    I’ve tried some Nets and different tobacco juices and none of them tasted like real tobacco. The closest I’ve had was some pipe tobacco juices that a friend won and sent me samples of.
    Yes I agree. The tobacco flavors are just that...another flavor. Has nothing to do with the real thing.

    I LOVE FLV Basil with pineapple. It is a perfect match. For my next experiment, once I get to Seattle and have my mixing gear, I want to mix something with strawberries and basil. I am not a really that much for strawberry vapes but am intrigued enough to give that a try.

    Have you tried adding a couple drops of road tar and steeping your liquids in dirty socks for a week before wringing it out?:D

    I have no desire for tobacco but people rave about Inawera's, I guess it includes an ashtray taste. They even sell it separate, Inawera Dirty base

    Pineapple is one of those flavors that I don't care to vape,like lime. I used to like it but no more. I'm not real big on Strawberry anymore either but I can still vape it as long as it's not a real upfront taste.

    I got the INW DNB out of curiosity. Adds a smoky taste to tobaccos,don't know about the ashtray. Had to try it though. I have one mix with it that I'm steeping.

    I could see where either would be desired by a smoker or recently former smoker but they're the last things I want.
    Ashtray mouth is what keeps me from lighting up a pipe full of the 4lbs of pipe tobacco I have.

    I have Honeydew on my wishlist and I'm considering a cantaloupe. All I have is a wee bottle of TFA Cantaloupe. I've never tried the Honeydew at all.
    Honeydew is pretty sweet across the brands, just like the actual fruit.

    I'm a happy camper this morning. Tried my fa pom tester and it's still tart. Not quite sure if it's AS tart as it was fresh so I've put it back to steep. Plus the pink guava is very good and has gained a touch more tartness. Putting that away for more steep also.

    There aren't many fruits that I care to vape solo. Actually there aren't any,anymore. However,I'm going to vape the little bit of Guava I tanked. Tasty stuff.

    I get straight up grapefruit from FLV Pink Guava and don't care for the tartness myself.

    Since you like tart so much you may really like INW Pink Panther. That stuff is very strong and very tart, no matter how much sweetener I add. It's a red currant flavor with a bit of rhubarb and even less strawberry (there's supposedly strawberry, but I can't get past the tart red currants). I use it but only at around 0.15% otherwise it completely takes over my mix.

    Well,thank you.:) I had never heard of that one but BCF has it and it jumped onto my wishlist.

    I'm not getting a lot of tartness from the Pink Guava. It's more just not sweet. It had more sweetness when it was fresh to me.

    I don't find the Pink Guava overly tart either but it's a bit too grapefruity for me. I do have a recipe I'm using it in with FW Pink Champagne and I'm liking more and more as the week goes along.
