TFA flavor help

What is a good percentage on the black tea to use for mixing with fruits? I really like the juicy peach also with a little sweet cream and em.

I started low on this one.. 2% tea. Granted I start low with just about everything. If it's not strong enough I move it up, but if I like it, I don't really tweak. With peach the tea could stand to go a little higher because I like the peach a bit stronger.

I figured I should go light on the koolada .It recommends 10 drops per 10mls but think I will just start with half that and 10 percent on the watermelon and add more of each if needed .Has anyone tried the green apple? I want to make a apple jolly rancher mix and it sounds like I should just get the regular apple instead .

I personally love the green apple. It tastes like a jolly rancher on its own. 12% Green Apple 2% EM = Mouth watering. It was one of my first mixes and still make it for myself and friends.

I use Koolada @ 1% and Menthol @ 2% with 5% commercial tobacco and 5% blueberry Yummy.

Has anyone tried the Hangsen essence flavorings from VZ? I use to vape the dekang desert ship and 555 and was curious if these taste the same.

Back to the top for hangsen help

I have no idea.. Never tried that brand at all!

Having its own post (with hangsen in the title) might help for visibility...

How is the cowboy compared to Virginia? Desertship compared to Virginia? I wasnt a fan of the Wyatt earp.

The Virginia is pretty mild and not very perfumey or flowery compared To Desert Ship. I made a mix with Desert Ship that was OK after a month, but when you first blend it it has a lot of incense sort of character. I think it is pretty vile myself, taste is subjective of course. And hard to describe. But I would describe fresh Desert Ship as something like the ... crack sweat pouring off a hippie, who had spent the last month on tour, sleeping in the grass at rest stops, not bathed in years but was swimming in patchouli, after the Dead just played the first Dark Star in five years at Hampton in 1989.

Sweet Cream

I found myself having to add Ethyl Vanillin to almost every tobacco mix I made, either to add something that was missing or mask something that shoulda been left out. Which was OK, I like vanilla well enough, but all my tobaccos were, well, like vanilla was added. So I tried Bavarian Creme which a lotta people seem to like, it was OK, but not much different than just adding Ethyl Maltol and Ethyl Vanillin, so nothing new there.

I got some TFA Sweet Cream, it has a little vanilla note but not so much. Really smooths things out without adding too much extra. It is quickly becoming a standard in most of my recipes. A lot of the tobacco flavors are a little harsh or too dry for my tastes. A drop of Sweet Creme per mL juice smooths and fills out the body without making a milkshake out of it.

Good stuff.

Another question,What is best needle for my base ? I have a 18g and it doesnt seem to fill up good.So I have just been using regular 5ml syringe from one of my kids old medicines but its a pain to get all the base when the bottle starts getting below half filled.I use a 50/50 blend but plan on getting 70vg/30pg blend next time around.I need a good 10ml syringe setup as I tend to make 10ml and 30ml batches .

I have some of the Jamaican rum, curious how you would describe the flavor, and what % works for you?

I, unfortunately, haven't tried the Virginia. Someone once suggested that Cowboy + Virginia = Wyatt Earp. I need to place a new order for FA liquids, especially the ones I haven't tried. Sorry I couldn't be of more help on that front.

I'm trying out some new blueberry mixes (blueberry + vanilla swirl, blueberry + redbull which is supposed to taste like sweet tarts), but haven't had a chance to taste them. I do a "Death by Berries" (Blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, raspberry) and a "Black n Blueberry" (pretty self explanatory) that are to die for. The TFA blackberry is phenomenal.

I almost mixed up blueberry and belgian waffles last night, but I haven't worked up the nerve to try the waffles (was a free sample from WL).

There is nothing on here that hasn't been said for me to add, soooo adeline care to share your Death By Berries recipe? I just got super-excited reading the description, but I still suck at proper flavor ratios so I would for sure botch it left to my own imagination (my apologies to the OP in advance for semi-hijacking....but that just sounds too good lol)
