FlavourArt %

Cowboy reminds me of sweet hay. That's about all I can taste in it.

At first, Virginia was bland and not tobacco-ey to me. I tried bumping from 3 drops/15 ml to 7 drops/15 ml and it tastes like fresh pipe tobacco smells. Not like a cigarette, but like tobacco nonetheless. It's now one of my favorites.

Maybe you need to bump the flavor a bit? Or, maybe not!

I used 1 drop per ml, then 2 drops, then 3 drops before I could get much taste.

Just received Cuban Supreme and Desert Ship and will try them this weekend. I plan to make up 4ml samples of all the FA tobaccos using a 80/20 PG/VG base and compare them with each other over time.

I am very new to DIY too, but I have read that the standard is ~20% flavoring?? Now I see its less the 5% most of the time.

Does the percentage of flavoring depend on what flavor company your using?

Better late than never - yes, it depends entirely on the flavours, and on the companies making them. LorAnns seem to be needed in the 20% range, Flavourart in the 1-5% range, and I found professional food flavours where the recommendations given are in the permill range (1-5 gramms per kilogram of food). That's going to need pre-mixes before you can mix it into liquids. Unless of course your test batches are round 100ml.

So you always have to pay attention to the recommendations of the seller, those at least should give you an idea of the amounts you need to work with.


Not sure somebody mentioned that: People said they have a problem with "FA spicy cinnamon candy". I've never seen a "spicy cinnamon candy" on the FA website. I happily vape their cinnamon at 4-5% (which is not very spicy, but tasty), but "spicy c. candy" sounds like a differnt flavour from a different company to me.

See FlavourArt - Spicy Cinnamon Candy 3ml Sampler for a listed flavourart spicy cinnamon candy. I have a feeling it's one of those that's great in cooking but loses in vapor.

Sounds like you have the straight cinnamon.

This is very odd, since I cannot find that flavour on the flavourart.it page, where I order. Maybe it's just a renamed Cinnamon, but as I said - that's perfectly tasty to me.

 

[sjohnson]

It's distinct from cinnamon, also sold on the happy vaper website. Yes, it is odd that the spicy version is sold as a flavourart flavoring at happy vaper but not at flavourart.

The spicy cinnamon is exclusive to Happy Vapor, I wish it were not the case though, all flavors should be available at Flavourart.

The difference between cinnamon oil and cinnamon flavoring is distinct. Some people don't like using oils, so for them the cinnamon flavorings will have to do. When I want a strong cinnamon flavor I use a tiny bit of the oil... when I want cinnamon without the bite I use the flavoring.

With all of the FlavourArt flavors I start with 1% and work my way up. I don't think I have ever gotten to 10%.

Spicy Cinnamon Candy is a FlavourArt flavor made exclusively for Happy Vaper.

And Happy Vapour does not even ship to Germany (although they ship to the UK, so that does not even make sense). Drats, drats, and double drats!

 

[sjohnson]

The Canadian Postal service may be why Jack (Happy Vaper) doesn't ship to Germany. His shipping to the U.S. used to be outrageous, but he worked something out with the postal service and it's now reasonable. Perhaps the same applies to the UK, but it's the high postal cost to der Bundesrepublik Deutschland that keeps him from shipping?

Don't drat too much, from forum reports on the spicy cinnamon, it may not be a good vape.

 

[AlexTM]

I seriously doubt that shipping to the UK would be less expensive than shipping to Germany. According to canadapost.ca they happen to be in exactly the same "rate zone". (And it would have been rather surprising if things had been otherwise.)

And it's not so much the spicy cinnamon alone, although I would try it. It has more to do with the possibility of more flavours which might not be available to the rest of the world.

Call Jack at HV, don't ask him why, ask why not! 888-696-3697 from his website.

 

[Guineahill]

Oh darn! Take solace in hearing that FlavourArt Spicy Cinnamon isn't their best flavor.

And do contact Jack. He can be very accomodating!
