That one's nice because it's so simple, but if you want a fantastic, authentic Italian lemon dessert, do this one:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...5-hics-limoncello-torrone-parfait-recipe.html

Everyone who tries it wants their own bottle. I know 2 people who consider it my very best recipe (both like sweet lemon).

I agree - it is your very best recipe - I have it in my Reo Grand at all times :) Oh, and Cuba Libra in the Fogger with cellutotton - amazing!

I've made quite a few mixes today and so far so good.....really good :) I want to try the apple pear frangipane but I don't have the cinnamon ceylon (yet). I do have CAP horchata, FW cinnamon churro, and TFA cinnamon danish and holiday spice.

I'm thinking the holiday spice would be a good enough substitute. What do you think?

In this day and age, it is made in a eco friendly environment, meaning no harmful chemicals are used in the processing of it. There is also no residue. Also one thing to consider is dry hits, I have yet to get a dry hit from rayon cotton. Dry hits is the stage of actual burning of the wick, if it burns you get the smoke from the burning wick, thus the nasty taste on dry hits.

Thank you , I will do some more reading in the thread.

Chocolate and Cocoa are vastly different. I use Choc or choc+cocoa only as a liqueur flavor in complex recipes. It tastes like an alcoholic beverage to me, and works well as one if the recipe is just right. Standalone Chocolate? No way, not for me. Cocoa is perfectly named; you'll see when you try it. With VT nic, it's excellent standalone or with a hint of b'scotch, caramel, marshmallow...something sweet/creamy. With WL nic, it takes a lot of additions (IMO) to taste sweet enough, and it's a balancing act to keep the superb cocoa flavor versus getting it sweet/creamy enough. The improvement in Cocoa alone is enough reason to get VT nic! My favorite recipes with Cocoa are my Basic Cocoa Cookies and Thin Mints. They're excellent chocolate flavors made with Cocoa and work with any nic base.

First off, thank you :).

Different is what I was looking for. I have a few other chocolate flavors I like, though I feel they need a little boost and I'm hoping the cocoa will provide it. I'm actually looking for a deeper cocoa taste, so if it's a little bitter, that's perfect!

Almond smells like almond extract made from sweet almonds. Marzipan is almond paste made into candy, so it's very sweet, but with the flavor of bitter almond. Bitter almond is the distinctive flavor in amaretto liqueur. I use it as a sweetener in recipes that need a bit of almond or liqueur flavor. Check out my Amaretto Disaronno recipe to see how Almond and Marzipan work together. I use almond exactly like I'd use almond extract. Sometimes you need both, for a balanced almond flavor. I don't like real marzipan (though I love amaretto), but it's great for vape recipes.

I may be on the fence with Almond. I was hoping it'd be more of a deep, nutty almond (like almond butter) instead of the extract, though I'm sure I'll find a use for it. Marzipan was picked up simply because of me picking up Almond. Despite not being the deeper, nutty flavor, I'm sure I'll find a use for them both.

Torrone is Italian nougat candy - google photos, bet you've had it. I sometimes use it as a sweetener in Italian-inspired recipes. Mostly, I use it as torrone! Great plain, or add one nut flavor and/or fruit for authentic Italian candy. (pistachio-cherry, walnut-mandarin, like that) I don't like real torrone, but even standalone, it's a favorite vape for me.

I've honestly never tried it. Most of the "authentic" candy around here is far from it. The closest thing to Torrone here would be divinity fudge, which is basically marshmallow cream, sugar, butter and pecans or almonds. It's like a "nougat" but so far from it at the same time. It's overly sweet and loaded with sugar and pricey for what it is. Unless I head towards Knoxville, Chattanooga or Nashville, we don't have too many candy shops here in East Tennessee - none that really do hand-made / crafted candies (I WISH!).

Except for Chocolate, the flavors you asked about are all perfectly accurate to their names. Cocoa, Torrone, and Marzipan in particular are 3 of FA's very best. No other brand comes close to similar flavors and, armed with an Italian dessert cookbook, you can make awesome vape recipes. In fact, you couldn't make accurate Italian dessert flavors without them (and espresso, and several others).


Espresso is one I missed, but it'll be in a follow up. Not sure how I missed it, but I did :). Thanks for the help HIC - definitely appreciated. Hopefully they'll be here this week and if they come out as good as you say, I'll be following up with some larger bottles!

I would not pick Holiday Spice. That's a mostly nutmeg flavor. FW Cinn Curro is a flavor I can't vape, just something weird in that one. I don't know how Capella's Horchata tastes. TFA Cinn Danish would work...so just pick your favorite cinnamon.

What are you thoughts on Cinnamon Ceylon?

By that, compared to, let's say Cinnamon Sugar Cookie from TFA. The cinnamon in that mix, I can't vape. It tastes so bad, to me, that it gives me a migraine after just 2-3 pulls. If we compare that to the cinnamon in FW's cinnamon roll, it's a favorite of mine.

Just trying to gauge as short of creating my own cinnamon extract, which isn't exactly "vape safe" in terms of what gets extracted (coumarin), I've yet to find a cinnamon flavor I actually like and can vape.

I've finally gotten to try the Lemon Sicily. It's REALLY nice!! We2 had posted this recipe, next I'm going to make Bryon's Lemon Delight cookie. Mixing days are usually Friday for me.




Also gonna make HIC's Lemon Custard!! Likin' this Sicily.

Lemon Delight Cookie is A+

Could only leave it alone for a day, smelled & tasted good so I filled up a tank, lol.

First time I've tried anything with lemon and I like it a lot...

I don't have a favorite cinnamon so I'll try TFA. Thanks!

K I want to try this Forest Fruit flavour, can anyone suggest a percentage for this flavour? or another FA flavour to add to it?

thank you:)

Cheesecake! TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust goes with everything! Also, you could always try a cream, maybe other fruits. HIC recently made a cheesecake using just FA flavors!

I have an update regarding the Golden Oreo Cheesecake. I kept talking about how sweet it is, but it's really mellowed out nicely after a few days. And it really does still remind me so much of cake! Yay :)

I know I have read this somewhere on these threads....Can't I take my 100mg nic and make a 60ml bottle of base to use for samples? Just seems to make more sense than playing with the nic everytime I want to make a little juice. I have a healthy respect for the nic :laugh:

I usually take my 100mg nic and make a 7ml base of 50/50 pg/vg. I vape at 6mg, so that generally works out well for me.

I have to keep things simple and pop my values into the ejuicemeup calculator (or whichever you use). I used a wide mouthed jar, made a big batch of unflavored with my preferred nic level. When I make 5ml batches, I try to accommodate for the amount of flavorings I'm using. If it's off a little, whatever, lol. I'm at about 12mg, so if it's off a bit, no worries. If I'm mixing for boyfriend, I pull out the nic and everything else to keep it accurate.

I do. I keep a couple 120ml bottles of diluted nic base, because I mix recipes for people who vape different strengths. My 100mg/ml nic base stays safely tucked in the freezer unless I'm refilling those bottles.

Question for those of you that vape in tanks made of material other than glass/metal - has anyone found any FA tank crackers? Given that we use such low percentages, perhaps it's not an issue?

I've wondered about that, too. I did crack an EVOD with a peppermint+spearmint mix - it was about 6% total flavoring. I suspect spearmint is the culprit, because I vape recipes with FA peppermint in plastic without trouble. I have a plastic tank dedicated to Limoncello Torrone Parfait, and after at least a month, it's just fine. I know Coconut, Banana, and the nut flavors are fine in my plastic tanks. I would never put Anise in plastic, though.

I like the warmer vapor that my favorite plastic tanks give. If not for that, I'd just stick with glass.

Have you had plastic tank mishaps with FA flavors?
