Help, I just want a cup of tea.

[juicejunky]

I bought some Flavor Apprentice Earl Grey hoping to try a DIY tea flavor. I am not all that picky, just want it to taste like tea.

This flavor tastes nothing at all like tea to me. It smells and tastes like Witch Hazel or some disinfectant bathroom cleaner. Is there something that will make it taste like tea? Is it my tastebuds that are the problem?

I have FA Earl Grey, English Toffee, Cotton Candy, Dulce De Leche, Coffee, and Menthol on hand. Will any of those help with making it taste like tea?

Anyone have any success with this flavor? Any suggestions on a better tea flavoring? Hopefully something not too complicated. My DIY has been one flavoring at a time so far. I'm a noob.

I just want a simple cup of tea flavor. Please help me.

I got a free sample of PHARMBOY’S Hibiscus green tea and honey ejuice 12 mg 70/30 pg/vg at vapestock. I like it with some extra honey ejuice mixed in. They have no website. Phone number is 817-507-2385.

Thank you but I was looking for a flavoring so I can make my own.

Yep, that's a tough one. I played with it for a couple of sessions and quickly learned that it would take much smaller percentages than I was willing to go at the time and have not gotten back to it. (I was doing 3ml experiments at the time and the flavoring was just too strong for such a small bottle.)

Did you let it settle? My alcohol DIYs have to sit for a day or two before they taste right?

I was doing samples that small too. I'll try to put less as a start. It's not very encouraging when you taste no tea whatsoever.

Thanks for the info.

Yes I left it weeks and no change. Have you tried FA Earl Grey?

I have not tried that one but it's surprising bc FA is usually a tried and true supplier?

The other 5 flavors I have from them are great.

There was some discussion here, last year about making your own tea and coffee extractions for flavorings. I am not a scientist, but I have later read that heating the PG (or VG) has bad things happen to it. It perhaps was in that discussion later.

I did a coffee extraction that did very well, by grinding up coffee beans into very fine dust. I soaked them for several days in PG, then poured it through a coffee filter several times. It was good, but should have let it steep longer. There was also a lot of discussion saying that coffee doesn't taste "right" until it has been brewed.

Earl grey tea is flavored with the rind of a very strong citrus called bergamont orange. I've tried TFA earl grey and that is all I can taste, no tea. If you want to taste plain tea you'd be better off getting a plain black tea e liquid...just google it.

I just smelled and tasted it again and I'm not getting any citrus or orange out of it either. It is a very familiar smell though that I just can't place.

I'll do as you suggest and start with plain black tea and see where that goes. Thanks.

I have a friend that extracted tea the same way that I do coffee extractions and they said it was excellent. You may already know how to do this.

I use a 30 ml glass bottle and fill with coffee grounds (tea in your case) fill other 1/2 with PG. Nike for 10 seconds. Let cool. Refill with PG ( Original PG would have absorbed during nuking process into tea) cap bottle. Set the bottle in a coffee cup filled with hot water. let sit for 30 minutes. Remove. Cool. Pour liquid mixture through paper coffee filters into glass bottle or coffee cup. There you have your flavoring The coffee extracted this way tastes exactly as it does to drink. My friend said that the tea is the same. He made a sweet tea flavor and added sweetener and koolada. Said it was good.

Good luck to you.

I have not tried DIY for tea, but the very best ejuice for tea I had is Constant Comment by High Desert Ecigs It tastes just like actual spiced tea, I love this stuff! bnrk

I don't want to gross you out, but my son said it smells like a "urinal mint" LOL!!!

Do you vape this as is or do you have to dilute with more PG or VG?? I am going to try it with my fav coffee bnrk

I use it just as it is. I use 3% and get great flavor. A friend that likes her coffee a little stronger uses 5%. I do hope that you like it. It is the most realistic coffee that I have tried to date.

ETA- I have also seen people that are PG sensitive use VG for this extraction. It is a little thicker and messier but, it works too.

Thanks I am going to try it! I love NM Pinon coffee so I think this will be the perfect way to get that flavor. I have not found a coffee flavor I like so far except for Tiramisu and that is not only coffee. I'll let you know how it turns out! bnrk

Please let me know how that turns out! TexasT is a dear friend of mine and loves that NM Pinon Coffee too. If it turns out well, I may have him send me some to make the extract into a flavored ejuice for him
