cartos for stronger flavors...depends on my mood that day. But it's fun! I do also have tanks and T2s and bigger clearos for real vaping, but I'd say half the time I spend just flavor futzing. Geez, even that sounds kinda obscene! I'm gonna go wash my hands out with soap. ha ha

I like variety too. When I first started I just wanted to find that one perfect juice that I could use all the time but now I just keeping switching back and forth and trying to come up with new stuff. I have no idea how I smoked the same damn cigarette for so long. I'm kind of a chain vaper so if I stick with one juice for too long it just starts losing its flavor and is not as enjoyable.

Oba Oba is great but I used it in a mix and not straight. It makes a fantastic lemon drop candy with some lemon sicily.

I think 10% is good but I bumped mine up to 13% for a little extra flavor. If I had let my 10% steep longer I probably wouldnt have had to though.

cool I will have to give it a try

I used to do that a lot too, but without the condom part - I just mixed my flavors in a 10ml bottle, and carried that in my pocket to top my carto throughout the day. I found a handful of favorite recipes that way, and now I mix big bottle of those... so motivation to keep experimenting is a lot less now. When I switched to carto tanks, I stopped mixing in a bottle and started just doing little mixes in my tanks.

I'll give the ObaOba a try in around a week.

Vape Wizard contains a woody note. Magic Mask is the same thing, but has a sweet note. I use 1 drop per 30ml.

I don't use vape wizard or magic mask. I tried the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar tips and didn't like the outcome of either one.

 

[FranC]

Good to know Bov.....now I won't LOL

Me too Bov. I added only a minute amount of vinegar into some Black Fire once. I steeped it for a week. The final outcome was a pickle aged in mesquite barrels.

 

[FranC]

That does not sound good Jimi

It was terrible Fran. I didn't get why consumers wanted to modify the Ph in the first place. That just changes the way the flavoring compounds were designed.

 

[FranC]

I dislike vinegar and really couldn't see adding either that or lemon juice to my mixes. Now I know for sure I don't want to!!

I've played around with both Vinegar and Lemon Juice a good bit over the last few weeks. The only benefit that I've personally noticed with Vinegar is that a small amount can help mellow out super concentrated alchohol based flavors (if you use too much) and a very small amount of lemon juice can help perk up some fruit types but I have had better results with "tart and sour". I thought that there might be something to it at first but it didnt pan out (not for me anyway). Vinegar has worked great with cleaning old juice bottles though... My personal thoughts (as of right now) would be,

Some flavors suck!!!!!!! Vinegar is not going to help them
Some flavors are great!!!!! Vinegar is not going to make them better

Some flavors suck!!!!!!! Vinegar is not going to help them
Some flavors are great!!!!! Vinegar is not going to make them better

Some flavors need time!!!!.. and a drop of vinegar!

I broke down and ordered the FA Black Tea, and a few more flavors that I don't have. The Chai latte is going to be a challenge.
