DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[LookMa`NoSmoK]

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge thread.

Halp me please so I don't have to go read page by page... I'm interested in Coconut and Chocolate flavors.
I find FA Coconut a bit too subtle (though pretty good), so I'm trying to find just a wee bit stronger substitute. Can anyone compare those two?
Also, is chocolate like a milky chocolate, or like a chocolate for cooking, or something else?

The only coconut I have used it the fruit express coconut. It has been a while since I vaped it, but it was great for me when I did, imo not a subtle coconut, I'm sure it could be if mixed at lower % of course. I will dig it up tonight and see if I still think it is as good as I remember it. Mixed w/ chocolate it was great.

The chocolate is good to, % used really changes the flavor for me. Again, need to dig it up.

Oh, awesome. So, if you wrote it down, what % did you use?
Also, if you remember, or are tasting it again, which type of chocolate is it? (as in milky, black, etc etc)

Anyone having trouble logging into ECX?

Actually the twists are pretty nice for the money. they are not like the old style where ya get 3 volt selections it actually goes from 3.2 to 4.8 like a normal VV. Pretty good reviews to.

chocolate is good at many % and changes much throughout them, imo. I liked it best at ~1.5% where it was tootsie-roll like. I added more and it got stronger, which is when I had mixed it with coconut which turned out really good, imo. Coconut very clear coconut flavor, imo. still need to find and vape it.The thing is, I did mix these both with nic that has been starting to overwhelm my flavors, I have yet to remix with my better quality (imo) nic...

Anyone have any comparisons of the ecx strawberry and coconut vs the vz? I am making a vz order for a couple flavors ecx doesnt have but would rather buy the 10 ml from exc of the strawberry and coconut are the same. Thanks in advance.

Re coconut - I've found that a couple coconut flavors I've used are very much like cinnamon and menthol in that their flavor sticks in atties. I forget if you said you use atties at all, but if so, did you find that to be the case with this flavor as well?

If I were you (I'm not, so play along, or not ) I'd wait just a bit more until ECX's latest order comes in to them. It's been in customs a few days already so it should be out to ECX very soon if it's not already. As far as I'm concerned (to my knowledge this hasn't been "proven" as fact) they are the same thing, and I see no point in paying more than twice as much and we've been told there are a LOT of as-yet unlisted flavors in this order they are expecting.

I use attys only. I recall getting coconut only. No Cinnamon or menthol, but now that you mentioned it I will probably get that, with a side of fish. =)

What he said. =)

 

[wolcen]

LOL, no, I mean: cinnamon and menthol both have a habit in my experience of their flavor sticking in the attie. Switch juices and you still taste them for a good bit. I was wondering if this coconut did that like other coconut flavors I've had do the same.

 

[wolcen]

Did a quick remix of 50/50 RealCig & Blackberry. The blackberry obliterated the taste of RealCig. Interesting. I realize that 1+1 != 2 often with juice mixing, but I was still pretty surprised by this result.

In other news...re-wicked my StartduSyringe with a heftier cheesecloth wick and it's working much more consistently.

Oh I would rather wait it just depends on how long. Butterscotch and almond are calling my name. If anyone has a eta on it that would be awesome. The price the other place charges is crazy but I really want those two flavors and they have the ego tank I have been after for a decent price. Decisions, decisions...

Linxx said shipment came in today and will try to get 20 on the site tonight with 5 a day starting Tues til all the new Express flavors are up. As I recall it was to be 140 flavors.

After a month of steeping the Express Dunhill. It's probably one of the best tobaccos I've tasted so far!! It has that classic Chinese tobacco base. There is a nice deep rich aftertaste, that just lingers on the pallet! No candy flavors at all!!!

Thanks for the feedback. Mine has been steeping for a week and I think I will let it sit a little longer now. What percent did you use?

At first it lacked depth. So I added >.5%, and ended up with 3%.

 

[Bocephus]

Jimi do you know if it compares to the vz dunhill? I am almost positive these come from the same place but seems like some of the tobacco blends are different. I read a review that said it nutty tobacco with cream, chocolate and a hint of vanilla and will pick it up if the ecx one is similar cuz it sounds really good. Thanks in advance.

I hope so. I LOVE the VZ Dunhill, especially with the chocolate in it. I'm hoping the ECX is very similar. Ordered it today and crossing fingers.

 

[Jimi D.]

I have both Dunhill's from VZ and ECX, They're different, as the VZ Dunhill has that Dekang nutty base taste, with a buttery sweet undertone.
The ECX Dunhill shares the same tobacco base, as the VZ Real Cig, but with more depth, and richness.
