In your nightmares
I don't have my order yet but that's what I'm going to do. Have you tried the Bourbon?
Not a big fan of bourbon or whiskey, flv's bourbon is really strong be careful with it lol I think I did 1 drop to 10ml holy crap lol 1 drop to 15 or 20 is where I have to be at with it lol I do not have any recipes for it maybe try with a cola type flavor.

@FranC - About this: "That's basically why I don't live there."

Well, it certainly hasn't stopped millions of other northerners from moving down here. We'd be glad to send some/most of them back to you, if you want them. :D
Hey,
I resemble that remark. lol

Actually JC it is cooler in Fla than in WV the past couple of days. Not by much tho. We hit the 100 degree mark in the past couple of days and all next week will be in the upper 90's. Pretty much the same in FL.

:)

1st runs

Pornegranate
Pomegranate (FA) 4%
Liquid Amber (FA) 1%
Catalan Cream (FA) 1%

Smokey Amber Plum
Plum (INW) 3%
Smoked Plum (INW) 2%
Liquid Amber (FA) 1%

Tiramisu
Tiramisu (INW) 4%
Catalan Cream (FA) 2%
Cinnamon Shisha (INW) 1%

Refill
Orange Tootsie

Tackle box organization worked well.

I think Amber and the Smoked Plum will work well together. The smell was intriguing.
A little later than my 2nd cup of coffee but I had a tackle box to modify and arrange.

OK,question. What am I going to do with the Fresh fig I have coming?? I had no good reason to buy it except it sounded good.
To me, it gives a rich,warm depth to the fruits. Sort of like a raisin maybe? I don’t eat figs or fig newtons, so I’m guessing it’s not true to life. I use it as a background flavor. I would imagine it would play nice with tobaccos and custards too

@PJReid Pam,When you mixed your Cranberry Gin and Tonic with the FLV Cranberry what % did you use?

2% FLV Cranberry
.25% Liquid Amber

I gave it a sniff tonight and it still smells like a wet hole after a lot of rain. Testing it will take some courage.

Has anyone tried the FLV Eisia Tea? Can't find a lot on mixing %.
Let me know what you find out. I looked at a few recipes, most used .2 to .75%. The highest percentage was in a recipe by Smokey Blue at 1%, but the rest he used less. By description it sounds mild. I’m guessing a sft is the answer

Pornegranate smells like it might need more Amber.

It is a Cranberry Gin and Tonic made with the vile smelling FLV Cranberry. Amber smells vile too so I went with the lowest amount recommended on Reddit for mellowing out the FLV Cranberry. This stuff smells a lot worse than any solvent I use in cleaning. :eek: It needs another few days steeping but I am definitely not holding out much hope. LOL

I like Amber as a 5% stand alone so I would've been thinking overpower rather than mellow:lol:

I didn't think about it when I made the recipe but Amber and Catalan. Bow chika wow wow.

I was having a bad eye day when everyone was talking Pom and I kept seeing rn instead.

I LOVE Pom - that and cranberry (NOT FLV) have become my new favorite flavors. I mentioned that to my husband last night and said I found it surprising. He said it sounded right up my alley. Guess the man knows me well. :wub:

How would you folks describe the taste of Forest Fruit?
I'm another that would describe it as a dark berry blend . I find possible notes of blackberry, boysenberry, blueberry, black currant, and raspberry. It (to me) doesn't display all of them all the time, and they seem pretty evenly balanced (not one dominating the others). vaping it as a stand-alone, I think I detect one berry during one puff, and then another berry becomes recognizable during another puff. It is this even balance, that allows a berry to become dominant, simply by adding 1-3% of a single berry concentrate to a base (3-4%) of Forest Berry. :)
Can someone please recall the strawberry stone? 4% ripe + 3% sweet?
That sounds like the classic strawberry pairing that Wayne Walker (DIYorDie) speaks of. he cites a blend of:
2% CAP Sweet Strawberry
3% TFA Strawberry Ripe

Here is a link to one of his mentions. Scroll to the bottom of his flavor notes to see his description. :)

Did you see his Voopoo video?
I did not. He tends to ramble a bit much for me (in his videos & pod casts; I much prefer his writing) and I am more of a nuts and bolts kind of guy. I've also been trying to dodge the hardware discussions for the most part; as my actual need, as well as my budget, is not too supportive of new purchases right now. Was it a good one?
