And what US cleaner are people using to speed up steeping? I have looked but most of the small ones have a 3-5 min shut off. Thanks for all the help.

HERE ya go. Been using mine for about 7 months (also cleaning jewelry and atomizers with it, so it gets plenty of use). Runs like a champ, 50 bucks, 30 minute cycle, free shipping, one year warranty, plenty to love.

Any tips for a noob DIYer I'm using 100mg VG nic and VG base "no PG for me" I have French pipe, apple, menthol, coffee, and hazelnut. Also I have skinny girl stevia as sweetener.

The only suggestion I have is with the SC's to try them without the sweetener first as they often do not need additional sweetening.:)

I just ordered my first non tobacco order from VZ, I love their tobaccos but now I'm set to conquer fruits!
I have the following

vaping zone super concentrates

lemon
key lime
mandarin
menthol
apricot

and hangsen

pineapple
juicy peach (I know this one, it is my favorite so far mixed with some menthol and other fruits, recipe here)

any help, reviews or suggestions on the flavors would be really appreciated, I know the mixing ratios but not the flavor profiles

I have to say that even though fruits are not my main vape profile I thoroughly enjoyed almost all the fruits I tried from the SC line. I think you should go easy with the menthol unless that is something you are used to going heavy on...lol The fruits all play well together in my opinion and are mix and vape which I love. If you are fruiting up your tobacco go light on the fruit. I have tried mixing these different ways but usually end up with a primary flavor and two background flavors as I have a minimalistic palatte apparently. Please keep us posted how it goes.

yup, I don't add sweetener to any, anymore :)
Wonder how a little black cherry would go with the black cigar?

Sounds good. I like the Cherry Cigar by itself. One drop per ml and sometimes add HFC to change it up. I still have some Black & Mild (huges bottles I bought year ago) and mix B & M with HFC too.

I like just about like all the ones I've mixed up after letting them sit about a month :) Some I vape right away though :p

OK has anyone tried the Chocolate Coffee flavor yet? Sounds like something I would like.

:confused: I really wish there was a crying smiley here for this...... Yes I have the chocolate coffee... It is extremely!!!!!! Powerful I wouldn't even recommend 2% in my opinion... In saying that I haven't dared try again because it was a familiar big time. I am considering doing it again as soon as I get home because I have other atomizers I can now try but that's about it... I am also open to recommendations on how much to mix because my first turnout wasn't great even though I had high hopes.

Oh that sucks---coffee is one of those really hard flavors to get down right in any brand. The only one I ever really liked alot was Kona Cream by Nature's Flavors and that too is pretty potent needs very little and takes a good week to steep for me. Might have better luck doing a mix of SC coffee at 25% and SC Chocolate at 75% of the 2% to 3% total. Let me know it it gets better at 1% or with time. :blink:

Sorry I'm a little late (those posted back in Sept) as I jumped in at the last post and now reading backwards:blink:

I have the coffee choc. and as usual, started my first batch with 1 drop per ml. At first I tasted nothing so put it away... but after I let it set about a month it was way too strong, as in bitter coffee? no choc flavor :(!:facepalm: Added cream to take the edge off. That helped but now I'm going to add just choc and more nic base to dilute it. Not sure if that makes sense lol.

I like the way juices taste with all VG but still use almost half PG in my mixes, for me I've found 100% VG is hard to use with certain cartos/attys etc because of how thick it can be. Just in case you ever have that prob try adding a little distilled water, I've done it a few times and its worked out pretty well.

Dang my old taste buds anyway. I'm back on the cigar flavor and I've finally got it sorted, but not with any of my original mixes. I finally mixed some at 4% with nothing else added and I'm happy again. It reminds me more of a pipe than a cigar, but, whatever, I'm really diggin' this stuff.

Anybody else a fan of the VZ SC Cigar flavor?

I am a very big fan of it and prefer it to the black cigar. I have just recently discovered cherry cigar and it's very, very good to me mixed with a little french pipe and a bit of cream.

Cherry cigar does sound good. I'll have to give that a try. I have the french pipe and I like it really well also. I also have some of the raisin rum and it mixes well with both the cigar and french pipe for a change of pace. But really for an adv, and for my taste buds, it doesn't get any more simple than to mix up some of this cigar with nothing else added and vape away. :vapor:

I am thinking cigar with a little cherry cigar might be a good one. The cherry is very bold in the cherry cigar but it is as nice cherry like a cherry black and mild, not a candy cherry. maybe 3 to 1 cigar to cherry cigar might be nice, think I will give that a try next.

That does sound good. My problem is that I have so many flavors that I want to try and a very limited budget, and the two just don't go together well lol. Cherry cigar is definitely going on my list though.
