Yes I would say so and it's more than a bit sweet to me.
Fran,
The sweet will dim or may even steep out. I think its the raisin trying to show up. It needs more steep time. By the time my 2% was ready to vape, sweet was not present but sort of more blended in, if that makes sense. It helps to tame the wheat flavor a bit.

I have mixed a couple of the recipes that were listed here last week, I think it was and they used way less flavoring than I did so I am expecting good results.

:)

    I taste tested every few days when I mixed mine bc I didn't know how long for steep time. It def went thru a few different stages of taste.

    They are kind of a reinvention of 2011 vape tech. The aspire Nauti AIO uses Nautilus coils. The Orion has a disposable tank that can last from 2 weeks to a month depending on the juice. Refillable ones are a much much better version of my first setup (evod on an eGoT) disposable ones are a better version of the old cig-a-likes. I never messed with cig a likes or juuls. Too expensive for my blood.

    Nicotine salts are just a ph balanced form of nic base. It can be used the same as regular freebase. The calculations are the same. I remember how harsh 18mg was when I was starting out. Almost turned me off from vaping. It took a lot of willpower to stick with it. The same 18mg with salts has almost no TH. I never liked TH so it is a great thing for me.
    Squid has a pod system coming out in a couple months (orion look in style) with adjustable wattage. $40 or less. I’m waiting on that one. The nautilus aio is ok. I bought one to use up a bunch of coils I had. It’s good for an evening purse/discreet pocket mod though.

    You did granola at 2% then? I know fig at 2-3 weeks is sweet strong, by 4-6 weeks it’s figgy.

    Yes I did 2%. Mine was strong, but more of the wheat flavoring than the others. Sweet is not something I would use to describe this flavoring at least to me. I got no sweet in the end. And didn't get any 'fig' flavor. You may be noticing the raisin?? Did you use 2%?

    :)

    eta I also wanted to add I vaped this flavor for about a week and a half and it just kept getting stronger so I had to put it away. 2% is def way too much for me.

    Be sure to share the recipe if/when you want. Sounds interesting.

    :)
    I have no problem sharing. Just want to make sure I like it enough to share. Someone posted a recipe using FW Butter Pecan and I mixed it and didn't like it. I kept vaping it for awhile and the Butter Pecan kinda grew on me. So here it is.Kinda an odd recipe but it's decent.

    Butter Biscuit
    FW Butter Pecan 2%
    INW Biscuit .5%
    FA Cookie 3%
    Cap Sugar Cookie 3%
    FA Fresh Cream 1%

    Thank you. I am a little surprised to see Sugar Cookie in your recipes. LOL There was a time if the title had the word sugar or sweet you wouldn't even think to try it. Good for you, expanding your horizons.

    I haven’t tried the granola yet. Sorry to confuse you. I was comparing raisin to fig (thinking two dried fruits). I don’t know why you can’t read my mind :rolleyes:

    Someone said it wasn't that sweet so I had to try it. The mix isn't overly sweet but if I do remix I will drop the Sugar Cookie to 2%

    Sorry mind reading is not among my list of current skills, needs work to accomplish that and I am retired. LOL I was a little perplexed tho when you said it tasted figgy, couldn't figure out where that came from.

    Size comparison with the Pulse. The blue scallop is very purdy. It is iridescent which the picture doesn't pick up.

    I've been thinking about getting one of those. It bothers me that the unit doesn't come with a pod to get you started. The blue is the project sub ohm one isn't it?
