I need your opinions plz.
I'm busy making some hybrid tobacco mixes. I need a sweetner. Not the ordinary sweetner..something with a bit of a flavor. My head is stuck on marshmallow...? If you agree...Which is a good one? Also what else can you suggest plz?
The mix i'm busy with now is a NET....Trout Stream tobacco (it has some caramel tones) and Pistachio. It's yummy as is, but I think something sweet will bump it up.
Have you thought about using both a vanilla and a cream in your Trout Stream tobacco with caramel notes and pistachio? Creams and vanillas work well with caramel and pistachio.

A marshmallow would give you sweetness and added mouthfeel.

FA Marshmallow (my favorite marshmallow)
FLV Marshmallow
FLV Marshmallow Vanilla (regular marshmallow + an added vanilla note)


One of several creams would give you some sweetness + mouthfeel.

FLV Cream (one of my favorites)
SSA Sweet Cream
FLV Sweet Cream
WF Bavarian Cream
VTA Vanilla Cream (a favorite)
FA Vienna Cream
INW Vanilla Cream (a favorite)
WF Vanilla Cream Extra (a favorite)

If you want even more of a sweeter creamy flavor than those:
WF Butter Cream Frosting
VTA Vanilla Buttercream Frosting
WF Cream Filling
WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream (has light almond + cherry notes)


One of these vanillas would give you some sweetness.

INW Shisha Vanilla is a sweeter vanilla, brighter as well
SSA Borneo Vanilla bright and has some sweetness
FA Tahity Vanilla sweeter vanilla with more prominent almond + cherry notes

There are more. Those are the only ones I could think of ATM. I use and like all of the above.

    I’m not sure marshmallow would add flavor but it will thicken the mouth feel.

    Got my package from Vape Sourcing today. One regular Solo and two Solo 2's. Not much difference except the Solo 2 has metal on the sides instead of the rubberized finish, just the bottom and part of the top has rubber. Plus it has a color screen. A few other minor changes. Given a choice I would stick with the original, I like the grippy rubber finish. It's my first color screen. That bugs me a bit. A mod doesn't need a color screen and it's one more bit of tech that can go wrong. Mind you, I still have a record deck. Came by USPS.
    I agree with you and am no fan of color screens on mods. Mod's don't need them. Color screens consume more battery juice. Juice that could otherwise go vaping. I don't have any of the new Solo's but also like the rubber finish on the OG's.

    I also still listen to LP's and have a fairly large record collection. Same with CD's. I have converted much to FLAC (lossless).

    I got the new Centaurus set up with the Helheim rdta with squonk pin installed. Such a great set up.

    I mixed your blackberry recipe tonight Fran. I almost never do this but mixed 40ml before trying it.

    Still watching Yellowstone and still don't get it.
    I watched a couple episodes, and yawn, was pretty bored with it. Yellowstone is kind of like the old Dallas. Costner's character is like J.R. Ewing (Larry Hagman). :D

    I was going to mention today how much I’m still enjoying that mix in my Kumo. It’s very smooth and tasty. I hope you like it.

    I've been working on the same thing. Here's my latest and greatest:

    7% Turkish Tobacco
    2% Caramel
    1% Honey
    1.5% vanilla
    1% Super Sweet
    83% VG
    I call it Sweet Tobacco. It's thick and yummy.

    Agreed. Too bad mi esposa had to pay AppleTV for the fourth season after we subscribed to Peacock for the first three less than a month ago. The plot holes and lack of logic, jeez. :|

    Did I already say The Righteous Gemstones makes more sense?

    Just watched Assault on Precinct 13. Pretty good show. On Peacock+
    Is that the 2005 movie with Laurence Fishburne and Ethan Hawke? I've been meaning to watch original the 1976 John Carpenter Film.

    Thanks J. Haven't yet thought of cream. That would suit me fine. I tried a few mixes with vanilla custard. Not bad, but not fantastic either. I need to put more effort into experimenting with the hybrids. Up to now i've been stuck on NETs only.
    I see I have some Lorannce Bavarian Cream. I added some (2%) to the above mix..will see. It should round it off better.
    I saved your list and will do some thinking...thanks.
    I'll probably be back ;)

    Nice. Yeah that should be sweet and yummy. I suppose at 1% honey it's not that noticable...?
    I have a terrible sweet tooth so i'm going to try this...i'll have to use another tobacco though.
