Introducing German Flavours from Vapers Tek

[passerbyeus]

odd I just put your numbers in the ejuice me up calculator and its still shows what I said. Wonder if its not taking it as the flavor as PG on yours may be the difference. Oh well test test test lol its all going to come down to what you like anyways..

I guess it depends on how many drops/ml you go by, and it seems like there's a difference of drops/ml depending on whether the flavor is PG based or VG based. Apparently, PG has around 35 drops/ml and VG has 25 drops/ml, and this is a PG based flavor. I put it in my calculator at 30 drops/ml and 9 drops comes out right at 3% which is less than I mixed mine at. I'm mixing my juice by weight because it seems to be much more accurate and 4% just seemed really week.

Hell, even with VG vs. PG, it's still going to come down to droppers being different, angle of the bottle while dropping and so on. In general, drops are convenient as all get out but not exactly accurate, at least not very accurate to convey into universal recipes unless everyone is dropping the same way with the same droppers with the same viscosity of liquids -- and even then, it's still not accurate unless using high-tech, high-priced labware. But, if someone says nine drops and it's too weak, it's kinda easy to add in a few more. Like passer said, it's going to come down to taste/likes.

I agree. That's why I decided to mix and all my juice by weight. That way I have a much more accurate reference for myself when I want to make the same recipe or make adjustments.

I agree 100%
I started DIYjng by measuring everything as accurately as possible, within a couple of months, after tipping over countless vials of flavor, and taking forever to make a juice, specially the small 5ml bottles I realized that I spent more time cleaning up after myself than I did enjoying my new hobby. That seems like a long time ago.
I slowly switched to dropper bottles, and using drops instead of %s.
This is of course not the proper way but it works for me.
It is true that different juices, chemicals etc...have different densities and weights, but any one particular liquid will ALWAYS have its own composition, hence it will always have the same density so the same drop size provided one uses the same dropper. That factor by itself increases the chances for a more uniform albeit not ideal way of mixing.
I would definitely NOT be using the drop system if I were in the business, but as a hobbyist it seems OK, and I've enjoyed DIYing immensely so far.

On another subject, my vapers tongue seems to have dissipated so I'm going to review my last 4 juices from GF

HALFZWARESHAG: tobacco for sure, cigarette-like but more like a perfumed cigarette. I didn't like the perfuminess. I won't be making anymore of this one. I would compare it to a Kent cigarette, TH is decent and Vapor is Decent.
WHITE LION: Very Good, RY4ish but with something else. Tobacco takes a back seat although it is certainly there. I would say pastry with tobacco notes. I recommend this one. TH ok, vapor good
CARIBBEAN BLEND: Earthy, Robust, tasty. Very good. Excellent TH, good Vapor. If I were to compare it to a Commercial juice I'd have to say "English Bulldog" by Good Life Vapors. I highly recommend this one.
CHERIMOYA: OK, not bad, tastes like a Cherimoya I just wanted to try it, but this one although not disappointing is not going to make my rotation. TH good, Vapor good.

One day soon I will too. As of now, I act like I am being precise by using syringes -- I mean they look like tools of precision. LOL

GF Black Mamba
Wow!!! This flavor has done one hell of a flip on me!
I first tasted strong Banana...let's see, that was 11/28/2014 I used the recommended amount with was 5% In my world that's 7.5 drops, rounded out to 8 drops.
Sorry folks but I do drops
Anyway, after 11 days Mamba has lost most of the banananess, and become more like the flavor I know and love form the Pink Spot folks here in Vegas. What a shift!!
There are still banana undertones but that's all they are.
That's strange because I usually get where I want stepwise with my heater and shakes. This one just did its own thing, and now I have a new ADV
Black Mamba from PSV was the only non-tobacco juice I kept going back to....and now I have GF's version...Wow.

Has anyone found any Wow Flavors?

I saw the raves for White Lion and RY4.

Nope, ... but I'm just getting started.
I mixed up some test sizes of 9 different flavors, and have only tried 3 so far.

I used the suggested % on the bottles.
Vanilla Cream..no Vanilla taste
Nougat/Hazelnut/Praline ...No taste of Hazelnut or Praline
After Eight ... very weak chocolate, stronger "mint" .. soso flavor

After the original test using their suggested %, I start "tweaking".
I'm leaning towards thinking these are a lot like FW and Cap, requiring a large % to obtain a descent flavor.
I've got my fingers crossed for the Arabian Nights, Brazilian, White Lion, and RY4, but they were just mixed two days ago.
I'll finish trying the rest of the flavors I mixed a couple of weeks ago first.
I know solo flavorings don't require steeping, but that just comes natural for me as I stay well ahead of myself when it comes to mixing.
Everything is usually about 4 weeks old before I get to it

Summary, ... disappointed. which means I have to start playing with them to get something I like.
Next round, I will start with upping the %, hoping I don't have to use too high a % to get the flavor, since that makes it hard to use in a recipe when I want to add other flavors.
I'll post as I go through them.

PS, my taste buds suck, so these may taste great to someone else at the suggested %
These results are just how I judged them, sucky taste buds and all.
Also, I mix at 70 or 80PG, so the VG is not muting the flavors.

I'm still loving the strawberry cheesecake and vanilla pudding. Both are spot on for flavor. Speculoos and Toffee are nice but probably just flavors I don't care much for. I have vaniila cream, white lion and apple pie aging from yesterday. Will test them in another day or 2.

 

[GaryInTexas]

I went ahead and dripped a little of the vanilla cream after 1 day steeping. It is a very ice cream type flavor to me. The vanilla is light like Slots said but it is there, just very creamy. The vanilla pudding has a more pronounced vanilla to it.
I tried a couple of drops of the White Lion and I'm not sure what it's suppose to taste like but 1 day steep is not enough for it. Taste pruny to me at this point. I'm sticking it aside for a week or so and see what develops from it.

I really like the Fig. Not really as a standalone but to make a honey fig tobacco it's really good. I could actually vape the strawberry. It's changed after 3 or 4 weeks and not as good and harsh/dry, but fresh it's very nice. White Lion is good too. No time to get to the others yet. As a fellow VZ Blackberry fan, Michael, I can tell you not to bother with the German Blackberry. So not good.

 

[AmandaD]

The rhubarb is spot on rhubarb at the recommended percentage - it's excellent, and this is a flavor I've been searching for for the past year!

 

[1vapeatatime]

I really like the flavors I've ordered so far, except for 1 or 2. So today I put in an order for:
Best Western Tobacco
Brazilian Tobacco
Cocoa
F--K(just for kicks)
Marzipan
Maximum Tobacco
Prince Tobacco
Rhubarb
Sea Buckthorn
Salmiakpastillen(salted licorice)

Can't wait!!!!!

I'm vaping the Fig right now too.
The sweet is good enough, and I'm enjoying it as a very bland vape, but ... I don't taste any fig at their suggested %
I was hoping to add something like INW Biscuit to it and get a fig newton
But I'm going to have to find the % that brings out the fig flavor, or that not going to happen.
With my taste buds, and the way it's going (at their %), it looks you guys are going to have to put up with my no..no..no's I guess, until I get to the second round and up the %.
But in all fairness to GM, for my first tries, I will stay at their suggestions.

Ohh man, now I have to go back and get the Rhubarb
I was eenie meenie minee mo and took it out of the cart the last time.
Also, please let me know how the Marzipan is ... that was another one I bypassed at the last minute.

 

[AmandaD]

The marzipan is extremely good, and to my taste it only needs to be used at about 25% of the recommended percentage!

 

[hectomaner]

Anyone else get lemonade? Mine is really dark brown, almost black. Seems weird.

 

[Rossum]

The Marzipan IS good, but I'm not sure I agree with the "25% of recommended percentage"

OK, I'm not being scientific about it. I started with 4 drops to a 6 ml BF bottle of unflavored base and it seemed pretty light so I ended up doubling that to 8 drops.

I'm also thinking I want add something else to it. Almost certainly a fruit. The question is which one? I'm thinking pear, or maybe black currant? Here's my choices:

Yes, I'm a DIY n00b.

 

[AmandaD]

I mixed marzipan with fig and both the vanilla creams (the custard and the other one). Nice vape!
