hm ok so I should get ws-23? I've had vapes with koolada in it but didn't care for it because it had a somewhat menthol taste....so ws-23 gives the cooling effect without the menthol taste??
For me WS-23 is cooling but I don’t taste it @.75%.

I have to deal with less than steady hands, and lousy eyesight. All my coil building takes place under one of these:

My biggest problem is the lack of sensation in my hands. I can't even feel the wire in the coils I just got, and manipulating the screws and screwdrivers is very tricky.

That’s understandable. Stick with whatever is easiest. Before I was building, I use to use a sub ohm tank and just put base and flavor into the tank to sft. I did it by drops then volume but less than 3-5 mls just to get an idea about the flavor as best I could with that method.

You certainly don’t need to build or even use RDAs to get an idea about a flavor and be good at mixing. The sft’s may not be as precise as how some others do it but it may work for you.

I get no taste at all from ws23. I get a sort of menthol cough drop from koolada. Plus ws23 is way stronger

I looked around and don’t see it anywhere but chefs.

Apparently, FA has some flavors for the UK only. IDK why. Maybe the Great Bake-off and the stuff is wonderful in a Victoria Sponge. LOL Anyway, Lemon Zest is one of those flavors.

    That's a little high in the air for a toilet seat isn't it?:D
    Yeah... but, as a guy gets older and more out of shape, it is nice when one doesn't have to squat so low. I am all about the "high rise" seating these days! :lol::lol::lol:
    I got the bottle of flavoring that was missing from my last order and they threw in a bottle of bergamot. Not really sure what to do with it.
    Earl Grey tea is what came to my mind too. It is the "other" flavor besides "tea" flavor that make it Earl Grey. Mostly citrusy, a bit herby, with just a suggestion of spice.

    It should pare well with most citruses, and winter fruits (apples, pairs, and maybe stone fruits?). Just start out sparingly... it is a real bully. :)

    I feel for you. I am "able-bodied" by most standards (unless you ask my ex's:pervy: ); and nowhere close to what I was twenty years ago. I can't imagine trying to coil build with additional challenges.
    You are my new hero! :wub:

    I did end up ordering from Chefs, I got CC Digestive Biscuit, FA Lemon Zest (BCF doesn’t have it), FW Butterscotch Ripple & a one shot Cryptic Vanilla.

    Lemon Zest FA sounds interesting. I wonder how many different lemon concentrates I can collect lol?!

    Bergamot is a citrus fruit and the primary flavoring in Earl Grey tea. I LOVE the way it smells! It is a hybrid of a lemon and a bitter orange.

    I use bergamot essential oils for my aromatherapy. It’s lovely in small amounts- the fragrance is anyways. I don’t know if I’ve ever tasted it.
