    Morning Fran. Work stuff, errands, and trying to figure out a Father's Day present. And to do a little bit of mixing this evening.

    How bout you?
    I’m anxious to mix my Chocolate ice cream cone with my new base. IMO it’s really good…..yummy. I may decide to do the Nanaimo bars with some coffee and cream but IDK.

    I wish you success in mixing. Too bad I don't care for chocolate vapes. But I would like to try your IC base one of these days.

    I added some graham cracker, and gooey marshmallow to the s’mores I had already. Hoping that bumps it up a notch. Who knows, I may dump that into the ssa ic mix I abandoned lol. Keep dumping until it’s either magic or vile? :lol:
    What % did you use s'mores at?

    Last night I put 10mls of my s'more/marshmallow into a bottle and added some graham cracker (~1%).

    I'm dripping a little today, like a little kid I could not wait, it is good. I like it. Setting it aside to steep for a while.

    On a side note: My FA graham bottle, that I bought from BCF, is labeled "Graham Cracker" even though their page lists it as "Graham Crust". I double checked the Flavour Art website and it is "Graham Crust" not cracker.


    You’re putting too many options in my head :blink:
    Many options are good! The more the merrier. :lol:

    Nanaimo bars at 4% - the chocolate becomes harsh so need some creams to balance and smooth that out.
    :)
    That's good to know. Noted and Thank You. :)

    I went with 3% in Butch's Nanaimo Cappuccino.

    Happy hump day.

    Hmmph. Yesterday's break from the rain lasted maybe 20 minutes, twice. So still too soggy for much outdoor work, but they once again claim it's going to taper off... but we do need the water, and the temps are still being reasonable.

    Good morning. Just another Wednesday at work here. My Aspire Boxx is out for delivery so that's something to look forward to. I need to pack up some more review samples tonight. I started a box of just review samples from the past month or so and it's about half full already.

    Do you ever use anything after it gets boxed?

    With all this talk about coffee related recipes, I'd like some advice on the "must have flavors" (the only ones I have vaped are pre-mades and I do like coffee) First, the basic coffee flavors and also cappuccino flavors (I can add my own caramel, chocolate, hazelnut, ect) Second, any other one's with secondary flavors that are must have flavors (not so much interested in one's with bakery... I can add those myself)
    FA Cappucino is one of the best coffees. Don't let the name fool you, this is an excellent basic coffee flavor.

    FA Tiramisu, SSA Tiramisu. Mixing a tiramisu with coffee will add complexity and interesting notes to your mix.

    I would start with those. I have others but need to test them before I would recommend any.


    To support your coffee mixes you should consider the following...

    FA Fresh Cream, FLV Cream, VTA Milk Fresh. Each of those brings something very different.

    All flavors above can be purchased from BCF or DIY Vapor Supply.

    Another one worth your time and effort = FA Milk, it's really good - BUT - you will need to get it from Chef's or Nom Nomz, both in the UK. It's not sold in the USA.


    ETA: to make this easier... If I was just starting out with coffees I would buy with the following... You will be able to make several very different, but really good, coffee recipes with them.

    FA Cappuccino
    SSA Tiramisu
    FA Fresh Cream
    FLV Cream
    VTA Milk Fresh

    Not all that often. Every once in a while I'll dig something out if I want to use it again or need to take a comparison picture for a review. I got out my squonk mods to test some rdas I was reviewing. I think part of the reason I seldom get stuff back out is that we can still get just about anything we want shipped. Once things are harder to get then I'll probably go back and try more boxed up stuff again.

    highly recommended but haven't tried yet
    fa espresso (I couldn't find it, I found coffee espresso, I'm assuming it's the same thing)
    Yes, it is the same thing. Here: Dark Bean (Coffee Espresso)-FA


    I'm interested in trying wf brazilian coffee
    I have WF Brazilian Coffee. It was very highly recommended. Brazilian Coffee-SC-WF


    SSA Mocca Coffee is also very highly rated. That and the Brazilian were recent purchases that I haven't used it yet. :D

    Good morning Everyone :)

    Today is the first day in a stretch that is nice and cool. 66 now might hit 73 later. The AC gets a break for a day then we go back into the 90's starting tomorrow. While it's nice and cool I need to go and run some errands and get groceries.

    I will likely mix up some stuff later, mixes TBD later.

    thank you, i figured it was the same thing as I know fa sometimes has multiple names for the same flavor (i think it's a lost in translation thing :p ) but thank you so now I know it is the same oh and look yet another name :lol:

    I got the wf brazilian during rivers big sale :D sounded good and at a price I couldn't say no to.

    I like a strong dark coffee as long as it's not bitter...I'm one of those, if it's a good coffee I can drink it black, otherwise na I drown it in cream and sugar :lol:
    I'm also cheap so don't really buy expensive coffee :pervy: the most expensive I'll buy is the death wish coffee, a friend/former coworker bought some and gave me some to try and omg yes....so now I've been buying a bag of it since walmart carries it and a bag of walmart generic or generic hazelnut and mixing the two together

    Your welcome.

    I like my coffee super strong and black. No cream or sugar for me. One cup and I'm pretty much bouncin' off the walls and raring to go. I love Peet's Major Dickason's coffee. It's a full flavored dark roast with a rich taste and excellent aroma. Walmart has it but Target here has it on-sale a lot for a couple bucks less. I'm pretty sure Peet's and Death Wish are about the same price. I've been a huge Peet's fan since the early 80's. Their coffees are awesome. Every now and then I treat myself to some via their website. They are located in Berkeley, CA.
