Smooth how do you use it

[RogerWilco357]

I have seen a lot of people use this smooth . But how do you use this to round out a flavor? Does it have a flavor of its own? any intel is appreciated.

It's a light tobacco concentrate used in tobacco juice recipes. It rounds out Virginia tobacco concentrates along with a drop or two of apple cider vinegar to lower the grassy taste of the Virginia's.

I don't, I won't

so it has a tobacco note to it?

 

[boomerdude]

Yes. Like a light cigarette tobacco.

so it has a tobacco note to it?

It mask's the true tobacco taste of a flavor and smooths tobacco blends mellowing tobaccos that stand out more then the others. I myself don't use it as I find it removes more flavor then it's worth.

If your mixes need smooth, you're either using too high percentage, low quality nic or your flavors are sub-par. Smooth chemically alters your tast perception and no there isnt an iota of tobacco in it

Exactly! Although Smooth (TFA) and Vape Wizard/Magic Mask (FA) may have a bit of added flavor, they are designed to chemically alter the way our taste buds/receptors work, so that we perceive the juice tastes differently. FA states this in their 'blurbs'; TFA doesn't (but I confirmed it with Linda at TFA).

Lovely thought, eh? Anything inhaled into the lungs goes directly into the bloodstream. So we'd be mainlining chemicals that are designed to temporarily alter the action of parts of our body. 'Don't know about anybody else, but I'd have to see a LOT of "studies" on how that "temporarily" affects our brain and other organs (and the long/short term effects of 'repeated temporary chemical alteration') before I start mainlining it!

Besides, no one needs to alter their taste buddies to create a great juice!

Lol, I like the Virginia's and don't notice any "grassy taste".

Maybe I was a cow in a previous life

But then I'm also adding TA's and DNB so...

Like Fabreeze? Your air still stinks but now you can't smell it.

So if a vape has a grassy taste or other undesirable you can add this and it will mask that flavor ? Or would it be easier to find another tobacco flavor? Do some tobacco flavors already have this mask added or in place to tweak the flavoring? that would concern me as well.
Thanks for all the intel its appreciated.

Actually I think the Apple Cider Vinegar works better than Smooth. A lot of folks get a grassy or soapy taste with Virginia tobacco. I extract a lot of concentrates from different tobaccos and American Spirit Organic is a great mix of Virginia with no grassiness. Hangsen makes a couple of good concentrates also.

I haven't found need for Vape Wizard or similar flavorings, either. But I don't fear that they'd affect my other organs (any more than other flavorings do). We experience that all the time, such as after we brush our teeth and foods taste odd for a while. Even Mother Nature has some fun, taste-altering tricks. This stuff is awesome - totally harmless berry (classified as a food additive by the FDA), after chewed, makes all sour things taste sweet. The tartest Key limes taste like lime lollipops: Synsepalum dulcificum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After reading how that works, I imagine Vape Wizard and similar flavorings affect taste buds using similar mechanisms, whether naturally- or artificially-produced (just like all our flavorings).

Of course, of course...to each his own (and all that) --

However, there's a vast difference of the effects of eating 'something' and the effects of direct inhalation of the same 'something'.
