The "Let's give Levitas a helping hand" Thread

[Levitas]

Okay, while I am waiting on my tobacco package from Wizard Labs, I am yet again coming to you guys for your opinions and recommendations.

I am going to try and plan my next order, and I think I want it to, at the very least, consist of a GREAT peanut butter, and an AWESOME apple flavor.

The apple: I want it to taste as authentic as feasible. I like the candy flavored apple, but, I already have one. I mentioned in another thread that Liberty Flights' Apple e-juice tasted exactly like real apple juice. If I can get something like that, or like a real apple (red apple preferred), that would be awesome.

The peanut butter: As close to the real deal, if feasible. Brand wise, if it at all matters, I love Peter Pan. Or, a peanut butter that tastes like the stuff used in Reeses would also be excellent.

So, I will most likely be adding to this list, but, if you'd like to throw your 2 cents forward, and hook me up with some recommendations, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Caps peanut butter is legit, at least for me

 

[graffinfected]

i dont reccomend the LOR peanut butter, although it tastes pretty good... its just that it gets over powered so easily.. TFA i heard is good... but people tend to like the CAP peanut butter the best

Alrighty, the new flavors are in! I am fortunate enough to get off early enough to do some minor mixing and experimenting.

The whole package smelled of BWB's Casablanca, and which flavor was the culprit? The Acetyl Pyrazine This isn't necessarily a terrible thing, but, Casablanca wasn't really my thing. But, I won't knock the flavor until I try it, though, I won't be trying it right off of the bat like with the tobaccos.

Okie Dokie, the baccos. I mixed a 5ml bottle of each, all at 5% flavoring:

-Double RY4 (TFA)
-Commercial Tobacco (SM)
-Light Brand (SM)

Time for the initial taste tests.

First up, the Light Brand (SM): I am vaping this in the same atty in which I use my BNB (Banana Nut Brownie) juice in, and I've got to say, it's a plain-ish flavor (or perhaps weak at 5%), but, what promise I can see in this flavor is that it could be a great mixer for that BNB blend to give it that body I felt it was missing. I will definitely be experimenting with it to see if it's the key.

Okay, so next we have the Double RY4 (TFA): Ooo, now that's tasty! MMm, caramel, baby! I can almost see what you would taste with the steeping. At first, it's pretty robust, even at 5%. I imagine it calming into a smooth and sweet flavor. However, it's pretty damn good straight up fresh, no doubt. This also might be an excellent mixer for that BNB blend I spoke of earlier. Ooo, the possibilities are becoming exciting. Be aware this flavor loves to hang about the atty, just FYI

Finally, we've the Commercial Tobacco (SM): (And also, some nic fitting...) Hmm, this isn't all that great. There is an under note of very slight perfumey-ness (if I mixed at a higher %, I imagine it would be more prevalent). This might turn okay with time, though, I'll say it's my least favorite of the 3 thus far. I imagine this to be a good flavor for those who are just starting to vape, and want something more akin to a cigarette. That's what it sorta reminds me of, a cigarette. Meh, let us see where time gets us.




Alright, so, there you have it! 2/3 enjoyed at the mix is pretty good to me! If word being spread is truth, and that these flavors increase in excellence with time, then I think I am going to be one happy camper. Especially with that RY4, that stuff is freakin' awesome (trying it again just to make sure...) Yep, still tasty (although, I can still taste the commercial tobacco with that last puff... meh).

I will, as promised, put away the Commercial tobacco (no promises on the other two right away). I won't touch it for a minimal of 3 weeks. I have it dated for today, 11/16. Come December 7th, I'll break it back out for the steep test to see if there was any major improvements (I record all of my initial flavor testing in my DIY recipe folder I have, so, I will be able to look back and see if there was change).

Fin.

I love the Double RY4 and even though it's good right away, it gets even better as it steeps. I have some that I made 2 months ago and it is yummy! Glad to hear you like it.

On the 7th, mix a fresh batch so you will have fresh and steeped to compare, side by side. A much better test than just memory

It is good. Unfortunately, the commercial tobacco is being an atty bully, and I am having difficulty enjoying the RY4 in it. I fear to clean this atty, because it's already months old I find that if it gets cleaned too often, especially if it's old, it tends to just up and die on me.

I think I might set this Ry4 aside as well (after a couple more tastes), and just mix a new bottle (I want to try a zesty mix anyways with this flavor). That way, come Dec. 7th, I will have both the Commercial and the Ry4 to try out in the steeping trial.

 

[graffinfected]

yeaaaaaa.. lol but hey i have to say something.. about that commercial tobaccy...

i dont use it alone.. i use it in a mix i make for an all day vape.. so i cant really recommend the commercial by itself.. from what i have been reading from you posts .. i dont think you have brown sugar from TFA.. soo you wouldnt be able to taste my all day vape.. im kinda wondering what that Acytil PRoblabla( i dont know what its called ) that you have is all about... is like a bread flavor or wheat or something??? it stunk up your order package... what is that all about?? what the hell would u mix that with?? maybe like a desert? or if your gonna make some type of holy bread flavor??? lol i just cant think of what i can make with that off the top of my head.. at the moment..

 

[Levitas]

Have you ever had the juice Casablanca from Backwoods Brew? If so, that's exactly what it smells like, (rather, Casablanca smells exactly like AP).

Not necessarily a bad smell (haven't tasted it yet) but I dunno if it's really my cup of tea. And yes, it's powerful, and it stunk up the order, lol. I put it in a bag to keep the power down, lol.

No, I don't have the brown sugar, though I do regret never ordering it. It is on the list of next to buy.

Unless the flavor changes dramatically, I will either 1.) Use commercial tobacco for a mixer (as you do), or 2.) See if my mom likes it, and if she does, I'll mix her a HUGE bottle using it all up (She still smokes, and vapes, so I think she likes these types of flavors). But, before any of that, the steep test shall determine its destiny

Levitas, vaping some unflavored juice in that attie should clear out the flavor and keep you from having to clean it.

Heh, I often give this very advice

However, this flavor is a jerk. It doesn't want to leave. I have been vaping various flavors out of it. It will eventually clear. Until then, I am not going to vape the RY4, as it is too delicate and not very enjoyable with the other flavor still present.

Thanks for the heads up, though.

I got commercial tobacco Marlboro 555 tobacco absolute all from Wiz lab can I get some help with some easy recipes for them..also got a sample of ripe banana is surprisingly it's pretty good ...

 

[graffinfected]

use the tobaccos you have as a base.. mix them as a base.. then add other flavors to tweak them..

 

[graffinfected]

LEVI, i have heard people use everclear.. but i always leave them soaking overnight then in the morning i take them out and let em dry... then dry burn it....

It's all good. I don't really follow recipes to the precise %, but, I am definitely open to hearing what you think will go good with one another. I also got a sample of ripe banana, gonna try it today if I have time.

LEVI, i have heard people use everclear.. but i always leave them soaking overnight then in the morning i take them out and let em dry... then dry burn it....

Normally I just run hot water through it and give it a dry burn. But, this atty has been through a couple of cleanings, and I fear it may not survive another. I've got one more new atty that I haven't tried (different brand than my usual JoyeTech). Guess I'm just waiting for one of my current ones to die first. Cost efficient.

Ok but Wat % should I use the tobacco absolute from wizard lasince it's already mixed with ethyl Malton

Oh, I misread your other post. I thought you were offering recipes to me, sorry about that.

I have never used Tobacco Absolute, though I have read that it should be used in very small amounts. Were it me, I would try 1 drop in 5mls, but even that might be too powerful? There is a thread bouncing around that gives a list of flavors from TFA, and the recommended %'s for each one (based on individual findings and experiences). It might be worth looking into.

Here's the link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/336110-flavor-apprentice-flavoring-thread-8.html

Apparently from someone's experience, TA should be used at, or under 1%.

 

[Lyndagayle]

Levi, have you tried TFA Apple? You stated you're looking for a red apple flavor and to me, that apple is a duplicate of a red delicious apple. Also, if you decide to try some TA, mix 2 drops of the resin in 10 ml of TFA cotton candy (or mix your own EM). I always mix my EM much stronger than the 10% recommendation and think it works much better that way but that's JMO. I never had any luck with commercial tobacco either. I found it too cigarette tasting. Some folks love it mixed with TA but I tried that too and it was a definite no go for me.
