Care to share?

So I recently realized I have four flavor concentrates that are all prefixed Pink.
And I wondered.... what would happen if I mixed all of these together???

Psychedelic Pink
FW Pink Champagne 4.00%
FLV Pink Guava 0.25%
INW Pink Panther 0.15%
MB Pink Lady 2.75%
CAP Super Sweet 0.25%
The result was a light fruity very-perfect-for-summer vape!

Flavor Notes:

Flavor West Pink Champagne: a sweet light fruity champagne flavour, very much like its real life counterpart. At 4% it's doing a lot of the heavy lifting in this recipe and that's what I was aiming for. It's such a great flavor to add fruits to I figured it should stand mostly in the forefront of this recipe.

Flavorah Pink Guava: an odd duck to be sure, for me anyway. Turns out all the scuttlebutt about this flavor is true. It's mostly a grapefruit flavor, not bad but for me not a lot of applications as I mostly live my DIY life mixing creams, custards and other dessert flavors. It's incredibly strong so at 0.25% it's noticeable but not intrusive.

Inawera Pink Panther: another odd duck kind of flavor for me. I've commented before that this is a flavor that you're either going to love or you're going to hate. Mostly tart red currant with a back note of rhubarb and maybe a touch of strawberry. I like it but it doesn't really pair well with creams/desserts so it's not something that I use often. Like the FLV Pink Guava it's very concentrated and used as a background note so at only 0.15% I still get some red currant but again, it's not intrusive.

Molinberry Pink Lady: so here is a flavor that is described as "a combination of floral & fruit notes: rose, hibiscus, maracuja and guava". Turns out it pairs very nicely with FLV Pink Guava as it gives more depth to the grapefruitiness of that. Yet, it is slightly sweet and floral without being too floral which I find off-putting. This is a new flavor in my arsenal so I don't have a ton of experience with it yet but this is a great start me thinks.

Capella Super Sweet: at 0.25% this additive helps to cut the tartness. If you like tart, feel free to omit.

Age this mix for 24 hours then enjoy.

YMMV :D

    ugh ! I didn't multi quote as I read...a couple of days catching up.


    The coughing/inhaled cinnamon powder has faded from the Horchata.
    I still think the CAP is better tho. Kind of 'deeper"


    Rumchata - is why I bought that rum :)





    ...and now I don't remember what else :(

    Good morning !

    I’ve tried some Nets and different tobacco juices and none of them tasted like real tobacco. The closest I’ve had was some pipe tobacco juices that a friend won and sent me samples of.

    The closest I've come to a real cig taste was with .5% (half a percent in case you missed the decimal point) FA Black Fire added to a traditional cigarette DIY flavor. Black Fire adds the smoke effect that you got with a real cigarette. Balanced correctly it's amazing how close it is.

    I don't use much Blackberry. It is an ingredient in the Too Cool remix of Naked 100's Very Cool. I use TFA and get no perfume at all.
    I like TFA but I think the FA was made before it was considered for ecigs. Maybe it was for a drink flavoring or something. Even at .15 it will take over and its just super floral

    I'm pretty sure that I bough a bottle of that but never tried it. I went on a bit of a spree buying new flavors some time ago and never tried half of them. About how much would you recommend in a mix?

    I think it may be bad when you taste nic more than your flavoring, LOL, to be fair I've just been ADDING nic. I really don't want to smoke today, and also, that's currently my favorite tank.

    I kind of don't want to smoke out of SPITE almost for letting stress get to me and then failing miserably, so I'm doing that. The husband was mad because I've been chain vaping (I usually don't most mornings anymore) but I was REALLY trying to avoid smoking because I actually felt ill from the amount of tobacco I inhaled last night. We had words, and I'm a) trying not to let myself believe his unfortunate and hurtful words and b) like, not JOIN him in the tobacco he is outside smoking.

    He told me my behavior yesterday when I got home (crying distress) was unacceptable and I didn't care for that, it made me want to (probably unacceptably) punch him Etc.

    Don't let him get to you. Stick to your guns and don't be coerced into smoking if you don't want to. My wife still smokes. She has complained before about how much vaping stuff I have and I just brush it off. I just think that my collection is small compared to the pile there would be if you had all the cigarette butts from the last nine years that she's smoked.

    If I got any complaints I could always point to my wall of pipes or stash of pipe tobacco.

    And now for something completely different... :eek:

    Just finished mixing a modified version of "Golden S'Mores" by SessonDrummer over on ELR. Sounds good in my head... :cool:

    Golden S'Mores Bars
    Marshmallow (PUR) 6%
    Graham Cracker (CAP) 3%
    White Chocolate Fudge SC (WF) 2%
    Salted Caramel (FW) 1.5%
    Vanilla Shisha (INW) .75%
    Sweetener (TFA) 1%

    Guess I'll know in 3 or 4 weeks... :D

    I don't remember who recommended the enthion rda clone from FT a couple weeks ago but thank you. I got it yesterday and got it set up this morning. I'm getting really good flavor from it and it was super easy to build on. I think it will be a good one for testing flavors.

    Or, the pile of cigarette packs if they were assembled in one place. 2 PAD is 730 packs a year times the cost of a pack.

    That and the hadalay are the best flavor RDA's I know of.

    I always had 200-400 cigarettes on hand and carried a spare 20.
    Someone talking about the dangers of a DNA study. I freely threw around 250,000 DNA samples when I smoked.

    On my coffee quest.
    The Cappuccino is getting increased to 4%. There's not much coffee coming through. Considering trying .5% of the Espresso in it.
    The Espresso has toned down. Still bitter espresso. Not much chocolate coming through. May up the chocolate and add some fresh cream. But it could be good as it is for a vape when drinking alcohol.
    INW Tiramisu is good. Just enough coffee. The Catalan Cream makes it dessert-like. It's done.

    At 2 weeks the TFA CaraCap and Tiramisu are smelling better but I think they need 3 weeks to pit against the others. They both still have some burning rubber taste. I think the old recommendation must've been don't even bother smelling them for 2 weeks, aging to vape is better a 3-4 weeks.
    Of course the others will win for being a safer vape and not needing as much aging, these are more for targets to better.
    The INW Tiramisu is already there to stand with the TFA. I'm sure between the FA Espresso and FA Cappuccino they can stand against CaraCap, there's no burning rubber to deal with in them.

    Others.
    I'm amazed 2% Amber vs 4% FA Pom still has the Amber way in the back. It is the level of "Hmm, what is it?" I wanted. I think I'll vape on it for a while.
    Ace and Queen are not my favorite things even with a little age.
    The Zeus comes today to try the Smokey Amber Plum in. The tester is at 2 weeks and should have enough for priming and a tank full.
