thank you for the update salem :)

wolcen don't worry about TH and cotton, trust me :)

if you find that you need to increase TH, whatever black pepper you have in your cupboard steeped in vodka (highest proof you can get) will rock your world.

Mix equal parts pepper and booze, and just let the pepper sit for a day or two, shake here and there, and after all is said and done you'll have a clear layer sitting on the top. Draw that clear layer off with a syringe or whatever you have handy, and add one drop at a time to some juice. I said one drop, take heed, its like a flame thrower :)


EDIT: I typed that wrong, it should be one part pepper to two parts vodka ;)

Heck take a serious Hot Chili pepper and do an extract with some PG, cut the pepper open and pour a little PG or VG into the cup with the Chili peper, let it sit for 2 days and pour the PG/VG into a small glass bottle, only use 1 drop in your mix at a time till you have it where you want it,,, serious TH will be had :ohmy:


On a second note, has anyone tried the high power Blueberry flavoring yet ? I just tried a Blueberry/Ginseng juice that I really like and want to make some, so looking for the best Blueberry I can find, and hoping this is it :) let me know if you have tried it please

I dont like using the Alcohol, heck I usually cook my VG and flavoring mixture to get rid of the Alocohol when I mix, dont know if you guys are doing this or not, but try mixing everything up but your Nic,,,in a glass bottle of course, once you have your mix all made up less the Nic, put in Micro for 12-14 second's ONLY,,,, then pull out and let stand until it hits room temp,,,, then add your Nic,,,, this will also make it so you dont have to steep your juice that much at all,,, brings everything together.

As far as the Chili peper try it with just PG/VG no Alcohol,,,, and one drop at a time as it really adds TH, to me the Alcohol just isnt good in the juice, but works great for cleaning Atty's :)


Who has tried the darn Blueberry ?

Flavour Art caramel isn't much on it own, is it? I haven't tried it since adding more ethyl maltol, but even with 5 days steep time I just don't get much out of it flavor wise (stopped at 20%). Catalan Cream is pretty good, but probably needs something to add a little body/sweet creaminess to it IMO, defiantly something I'll be playing with. Whiskey comes across more as just a strong alcohol flavor, maybe slightly whiskey like in flavor, probably be good mixed with another whiskey flavor and either something leathery (hello cuban supreme) or oaky/earthy. Cappuccino is tasty alone, and feels like it would benefit from the addition of a straight coffee to kick it up.

Just my thoughts on my recent purchase.

Ok guys! I mixed up the tobacco extract (TPA) All I can say right now is wet ashtray. However, this will need to steep. It has a mix of cigar, tobacco, vanilla and RY4 in it. Plus two drops of TE. It smells like a wet cig. I don't know if its me but I can actually smell the atomizer frying this stuff. I intended to use only one drop. However, two drops came out. This is an experiment anyways. If the two drops per 20ml is too much I will remix at one drop.

MWA, I have cooked the alcohol off my Natures Flavors flavoring before by placing in shallow glass bowl and nuking for 20 seconds but have not cooked it in the PG or VG.

I keep enough mixed up that I don't have to rush the steeping process :)

Not just cooking the Alcohol off Salem, but there is something more into brewing the juice I feel, it really mends everything together nice and the flavor shines, I use all VG,,,VG Nic base as well, so brewing the flavoring into the VG works really well for me, its not just about steeping. I also like my juice more on the fresh side then steeped and this process just works for me.

I guess everyone is a bit different, but I dont like a long long steeped juice, I feel it hurts the juice more then helps it at certain times, just me,if your not brewing it then it can steep longer of course,, but I would rather use a bottle of ketchup that's only a week old, then one that 2 months old, same with my juice, I have tried my DIY's many different ways, Brewing it and using it has been the very best for me. I make my batches once a month, so nothing is older then a month for the most part. This may not be for everyone but I find juice that is over steeped and that sits for to long has a different twist to it that I dont like as much. for me fresh is best.

We must have a different batch, the one I got took half an hour to drip one drop =)

I might have to give it a shot.
