I haven't gotten the shipping notice on mine yet. I have caramel cream, butterscotch x3, and bubblegum ordered, can't wait to try them. After a really bad experience with TPA Kona Coffee, it took a long time to try anything different in the coffee arena. Mine and Hubby's fave coffee vape is my own extraction from Kahlua flavored coffee. We flavor at 12% and add em. And it's not a carto killer! It's also good with a little FE Hazelnut, Vanilla, or Chocolate.

The funny thing about the Kahlua flavored coffe is that we don't get Kahlua flavor, just nice coffee, not harsh like some other coffee extractions we've done. My son's fave vape is 1/3 Kahlua coffee, 1/3 FE banana, 1/3 FE chocloate. I make him 30 mls at a time, so it's easy. I just flavor 10mls of each and mix them. It's really quite good.

Me too. In an eternal quest for a good coffee.

The Kona Cream is a winner in my book. Just tried the Coffee at 10%. Similar to Kona Cream but drier and dirtier (in a good way). So far I dig it.

The Butter Rum tastes like Butter Rum. I might bump it up from 10%.

Forgot I also got some Bavarian Cream. Haven't tried it, but it smells RICH. I don't even know what Bavarian Cream is. Smells like an orangey cream kinda thing.

Can't wait to hear about the ones you have. Especially the chocolates and espresso.

What percentages of pg/vg do you vape?

I usually start with a base of 65/35 and end up and 70/30 or 75/25 after adding flavors.

I had to make a new base for the NF at 50/50. Even after evaporation and mixing with 10% flavoring this still ends up a bit to thin for my Kanger T3s (current favorite). I'll probably go for 50/50 including flavors next.

For those who bought the NF Flavors did you buy the flavorings for coffee and tea? I noticed when these arrived that the bottles says to refrigerate after opening which I did. I also noted that I was told by some others who have been getting the flavors from HDE to stay under ten percent or the flavorings are too strong or get funky. I tried at 5 and 10 and 10 was too much for most of the flavors I have bought so I cut the mixes down. The 5 % versions I am going to try tomorrow.

As far as the consistency, I did not alter my normal PG VG content and the vape was fine at the low percentages I am talking about. The flavorings are thinner than some but no thinner to me than some of the SC's. The odd thing is the bottle reads alcohol, vg and flavoring so the vg must be really low because I can't tell its in there at all.

My first impression even with mixing them a little too high for my taste is these are all good and have alot of potential--will post back later after more flavor testing and perfecting.

Did the alcohol have a cleaner odor compared to the SC's ?

Just tried the Hangsen Deluxe, Tab and Cuba and they are all very good. Why are the tobaccos made by the Chinese so much better as stand alones than those made by everyone else?
I know the Hangsen are nice. I tried TPA and flavorwest tobacco's and I totally dislike them all. (I wasted allot of money on terrible flavorings.)

I have a ton of flavors from Capella, TPA, FA, etc. that I really like to use but if it were not for Hangsen and the super concentrates I would probably be stuck on 100% vender juice which IMO is just Hangsen and the super concentrates. There might be a couple of exceptions out there but not many.

You forgot the grandma's perfume and grandpa's stinky sock vendors juice. I know I seen one vendor who is just using the SC and selling at a very high price. Of course, it is hard to prove but its one of those "you know what ya know" kinda things.

I actually looked the other day at vendors site...at juice prices! :shock::shock:

I forgot to add that it is funny that some of the vendors tout "natural extraction" which is nothing more than a soak in vg or pg and filtered. If it was anything more than that it would require a lab which most do not have.

I forgot I need to contact ecx and ask them if they could add some more Hangsen flavorings to their offerings. I went to the Hangsen site and know they have at least 200 flavors.

That would be great. I've been try to find a source for the ones they don't carry but haven't had any luck.

Hey you guys...I will be making a list of wants in regards to ecx obtaining more Hangsen flavors. Just to clarify...ecx wants to know what flavors we would like. I did email Hangsen to request a list but since I am not a vendor....I don't know if they will respond. In the meantime I will check out some sites I may get some ideas. I know they claim to have 200 flavors or more. Maybe try a Hangsen coffee or a few fruits. IDK but I will most likely be busy this weekend. I have to jaunt to pick up a car at the mechanics.

Oh, and they said they put in the Nature Flavors order....LOL Kona cream especially!
