DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[Rlafontaine1971]

I ordered some Barley Malt Extract from NF when I saw somebody posting in another thread that they were offering free shipping. NF is one of the few places that i've found that carry it but never pulled the trigger because the shipping was so outrageous. I've been wanting to experiment a little with that extract for a while now so i'm looking forward to getting it. I've also been wanting to pick up their butterscotch to try that COV clone but after bankrupting myself on my kids Christmas I couldn't stomach over $30 for two new flavors. It is a pretty good deal for 4 oz though.

Hey Stash, hollar at us after you try that butterscotch!

I will for sure do that, I ordered yesterday, they did not ship to me today, I heard they are slow to ship even when there is a shipping charge .. gawd only knows how long it takes them to ship when it is F-R-E-E.

 

[Bovinia]

They are a little slow to ship, but I usually have mine within about 10 days.

I dont know its still pricey IMO for flavoring that I havent tried. Wish they offer smaller samples.

I did ask ecx to carry this flavoring (Nature Flavors). The only thing I remember was he was considering. It has been months.

Highdesertvapes sells sample size. 3mL is the smallest. I think I will eventually grab a few samples when they have a decent diy sale.

Well I ordered the 4oz size of the Butterscotch3X .. ummmmmm .. have no clue if I will like it or not but the price of the smaller sizes versus the 4oz size was so little that I said "what the heck". Dont know what I was thinking at the time .. duh .. cuz odds are I will hate it .. ha ha ha .. I have so many flavors and hate most of them. Have vaped the same DIY that I started with for over a year, I try new ones. hate them and always end up going back to my everyday 24/7 one. Hint to self ... should stop ordering new flavorings.

That sounds like me Stash! My main vape is a recipe I've been making for over a year, and I've been vaping the NF Caramel Cream for about 2 years. Lately this fine group here got me to try some new flavors and I've added 2 new favs to my round up. The Black 'n Milk, and Oba Oba that I also add a couple of drops of FA Coconut to. And you're right, it makes sense to order the bigger bottles from NF.

Is the NF caramel cream tough on cartos?

Yes, this thread can be dangerous. But I have also picked up a few flavors from it that I never would have tried and I do also vape those on and off each day. One of those is the TFA Caramel Cappucino with a little Sweet Cream .. never would have thought to even try it, especially at just 1 drop per 10ml LOL. I also vape a little VZ Honey Flue Cured a little everyday, dont know what ECX calls that one on their site but I also make it for 2 of my friends who vape it 24/7. Other than those 2 I vape my Caramel Candy recipe the rest of the time.

2 days ago I made some TFA Black Honey Tobacco, tried it this morning and it didnt seem to have enough tobacco taste in it .. I tasted anise or licorice or something else in it. Maybe it needs to steep longer, I'll try it again in a few days.

Today I got a Kanger T3 in the mail, wasnt too crazy about it at first but then read about removing the extra wicking it has inside it and now it is very nice!

No ma'am Jewels! It isn't tough on them at all That's one of the main reasons I use it over FA caramel with cream added to it. I also have NF's straight up Caramel to use in my caramel coconut cookie main vape.

Ohhh, where did you read that? I didn't like mine either, if there is a way to salvage it I'm all ears.

Good to hear that, I have some of the NF Caramel Cream coming, along with the Butterscotch. My main vape has Caramel Candy, Bavarian Cream, Cookie and Sweet Cream in it .. it is pretty carto friendly .. am hoping the NF is too.

 

[ToweKnee]

Ok the links you guys posted a few pages ago from NF are now gone. I cant figure out what type of flavoring you guys are ordering. Is it flavor extracts or Oragnaic Flavors?

 

[stashbldr]

This is the link to the Caramel Cream .. it is Organic Coffee and Tea Flavoring.

Organic Caramel Cream Coffee and Tea Flavoring System (Kosher, Vegan, Gluten Free)

 

[Bovinia]

Yep, it used to be very easy to find the right flavorings on the NF site, but about a year ago they changed their menu system...not for the better IMHO.

Try this link Organic Flavors for coffee beans

@Bovina.. I remove the little plastic washer-O ring. I figured if one has a vv or vw it works fine. I would/cannot use this on a ego type batt. I did try this on a vapor4life twist thing. Its okay if you don't know any better. However, I'm spoiled with true VV/VW. The nasty plastic/burn taste will go away if you remove the o-ring. I would keep an eye on it for a few fills just in case. I know they have a few different versions of the t-3. One has 2 holes and the other has 3 holes (vent). There is also a difference in height.

I purchased from Stormys and a coOP. Let me know if you need any more help with the T-3. Rinse out the plastic tank on it as well. Warm water should suffice.

EDit: the o-ring is actually on the remove-able head. Here is a photo of the head.

That little o-ring on top is useless.

I think ecx wants people to help with his website. I don't have the time. However, for you folks who do I would jump on this because I see its been posted,

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...est-giving-away-3x-100-gift-certificates.html

I would love to see one of our own....LOL the folks who are on this thread....to win. I know...I know....I am wicked!

 

[ToweKnee]

How much flavoring on a average is needed for a mix using NF? Will start the savings now lol. I did say next year didn't I ?

 

[Bovinia]

I'm not the one to answer that question TK...I mix the Caramel Cream at 20% lol.

Thanks for the advice Sdh, it may be too late to fix the only T3 I have. I had some crispy wick ends and snipped them off, then pulled the wicks out a little bit, but it still tastes toasted.

Just saw on another thread that Nature's Flavoring has extended their free shipping offer until January 1 at 11:59pm.

 

[my4jewels]

Okay, I'm totally in on this!! I read everything on this thread, but I forgot to take notes. I need recipes and a shopping list. I am very happy with my fruity concoctions, but I have found that lots of my bakery and creamy mixes are carto killers. I am looking for some lovely sweet bakery flavors that won't kill my cartos. Caramel cream is on my list for sure. Help me out here.
