Hi all. I've been lurking here for a while and I want to thank all of you for your very helpful posts. I am a nurse, used to mix chemotherapy, so I'm comfortable mixing my own juice. I set up a mixing box the way I used to set up my chemo hood. Anyway, a note on PA's Earl Gray Tea, WOW. I mixed at 20%(way too strong) and then mixed that with PA's Sweet Cream (mixed at 20%) 1:4. That's one part (mixed at 20%) EG with 4 parts SC (mixed at 20%). I added one drop of EZ-Sweets per 10mL of juice. Tastes so much like the real thing. I had to mix a batch of 0mg nic/mL to keep myself from over-vaping myself dizzy.

Hello PA lovers =)

I have been using Linda's flavors for a long time now. One of the recipes I have been working on for a while is a Sweet Cinnamon, which I recently decided to share with Linda and the community. The part that makes it so different from other recipes based on Linda's Cinnamon RedHots flavor is the use of a concentrated Ethyl Maltol liquid that takes several days to properly prepare (I do not know of a faster way to fully saturate it without the resulting liquid re-crystalizing). I find that the sweetness of this concentrated liquid goes far, far beyond the sweetness from a standard 10% mixture, and can do some amazing things to many of the flavors PA carries.

Anyway, the Sweet Cinnamon formula goes so fast around here that between our house and the neighbors, I find myself needing to mix a new bottle every couple days. I posted the recipe in the Recipes section for anyone interested, but I thought I should reference it here for a couple reasons:

- Cinnamon fans would likely browse this thread at some point or other, since PA carries the best cinnamon flavors around.
- I suspect PA fans are likely more technical/advanced in their mixing and would therefore be more likely than others to be interested in making the concentrated Ethyl Maltol.
- Other than the base nicotine mixing liquid, all ingredients can be purchased from PA.

So, if you like strong sweet cinnamon liquids, or want to add a new dimension of sweetness to your other favorite PA flavors, check it out :)

Thanks for posting this about the Earl Grey flavoring. I was wondering how strong I should mix this and now I have an idea where to start.

I bought Earl Grey last week but due to my cat breaking his leg I have not had time to mix. (Cat is doing fine, BTW)

She always adds a new flavor the day AFTER I place an order...
If anyone happens to get the new "double chocolate" let me know how you like it :D

PA Double Chocolate is like a rich chocolate cake. Lately I've been putting 1-2 drops of it directly in the cart, then filling up the cart with the sweet cinnamon liquid (makes a good base and adds a bit of a bite to it). It tastes absolutely fantastic. I just got the 15ml, and I already see the dent in it, so I'll probably be ordering a 30ml very shortly. I must say I like this best amongst all the PA chocolates so far. I think if you like chocolate, you really can't go wrong with this one.

Most people can't tell the difference, you just don't see black sesame seeds in America either because white ones look better on burger buns or McDonald's is racist.

Both black and white sesame seeds are used in Chinese cooking. (A third variety of beige colored sesame seeds is not as popular). Like sesame oil, white sesame seeds have a nutty flavor, while black sesame seeds taste more bitter. However, whether a recipe calls for white or black seeds often has more to do with the appearance of a dish rather than flavor.
