Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Well the A+ Blend will be piffed to my friend. It's ok enough to vape the 15ml bottle I mixed but I'm just not crazy about it at all.

Send it packin'!

Yep,I'm gonna do that. Now I need a NET that will work well in a blend. The Perique does pretty good but I'd like to try another.

@hittman what Stixx have you tried and what do you think of them (not the tea).

 

[DavidOck]

Let's hope not. I wouldn't worry much for myself. I'm 72 now and have enough flavors to vape as long as I want. Would be nice to be able to replace any flavors that might go bad I've never had this happen but who knows? I'm going to check over my most used flavors soon and order any I may think I need more of.

While we may see some re-branding on our favorite sites, I don't think food flavoring is going away any time soon, same with PG and VG. They just won't be advertised or listed as for vaping. I suspect they WILL come down on nic base.

At "only" 71, I have enough nic (and mods and toppers) to put in my will, so not concerned for myself, either. Sad for those who've not made the switch yet, or have just recently and are now facing vapocalypse with no time to prep.

Yes, the future for new vapers isn’t bright and rosy.

I have cherry cavendish, A+, Fronto, butter rum cavendish, c&d virginian, Nicaraguan viso, and Honduran ligero. I’ve only tried the viso and butter rum cavendish so far. I like the cavendish solo but the viso is working in a mix but didn’t like it alone.

If the deeming starts with 2016 then are the products made before that grandfathered in? We made it with cigalikes and survived. If someone really wants to make the switch then I believe they can. Also there’s people like me that are stocked enough to supply a small village that could give out some equipment to get some people started.

I’ll have to wait for you to try the Fronto and Virginian.

Still a project in progress but Havana Primed might fit that bill.

Only products pre 2007. So basically nothing.

 

[hittman]

I can’t imagine what was available then. I didn’t start til 2009 and all we had were cigalikes.

That is the H Primed ?

Wasn’t much.

Yes. It’s a mild/medium straight up cigar flavor. Genuine tobacco flavor, nothing complex. No real flavors other than basic cigar tobacco. This is why it’s a good blending choice. You don’t have to offset any odd flavors in the NET with your own flavoring.

Sounds right up my alley for my blends. Up for next order and with luck I can be done

Coming up with good recipes is hard enough. Trying to find flavors that either compliment or offset complex flavor notes in NETS just adds to the difficulty. H Primed gives you only one note. Tobacco. Not too weak and not too strong.

Honduran Ligero, for example, gives you two flavor notes. Tobacco and some kind of a light fruity-like exhale. This is why fruit goes well with it. The NET does not get in the way (or clash) with your fruit flavorings. It helps it.

Dark Fire, on the other hand is strong, smoky, and rich with a lot of flavor. Trying to make DF taste like something else you imagine in your mind would be quite difficult.

Yeah, it’s going to be interesting trying the DF.

Of course, then Altoids will be tobacco.

I’ve got a box of parts around somewhere for building 14500 box mods.
