Levitas, I finally got most of my stuff in...with two (maybe serious) setbacks... I forgot to order nic, so I had to use a 70/30, 18 nic base, and coconut extra (TPA) (Cut in half). So I ended up with a 55/45 7.5ml bottle of 12mg nic after mixing. After a shake and vape, it's very smooth. I have a feeling this may be better in a couple days. I will let you know then. I will also try it again when I have the exact ingredients.

As I type this I keep chain vaping it, and something is definitely shining through...Will report back in a couple days.

Other than that I am getting a chocolate-bready taste. I think that this needs more time as my experience with chocolate has taught me to give it awhile to come to the fore in recipes. I think Capella's CFB is the best chocolate taste out there and I'm going to come back to this mix in a few days. I also expect the bready taste to be gone and I'll get the full benefit of all the flavors melded into one another.

I'm glad to hear the coconut calmed in your blend. Perhaps it's the bready taste that I am enjoying? I know that TFA Cinnamon Danish has a bready taste to it. To me, it tastes like Cinnamon Toast :) That would explain its presence, especially since it's the dominant flavoring used in the blend.

At first, I didn't know what to think about it, thus why I made the thread. I first though, well, this isn't too bad, but is there maybe something I could do, or change to make it really shine? Then I found myself in the same boat that you're in, I keep chain vaping it. There just seems to be something about it that's really appealing to me.

This current bottle is on its last drops, and I'll be making another batch. Usually at this point, I'd make a 30ml bottle (2 test runs), but I'm holding off to makes sure, for sure. That, and, I'm waiting to see if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks again for trying it out, guys. Keep me posted.

Okay, three days later... Remember, I'm just a rookie coming off the bench after watching the pro's "play" for a few months, but this vape is unique in a sense that I can't quite grasp. Part of me says "More CHOCOLATE", part of me says "add vanilla", part of me says "leave it alone"... then there's the "it needs sweet cream" voice....lol sorry man I think I'm of no use to you on this one. I think you should name it "Something" :) If I play with it further I'll let you know if anything 'pops'.

Dave, I appreciate the input. There is no need for experience in order to share your results, and what you taste :)

This blend was created in an effort to make a good, more chocolate tasting vape. Even though Cinnamon Danish is the leading flavoring used. I fear that adding more brownie will offset all other flavorings, as it is pretty potent alone at 1 drop. I'm also finding it difficult to find viable chocolate flavorings.

When I get the time, probably after this Summer semester is finished, I am going to procure a few extra flavorings I've had my eye one, and create a multiple mix study on this blend. I'll mix an array of different %'s, and additional flavorings in each bottle, and see what I come up with.

As is, thank you again for your input. :)

Cool, sounds like we are in the same boat with summer semesters. I am also diving right in the chocolate field. I got two amazing flavors from HHV; "Oompa" and "Tuscan Cocoa"...both of these have made me begin the search for something close to what they have found...I look forward to seeing what you come you with. I will let you know if I find a more viable chocolate...so far the two in this recipe are my favorites.

So I came back to this recipe today and I'm vaping what is left right now. I want to add a tobacco to this mix, my being a NEThead and all, but in fairness, it's Levitas' mix and he deserves an honest opinion of his original.

I now find it has just the right amount of chocolate goodness. Not overwhelming and it leaves enough room for the other flavors to come through. The breadiness is gone and now I'm getting a mounds bar flavor. It's a good sweet treat for the palette.

Now I'm gonna add some RY to it and hope I don't ruin it.

Boomer - if you plan on adding a NET, or any other ingredient to the blend, please, do let me know the results of your mixing :)

If the NET works out, and you're finding it to be excellent, I ask that you might share with me what you used?

See, I am truly enjoying this blend, and NET seems to be the next step in my DIY adventure, but, I really don't know where to begin with such an endeavor.

I will do that. Steeping 3 10 ml bottles one RY4, one Dk Tb and one Hangsen BD. Plan on trying in a couple of weeks.

Here's my problem, I don't recognize the names of the flavors or have anything in my mind to associate them with. And most sites don't have reviews listed or even a general description of the flavor. So the only tobacco flavors I own are 2 I just bought yesterday, one Hangsen RY4 and one Island Tobacco from VZ. I need a good tasting tobacco that would be good to meld other flavors with (such as peach, apple, blueberry, etc.) You think BD is the one?

Yeah, I know where your coming from. It's difficult to figure out flavors what with several different names for the same flavor. About all you can do is research. Start with the different types of tobacco and processes. There are not that many. Virginia, Burley, Latakia, Perique, Turkish/Oriental and Broadleaf are the main tobaccos. The cigar tobaccos are mainly Cohiba and Cojito. Then there are the processes like fire, flue or air cured. Match up the tobacco blends to the concentrates and you'll have a good idea what's - what. BD is Bull Durham a Carolina-Virginia mix. As to fruit mixes, I find 7 Leaves and Oba-Oba to be good all around mixing tobacco concentrates for fruits and sweet mixtures.
