Not a scientific article but this guy did study the science behind tasting fizzy before experimenting. It is interesting if nothing else.

Same as vaping. Too much power, bad mod, bad ingredients.
Worked next to a pipe shop and saw her complain about a customer who burnt through pipe after free replacement expensive pipe (too much power) and of course always blamed the pipe. Then there are some drug store pipes I could never get to work right (bad mod), of course buying 5 $5 pipes to get one that smokes wasn't a bad deal. I think the tobaccos you were going after to recreate those smells have changed (bad ingredients), there is no way my dad or uncle smoked the same cherry I tried. Yes it smelled good but was like pouring caustic cleaner in your mouth.
I recall a lot of talk on pipe smoking forums about how bad that tobacco was and how did the old timers smoke it. One conclusion I recall helping was to dry it out, but with the new addition of PG that was no easy task.
Probably a week.
I want to try a ginger ale flavor and have read good things about Real Flavors Ginger Ale. RF did a great job with the effervescence in their Soda Base, so maybe they nailed it in their Ginger Ale too. Has anyone tried it? It is rather hard to find.
Mixing day at the lake! It's overcast with comfortable temperatures so I made a small dent in my want to try list. I told the DH I was in vacation mode -- the mixes were dominated by boozy flavors! 
I made a stand alone test of ginger peach and decided to go ahead and make Fizzy Rum with ginger peach instead of ginger ale, FA champagne and WS-23 instead of Koolada. We'll see how this comes along. Then I mixed up a few of my regulars and black pepper ice cream to round it all out.

Please let me know how this turns out......Mixing day at the lake! It's overcast with comfortable temperatures so I made a small dent in my want to try list. I told the DH I was in vacation mode -- the mixes were dominated by boozy flavors!

I have so many flavors that I will probably never use but of course, the one I must have thrown out rather than unpacked was FA Ceylon Cinnamon. It had never been opened and was bought just to make Chai Masala. Cool here today so I decided to mix it up and the cinnamon is nowhere to be found. Why, oh why, couldn't it have been the VTA Blood Orange Champagne? 
Man so I added a bunch of gin to my "accidental tonic" mix, and it's only been steeping a day or two, but seriously this is the closest I have gotten to "G&T for several decades honestly. It's really good and I'm glad I wrote it down too, because "Lemon Rhubarb tart" does not seem like a GOOD starting point for like, tonic water, but it worked.
I mixed 4 20 ml batches of various boozy flavors, I'm hoping they come out well and well, I have ALL my flavors organized, fixed (those that needed fixing) but I'm STILL not going to be able to vape them all this year, I don't think. LOL, the lowest I could bring myself to go was 20 ml, but what with my premixed base, and some snuff in my mouth, it was leisurely, mindful almost. Okay maybe that's the snuff talking, too, but it really makes life SO much easier. I have high hopes for my boozy mixes, including gingerale and brandy which my parents drank after work and etc., and they made me mix it so of course I drank some, it's a beloved combo.
I thought that this was the closest my parents were gonna get to alcoholism, but then my dad sort of surprised me with it during his midlife crisis.
LOL only fair, since I surprised THEM with it during my teen years.

So I went to mix @FranC ’s Fizzy Rum but adapted to add pineapple and coconut. I’d planned to mix one subbing the TFA Ginger Ale with FW’s and a v2 subbing the ginger ale with VTA Creaming Soda & FLV Ginger Peach. I mixed the later, no issues. Got the flavors out to mix v1 but couldn’t find FW Ginger Ale anywhere! I assumed it’d gotten put back up into the wrong spot at some point. I had to look through almost all my flavors (which is a lot) before I found... not FW GA but TFA GA, the one I thought I didn’t have. I guess some how I saved it online wrong in my flavor stash
At least now I know and I was able to make one using it, as intended

Oh yeah, I remember you mentioning your apricot brandy. I never mixed that one up. I’ll have to see if I can’t find it and add it to my list... again
I was about to say it actually has good uses but see others already have. I initially purchased it for cereal type vapes but now I also use it in several other instances

Thanks! I’ll adjust accordingly
I think I just figured all my chocolates needed a week. Since before the MTS it's been seed steeping. It may be OK earlier.
