Update on capsicum

Well, I received it today and mixed up a batch of melon and added 1 (ONE) drop to 5 mL. I have to say it is quite delicious. It does add a bit of a peppery flavor, but it does not overwhelm the melon at all. In fact, it's like it's changed it into something else entirely that is delicious. There's not much heat at all at this concentration. I know some people have expressed concern, but we are all (hopefully) adults here, and I handle nictotine at far more dangerous levels. Yes, there are some people who have reactions to it, same as any other allergy or reaction. Most would know of this long before they start vaping it (just from eating peppers). It can have anti-inflammatory properties, but I am just using a tiny amount as a flavoring. Anyway, if any of you souls are brave enough, I think it tastes great, but of course use your own discretion.

So it is altering the flavor? Very interesting...

Did it have an impact on throat hit?

Not so much a TH at that concentration as just a mild, mild tingling at the back of the throat. I think it would actually be a nice addition to some darker tobaccos as well. I'm going to keep playing with it!

p.s. You feel it in your nose a little, too. Not much at all, though! But I feel it.

OK, so the more I vape this (and the more it steeps), I'm getting a sensation like a cinnamon red hot on the inhale, but the exhale is still melon. It leaves a tingling in the back of your throat, but not anything near what a red hot would. It's interesting, and I really like it.

Let us know if it continues to get hotter. I love to eat hot peppers but I am still a little nervous about this.

Will do! I'm considering mixing up a little in some plain base just to get a feel for what kind of flavor/feeling I can get from this at different levels. I'll report back!
