Any ideas on how much FA Oba Oba flavoring should be used with 50/50 PG/VG? I have been mixing at 20% flavoring and it seems to have a muted taste after a couple days. Could I be over flavoring?
Yes, I believe so. I use plenty of FA flavors, and I never exceed 5% on any of them. The best way to to find your sweet spot and start at 1%, and add one drop at a time. A drip atty is the best way to test your mixes.

Oba Oba is my all time FA favorite. I mix at 10% and for oba I mix at 50/50. All other mixes are 80/20 but Oba shines with this mix. However, it is what I use.

I will definately have to try lower % of flavoring. Thanks Jimi D and Sdh
Sdh, What kind of steep times do you usually give it? I have a 30ml @ 20% flavoring is it wasted or can I add more PG/VG to dilute flavoring and keep same nic level. My PG/VG is already mixed at 24mg.

I believe if you make another 30ml bottle of unflavored 50/50 @24mg you can mix it together and that would bring your flavor % down to 10%

I finally got around to mixing up a small batch of the FE blackberry. Added 1 drop per ml, and thew in some FA fresh cream. I didn't have an empty tank to put it in so I refilled a half tank that had the failed Cinnamon Sugar Cookie in it and I am surprised to say that it's pretty darn good lol.


well whatever you do don't add lorann cherry

Oba oba has that fruity vanilla taste. It is the only fruit type flavor I can really say I love. I like some other FE fruit flavors as add ins. However, oba oba is just a clean refreshing vape. I do get hints of a tobacco flavor but it could be my mix at 24mg.

I forgot to say how long I let my mix steep. I do a power steep with this one. I use glass so I submerge the container in some very warm water and let it sit for 1/2 hour. I vape it the same day. However, give it two weeks and it is great!

    I gave hubby his first tankful of Essence USA a couple weeks ago (On a BP). His response was "What is this? I don't like it. Well he didn't say anything further so I just kept refilling with the USA. Last night he picks up his BP and tells me he really likes the USA. Go figure.

    Ok I picked up both DKTab and FA Desert Ship. Am I missing something because they taste very similar to each other. Both mixed at 2% and steeped for a month and I think they a very close in flavor.
    They are very close indeed. I like the FA Desert Ship at 1% because the tobacco compounds mask the sweeter notes.

    Jimi I thought this as well too. 2% just seemed a little too much for me. When I thinned it down just a bit I was a lot more happier with it. Also i think the DS had a little sweeter note to it.
