Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Hi everybody.! I haven't been here for a long time. I've been seriously slacking on mixing. Picked up some new supplies now and going to start doing it again. I had a rough couple months and now trying to get back on track. I tried some white chocolate in the PST and it came out really good but that's about it. It will take a bit to get back into the groove.

Hey , Skunk, you've been missed. Happy to see you back and sorry for the rough times We're here to help and there's a bunch of recipes in Zazies blog. All the recipes in this thread in one place.

Very much. I always liked fire cured tobacco vapes. It's a deep, rich, smoky, robust flavor. But I have to say it isn't for everyone. I don't care for it as an EDV myself. It's too much. Alone, I would enjoy it after a big meal for an hour or so...on occasions. And I would enjoy the crap out of it. But I believe I can tweak it to be more durable and is why I am experimenting with it by adding small amounts of banana or apricot to take the edge off of it. Success in this area remains to be seen but I've had fired cured vapes with a touch of banana in it and it worked out great. Sadly, that flavor was discontinued from the vendor (along with a bunch others) and I lost a major flavor in my rotation.

If your so sure that's good I'm going to put 30ml on my wishlist.

Couple of questions;
Anyone ever tried adding TFA Cotton Candy (EM) to an existing mixture ? How long does it take to balance out the flavor ? Shake-n-vape ? Couple hours ? Couple days ?
And, I need to replenish syringes and needles. Any vendor good for small orders of DIY gear ?

If you don't find what you need, send me a pm. I can send you some. I hardly ever use syringes any more.

OK, I do like this recipe and I don't see that changing for the worse with more steeping so I'll post it. There are actually 3 flavors with the NET.

Honduran Rhuberry
Stixx Honduran Ligero 8%
INW Shisha Strawberry 1%
TFA Ripe Strawberry 1%
INW Rhubarb 1%

Enjoy.

I will definitely come back to this one. I'm not sold on my 8 day Honduran Strawberry yet. I'm using TFA Ripe Strawberry and Juicy Strawberry (FA). Jury is still out though so I don't want to condemn mine to the dust bin just yet. If it doesn't age out as I hope then I will be tweaking it. Either go with Havana Primed in place of the Ligero or add the rhubarb (that I don't have).

Question: What does the Shisha Strawberry taste like relative to the Ripe Strawberry?

I haven't vaped the blend yet, Fran. And I hate to speak for your taste buds. Perhaps a smaller bottle to start?

I'm taking a new route with my chocolate NET ADV project. I'm abandoning the Double Chocolate Clear as a major ingredient (might use it as a minor flavor shaper) and replacing it with another chocolate as the main attraction. I made two chocolate NETs using Havana Primed as the base and am trying Chocolate Chunks in one and Glamour Chocolate in the other. Early results are telling me I like the Chocolate Chunks more than the Glamour. But it's possible some combination of these two might make it better. More experimenting...

Thanks I have got a lot of work to do but one step at a time. That is super convenient! That must have takrn a long time to put together. Thanks @Zazie

That’s the graham I have too. The graham crust one sounds like it might be cakier.

Graham crust has extra butter flavor... plain graham is very dry and plain but that's good to add to mixes that already have everything else just need a little extra something without sweetness or buttery flavors. I don't like overly sweet so use a lot.

You can just click on the letter B in front of Zazies user name to access the blog. Not sure if there's a better way anymore.

What is the Graham you consider dry?

Awesome! Thanks

I tried this recipe out yesterday and it was very tasty.

Dang... I thought you had a good pork chop juice flavor... had given up on Bacon for a special recipe (was hoping you had the magic solution)

 

[vaper1960]

What is the Graham you consider dry?

TFA Graham Cracker clear... it's very plain but that's why I use it.

Yup, same as me. I don't do too sweet well at all.

Don Juan Reserve Clone V12

That is the exact recipe I'm trying to do (with the addition of Bacon and Bourbon) Yes, I know... give up on the bacon LOL

Yes, River Supply (Nic Riv) low shipping on small orders. just ordered a few flavors and syringes/blunt needles... $11 total.

I was going to try that but reviews said it's a major "coil killer"...ended up ordering FA cocoa (actually wanted HS australian chocolate but couldn't find it) If you want really dark, I heat VT dark chocolate is good.

The VT Dark Chocolate is a very authentic dark chocolate to me. Great for any lovers of dark chocolate.

Going by your review so far and the reviews on the Stixx site almost guarantee I will like it.
