Random DIY mixing and More

[PJReid]

The Sweet Mango Chill (two versions, one with Dragonfruit, one with Passionfruit) show a lot of promise. I tested them in my Drop, which I hate really. I will fill some tanks and give a proper report then.

The Cranberry Gin & Tonic is quite good, actually. Cranberry seems strong enough to compete with the juniper berries. I did cut the FA Gin down to 1.5% but think it could handle 2%. This is a keeper. I am steeping the one with FLV Cranberry for a week since dirt isn't my favorite thing to vape.

Cranberry Gin & Tonic
Cranberry (TPA) 4%
Gin (FA) 1.5 to 2%
Lime Tahiti (Cold Pressed) (FA) 0.5% (I will go up a bit on the lime next time - maybe adding .25% Tahiti Distilled)
SugarDaddy Sweetener 0.5% (or your favorite sweetener)
Wine Champagne (FA) 1.5% (should have mentioned in my flavor notes that FA Wine Champagne steeps into something resembling tonic water)
WS-23 30% 0.5%

Thank you much,Pam I'll be mixing the Cranberry Gin & Tonic first chance I get.

This is really, really tart so I recommend you add sweetener. Of course, you can mix without, then add a bit at a time to find your sweet spot. You and sweet!

Yes indeed. I will mix without. On very rare occasion I have added a tad of sweetener.

Perhaps we should all stock up on flavors.

Put all my flavors in my cart at BullCity and found out I qualify for free shipping. BUT I'm gonna dump the FW White Grape because I have the PUR. Also going to dump the INW Raspberry maybe because I have the Pur,TFA and Cap.

Didn't have any luck at ATF so going to check Reddit and ELR for tea recipes.

Here is an Arnold Palmer I came across but have not tried personally. It sounds nice.

• 1% (CAP) Italian Lemon Sicily
  
• 4% (LA) Lemonade
  
• 0.75% (FLV) Sweetness
  
• 1.25% (FA) Tea Black Water Soluble

I would personally switch out the CAP Lemon Sicily for FA Lemon Sicily but that is my preference. I have both but never use CAP's.

Ty I agree on the Lemon. I have both too.

 

[PJReid]

Ty I agree on the Lemon. I have both too.

My notes on the CAP:

• CAP Italian Lemon Sicily
  

This is a nice enough lemon but a bit weak. It is sweetish, more a sweet, light hint of lemon than a true Italian Lemon Sicily flavor. Some say it is a candy-like lemon. Maybe if a lot is used, it could be a lemon drop but lemon drops are tart and there is no tart here. This is definitely not a sub for FA Lemon Sicily. This could a nice accent for blueberry, fruits, and cakes – something where a touch of a lemon note is desired. Not all that citrusy. The sweetness does give it some mouthfeel but not as much as some.

I agree.

Reddit didn't give me much for ideas so it's ELR next. What happened to simple tea recipes?

 

[FranC]

Had some very basic tea help from reddit search engine. Couple rough ideas.

Anyone have interest in the FLV Red Tea? Not sure if I want to get it or not.

 

[FranC]

Another question. Has anyone tried any of the VT chocolate flavors?

 

[FranC]

Who woulda thunk it would be so hard to find simple tea recipes? Why is it necessary to add all these creams and fruits into a tea recipe??

I did finally find at least a couple basic ideas and added honeysuckle to my cart.

 

[PJReid]

Mango Summer Chill
Cactus (INAWERA) 0.25%
Dragonfruit (TPA) 1% or FA Passionfruit 1% (Passionfruit has a floral note to me, so I like dragonfruit more)
Honeydew Melon (JF) 2%
Lemon Juicy (JF) 0.15%
Mango (Flavorah) 1%
Pear (FA) 0.50%
Sweet Mango (CAP) 3%
WS-23 30% 0.75%

I adapted this from Sweet Summer Chilled on ATF which uses kiwi instead of mango. I have mango and no kiwi, therefore, adapt. When I get some kiwi, I will try it with kiwi. It is a refreshing summer vape.

 

[FranC]

Looks good,Pam I do have kiwi.

Isn't FLV Red Tea based on Rooibos tea? It would be way too floral for me in a vape.

There just isn't as many that mix them Fran.
