    Looks like you already ordered. :)

    You might like that black cavendish. That's a fairly popular flavor among NETers especially those who have not vaped a lot of NETs. They can, however, vary quite a bit. The cherry cavendish might be good too if you liked Pop's Decatur Black Cherry. The American Virgiia will be grassy sweet. Many people like Virginia. I'm not one of them but I only count as one. :)


    Burley is a bit on the sweet side (as straight up tobacco goes). If you don't care for it straight up I think you could use it up in a fruit blend. I have The Supreme and I liked it. It's a standalone NET for me and has a nice tobacco flavor. A hint of spice like an oriental which tend to be one of my favorite standalone NETs. Wish I had more opportunity to vape it. In time. :)

    I did very much like Pop's black cherry he sent. That's what made me think to order the cherry cavendish.

    Is everyone busy mixing tonight? I picked up a couple Kanger top tanks and coils on clearance. I had used Subtank minis before but hadn’t tried these. I loaded one with some black cherry net and it’s pretty good flavor production.

    I mixed earlier in the day. Tomorrow I test my Caramel Apple Tobacco stuff. Iteration#s 3 and 4. Struggling with the apple. Did a bunch of apple sfts so hoping I get better results.

    I havent used Kanger stuff in years.

    Nope. I added some Light Fire and then checked out.

    Wish I could help with the apple but I've never been able to taste it in a vape.

    Nice, thanks Mel! I was due to order anyway, so this was perfect timing. Just ordered a bunch of my favorite American Virginian, and threw in some Aged Burly and Dark fire.

    Popping in on this thread prompted my to mix some of my A+ I've ignored for a while. It's a really good one too, so I've been keeping setups with it and my AV to alternate.

    Have any of you Stixx Mixers tried their Kona Coffee? I have long been tempted to try it but have a feeling it would go the way of other experiments like tea, etc. Just because I like to eat it or drink it doesn't mean I will enjoy vaping it. Still, opinions on the Stixx Mix coffee would be appreciated.

    I broke down and bought the Purilum Butter Mint. I resisted and resisted but finally, my willpower just couldn't hold back my curiosity. An sft gave me a nice authentic mint with the texture of a soft dessert mint but without any sweetness, which was surprising. I tried several combinations before landing on this, which to my taste, is perfect. I am so glad I gave in to temptation. If you are a mint fan, give this a try. I am really enjoying it!

    Creamy Pillow Mint
    Butter Mint (Purilum) 3%
    Cream (Flavorah) 1%
    Cream Fresh (Panna Fresca) (FA) 1%
    Holy Vanilla (DIYFS) 1.5%
    Marshmallow (FA) 1%
    Super Sweet (CAP) .5% (Optional as you get some sweetness from both the Vanilla and the Marshmallow)
    WS-23 30% .75% (Optional or to taste)

    Substitutions: I chose FLV Cream as the "heavy" cream in this recipe but I think your favorite heavy cream would work just as well - VTA Sweet Cream, any Bavarian Cream, Devon Cream (CCW, CC, VTA), whatever your favorite might be. You could probably also double up on the Cream Fresh and not notice a huge difference.

    I love Holy Vanilla but know that not everyone has it. My second choice would INW Shisha Vanilla.

    I remixed this using 3.5% Butter Mint, reduced the WS-23 to .5%, and left out the sweetener. FLV Cream is rather sweet to me. Most heavy creams have a sweetness about them. My suggestion is to mix this without sweetener and add it in if you need the additional sweetness.

    I gave a couple of the coffees a look, and almost threw one in the cart, because SM's pricing really, is insanely cheap for well made flavoring. But I never get very far with anything non-tobacco. Seems like a good coffee would be a great compliment to a good tobacco, though.

    Agree but I don't do tobaccos, so there is that.

    Apple always sounds good to me but I’ve never been able to stand it as a primary flavor in a vape.

    I hadn’t used any Kanger stuff in a long time either but found the Clapton coils for 50 cents a five pack and still have a couple Subtank minis. I grabbed the top tanks for back ups so I can be sure to use up the 100 coils I got for $10.

    I thought about trying it but both teas I tried were not good at all.

    I like my mini subs.

    You seem to be trying a lot of stuff. Do you vape it all up regardless, or is it making your nic stash dwindle?
    No, I wont guilt vape. If I don’t like it I wont vape it. I make 5 ml test samples. Anything less and the flavor amounts are too small. If it tastes like dog food I’ll chuck it right away. If it’s decent I’ll vape most or all. But in most cases I’ll vape 2ish mls, take notes, and write the recipe for the next iteration. I do it right away while the information is still coursing through my lungs and nostrils.

    Apple always sounds good to me but I’ve never been able to stand it as a primary flavor in a vape.

    I don’t care for apple as a primary flavor either. As a component it’s fits well in this recipe...if I can just find the right one.
