Hopscotch help needed, plz

[sophie_lapin]

I received the infamous Hopscotch last week at 18mgs (along with 9 other great juices). Sad thing is that I can't taste the Hopscotch one .
I emailed FSUSA to see what I could do to remedy this and they responded right away- unfortunately the bottom line was too bad- so sad, in the nicest way possible though.

I was looking over the site to plan my next order and I saw that I could order the Hopscotch in 0 nic. I don't mind losing some nic strength. I really would rather just taste it! My next order would be done with 2x flavor at my preferred nic strength.

To get the Hopscotch at 2x flavor, how much no nic Hopscotch should I add? I don't know what it is supposed to taste like so I don't think I can exactly wing it- I might over-do it and ruin it.

Thanks for any help.

The reason the person at FSUSA told you that is because it's one of their specialty liquids. If they told you what to add, then you'd know the secret ingredients.

Good idea about adding no nic hopscotch, but I'm clueless about mixing liquids. Hopefully, someone that does DIY will chime in. When you order the no nic hopscotch, are you going to order 2x flavor?

I mix it half and half. Hopscotch is a flavor that blossoms with age. Make a 5ml bottle of it at 2.5/2.5 then leave the top and dripper off overnight. Replace the next day, shake, and then try it.

I'm thinking if you are getting a 10ml bottle it would be hard to get 2x flavor in there, but doable. If it's too strong and no nic, like hairball said, cut it in half. Same for 30ml bottle and go from there. Sorry probably not helping since I like the stronger flavors to begin with.

might just be one of those flavors that your buds just don't fully taste. 2x is pretty heady stuff but yeah it is tough to stuff in a 10ml bottle even with no nic. I love hopscotch too trust me but I never was one of the folks that found it very strong to taste either....

You could look for some LorAnn flavors and add that.

Sorry if I'm not understanding. But what would be the point of ordering 0 mg? Why not just order 2x flavor in your mg strength? Then however much you add.. You'll still have the correct amount of nic.

Unless it's cheaper..? That's the only reason I can see it would make sense.

Hmmm... do you typically like stronger flavors? I have learned that I order all mine double flavor (regardless the vendor) and I'm happy. W/o the xtra flavor, it always seems to weak to me. I have their butterscotch, butterscotch almond and hopscotch - all my faves. I love them the day they arrive, but they get even better with age. I just finished off my original bottle of butterscotch (and still trying to figure out how I can get those last few drops out of the 5ml hard plastic bottle that won't trickle down into the tip). But, the juice in that bottle is darker and slightly thicker than the new bottle I just ordered.

When I first started ordering juices, I didn't know about 2x flavor. So, the flavors I liked, I ordered again in 2x. Since the regular strength is too weak and I'm too thrifty to waste 10ml of juice, I add 50/50 of the regular and 2x juices when (re)filling, and it seems to do well. But I order the 2x with the same nic level (otherwise mixing them 50/50 would dilute the nic level). I find that this generally provides enough flavor. Not as great as 100% of the 2x flavor, but good enough (and then I don't feel like I'm wasting.

Thanks everybody- Ive got the gameplan now!

I do normally like stronger and sweeter flavors... I read lots of reviewers saying that they ordered it as-is, without the extra flavor, so I went with that. Actually, the other 9 bottles of juice I received were great at the regular strength.
Oh well, I know for next time.

I'll admit that I am a Hopscotch fanatic. I have it in 3 different nic strengths and mix them to different levels all the time. For days I know I'll be chain vaping I usually go with 18mg. I keep a stash of 30mg at work in case things get stressful and I feel I need a bit more to stay away from analogs. I've been thinking of ordering either 0 or 6 mg also to start diluting down further now also. I will admit that with 2.8Ω atty on a 3.7V device that hopscotch with no extra flavoring will start off tasting a little weak, but will increase with age. With a 2Ω or lower atty the flavor comes through fine from the start.

Another great thing about hopscotch is that all my employees love the smell. They say they can tell when I'm vaping it because it smells like cotton candy.

Just get in double flavor. If its too strong, add a few drops of vg

I love hopscotch too, try ordering an extra bottle and let it sit for a month or two and you will like it better, the flavor will much richer. It has a faint taste when you try it right out of the mail box!

It's funny that you mention that it smells like cotton candy because a few days ago my hubby and I were driving and I was vaping hopscotch and he said "why does it smell like cotton candy in here?". He doesn't smoke or vape but said he really liked the smell!

Take off the dripper tip and use a 1 ml pipette and jou can get every last drop, works for me, I'm a tightwad and don't waste anything.
