Random DIY mixing and More

[Katya]

Sounds good. I'm thinking 10% Black Tea and 8% Cactus. Nice and light.

Oh no! Start at 2% Tea and work up if you have to. You've been warned.

I prefer the .8 coils.

Yes, overall a great choice... how many watts do you use?

 

[FranC]

Sorry, Frannie. Bummer.

Still backreading.

It’s my fault. Should have just went for the bigger ones to start with.

Also, a question about teas. I've been using FA Black Tea and TFA Green tea forever, but if anyone has recommendations for other black or green teas, I'm all ears. I would like to find a green tea that's more "Japanese" then "Chinese," if that makes sense to you. As in less perfumey--closer to white tea flavor, perhaps, I'm all ears.

I have FE Green Tea but haven't mixed with it yet. I'll mix something with it this week. What goes good with green teas? Any fruits? Creams? Vanilla?

Please tell me, what is the the difference between a Japanese and a Chinese green tea. I really don't know.

 

[FranC]

Thanks, DL. Those are serious glasses.

The pair I ordered are cheaper. Dd will be working in the office here tomorrow but as soon as I can get on the computer tomorrow I’ll post a link.

 

[vaper1960]

We do!

But the thing is it is based on some video game (or something like that) and resemble Dwarf or whatever... not into games so wouldn't know. Don't really care... seems like a simple rta and very popular. I'm flat broke or would order 10 of them

So 2% Black Tea, 8% Cactus?

12 to 14.

I have FE Green Tea but haven't mixed with it yet.

Please let me know. It's been on my list of flavors to try for quite some time.

What goes good with green teas? Any fruits? Creams? Vanilla?

Fruit, any fruit, really. I love pear and peach with my greens. Creams are nice, too. Not a fan of vanilla.

Please tell me, what is the the difference between a Japanese and a Chinese green tea. I really don't know.

Hmm. To my taste buds, Japanese is more like matcha flavors, more earthy than floral? I think.

I miss Skeebo. He’ll hopefully be back in a couple days,

 

[Katya]

So 2% Black Tea, 8% Cactus?

Not sure about Cactus--it's not much of a flavor, as I recall. Always start low--3-4% fruit, perhaps? Mix a small batch at first. You may prefer higher percentages than I do. I vape very lightly flavored eliquids.

Good luck.

Gotta go. BBL

Be sure to take a video of you trying the first puff of that. 8% cactus has to be horrible. I couldn’t stand it in the grape recipe I tried.

I just looked it up... pretty much what you said Kat.

Chinese green teas usually have a lighter, sweeter and toasty flavor, while the Japanese ones are often vegetal and brisker, often bitter if over-brewed. Chinese black tea will usually be sweeter, often having chocolate notes, while the rare Japanese blacks are a slightly more astringent and maltier.

Grack Juice?

 

[hittman]

Grack Juice?

Yes, that’s the one.

 

[Redbird11]

Yes, that’s the one.

I never tried it, but I remember it had something like 2 or 2.5% Cactus. That's a lot.

 

[Katya]

pretty much what you said Kat.

Ahem. You're too kind. That's not quite what I said, but maybe what I meant to say?

Anyway, I like green teas that don't taste like grass clippings (FA) or perfume.

Me too. I was hoping he would remove that video. Was PM'ing with him late into last night and early this morning. He was in good spirits and super funny. He cracks me up.

Which coils? I like the 0.8ohm coils but honestly, realized I like the o.3 ohm coils more (too little, too late... would have ordered more of those) I guess the MTL folks seem to like the 1.6 ohm coils... have not tried those myself.

I like 1.6 and .8. In that order. Lower range of recommended watts for both. FWIW.

And now I'm really gone.
