My friend just called me he still smokes and I've been trying to make him something that he likes. He said what ever you just made me tastes alomost like a real Menthol Cigarette. I mix the Menthol Crystals 50/50 (per instructions) he asked me to bump up the

Menthol 5% :shock:
Koolada .5%
Indian 3%



Maybe this will get him to quit

Isn't that a little heavy on the flavor? I heard elsewhere that 2% is the max....but I could be wrong. Also, do I need to let it steep? Thanks for the insight.
If you are referring to Hangsen tobaccos. I mix mine 2.8 - 4 %. It depends on the flavor compounds. Turkish Blend is on the lighter side.

For those wondering I just got the Churchill and it does have an anise flavor to it for sure, probably 50%, actually had one of those star anise cookies and yes very true flavor on that end. The anise is stronger when first mixed and melds in a little when steeped.

I'm vaping in the red USA mix right now and liking it. Both mixes are very clear right now at day 2

Is that trying and failing to like?

Fluffy is the one that says more is better and that's usually a mistake.
Actually, I am mixing for SIL and she tells me that she loves everything I mix. Hmmmm. I can honestly say so far the mixes are good. I plan on converting to all Hangsen by the end of year.

I'm getting towards the end of my UC steep with hangen red. It smells pretty plain and I've read that it tastes like american cigarette tobacco. Guess I'm about to find out.

Also just finishing up UC steep on arabic and desert ship.

I'm definitely getting a slightly ashy aroma/taste from the red USA mix. I had an ash tray accross the table from me (not mine) and when wind blew the smell towards me it was a scent with similarity to the red usa mix. This may be sought after by some. The overall flavor is probably closer to like a Marlboro medium. But it only has one full day steeping. No complaints on this one, clearest juices I've ever had! Can't wait to see how long my coils stay clean.. At least twice as long I bet; if not more.

Does she only like Deserts and Fruits?
Yes at first she like the tobaccos and variants. Now she loves carrot cake, vanilla cupcake etc. . I am trying to find the time to mix/develop a red velvet type with cream cheese frosting. Honestly, I think I could just mix up the cream cheese flavoring and she would just love it. She like the tobaccos but since tasting the sweets she will never go back.

Me- I love my tobacco flavors.. I still need to find the time to order some premixed Hangsen.

Just ordered some juices (not flavors) from Hangsen, including the vanilla I have the flavoring from. Going to see how they compare.

Great. I'm looking forward to reading your comparison. I'm finally vaping some of the tab blended I mixed several days ago. This has to have the driest aftertaste of any tobacco flavor I've tried so far. Is 'dry' even a flavor lol? At least a very mild sweet is starting to come forward on the after taste as well, which helps my sweet tooth. I don't mean to imply it's not an enjoyable vape. None of it will go to waste, but unless it improves some more I probably won't be reordering it.
