My coolfire just came! It’s so small and light. I definitely want more for the stash.

Are you talking about the new Coolfire Z80 w/Zenith II tank? If yes...you ought to enter the Giveaway contest for a kit, too. You never know.....you might win one. :thumbs:

I picked up my coffee habit in the army. I had CQ duty pretty often in the headquarters building. That meant lots of coffee all night long. That was not gourmet stuff. Hence just plain old generic coffee is good enough for me ............guess you could say quantity not quality !:rolleyes:
As long as it's not unleaded, I'm pretty much good to go. Leaded only for me.

I used to take my Father-In-Law to our local VA and remember getting the rot gut they had from the machine. It smelled like road tar and tasted god awful. I managed. My FIL thought it was good stuff. He loved his Spam too. And being of Ukranian heritage also thought ethnic blood soup was to die for. I nearly died and almost upchucked the first time I smelled it. Talk about gross. :D

And if the spoon doesn't stand up on it, it's not strong enough :)

4%, which I probably got from you lol. I don’t have FA, so I used FW graham cracker at 2%.( Time will tell if that’s an oops or not.) WF marshmallow gooey at 2%. I don’t want chocolate front and center. I may give it a try in a bit (since you did :eek:) before it goes back to steep.

I got 5 new testers in the box yesterday. Until I figure out where I put my empty bottles, I’m at a standstill.
You didn't get 4% from me. I haven't gone over 2.5% with S'mores. I think 2-3% is it's happy place as a main note. That's as far as I would take it. So far FA Graham is the best and most realistic tasting graham, for me anywho. I don't get any cinnamon note from it, which I prefer.

    I was in the 20’s before I became addicted, salmon fishing in northern Norway.
    Loved the scenery, the mosquitoes I never fell in love with.

    I did, but I never win any of those contests. I’ll get another either way. I really like the size and weight. I’d like several of the new tank, if I can find them at a decent price down the road.

    That sounds just like my dad! When I got married and moved to Louisiana, he “discovered” dark roast with chickory and fell in love… definitely a spoon stander lol.

    Well, then I have nooo idea where that random % came from :blink:. I’m testing it right now in the new zenith. Definitely needs a steep. I’m getting an odd coconut on the back end. Must be the graham. For someone who loves cheesecake vapes, I’m pitifully short on graham choices. I’ll have to add FA to my next order.

    Katya isn't on the forum much anymore.


    Already know that - that's the reason for the post . . . ;)

    Of those who are missing - She is honestly missed . . . :(

    Hope she will pop-in every now and then . . . :D

    Has anyone tried any of the clone recipes on Jean Cloud? The % on this one is insane, but I might try and adjust it all. Do y’all think I could just flat cut the %, or will I need to adjust each flavor individually?

    Good heavens :eek:, 21.1% is an insane amount of flavoring. o_O

    I ran it through ELR, matching the #'s from your screenshot, and here is what I got for 10mls.

    Screen shot 2021-06-16 at 12.58.53 PM.png


    If I was making that all the %'s would get cut in half, maybe more, in a heartbeat.

    I would lose the Super Sweet and go with FLV Sweetness 0.25%. IMO it's superior to CAP SS and doesn't gunk up coils. Although, looking at those flavors I wouldn't add any sweetener at all. The other flavors will lend their own sweetness to the mix. Sweetener would make it, yuck and gross IMO, just say no...my :2c:.


    Cutting the flavors in 1/2 would give you a more reasonable 10%. I also removed super sweet and added FLV Sweetness 0.25%. Here is the adjusted recipe for the not insane. :lol:

    Screen shot 2021-06-16 at 1.16.16 PM.png



    Good luck Mel. :D


    ETA: I haven't used Cereal 27 in a long time. I would likely lower that to maybe 4%, to start with.

    I’ve never used Cereal 27 above 3%.

    I was wondering if I was looking at that recipe correctly. I thought it said 13% on the cereal but thought surely not.

    Just for giggles, I reworked the recipe. This is would be my starting point. Note the subbed flavors.

    CAP Cereal 27 3%-4%
    FA Milk 0.75%-1%
    TPA VBIC 0.5%
    TPA Malted Milk 0.5%
    TPA Kettle Corn 0.5%
    FA Marshmallow 0.5%-0.75%

    Wouldn't need any sweetener. Those flavors have enough sweetness in them.

    :2c:

    Did you get that Boxx pv you ordered? I took a look at those and don’t see the attraction. I don’t like those low fire buttons.

    I have Cap Cereal but I haven't got around to using it yet. I remember seeing some Golden Grahams type recipe that looked good. I might try to find the recipe and mix some up.

    Ty! I would’ve skipped sweetner probably. Malted milk looked gross high on top of waaaay too much cereal 27. Do you think the marshmallow was muting at the original %? Maybe I’m not understanding the interplay between flavors, but none of the %s looked in balance.
