Learn from my Mistakes

[Wishdog]

1. Just got my CE3 XL pack in and promptly burnt the crap out of two of them. Why? How? VG is how. Too thick, so I'm just burnin' em up. Dammit.

2. My custom blend of 40% Cuban Gold, 30% Virginia, 20% Tomato, and 10% Malted Milk was the most horrible thing. Really, if I was trying to make something that tasted like vomit, tomato vomit, then I am a genius. But too bad, I'm not, and another of the CE3's was lost to the Tomato Funk. I would try to get it all out, and I did try, but I can't inhale that stuff to get it through and I don't own an inhale-for-me machine. Oh, and I have 5 ml of this if anyone wants it. It's epic.

An aside, ECBlends sure has a perfumey base. All 9 bottles are open, airing out, then they get a good steep, until I run out of my remaining flavors. If they don't shape up, I'll be vaping 24mg unflavored PG by Thursday.

1. Did you try adding some PGA or di water to thin it?

2. OMG! What on earth possed you to try that combination? Just the idea of vaping tomato juice at all makes me feel a bit ill.

I'm absolutely busting a gut right now! Too funny!

I think maybe you are a genius- an evil genius. You have created something that even I wouldn't vape. I don't think even Chuck Norris could vape that.

Well played, sir. Well played.

I only laugh because I have been there before...my friend at work who makes some pretty decent DIY juices has definitely mixed up some "death juices" for me before but doesn't tell me what they are first...painful painful experience.

Dam and I thought my juice yesterday was bad, I wasn't paying attention when I was adding cinnamon concentrate added quadruple the amount needed in a 3ml sample, went to test it and thought I was gonna cry it hurt to breath for a few secs lol. But your recipe? Really?

Triple dog dare you to vape it and blow the vapor out your nose...

Or French inhale it.

I have cut down the pure VG I have in one of them with some unflavored PG I have. The flavor is really weak.

The worst thing is this last order is all "reduced PG" which has to be at least 80% VG. Though some seems much thinner than the stuff I put in to burn the cartos up. The problem is that all the flavors need to steep. ECBlend has a faint but thick smelling perfumey base to it. So, all 8 bottles caps off. Well, 8 out of 9.

I've thrown away everything that touched the tomato evil, but I still smell it. Then again, the taste is still in my mouth even after I brushed my teeth, and tongue (top and bottom (which is difficult)), and upper esophagus.

 

[klynnn]

Even if tomato is a fruit I don't think its right for your mix.

 

[wokkerk]

yeah I have gotten perfumey juices from a couple of vendors and I just keep telling myself it will steep out because I cant imagine anyone enjoying those perfumey flavors to it....and these are from highly rated vendors too...

First, #2 made me laugh. Thank you.

To #1, did you not let is soak in? I would think even thick VG should wick given the time.

Soaked, yes. The first few vapes were good, but the VG wasn't sneaking through the holes fast enough to satisfy my "ooh, new juice" chainvaping.

Now, if these CE3's tasted the same way as when I burn out a boge carto, well, then I wouldn't have kept puffing away thinking "This tastes horrible."

Edited to add a blurry picture I posted in another thread concerning my concoction:

I named it Jurassic Gold.

Yeah, I agree with klynn- tomato was just not right with your other ingredients. Your tobacco/malted milk mix might be just fine with some other fruit, or the tomato might taste better without the malted milk and tobacco to contend with.

I've found that ECBlends stuff does lose that perfumey taste after steeping, and while I haven't tried their tomato on its own, I do like it added to cucumber, and their tomato soup is nice, too, but very subtle.

Ms. T has a good tomato juice flavor that I like- it's very clean tasting and if you add a drop or two of pepper to it, it tastes a lot like a bloody mary.

And on the other end of the spectrum, FreedomSmokeUSA has a ripe tomato flavor that tastes like a thick and gummy tomato paste and cheap vodka mixed together- it kinda makes my lip curl, not a good tomato, imo.

You are insane. Tomato vape is bad bad bad.

 

[thinkingaboutit]

Maybe I am, but a good bloody Mary, yum.

 

[wokkerk]

You are insane. Tomato vape is bad bad bad.

Vaping some of the other juices Miss T has I would totally give her tomato a try with no regrets. That's just me...

 

[ohai]

You are insane. Tomato vape is bad bad bad.

Yeah, well, if I'd mixed it with malted milk, I might think so too.

 

[ohai]

You can get the pepper from FreedomSmokeUSA- a sample size bottle is really cheap and a little goes a long way. It does need to steep with the lid off a few days though.

 

[JENerationX]

OK.... bloody mary vaoe sounds good.
