DIY Flavoring Thread - Part 2

[salemgold]

Can someone explain the taste of Hava? I'm thinking of trying it but I'm wondering if it's a cigar vape. I've never smoked cigars and hubby doesn't either. I actually hate the smell of them.

I have not tried that one but pretty sure it is supposed to taste like a Havana Cigar.

Salem how would you mix coffee and hazelnut per 5 ml for the new flavors?

Guess that means I would not like it. Thanks

I had some FA Hazelnut once that I quickly got rid of because it was too strong for me. If I were attempting to mix it with the coffee, I would mix the coffee at 2.5% ( 1 drop per ml) and then start with 1 drop of hazelnut until it was where I wanted it. If the FE Hazelnut is anywhere near as strong as FA, 1 drop may be all it takes lol

ETA- So, I would add 5 drops coffee to 5 ml and start with 1 drop hazelnut.

If you dislike cigars that strongly, you might not like it.

I used to like a good cigar when i would drink. Never did like the cheap ones. The Black and Mild tastes like a good cigar IMO.

TY Salem. Anything's worth a try I guess. I might like what I think I don't.

So true! I never thought that I would ever like to vape coffee and did not even try it until I had been vaping for about a year and a half. Once I tried it, I found that I love it.

Another thing that I do is keep about 120 mls of my base premixed. I dilute the nic with the PG and or VG to my desired strength. That way all I have to do is pour the base in the bottles and add flavor when I want to mix. That helps a lot IMO

 

[FranC]

That's funny cause that's what I do too. I just mixed up 60ml of base in preparation for the new juices.

 

[salemgold]

I think that many people do that. I wanted to make sure that you knew.

 

[FranC]

I'm a lazy mixer. Easy is good.

 

[FranC]

When I started DIY I found every recipe I thought I had a chance on liking and mixed them up. Several I didn't like and the ones I did like I found I had no desire to vape them much. I found my likes with menthol/peppermint/mint and coffee. Never been able to mix a good coffee so I have hopes for the new flavors.

 

[salemgold]

Have you tried PA Caramel Cappuccino? It is strong but I love that stuff at 1 drop per 10 ml of base.
TG uses it as a daily vape.

 

[FranC]

No I haven't. I tried caramel from several vendors and Pokey sent me a bunch too (vendor juice). The ones that didn't taste horrid I couldn't taste at all. I couldn't taste PA's caramel flavor either and coffee flavors were yuck. My tastebuds have improved some I think. I might give that a shot. I do love caramel.

I love the caramel capp. It is very addicting. I have found it so easy to mix with these ultra concentrated flavors Fran. You will be amazed at the simplicity of DIY. I am sure no one is going to like every flavor but I would suggest trying a few to see if you like. I have misjudged a few when I first tried thinking they should be good to go after mixing. Some of the flavors are...some need a few days...the black n mild needs at least a week. (I thinks).

This flavor is similar to PA caramel cappuccino http://www.ecigexpress.com/flavorsexpress-fruitexpress-c-16_96_97 has the similar notes/tastes and I find it great at 3%. However, YMMV and you might need to bump it up. I have not went higher than 4% on any of the concentrated flavors.

The havana by Hangsen flavor is good. I use it in rotation. I never had any diy I could rotate before. Now I do. The newport is nice as well. I do add a touch of regular tobacco to my mix. 1% TE tobacco to 2% new port flavor. It is nice. I don't vape allot of menthol anymore. I do enjoy this one.

 

[FranC]

Thanks Sdh. I've been DIY for quite awhile just my crappy tastebuds held me back. I'm hoping they've gotten better.
One of the flavors I have coming is Black Mile which I'm guessing is the Black & Mild??

 

[Jimi D.]

I would like to ask, you lovely ladies. How's the FA chocolate and peppermint flavors? My Dear Wife is in need of chocolate mint. The Lorann's just require too much flavoring, to make it taste good.
I made her some from the other Chinese company, and I was in trouble. She said it tasted like licking a stamp..LOL

 

[FranC]

I've used both in Pa's flavors and they're pretty good.

Has anyone tried this yet? I hope it really tastes like a smoke! The Tobacco Express Tobacco Additive.

I think Hairball tried it. I am still waiting on placing a order. Low on funding-need to work more.

 

[FranC]

I have it on order.
