Got my NF flavorings in from the coop! Wow does this stuff smell awesome! Not even sure where I should even start with these. Any got a average flavor % I should start at for these?

I'd start with 5% for the coffees and go from there. Marshmallow and chocolates and caramel cream were too much for me at 10%. I made none above 10%. Looking forward to your impressions.

Nice selection! I have Caramel Cream, Butterscotchx3, and Bubblegum. Caramel Cream and Butterscotchx3 do have diacetyl, so I am vaping them very sparingly. They didn't blow me away like I thought they would. Don't get me wrong, they're really good, but I think I'd prefer them as mixers. I haven't mixed the Bubblegum yet, but it smells just like Bazooka. I did evaporate mine down about 1/3 before making juice.

I am sure I'll be trying more NF flavors.

I think I agree with you about mixers aspect. There are a few stand outs I am sure, one for me is the Kona Cream but overall I agree.

I mixed three Nature Flavors yesterday. 5% Kona cream, caramel creme and butterscotch. They do smell good. I mixed them as single flavors. I have them steeping in a safe place right now. I did taste test the Kona right after mixing...all I tasted was the alcohol so it will be a few more days of a power steep. I am using samples I bought from HDV since ecx forgot about these flavors. :)

Cool. Can't wait to get your feedback on them. Try putting a little malt with one of your tobaccos and see how you like it

I got some FA Virginia with a couple of drops of Fire to check it out with. Will let you guys know what i think but I may play around with mixing these flavors together right away. Kona I am going to mix alone for sure. the Chai Im really interested in doing solo as well. Think Im going to try Strawberry, Vanilla with some Malt. Maybe some Cake Batter with Bavarian Creme and some English Toffee.


Aslo went to the NF website and under the flavor section there is ecigarette section but when you click it nothing happens.

Just FYI. The FA Fresh Cream works very well with the NF stuff, wish I had a gallon of it.

What would you folks use to mix with NF Caramel Cream and Butterscotchx3.

With the Butterscotchx3, I was thinking maybe banana or apple, maybe even a bit of Irish cream.

Looking for ideas...for a nice smooth flavor.

Back when I was buying pre-made juice, there was a butterscotch cookie that I really liked. That might be something to try. I never got a great DIY version to work, but I only had FA cookie back then (which I never got that into anyway). I'll have to try it again now that I have some cookie flavors that I like more.

This is regularly the fastest moving thread in my subscriptions. I've actually been back around for a bit, but only finally caught up today.

Glad yer all still talking up the great recipes and ideas. I'm down to <15ml of 20mg base at the moment, so I'm pretty out of the mixing fun for a little while but wanted to stop in and say "Hi!" anyway now that I'm caught up with ya's.

Seems the Chinese New Years' present to the USA was a nic shortage this year [of course, largely related to coinciding with FDA fears] :) It was a battery shortage last year, wasn't it?

Hi good to see you! I think fear created a demand for nicotine this year. I hope some is left for me......

Well don't all stop talking now that I'm caught up! :p

What's/how's everyone doing?

Up until today, I've been using almost exclusively my Bully and a DC carto as a backup. I finally did a bunch of atty rebuilding today though and I'm very happy with the results. I changed the Stardust I have over to cotton, as well as an E1 that I mucked up on the first attempt. Rebuilt the Bully (aka Pheonix) since my last coil experiment didn't turn out so well. Finally I gave my de-tankified CE-9 (aka Siren) one more shot; I'd all but given up on that one. Finally, the SS mesh atty I have (GotVapes calls it Monster Mesh...I forget the more common name) is running fresh 500 SS and appears to be stable...at last!

The CE-9 was the biggest surprise. I hated that thing with the tank on it (at least as much as any other tank style I've used), but with the pin removed, and the tank chopped it was better, but not quite right. Today though, I got lucky with how I put it together and it's working really well. I think it might just replace the Bully as my favorite for dripping. I also have always favored a fluted tip, so that's a bonus with it too. The Bully may not be the best designed dripping atty around, but it has been my old faithful for quite a while now - bent screw and loose post be damned - it's still worked very well for me.

So while I can't really mix much new, I do have enough juice to get me by for a while, and now a bunch of atties that have me feeling like I just got vape mail today. Gotta get that fix from somewhere I guess :)

YO Jimi,

I finally got my "Line" clone (chang chang) set up. This thing hits pretty good. I opened up the wick hole, the fill hole and the air hole in the top cap. Also scored up the contacts with a small file so that the wire sticks to it a little better.

I dropped mine already from one of those middle of the night vapes. It was attached to my extended Provari. The damn thing bent. The next day I tried to straighten it out. I snapped the connector clean off. I need another one again. LOL

i'm now vaping the RY1. I see they were aiming for a cig taste back then. This tastes like a peppery tobacco. Dry and definitely not as sweet. Now to mix a bigger batch. This is an all day vape for me !

I did the same thing to my "DID" a while back and broke the center pole. I had to grind down one from a clone to use in it.

Oh no ! That's terrible ! Was it the brass or the SS post? I decided to replace the Line clone with a BT-804 Dream (Kayfun clone). This probably would be better for me at work. I'd go nuts if I'd get a short while at work LOL
