Random DIY mixing and More

[PapawBrett]

Look at your label. Probably not Ethyl Maltol.

 

[Pinggolfer]

I grabbed some cantaloupe and honeydew on this last order. Trying to think how I want to use them. Want to try them without cremes or custards or anything heavy like that. Something punchy but not heavy. Maybe I should just mix the two and see what happens. Not sure what ratios. Got the Cantaloupe (FA) and Honeydew (TFA). Chime in if you have any ideas here.

I hope you find the right vape. You might have the right recipe but the wrong brand of flavoring. My Lord so many variables. If I don't gag I'll be successful.

 

[PapawBrett]

So I thought I'd try Sweet Strawberry 6%, Strawberry & Cream 3%, Vanilla Swirl 3%, and DX Bavarian Cream 3% (all TFA). Give it a week, either it's startable or dump.

 

[PapawBrett]

OK, I think I need to put away my toys for now.
I just looked a little closer - I have seven 10ml 'trial' flavors from July 1st, and four NET 10ml 'trial' mixes from June 10 that I haven't tried yet.
Time to break out the P2 / Achilles....

Nothing like that on my label.

TFA Sweetener is sucralose at 5% with Ethyl Maltol at 5%.

Should work

Is that the sweetener you have to warm up and shake to dissolve the crystals ?

TFA makes a liquid sweetener as does others. EM can come in crystals that have to be dissolved in PG.

Sweetener-TFA

Ethyl Maltol can be purchased in a 10% solution, or as a Cotton Candy flavoring (like TFA/FW Cotton Candy ), or in a powder form where you can dilute them yourself.

Does anyone know of a good coconut? The one I bought from TFA has this twang to it and aftertaste that I.cannot.vape even if I tried. I can't even smell it now for wanting to hurl. TIA

FLAVOUR ART

• Coco’ (Coconut)

This is a nice, creamy coconut. It is more like the meat or juice from a coconut and not husk. This is not packaged, shredded coconut. It isn’t sweet and it isn’t artificial. Needs some sweetness added for a nice mix. I would use it at about 2% along with other coconuts to make a nice, sweet, coconut flavor.​

FLAVORAH

• Sweet Coconut
  This is a nice, sweet, authentic coconut. Some pick up a floral taste, but I don’t. It isn’t super sweet, just a nice, naturally sweet with some coconut milk. It tastes like Coco Lopez so should be perfect in a tropical drink. It is lighter than some and more tropical. It is clean, fresh, and bright in flavor yet creamy and decadent. Use at 1.5% to 2% in a mix, with some FA Coco’ or INW Coconut to get true coconut milk.

INAWERA

• Coconut
  A nice milky coconut but with the taste of bagged, shredded coconut. A tough of husk is there, but it is light. This is not particularly sweet and I would consider it another mixing flavor to get a complete coconut. Not as fresh as FA, similar but a bit stronger. Mix no higher than 1.5% in a mix. I wouldn’t use it as a single flavor. It needs some helper flavors.

JUNGLE FLAVORS

• Coconut
  Similar to TFA Coconut. Another lightly sweetened, bagged, and shredded coconut. Use at low percentages to avoid suntan lotion. No higher than .5% to 1% to enhance a coconut mix. I would say interchangeable with TFA.

PURILUM

• Fresh Coconut
  Freshly made as a single flavor tester at 7%, I get nothing other than a lightly sweet syrup with plastic undertones. I will test again in 7 days to see if a steep helps.

TFA

• Coconut
  This is a little sweeter than FA or INW. It tastes more like the taste of sweetened, bagged, shredded coconut. Use it at .5% to enhance other coconuts or you might get a sunscreen flavor. At low percentages, it is smooth and mild. The sweetness is nice.

• Coconut Candy
  This is the sweetest coconut I tested. It is like a creamy, sweet, coconut candy. An enhancer if you want a good coconut mix. Use it at 1 to 2% to enhance a coconut mix. Definitely one to add to complete your mix. A mildly toasted flavor.

A trace of lime? A whisper of mint?

This reminds me of another thing I'd like to do eventually: comb through this thread and eventually others for these kinds of flavor notes and collect them all in one place.

I think I would fall asleep long before the halfway point.
Not that it would be boring. But long tedious tasks remind me of old man naps.

Cotton candy is EM

 

[FranC]

The last juice on my nightstand is just meh......no remix. I will vape the little in my tank and then move on to my last mix which is a Strawberry Biscuit that I'm hoping is good.

Former copy editor here. Long, repetitive tasks used to be my bread and butter. (Not that all projects were long and repetitive, but a fair few were.)

Wow! I’m blown away! This is exactly what I needed. I just printed this. I’m thinking of ordering a bunch of juice soon and this will help so much. I’ve heard coconut is hard in a vape and I love all things coconut so hopefully I’ll find something in this list that I like. I think floral is what I was tasting with the tfa. Bleck. Thank you so much...

Edited to add YES I was tasting sunscreen. That’s it! I’ll lower the %.

Fran, I got my zbiip from ejuices today. I used points for it. I didn’t realize how big it is.

Do those use all the Zenith coils? Specifically, the .8 and 1.6? I they seem to emphasize that it works with the Z coils, but I didn't see anything about the normal Zenith coils.
