Hey Jimi. Does something magical happen with the FA Cappuccino after steeping a while? Tried it at 2% after a day and it's super funky.
It was good at 2%. I added another 1% and it was much creamier. If you vape it right away it's going to be faint tasting. give it a hot bath for 10 minutes. That will melt the VG. I let mine steep for 24 hrs. Add 12 drops to a 10 ml bottle. That should taste good.

I made my mixes high VG 70/30 this time and I went 10% flavor so we will see how this one goes. I also made an apple bacco and had to make another batch of Monster.

I went 10 drops (from FA bottle) to 10 ml in 100% VG @ 12 mg and love it. The only time I go higher on the nic is with tobacco based recipes. Another one that works really good with the FA Cap is,

15 ml @ 12 mg
1 drop TPA Caramel cap
13 drops FA Cap
3 drops EM

My son vapes 36mg and usually adds some 50mg to that to bring it up a few mgs! He's a beast! He "power vapes" at work... he hits hard and fast on a quick break, so it works for him, but whenever he says "taste this ma", I have to remember to draw VERY lightly or my head is going to spin since I usually vape around 12mg. I started out at 24+mg but found out quite by accident that I don't miss the nicotine. In fact, I don't like the taste of nicotine at higher doses and just use a bit of koolada to add a touch of throat hit. In fact, I can fool myself into vaping 0 nic as long as I am vaping high menthol! For a while anyway!

I'm sure I would have to up my nic if I had to power vape during breaks, but since I work from home I pretty much chain vape. When I first started, I quickly discovered that 24mg was too much, cut down to 14 when I was still on vendor juice. When I started DIY about 6 months into my vaping journey, I started mixing at 12mg and have been there ever since. I still have a few cigs a day tho. It's weird because once I get settled in for the night I'm fine with just vaping...I think it has more to do with the fact that I'm "fine" in the evenings once my mother in law goes to bed LOL!

Ok. Back to ecx. You folks are da bomb! My wife likes the FA capp!! Weeeeee!! But she went back to her VB and said its smoother than the capp. I'm thinking the FA cream would do it... ??

I have about 7mls of fa capp that I made with 12drops capp in 10 ml. Should I try adding 2 or 3 drops of cream to it? Or what? Thanks!

(And I'm still lovin the grape! Banana is next :))

Jimi this apple is petty good. Mixed with desert ship is so good. Going to have to try some caramel, nut mix with the apple for taffy apple.

I'm glad you like it ToweKnee. I made a caramel apple. It's weird. I only tasted the apple yesterday. Now today I taste both. I've noticed caramel takes about a week to steep.

I'm steeping some FA Ry4 until the first week of December. I made a lot so it's worth the wait.

Adding the nut mix sounds really tasty.

Woohoo Pizza!! 2 years is awesome, congratz! I'm still a success, I went from 3 packs a day to less than half a pack.

I'd try a couple of drops of the cream in the cappu and see how that works for your wife. Who bought the FA Custard, was it you Jimi? I'm waiting not so patiently for a report! That may be just the ticket to add to the Cappu too :)

Your still smoking Bov? WTH? I went cold turkey from 2 1/2 packs a day ( Newport 100's) to this e-cig/vaping thing about 6 months ago and don't miss it a a bit. Wasn't by choice though, they wouldn't let me smoke in the burn center so had to try something. At that time I thought them lite disposables in the gas stations comprised the bulk of the e-cig market, duh... I had no idea there would be so many interesting ways to keep blowing my money.

What % did you mix yours at? Was thinking caramel and Apple at 5%. Then I just use small drop of the nut mix.

    I seem to be the only one who doesn't like the FA capp. I think I'll try some FA Fresh Cream in it.
