Random DIY mixing and More

I don't use a lot of apple flavor but I liked VT green apple and VT Fuji red apple.

Also I thought two apples was good. I think it's INW

Apparently when rf went out of business they sold their recipes to another company. I’d tend to wonder how closely recipes will be followed,

There was a long discussion on the “new” jam and toast (???) on another site. It’s apparently not close in flavor or color. There’s also suspicion that Chefs Fantasy line is rf, but no ABC.

“Bourbon vanilla is the name for all vanilla grown in Madagascar and other islands in the Indian Ocean, including Comoros and Réunion. Réunion was formerly known as the ÃŽle Bourbon, and it is the name of that island that gave Bourbon Vanilla its name. Bourbon vanilla beans come from the orchid V. planifolia.”

My NETs from Pops will be steeped and ready when I get home this weekend!!! Really looking forward to trying them as I have no idea what a NET tastes like. My second squid squad pod (rba tank) was delivered today at Mom’s. I think I’ll test them in it. Also, it looks like both flavor orders have been delivered at home.

Too iffy to take a gamble on. If you never tried ABC before how would you even know? Glad I stocked up for my own use before the ax fell.

Thanks Hitt. I might hitt you up down the road for this info depending on how my current mix turns out. Not a big fan of apple here either (or many fruit vapes) but they do blend well with other flavors to impart a natural sweetness. Someone else recommended Fuji (PJ maybe) but I have the FA version. It's not horrible but not exactly what I was looking for. Maybe she meant the VT version. As I delve deeper into this project, I think I'm looking for a red apple flavor more than a green apple.

So it has nothing to do with the booze, eh?

Keep in mind, NETs is a very large family of flavors. The only thing they have in common is they are made from real tobacco. It splits off in endless directions beyond that. The tobacco itself imparts very different flavors. All depends on the tobacco variety and where it is grown and how it is processed (aged/cured). You cannot count how many of these variants there are. Then when cased flavorings are added to the tobacco the count goes into the stratosphere.

I have 3 30ml bottles, plus part of one in use of ABC. I didn’t have any other “must have” flavors from them so I didn’t worry too much about the change over.

It was my only RF must-have also.

This blog post explains the Real Flavors situation. The only flavor I use from them is Soda Base and I do have backstock. Still, it is good to know that we will be able to get what we liked in the future.

My only lasting experience with tobacco flavors was Johnson’s Creek when it first came out. While it was better than Dekang(??? or whatever the China juice was back then), it still reminded me of lighting up a stubbed out stinky from the day before. It was awful in a cigalike cart, so I never could get past the thought of how much worse it might be in a tank in later years. I’m excited to try some that taste good.

Oops, Forgot about Soda Base! I don’t use it often, but do have a big backup bottle. Has anyone done a review on the new versions of RF/DIY flavors?

I started with Johnson Creek. Then I discovered NETs and ditched JC like a bad habit.

I’ll be home Sunday . Thank you again for sharing with me!! I may have to just flip a coin to decide which one to try first. They all sound appealing!

So that's why I couldn't find any. You bought it all.

I’ve had mine for a while . 30s was all they had, so that’s what I ordered. I’m sure someone more talented than me could make up a version, but for me, there are some flavors that have no substitute. I also stocked up on v1 holy holy vanilla before it went POOF.

You may need to savor the Decatur Black Cherry - I don't have any more, and p&c is shows it backordered.

I suspect the "bourbon" in Aged Bourbon Cream does indeed refer to the liquor, not the variety of vanilla. As far as I can tell, the idea is that ABC mimics the flavor of cream aged in charred oak barrels used previously for bourbon, which would add all kinds of interesting flavor notes without making the flavoring boozy.

After 50+ years I wonder what kind of flavor my wooden cigar box that I store my army men would impart.

I also got big bottles of the hhv v1 and holy ry4. I just never got around to trying the ABC.
