Hi...

Due to my low posting reate (6 ATM :blush: ) I had to ask in the Newbee-Board
first and still I'm not allowed to (cross)link - sorry for the Double...

Is anybody around who can tell me (by own experiences) the differences
between or answer the questions about the following flavors from PA :

PA Koolada: like solubled crystals?

Willi, i sent a friend Koolada last year when it was a test crystal, since i don't use menthol. the crystals are very strong and he couldn't translate his mixing to drops.

what he ended up doing was putting a drop on the atomizer and then dripping his regular juice. (you could use a cart of your regular juice if you don't drip)

he said the menthol flavor lasted for hours from that one drop and he didn't have to mix it in his juices. ie: it added menthol to all his juice via the atomizer.

hope this helps.

Your wish is my command. :D It wouldn't all fit in one blog post, so I made two of them:

Enjoy!

holy crap littlegirl! thank YOU!!!

you and i have similar taste buds. I use PG mostly and you are spot on with the PG and cola giving quite a kick. With all linda's flavors I can only use drops though, because my taste buds are too strong. I'm still vaping down a 4ml bottle of super strong cola, so i can add pg when i have enough room in the bottle (lazy vaper lol) I'll try VG to cut the TH some more.

Does anyone use PA Honey? Mine smells like flowers and I don't want to mix it and ruin juice. any tips to cut it more?

thx

Thanks for your input.
Linda now sells it pre-diluted in PG, so I will start slowly "dröpche für dröpche" :oops:
Seems, the just ordered 8ml-bottle will last for a long, long time :laugh:

since it could be important for a number of reasons, you might want to write to Linda and ask her. She's very nice. :)
I know and I just asked her - I now have a point to start with.

Great job, thanks a lot - helped me to reach the "28$-Limit" for my order today ;)

btw: why do you use the "blog" for the reviews and not a normal thread?

I've been playing around with PA flavors a bit!

So far, I've tried watermelon, plum, and waffle. I have the Tobacco(alc) one as well, but haven't tried it yet.

I agree with Little Girl's assessment of the watermelon - tastes like Jolly Rancher, but not as bitter. I like it a lot.

The plum... I don't really care for by itself. It's not bad, I just can't seem to add enough to get true flavor to come through. But I really like it with other stuff. I mixed a bit with mint, and it's quite nice like that.

The waffle I am madly, madly in love with. Oh my god. I want a gallon of this stuff.

Excellent work on the reviews Little Girl. You should submit them to Linda as well to put on her site.

Thanks! I've submitted the ones marked sample to her already, and plan on submitting all the rest when the list is finished. Almost there... :)

you and i have similar taste buds.

Awesome! It's nice to meet someone who has similar tastes! Are there any flavors you've tried that I didn't review that I might like? I've ordered some more, but haven't gotten them yet. :laugh:

I use PG mostly and you are spot on with the PG and cola giving quite a kick. With all linda's flavors I can only use drops though, because my taste buds are too strong.

Yeah, that's all it usually takes is a few drops of flavor. Only a couple of flavors have required heavy use.

I'm still vaping down a 4ml bottle of super strong cola, so i can add pg when i have enough room in the bottle (lazy vaper lol) I'll try VG to cut the TH some more.

If you have some Graham Cracker, try mixing that with the cola. Those two flavors go really well together, and it mellows the Cola out. :closedeyes:

Does anyone use PA Honey? Mine smells like flowers and I don't want to mix it and ruin juice. any tips to cut it more?

I just now ordered some of that. I'll let you know how it mixes up for me. If I were you I'd mix a batch of it with VG or PG or a mixture of both and drip it into your e-cig to try it. I don't think Honey will own an atomizer the way mint flavors do. :D

Great job, thanks a lot - helped me to reach the "28$-Limit" for my order today ;)

LOL - do we all do that? I set myself a limit and then go hunting around on a vendor's site to get as close as I can without going over. ;)

btw: why do you use the "blog" for the reviews and not a normal thread?

Because I don't want to turn into a pumpkin! 8-o We only have editing power of our messages for a limited time, whereas with the blog I can go back and edit it whenever I like. Since some of my reviews aren't done, I wanted to make sure I could get in there and finish them.:thumb:

The waffle I am madly, madly in love with. Oh my god. I want a gallon of this stuff.

I am so with you on that! Graham Cracker is actually my Very Favorite Flavor Of All Time, but I love it even more mixed with Waffle. If you've got some Graham Cracker, try mixing them and let me know what you think. OMG, I think this stuff should probably be illegal, it's so good. :banana:

oh wow little girl, i have some waffle but haven't messed with it yet. i have graham cracker too. there are so many flavors that i have here that i have yet to try. i'm a pretty lazy vapor lol. i find something i like and i'm good to go.

linda did send me a 2nd bottle of honey and it's still too flowery for me. I'll try mixing it with vg and graham like you said and see if it kills the perfume. if not, i'd be happy to send them to someone that likes them.

the thing about linda's 4ml bottles, the bottles alone are worth the money. i love the cute little dropper bottles ;)

Anyone tried the peppermint? I mixed it at ~22% and its absolutely awesome! To me its a bit less potent than an altoid, but still very strong on the menthol hit. With a bit of their Sweet Creme I can see this making an awesome Candy Cane flavor! Going to order some and find out, but has anyone tried that combo?

Then you'll be set for quite some time, and content to boot! :D

I just received some of the honey as well, and it does smell very flowery. I'll be trying it out tomorrow, and if it's as flowery as it smells, I'll see what I can come up with to mellow it out now that I have a large collection of PA flavors to work with. :)

the thing about linda's 4ml bottles, the bottles alone are worth the money. i love the cute little dropper bottles ;)

Yeah, those are pretty sweet. By the way, the little glass eye dropper lids that go into those also fit on the 10ml plastic bottles. ;)

I just did, and the Sweet Cream flavor gets totally overpowered by the Peppermint flavor. I mixed the Sweet Cream at 20% with VG and I mixed the Peppermint at 10% with VG. Then I combined the two 50/50.

What worked really nicely was a mixture of Peppermint and Marshmallow, both mixed at 10% with VG and mixed 50/50 together. Kind of a cool, creamy Peppermint. :laugh:

OMG thank you!! that is a great tip!

let me know how you make out with the honey. i'd love some recipes to mellow it down. I also have some caramel cappacino that is unvapeable to me with the perfume smell.

I don't know if i read it on this thread or somewhere else that some perfumey juice actually doesn't taste perfumey when vaped. I just can't get past the sniff test and keep adding flavoring to kill it and ultimately have to chuck my test juice.

sometimes i'll throw out the plastic bottle along with it b/c i want zero hint of the foo fume smell near my stuff lol.

Especially since the 10ml drip tips are messier than the 3ml drip tips even though both come from the same supplier (US Plastics). :blink:

let me know how you make out with the honey. i'd love some recipes to mellow it down.

I mixed it at 10% with VG and it doesn't taste anything like it smells. I actually find the smell unpleasant, but the taste is just like eating a honeycomb. Try mixing it with some Brown Sugar Concentrated and see if that doesn't mellow it down some.

I also have some caramel cappacino that is unvapeable to me with the perfume smell.

Did you taste it? I can't tolerate the smell either, but it has a lovely creamy caramel taste and a nutty after-taste. It actually tastes nothing like it smells. And if you like the taste, transfer it to a glass bottle and you can keep it without the smell overpowering you. :)

I don't know if i read it on this thread or somewhere else that some perfumey juice actually doesn't taste perfumey when vaped.

I'll totally agree. Many of these flavors taste nothing like they smell, so it's always best to go ahead and give it a try to see what you think of it. Nine times out of ten if you don't like the smell, you won't be able to smell it when it's in a cartridge or cartomizer in your e-cigarette, if you use those rather than dripping, so you might really enjoy vaping them despite the smell. :smokie:

I just can't get past the sniff test and keep adding flavoring to kill it and ultimately have to chuck my test juice.

I've made it a rule that I always test any flavor out at 10% mixed with VG first. If that's too strong, I mix it down to 5% and try it again. If it's not strong enough, I bump it up and keep trying it until I find the strength it needs to be. I make a 10ml bottle of it and then use that to mix with other flavors later. :cool:

sometimes i'll throw out the plastic bottle along with it b/c i want zero hint of the foo fume smell near my stuff lol.

I've only done that with the Caramel Capuccino, but that was because it literally smelled up our entire apartment and I didn't happen to have a glass jar handy. :laugh:

I just received some PA flavors..Oh My Goodness, I never thought DIY would taste so good! It has been on my PV for two days now! Incredible how clean and wonderful the flavors are...A new monster has emerged from my somewhat new obsession in vaping :D

Fun, huh? What flavors did you get? Just wait - my whole kitchen table has turned into my mad scientist laboratory!

I got chocolate, milk chocolate (OMG I can taste chocolate vape with PA!!), hazelnut, cheesecake, graham cracker, sweetener, ripe banana, jamaican rum, and brown sugar. I mixed up a chocolate hazelnut cheesecake, first try was incredible! The ripe banana is out of this world, and now I look forward to adding graham cracker to it and making banana creme pie. I am also going to attempt a bananas foster.

This is unreal! I just ordered 500ml of unflavored nic so I can keep going!
