Random DIY mixing and More

I actually want to know if TFA is better because I have the FA.

So today I get in the drawer section with my well steeped juices and pick out a bottle of Grapefruit Rum. Really didn't remember mixing it but that's ok. For the first few vapes it wasn't bad and then it processed to get sweeter and sweeter.I've got to fish out the recipe and see if I can do anything with it but for now I've switched to my Boozy Tea.

I dripped a little bit of the white chocolate cheesecake with smoked butterscotch today and all I could taste was the butterscotch. It's only been a week so I'm going to try it again in another week.

Tomorrow I’ll plot out my chef’s order. One shots looked yummy, but they make 500ml for 22£? Did I miss something? Lemons and boozes are top of the list so far...

Is that a lot for one shots? I think I’d like to try a couple. I bought some from someplace but so far only 2 were decent.

I was going through one of my flavor cases trying to get a list and map made. I found several I never opened. I have no idea why I bought tfa dairy milk.

A favorite of the better half...

Milk Plus - A slightly modified version of DIYorDie's re-mix...
Dairy Milk (TFA) 4%
Salted Caramel (FW) 3.5%
Caramel Candy (TFA) 3%
Sweetener (TFA) 1%

Think I’m going to mix a few testers all the same way except for the tobaccos and maybe I’ll do one odd one with marshmallow, just for comparison. Right or wrong, there has to be something to be learned from doing so.

Sounds like a good plan. And, who knows; marshmallow may end up being your "golden ticket" for tobaccos.

Do we know why this is or whats the culprit?

I have not come across a specific cause. That doesn't mean someone else doesn't know... it just isn't me.

Thanks for all of your advice and direction! It’s greatly appreciated

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.

Nice! I’ll check it a few times along the way then. TY

One point you mentioned really has me doubting marshmallow being an ideal addition to tobacco vapes... Not your exact words but basically, tobacco vapes are sometimes dryer and a bit of a wet or juicy flavor is needed. Being that marshmallow can often be perceived as dryer &/or has drying affects, sometimes to the point of a powdery dryness... Doesn’t seem to me they’d compliment one another very well. Sure flavor(s) can be added to aid these affects, though I think perhaps it’d be a good idea to avoid this issue until I get a handle on mixing with tobaccos first. So, for now, I’ll omit the marshmallow

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

Interesting read! Have you by chance mixed Concrete River’s Terrorhawk? Thanks for sharing this

Question for another nutty person. What's a better Pistachio,FA or TFA?

FA, hands down!

 

[NatashaTMT]

I actually want to know if TFA is better because I have the FA.

IMO, TFA is much weaker and doesn’t come close to touching FA’s. FA’s can get a bit biter if you use too much though. It’s reminiscent of pistachio’s peel to me. I sorta like this aspect of it which makes it more natural for me personally. Over 1% you’ll start tasting the mild bitterness a bit. I like using it around 1.5% usually but pistachio forward vapes I sometimes push it to 2%, which might be a bit much for some mixers. I just remembered that you have FA's. So you likely already know this. Where do you like to use it?

I haven’t tried my 1 shots from Chef’s yet but I recently tried Gremlin’s Dryad and oh my is it delicious all by itself as a S&V... Well, I gave it a 24 hr steep before trying it. Had planed on steeping for 3 days but my 30ml didn’t make it that long. I don’t typically have trouble waiting but it was already good and SO tasty! It’s a butter pecan ice cream vape. If you like that type of ice cream &/or vape profile, you’ll love it. It’s simply rich and delicious!

Looks simply tasty How long do you usually age this one?

Oh,good. That's the one I have.

Tobaccos mostly

I phrased that wrong. At what percentage(s) do you prefer to use it?

I use a Badger mixer for 30 seconds in a 60ml & allow 3 - 4+ weeks. It may be ready sooner, but that seems to be where she likes it...

I use a Badger also and love it! I love these simple tasty mixes. TY

Glad to know I’m not the only one pushing it’s limitations
