DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[Jimi D.]

Thanks Sparky. I did see that one and considered it, but I can't find much info from members who have actually used it. The wick from the tank down to the coil/wick looks complicated. I may still give it a shot though, since it is affordable as these things go.

EDIT: The Dream might be another option, but I haven't read many good reviews on that one either...

They vape great as long as the wicks are set correctly. I'm gonna try a micro in mine tonight. The only downfall is that they hold very little juice.

Okay, I know that this is a DIY thread and I am hijacking it (Sorry DIY folks!!), but what do you mean by setting the wicks correctly? I just tried my first micro coil in an IGO-L and set it too high...will try a long-leg micro coil tonight.

I was thinking of the Ody clone. Not the European original.

That makes more sense to me I was like "whoa, really? Who doesn't love their Odysseus?!"

The OP says anything goes in this thread In the dreamtank the wicks must be cut at the right length so it wont flood or dry out. There are two slots where the juice feeds. Cut them so they barely touch the slots. I've been playing with the micros. I get better results if I space the coils.

I bet it's really nice All I have are Cheap tanks, but really nice Filipino RDA's and an Nzonic mech.

Hey guys thinking of trying some flavors and could use some reviews and opinions

TFA: Juicy peach and Honey and Grape Juice

NF: Butterscotch and Caramel Cream

Also need advice on the NF butterscotch.I want a creamy butterscotch so what NF flavor should I mix with it ?

Also want to make a good apple with TFA flavorings.Should I go with the regular apple or green apple or granny smith? I want to try the apple with sour and another batch with Koolada.

 

[Vash]

Also anyone have any credit card issues lately with ECX? I havent but friend said he read some have and hes not sure if he should order from them.Like I said Ive never had any issues but thought I would check quick with you guys before I place any orders or he does thanks

Hey Vash...well, you know my TFA opinion, so I can't help you there. I just got some MBV whipped cream juice, and it is great for adding creamy tones and mouth feel to other juices. I have heard that MBV often uses Flavor West flavorings, so maybe that could be useful if they make a Whipped Cream flavoring?

I read about that issue about a month ago, but I haven't heard of anyone having an ECX problem lately...just that Madvapes got hacked recently. There have been others who had their credit cards compromised, but the word seems to be that the processors are the weak link in security instead of the vendors themselves. I don't know who is responsible, but it definitely makes me nervous.

Yeah I know your feelings on TFA LOl, I could try the FW whipped cream but Im thinking either a NF cream to go with their own butterscotch might be better or maybe a Capella cream since I have liked every one I have tried from them.Anyone use Capella Vanilla custard before? Thinking that might work well with the NF butterscotch.

I did try the VZ SC Cream...it's pretty good, but I don't know how well it will mix with other flavoring types.

 

[Vash]

Yeah doesnt seem to be specific to one site but vaping sites in general.Thanks for flavor advice my friend.Thinking I will just skip the butterscotch for now and try the NF Caramel cream instead.Does anyone tend to sweeten their NF mixes? I find that with Capella stuff I dont need to but I have never tried NF stuff before.

I mixed mine at 3%, and tastes like a ripe juicy mango. It takes a few days to a week to get sweeter. I've found this with most Hangsen fruit flavors.

I just smelled the Hangsen Mango and it is strong.

Do you like the smell? I love it !

 

[michaelsil1]

Do you like the smell? I love it !

Yes I did. I mixed it with some cream

FA Vienna Cream 3%
Hangsen Mango 3%


Unless you can think of something better

Sounds good. If the cream over powers the mango. Try 1 % cream

 

[michaelsil1]

Thanks, I will.

I smelled it after I mixed it and I could still smell the Mango.

Sounds like it's going to be tasty. I'm vaping the Juicy Peach right now. Tastes amazing !

The Cap VC is really good - if you're after a rich, creamy vanilla. I think it would be great with the NF butterscotch. The NF butterscotch and caramel cream are both really good flavors. They're pretty similar to Capellas - already rich and sweet tasting, IMO. I never sweeten them.

I love Juicy Peaches don't tell me I'm going to have to try the Hangsen Juicy Peach.

I can go on for days about these flavors
