I got Flavourah's sweet mango with that in mind and it's just perfect. I threw in 2% with cream, and it's so juicy and authentic tasting.

FLV Sweet Mango is an excellent mango. I use it with FLV Ripe Mango in a couple mixes. IMHO magic happens when you combine the two in a mix. Together they create a very lovely and more complete mango profile.

Morning shinies ;)

I wanted a simple fruit mix for my drop-in tanks that's different to my usual berries. I got Flavourah's sweet mango with that in mind and it's just perfect. I threw in 2% with cream, and it's so juicy and authentic tasting.

It's meant to be just for my tanks, but a creamier version has already snuck into an rta and an rba or two.
I love FLV Mango. Another good one is WF Island Mango. But strong and sweet.

    I’ve seen you mention this before and you finally wore me down. I went ahead and ordered both today. What ratio are you liking them at?

    It's been a reminder. The Ether/Abyss combo has been in my hand these last days.

    I like RDL vaping.
    For me, DotRBA-sized attys like the DotShell and the Pioneer DotRBA are better for tight RDL and MTL. Mine don't get much use at the moment.

    Boro-sized attys in single 18650 mods are normally what I vape but the bigger deck and 21700 capacity of the Abyss/Ether combination is fun again.

    I like FLV Sweet Mango at 1% and FLV Ripe Mango at 0.5% (see my Tropical Yogurt recipe).

    FLV Sweet Mango isn't a "sweet" sweet. It's more like the sweet of a nicely ripened mango IRL. FLV Ripe Mango is a ripe mango, just not as ripe as the other, less sweet more mango. Each mango lacks notes the other has. Paired together = awesomeness. Very similar to eating a freshly ripened mango. Both offer juiciness.

    When I've used each on their own I was left with something less than a complete mango.

    I've switched up the percentages with both for different mango notes. Like so, FLV SM 1% + RM 0.5% (as noted above) to SM 0.5% and RM 1%. No matter how I change the percents, they always deliver a very well rounded mango profile.

    FLV Mango is good but it is not as highly concentrated as SM or RM. SM and RM are ultra concentrates.

    At 1% and 0.5% they make their presence well known with nearly every flavor I've used them with.

    Thanks for that. I will look forward to trying them together. I really don't have any mango recipes besides the tropical yogurt one you shared. I just recently started using mango after trying that recipe. It was just one I never really thought of vaping. I however am really enjoying it.

    I’m a little surprised since they sell other things besides vaping hardware. I wonder if they will close down then reopen somewhere else under a different name.


    I suspect that vape gear was the biggest aspect of their business, especially given how much they would promote it. You could be right about them reopening without the vape gear and trying to promote their other products. That, or opening a site that is only vape gear and adding the steep Chinese taxes to their prices. I suspect that the Chinese government isn't as much interested in stopping vaping as much as profiting from it. Right now, we have been in a gray market with the purchase of Chinese gear. If there is a demand, there will be a supply, even if it is black market. We may have the EU for a awhile, but that will end when they cease shipping to the US.

    I have a great recipe called Mango Pound Cake. Let me know if you want it

    FastTech’s story ends here:confused:
    http://www.fasttech.com/forums/stickies/t/3178132/fasttech-s-story-ends-here/1

    I recently saw this on another Thread. I'll miss Fasttech:thumb:
    Yep, saw that too. With the new Chinese government legislation that went in effect in October (IIRC) it won't surprise me to see the other China based sites follow suit.
    The first time I bought from FT was because of the atty stands, the next time I was going to buy the same atty stands the manufacturer had stopped making them.
    Then I bought some other atty stands, when I came back for the third time the same thing had happened to these as to the first ones.
    A good sign that the industry is changing, for the worse.

    With 36% and maybe 11% "tobacco tax", FT will not be the last to close its doors there.

    If they are closing then I’d think they would want to clearance hardware instead of just having broken links. What are they going to do with existing inventory?
    The profit has probably been on e cig sales, just imagine the thought of the coil profit. There has probably been a slightly tighter margin on mods though, but I know that the Innokin Coolfire Z80 kit was just under $40 at the store I buy from here in Norway, and the kit has probably gone through a couple of extra hands before it got here compared for FT.

    I totally agree Tor.

    In the Are you done stocking up thread UJ posted this: "Over the past few weeks, I've read a few posts on the FT forum & Reddit of people saying that other Chinese sites are charging (quite heftily) for the Chinese govt taxes."

    So other Chinese sites are already charging their customers for those taxes.
