Two questions please...
Which creme de menthe do you like?
And... does oba oba mute flavors? You use it in place of marshmallow????

I prefer TFA Creme de Menthe. FLV is quite chocolatey to me. FW is fine but I like TFA best. I haven't tried any others.

Oba Oba is marshmallowy so it can replace marshmallow in some mixes. It brightens fruits and adds a tang to creams. It could end up being another secret ingredient like FA Aurora that does that something that nothing else can. I haven't really played with it much and just got the idea to try it in one of the mixes I am working on since I am making some changes and refining. I have not read that it mutes flavors and don't think it contains any of the ingredients that are known to mute (EM).

Thank you... I’ll add it to my list. Maybe it’s all in my head, but it seems like marshmallow can mute sometimes. Oba oba sounds tasty to try. Let us know if you come up with a winner using it! And, I’m glad you mentioned Aurora. It’d not thought about it since summery mixes. I’ll put it on my list of mixing ideas for when I get home

    I also have a joyetech epipe that I could never quite get used to using. For some reason pipes always sounded fun to me but was awkward to use.
    I always thought they would be awkward for me which is why I never tried one.

    Milk Chocolate (FLV)

    Been testing this one all morning. This is one of the crazier flavors I've vaped. Very complex. Here are my observations.

    1) Unlike TFA's Milk Chocolate, this imparts a strong flavor. Nothing wimpy about FLVs version.
    2) I am getting three, separate stages of flavor. The inhale has that soapy flavor I do not like. It's not as pronounced as other chocolates I've tried but it's definitely present. The exhale is milk chocolate to be sure. The aftertaste is more semi-sweet than milk chocolate.

    Nothing boring about FLVs Milk Chocolate. I am rather puzzled if I like it or not. It has both good and bad qualities. It's worth trying to mix with one of my NETs just to see how it blends out. What I'm saying is, the jury is still out. I wouldn't vape it as a standalone but maybe the NET will disguise the bad and expose the good. I have to at least try.

    Since I've never got soapy out of any chocolate that might be worth it to try. Of course, I need to be very sure I don't already have it....

    We all have our own adjectives. Soapy is what I come up with. Others will have their own description. Whatever it is, it aint chocolate to me.

    That is true. If I don't have it I'll stick it on my wishlist for possible future purchase.

    I do agree you should mix it with your NET. It could surprise you again by being very good.

    Guess what,folks?? My chest of drawers is in house!!:rickroll::rickroll:
    Yay! I hope you love it after all that waiting :). I have a low (regular) dresser as my bedside table because my bed is so high. It’s perfect for mixing, leaving room for my flavor cases to be right next to me. Plus, that “encourages” me not to pile stuff on it lol.

    I have my cases in my ottoman and the stand I bought is perfect for mixing. As long as I remove the cases I can sit and mix which is nice.
