Random DIY mixing and More

[IDJoel]

@IDJoel one the one of these watermelons where I used wintergreen I think it helps the green watermelon on the exhale.

Thanks, Myk. I've added your thoughts to your recipe saved in my calc.

Tried some forest berry with cream awhile back after a week steep. Didn't like it. Not a fan of forest berry by (fa) . Shame I read it was a very good solo flavor.

FA Forest Fruit can be a bit harsh and "bitey" to my taste buds (as a stand-alone). A recipe, where I think it really shines, is one created by @Capt.shay (and shared here: Berry Berry Good):
Berry Berry Good by Capt.shay

VBIC(TFA) 6%
Marshmellow(TFA) 2%
Forest Fruit(FA) 4%
Raspberry Sweet(TFA) 1%
Stawberry Ripe(TFA) 0.5% (one half percent)

-- The TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (VBIC) provides the creamy base.
-- The Marshmallow, softens the "sharp edges of the forest fruit, and adds a touch of mouthfeel (thickness).
-- At 4%; the Forest Fruit is the center-stage star.
-- And, the Raspberry and Strawberry, help bring these two fruit notes a bit more forward in the forest fruit. This could be removed entirely for a more "pure" forest fruit, or replaced with any berry/berries you wanted to make stand out (such as blackberry, blueberry, boysenberry, or ???).

I find this needs at least two weeks in the cupboard, to allow the Forest Fruit to settle down, and the vbic to come out.

One flavor that I've never heard mentioned here is FA Cuban Supreme. It's a cigar style flavor with a bottle sniff aroma that makes you want to mix up a batch. I haven't mixed any for a while and just happened to think about it. As with most Flavourart concentrates less is more. 2% as a standalone creates a good cigar flavor, but it's best mixed with fruits and cremes, maybe some candy flavorings like Vanilla and Caramel. Some mix in a touch of chocolate.

I think I'll mix a bottle next session.

Dave, I think part of the reason that the Cuban supreme hasn't been mentioned is that this thread seems to focus more on fruit and dessert flavors. That Cuban does sound really good and I might just add a bottle to my wishlist. Do you have a favorite recipe for it?

 

[Myk]

(So, how long does it take 100mg VG nicotine to defrost? )

I run it under hot water, because I rarely think to get it out before I need it.

Forestberry and crème brulee. It's sweet enough to strip paint however.

This is not my recipe and unfortunately I don't know who did create it so I can't give proper credit but I have enjoyed the following recipe on several occasions. If I'm not mistaken, it came from a thread here on ECF somewhere and is supposedly a decent clone of Nicoticket Wakonda. I've never had Wakonda myself so I can't comment on it's accuracy, I just know I like it.

FA Espresso - 2%
FA Vanilla Bourbon - 2%
FA Cuban Supreme - 2%
FA Irish Cream - 1%

Simple, easy to mix and ( to me at least ) has great flavor for a recipe that only requires 4 flavors and 7% total flavoring. It does need a couple of weeks steeping however, preferably 4 if you have the patience ... I never do, lol.

Yes Fran, the Irish Cream probably makes it a tad too sweet for you ... sorry.

Thanks for the extra info on this mix. I've had it in my recipe list for a while but haven't made it yet. I'm getting closer to wanting a berry mix as a change up from the usual suspects.

Not mixing or eciggy. Work would be nice to fit in and get some diamonds set while my fingers aren't hurting (a good side effect that's lingering beyond the hangover this time).

Didnt know you were a jeweler, or did I miss something

Watermelon Salad, the one with 2% Jalapeno.
Now that's interesting. At first it tasted like too green of watermelon. Then perfume, some cantaloupe and pom. Maybe some throaty tingle from the jalapeno but it's definitely not hot (to me, I eat a lot of hot peppers).
I'm not sure if the flavors haven't married or if this is the type of bouncing between flavors I was looking for.

The screwed up Melon Salad with the kid in the candy store designing the recipe wanting to try all the cantaloupes, it tastes like ... cantaloupes. The Jalapeno at 1% was not tickling the throat.

@IDJoel on one of these watermelons where I used wintergreen I think it helps the green watermelon on the exhale.

Honeysuckle Cream needs the vanilla toned down. It's good but I'm not that big of a fan of vanilla.
Honeysuckle Custard needs more custard like I suspected. Although I imagine that is closer to the balance it should have.

Sex on the Beach needs toned down and other flavors brought up. I'll have to look up the drink but there's something obnoxious in there to my tastes. Cherry might go good in it. And orange or pineapple.

Root Beer Float is a good A&W rootbeer, not sure about the float though. With the regular rootbeer I added anise. This could be a stand alone. I could expand this to 15ml which is how I usually mix flavors like this but the tester is already 10ml.

If you look on ejuicmeup's recipes Dave has a SexOnBeach recipe thats pretty good

 

[Letitia]

I never think to look there for recipes. I have it downloaded on my computer somewhere. I'll have to look for it.

 

[hittman]

I got my NR order. It includes Brie cheese, smoked butterscotch, and Italian cream. I ordered 15ml on the Brie and butterscotch but the Brie bottle appears to be bigger and has a long clear cap with a long pointed tip on the bottle.

 

[IDJoel]

but the Brie bottle appears to be bigger and has a long clear cap with a long pointed tip on the bottle.

If it looks like this:

it is because they are now adding a pipette-type tip on it; to make dispensing from the glass bottle easier (for us measure-by-weight folks anyway). My FLV Basil came that way. I like the principle thumb; but it makes the bottle too tall for my organization system -x).

Actually that will probably work fine for me

I don't mix by weight and I hate those bottles. Don't fit it my cases either.

My Cheesecakes have done better than my tobacco blends with this run of mixes.

I think I'm the exception to that. I don't vape desserts and I'm not big on fruity mixes.Most of my successful mixes are cheesecakes or tobacco blends.

 

[IDJoel]

They come off easily enough. And, if one is using syringes to measure, that would work. The trick would be finding flat caps that fit the bottle... then the problem is solved.

That made me giggle!

Yes that’s it. The butterscotch is the same brand but it’s in a different bottle.

Easy???? I have one of those bottles and had to have hubs get the cap off the dang thing.

Have I mentioned I hate those bottles??
