JimiD, I believe I read you said you enjoyed the Essence Hava, correct? Do you happen to recall what ballpark % that was at please? I started around 1% and slowly worked up a couple drops at a time...at this point I guess I don't really know where I'm at, but still below 10% anyway (maybe 7%?) Perhaps I just gotta wait a bit? I'm too impatient to mix sometimes! Do these really require steeping, or would you say these give a good notion of where they are going earlier on?
How did you perceive this flavor anyway? It's a very vague flavor to me; Not at all in your face when mixed - and I actually think I'm getting close to where it "should" be for my taste buds. Something of an strange (somewhat chemical at this point) smokiness and tobacco notions and just a touch nutty (much less nutty than I expected after smelling the flavoring), but argh...I dunno.
Sigh...I thought I had at least twice the Ice left than I actually did - this was the last of it! Oh well. I was fooled into thinking I had more by guessing at the amount in a bottle size I don't often use. Frickin geometry messin with my head! So much for those graduated cylinders I bought, huh?
Hi wolcen.Hangsen Hava is one of my favorites. I mix at 8% and steep for 1 month.
