Random DIY mixing and More

[Skunk!]

Did a test batch of PST and Butterscotch Ripple. Oh man that's good!

I don't like those flavors in RL so I will pass on them.

I am hoping NR will have a sale also as I need some Purlium refills. Never ending with the flavors, is it?

LOL

I like several vape flavors that I dislike in RL and yes it's neverending

Thinking it’s time to brave a couple tobaccos, as I’ve talked about it long enough I guess. I’m looking at the ones in ECX sale atm. I know absolutely nothing about any of these. I selected top rated but theres quite a few 5 stars. If anyone has any input, it’d be most appreciated. I hadn’t planned on mixing with tobaccos but @FranC says I should try some. So, this is what I’m looking at...

Vanilla Pipe
Gold Ducat
Cavendish
AM4A

ECX
Hongtashan (Black Fire)
KNT
tobacco Aditive
Golden Leaf
Cohiba Flavor
Turkish

Flavor West
Inport Beach
Peach Tobacco
American
Havana Cigar
Honey Wood
Vanilla Tobacco

Jungle Flavors
American Tobacco

Flavor Art
Soho
RY4
Dark Vapor
*Oba Oba (leaning on this one)
Eclipse
Dessert Ship
Cuban Supreme
Flash
Oryental 4
Cam Blend Ultimate
Black Fire
Tuscan reserve Ultimate

TFA
RY4 Double
RY4 Type

I know very little about any of those flavors. Except I dislike all ry4's .INW Gold Ducat is pretty good. I have FA SoHo mixed but haven't tried it. My favorite mixers are HS Ry3 and HS Fortune Strike. Sometimes HS
Flue Cured.

I get zero sweetness from it; just straightforward tea (maybe a bit more toward Lipton VS. true green tea, but tea none the less). However, with your sensitivity to sweet, I am not making any guarantees.

That is really good to know Ty

Lots of people like that one. ST is good but I find it too weak for my tastes.

To me, the VTA Sorbet Base has an odd flavor that I can't pinpoint. It is slightly sweet with an undefinable citrus note and a bit of a coolant, probably Koolada. I made a Pineapple Basil Sorbet using the VTA Sorbet Base and though it is nice, that odd flavor is still there. Wish I could figure out what it is.

Might have been your pineapple sorbet that I changed to Berry Sorbet. IDK

 

[FranC]

Try it and let me know if the CAP Lemon Lime works with the berries at 5.5%. I can tell you it doesn't work with pineapples and I used three and made them strong!

I would think 5.5% Cap Lemon Lime would be extremely sweet.

 

[FranC]

WooHoo. There it is. BullCity sale.20% off. Code JULY18. Good thru the 4th.

I am a HUGE fan of Brandy plus apricot, but my apricots are sweet.

Boozy apricots sounds like something I’d like to try. Do you mind sharing your recipe?

The coolant in the Sorbet Base is very light - just a touch of ice. It just has an off flavor, for me. I would love to hear what others who have tried it have to say.

I get the same from Purilum’s Toasted coconut mango sherbert.

I don’t have FW blackberry atm but it’ll be here in a couple days and I’ll mix it then. I might also do a 5ml tester either bumping up the berries or slightly dropping the lemon.

Have either of these recipes been posted here... Pam's raspberry sorbet (?) or berry sorbet?

@NatashaTMT BCF does have the Hangsen tobaccos. And ObaOba is not a tobacco.

Great, thanks! Wondering why it’s in tobaccos at ECX. Perhaps a baccy booster of some kind...

Pam said she doesn't have a Berry Sorbet of any kind. Still trying to figure this out.

I wouldn't think so.

 

[FranC]

The BCF code is working. Giving me over $12 off but I lost the Free Shipping. Need to add .95c to my order. I have to add a 10ml of something TFA. Ideas?

 

[FranC]

I just added a 10ml size of TFA Green Tea to go with my 30....LOL. Order has been placed.

Good call!

 

[NatashaTMT]

@FranC Believe I have to try teas now also. This is another one I probably never would’ve tried if not inspired by your thread.

 

[FranC]

I think so. I like the teas I've mixed so far mostly. Still have a couple I haven't tried yet.

What you want for Green Tea is TFA and FA for Black Tea. Joel has got me to order the TFA Earl Grey. I ordered the FLV Easai Tea also (Looks tasty).
