How is everyone doing with the New Flavors..
I have been busy mixing.. Made 6 today and I'm on the fence about them..
Been Sticking at 3% or 5 Drops per 5ml..
One thing I noticed is that a few of the Flavors have a weird smell to them...
At first this was my problem with them. However, you might want to steep them or leave the cap off (if it is safe) to let the alcohol evaporate some. I find my mixes get better in time. They taste better if I mix in glass. Lastly, they do need a few days or a week to steep. My thoughts.

Ok folks. Please point me to the concentrated flavors. Don't have time to catch up or find it. Is it the tobaccoexpress and fruitexpress sections? Thanks! I'll check back in a bit. I'm trying the FA coffee(or expresso/cappicinio... whatever it is) for my wife and while I'm there, I'll grab a couple of baccos. I've heard some are real similar to VZ Real Cig. Can somebody give me a few ideas on those too please?

Oh yeah! And, is there a super concentrated coffee? VZ coffee didn't quite cut it for her. (although I'm trying it again at a higher percentage)


Thanks!! I'll check back in a bit.

Well, I read that the tobacco Additive is just like the RealCig and no it's not. The plain tobacco is closer. MLB is another good one that I like.

Yeah, some of these do have an undertaste/smell to them. I have noticed that from the start. Pretty sure that Sd mentioned noticing it too.

Um-mm makes me wonder if I should try the tobacco additive? Now, I am scared to add to cart! I thought more flavors would be up by now. Oh well I am forcing myself to wait. I know I tried the VZ version....

Sdh...the tobacco additive isn't bad but it has floral notes. If you decide to buy, start at 1.5% and work up. I'm hoping a little vanilla will tone it down. I have it steeping right now and will know in a couple of days. It doesn't taste anything like the RealCig. The plain tobacco is closer.

I got a bunch of flavorings in today from ECX. I can mix a few but I ran out of pg...so I had to place an order for that...drats I hate when that happens. Was soooo looking forward to mixing while on vacation but I don't think I will be this week unless our feed store carries it.

Good to know about the tobacco additive. That sucks about the PG. I did the same thing and did run out of pg.

What makes it worse...I got 22 flavors today and can only mix about 4 of them. Hopefully my pg will get shipped tomorrow but still going to see if the feed store has some..they carry all sorts of stuff like that. If not, I'll have to wait. It should show up about the time the rest of my flavors get here.

After 4 days of steeping, apple doesn't taste like apple. I still get juicy fruit bubble gum. I could have sent it back but decided it's not a bad vape but wasn't what I was hoping for. I made 4 bottles...1.5%, 2%, 3%, 4% roughly..nope, all taste the same. So, that one was a flop...kinda sorta.

I just add the apple to tobacco. I could never vape a straight fruit flavor. If all else fails for you...try some regular tobacco in the mix or cigar.

I had my daughter try the apple. Here's her description...tastes more like a watermelon/apple mix but smells like circus peanuts (you know those orange spongy peanuts...gross), with juicy fruit gum on the lighter side (so I'm not completely crazy after all). I didn't tell her what was in the PV but that's what she said.

When you mix a fruit in with a tobacco, how much fruit would you add? Let's say you had the perfect tobacco, would you add a bit of fruit flavoring, or would you make some fruit flavored juice and mix of that in a little in at a time?
