What percentages of peppermint, menthol, creme de menthe, koolada, and sweetener do you use in your Kris Kringle recipe?
Here’s the recipe, you’ll probably want to lower the peppermint, especially if you sub ohm (I lowered the peppermint to 7% for a penguin mod. If I was using it as sub ohm, I’d go down to 4-5%. All TFA:
creme de menthe 3%
sweetener 2%
Koolada 2.5%
Menthol 2.5%
Peppermint 7-10%

sorry if i missed anything, trying to catch up on about 10 pages :p

no I haven't... I don't really care for tobacco but this may need a touch....





yeah sf's do not cut it... I tried almost every clove out there and none were right, 6 years in the making and I've finally nailed it (or extremely close) though I may knock the anise down a bit, I looked up many things on clove cigarettes to find out the components....
diyfs clove 4%
diyfs anise 2%
diyfs cinnamon 1%
tfa french vanilla 1%
sweetener .8%
diyfs coffee 1%
fw sassafras 1%
fa cardamom 1.5%
tfa holiday spice 1.5% (for the nutmeg)
tfa maple syrup 1%
fw ginger .3% (optional but I think it helps)

15.10% flavoring, it really could be lowered down to 10% which I may do later and as said the anise probably needs to be lowered and maybe a tobacco flavor added to round it out
I was an avid sampoerna xtra smoker until they were banned, djarum blacks were ok but not the same...
I see you've dropped the percentages of a lot of the flavors from the last iteration I copied. I'm glad I compared what I already had to your latest version.

    I’m still trying to get a feel for the gooey butter cake. I added some raspberry and that helped a little. Maybe it’s one of those you have to mix at higher percentages. I did the sft at 5%. I might try it again at ten.

    Man rewicking was hell (mainly due to FAILURE to notice I had "washed away" my lower O-ring in the Siren, but only after replacing everything ELSE and you know, Tea is one of my favorite eliquids but like, I just smashed one jar, and a 4.5 ml atty emptying all over your pants can just make you resentful. Finally got it right FINALLY. Jeez.

    I will say my newest Pink Champagne mix is my favorite so far. I see a lot of Marsala wine in my future mixes, that rewick was EASY, oh if you count the fact that I was sticky, miserable, and needed to bathe. It took forever. I bathed.

    I decided "there is always another day to do yoga. I'm just EXHAUSTED. I realize I am only minus 2 klonopin and plus 5 mg of valium to reach homeostasis which is ALL I'm after.

    I wonder why some people find this benzo recreational. I totally don't. It's more like having a beehive and no appliances and 4 kids running around as you stare off into space. I can't wait until it's OVER.

    So yes, mixing Good. Wicking Oh, bad, bad bad. Yes just like usual. Only dumber.

    Leaking tanks are one of my least favorite things. I usually won’t even consider a bottom airflow tank any more. I love the original Zeus and have five in rotation with a few back ups. I’m thinking that I might add to the back ups while they are still available. They are getting a little harder to find. I keep hoping someone will put them on clearance.

    I finally got out the FA labrynth sft to try. I read descriptions on it and most say there is a taste of sponge cake and some vanilla and citrus. It has been steeping for over a month which might be too long. I should have done a snv tasting. I do get some kind of cake and some vanilla. I’m not sure I get the citrus but there is something else there. It’s a pleasant flavor and kinda sweet at 6%.

    This is the first of the batches I made on Saturday that I have tested. It is really good - super refreshing! Great summer vape that tastes like an icy lime slushy. I think it could use a touch of Aurora and I will add some to the next batch.

    WF SC Snake Fruit at 2% is rather tasty. Not too sweet and tastes kinda like a mixed fruit to me.

    FW Whiskey at 1% is not my idea of a good whiskey. I may do a mix with a higher % at some point but I don't have much hope for it.
