Thanks, I'm not looking for eucalyptus, lol. I think I need to go mix up some Cardamom just to check it out.

ya, eucalyptus is not a flavor that would appeal to many, I'm trying to make 'local flavors'. Cardamom goes well with green or black tea, coffee, and is used sparingly in Scandinavian baked treats (think gingerbread).

Sorry to hear about your buddies ToweKnee!

I need some 28g too, and 32-34, have plenty of 30 as well... wonder how that happens

What's eucalyptus taste like anyway? I've heard menthol, but is that all? I think Horehound tastes like menthol too, actually much more like menthol to me than regular menthol crystals (Vicks-juice is what that reminds me of, even in small amounts )

 

[ToweKnee]

Jimi is the Hangsens T5 the same T5 you guys were saying is very good?

I always get fennel seeds (anise) cardomon is waaaay stronger. A little seed crushed flavors an espresso to taste like a whole new drink. It smooths it out too but strong.

You make me glad that I skipped the Thyme and purchased Cardamom. I haven't tried mixing it at all yet. What percentage did you use for the Cardamom? Adding menthol and sweetener might give you something similar to the sugar-coated cardamom seeds that some Indian restaurants give you at the end of a meal.

it's a very complex, floral menthol. Vicks, Halls Cough drops are called 'Mentho-lyptus'. Imagine a mild/less spicy Cardamom with menthol. Eucalyptus leaves are sometimes sold in grocery stores as "California Bay Leaves"

I've had both at restaurants. I really like the Indian rice with the cardamom pods in it. I've never heard of cardamom in coffee...have you tried to DIY a cardamom coffee vape?

I had no idea that eucalyptus made it into cooking. It seems like "medicine" flavored cuisine is something to avoid, so I'll be sure to steer clear of it.

Dohhh!! I looked it up CA bay is actually something different (Umbellularia californica, Lauraceae), I had always been told it was Euc. sorry!!

Haven't mixed any coffee juice yet, had too many bad coffee vapes in the early days, kinda turned me off on the idea. One was so bad I didn't drink coffee for weeks after.

for a 12oz cup, 3-4tbsp coffee grounds, 3 cardamom seeds (not pods) crushed. Perfection

Anyone have a good cola recipe? I have some TFA Cola, but, I'm scared to mix it. Again too many bad juices from the past.

Good to know, thanks. I don't have a cola recipe, but I think JimiD recommended Hangsen Red Cola in another thread.

I need some advice too. Is there a good way to make a juice just a little less sweet without altering the rest of the flavor profile? Maybe add some MTS Vape Wizard or Bitter Wizard? I also have distilled vinegar, but thought that might change the flavor too much. TIA.

I'd try the vinegar, that's how you do it in cooking, so... I have no experience with any of the MTS additives.

any thoughts?

I'll give it a try, thanks. I can't wait to hear how your cola experiments turn out. I bought black pepper thinking it would be good for a cola vape, I hope it works well.

Bitter Wizard will knock out some sweetness.

 

[Shilo]

Lorann's Tart N Sour would work too---available at Hobby Lobby.

Thanks, I have both of these. I added some vinegar to a tank. If that doesn't do the trick, then I'll try these.

Do it one drop at a time that stuff goes a long way.

I did, well 2 drops to 5ml. So far, the distilled vinegar has done the trick. I will try the others next in the spirit experimentation. I also have some AAA Mask. I don't really know what it is for, but it sounded handy so I bought some

I make a nice vanilla cola and cherry cola. I use TPA cola and SC Vanilla or cherry, mixed 50/50 of each flavor. I also add a little EM.

So ok really want to get the Hangsens T5 but its out. Jimi you need to put together you top Hangsens flavor list together lol.
