    The mascarpone/red date/pistachio/orange/pomegranate is quite good to me. Just hit a month old. I’m going to remix when I get home and drop the orange a bit and raise the mascarpone (I was very conservative on %). Good as is, a tweek could make it yummier
    What % did you use?

    I wish I could do tobaccos. I loved the way my uncle’s pipe tobacco smelled. Unfortunately, it always as a vape tastes like wet tobacco leaves irl
    I haven't vaped a straight tobacco vape for over 7 years other than a taste here and there. I did love my many tobacco DIY blends but more recently I've lost my taste for them. Thank goodness for my new cookie,biscuit etc ...........

    It is on my short-list too. The descriptions of fried dough, and baked puff pastry, are just too much for me to resist!:rolleyes::D

    My single flavor tobacco go-to, is Inawera Am4a. It reminds me of the way my grandfather's pipe tobacco pouch used to smell. Amphora is a brand of pipe tobacco, and is what the INW Am4a is supposed to be modeled after. While I am a unfamiliar with Amphora; I do think Am4a is one of the best "pipe" concentrates I have come across.

    It is fairly potent. I find 3.5% to be my sweet spot. With just a short 3 day rest, it is good to go. I do tend to prefer this one fresher. So, I keep my batches smaller. After it reaches two weeks old; it loses some of the brighter/"fresher" notes, and becomes more "ordinary." Other tobacco aficionados like this one well aged. If you decide to experiment with this one; be sure to do some test vaping, over the course of a month to find you own sweet spot.:)
    I love AM4A but didnt mention it because it was supposedly reformulated it and I have not tried the newer version. Ive heard everything from "its the same" to "its terrible now". Im not even sure it was re-done to be honest. Just going by what Ive read. I still have about 3oz of a bottle from a year or so ago. What do you think of newer batches? I would actually trust your opinion.

    I was the same until a few months ago when a friend sent me some of the shisha apple leaf and 2 flavor banger I posted earlier. I was used to the older tobacco's that tasted like cardboard and were just awful. To be honest, I really like the more pipe tob and desert style.

    Does everyone mix the Vanilla Milkshake Base as is or does anyone add fruit to it? I got the FLV Milk & Honey to mix the Vanilla Milkshake Base.

    I always add the fruit of my choice to that mix. Usually strawberry or blueberry but I think any fruit would work though. :)

    They don't taste bad to me. My tastebuds just tired of them I guess.

    I totally understand. I got that way on strawberry. Just didnt want to even smell it. Seemed for a while everybody that ask for a recipe wanted SB something.

    I don't have any tobacco flavors and I should for the husband, but I think he doesn't like my mixes. He called a recent one "vomit" and although it wasn't my best offering.... It doesn't make me want to mix up a bunch of tobaccos for him that I purchase myself, exactly.

    I will probably never like tobaccos to be honest,, no matter how good they are. I really have had like, enough of that taste for the rest of my life.

    I don't do great with flavor sales I end up getting stuff I don't need. For whatever reason, I feel content with my 150 plus flavors for now. Guess it is because I am doing much less mixing...

    I did the same. I was thinking peach or strawberry, my two favs irl. I’m open to better suggestions!

    I first decided on .4 but changed mind to .5 for most mixes.
    I think I went with .6%, which is about 2 on the syringe. I have a feeling this mix may be one of those that takes longer to reach its max potential. It’s just now at a month

    Could be.
