I have been playing with the TPA Earl Grey and Chai Teas. Haven't tried any green or black, but those are on the shopping list for some day.

Anyway, their Earl Grey is very accurate to me (the Chai is pretty good too - similar in strength/bitterness, but definitely Chai). I've been trying to find a good fruit combo for it, but it's a little tricky to mix. I haven't had what I hoped for yet with blueberry, maybe I'll try the ECX Blackberry next time instead.

Yes, Jimi, why haven't you???? I could swear you've tried almost everything else by now :)

LOL I know right?? Wolcen, My next ECX order I need to get some FA Black tea, and mix up a Chai. I have FA Black Pepper and FA Clove. That should do it, I think. Any other ideas?

The first time I mixed the Earl Grey I went WAY too strong, egads! I couldn't stand to smell it for a while. I mixed some TPA green tea with just a drop or 2 of Earl gray recently, and a couple drops of peppermint, cuz I'm a menthol kind of gal, and that was mucho better! Didn't care for the green tea on it's own either, but the mix is nice. I notice ECX has a jasmine flavor and I used to get jasmine tea from the oriental grocery where I used to live, I really enjoyed that and it would be great if I could concoct a vape of it. I just don't know if we are talking about the same beast here with the jasmine? I'm very tempted, but every time I go there I'm tempted too much to buy too much when I don't have too much to spend! LOL. I'm such a brat too, I go there and TRY to just pick a few items but there is so much more I want and can't have, so I go away sulking and not get any of it! How dumb is that! To buy it in dibs and dabs means all those repeated shipping charges, so I'll save up until I can just get what I want. And if I am still coherent by then, I'll be happy!

TPA Chai Tea with a little EM is something wonderful. I don't know whats in there but on and off its been my husband's favorite adv for awhile. I have some of the TPA earl grey but I haven't mixed it yet. I just bought some FlavorArt Black tea for a mixer but I have no clue what % to try it at

Ha, Charlie...that sounds like me! I usually end up just restocking the flavors I use in my every day vape mix.

Baku, I think I would try the Black Tea starting at about 3 to 5%, get an idea from there to work on. The teas, coffees and tobaccos seem to be far more concentrated than some of the other FA flavors.

Thankx Wolcen! Moo..err, Boo!

Fran, believe it or not Black 'n Milk actually replaced my Caramel Cream as my secondary everyday vape! I'm sure I'll still vape the CC once in a while, but that has been my go to for almost 2 years!! Nothing has taken the place of my Caramel Coconut Cookie as number 1 tho ;)

    I just did an extraction earlier today with Vanilla Chai Tea, but havent tried it yet. Ive never tried a tea flavored e-liquid before so this will be my first. I tried this with coffee a little while back and it turned out pretty good so hoping for the same with this one. I'll still be buying the flavors that get good reviewes though. Even though I like my extracted coffee blend I just ordered the FA capuciano to try it out. I got a free sample of TPA Irish cream that I was thinking about trying with the coffee, anybody have any experience with that one? I also ordered some Tob Express Benson, Captain, Chery Cigar and some Fruit Express Oats. I have no idea what there going to be like but I liked the Blk and Milk so much that I wanted to try some of their other stuff too.

    I think I must be some kind of mutant, I can't decide on anything to like consistently, besides variety, LOL! Since I'm home almost always, I have this nutty thing I do. I have my flavors mixed separately, nic and all. I have a slew of cartos on hand, and a bunch of tall condoms (who coined that?) saved. I take the flavors I want to mix and add some of this and that to the condom, stick the carto in, screw side down (screw, condoms, porno thread?) soak up my concoction and vape. Most of the time it's so so and I just keep working on trying to improve it. As the carto gets low, I'll repeat the procedure somewhat different until I get something I really like, at which point I'll make a bottle at the same ratio. (Or close to) If I feel I'm at a dead end, sometimes I will just blow out the carto into a paper towel and start over. It helps not to stray too far flavor-wise, or else save separate cartos for stronger flavors...depends on my mood that day. But it's fun! I do also have tanks and T2s and bigger clearos for real vaping, but I'd say half the time I spend just flavor futzing. Geez, even that sounds kinda obscene! I'm gonna go wash my hands out with soap. ha ha
