where can I find a black tea flavor?

[AndriaD]

A friend of mine make their tea like this::


Tea flavors are amazingly easy to make yourself. Just take some unflavored e-juice, warm it in a glass jar for 10 seconds in the microwave, and drop in the teabag of your choice. Place the jar in a warm bath for 20 minutes. The longer you leave the tea bag in, the stronger the flavor. When you're done steeping, pull out the teabag and squeeze it into the batch so you don't waste any juice - then toss it in the trash

Thank you! That is so extremely helpful!!! I had wondered if it could possibly be as easy as something like this, and I am delighted to discover that it is!

And twenty minutes might be just about right; the box's instructions say "3 to 5 minutes" but to me that isn't tea yet, it's more like colored water -- to get a good cup, you need to steep it at least 10 mins, or even 15. For this purpose, I might even go as far as 30 minutes.

I'll probably wait to do it until I know a little more (or anything!) about the different tastes of PG/VG; frankly I don't think I will care much for VG, it's apparently sweeter and makes the throat hit too soft, but until I try several different flavors and levels of PG/VG, I probably won't invest in any unflavored e-juice. But I love that EC Blends lets you specify the proportions of it you want!

Thanks again!!!!

tea ... like it as well, if you can : try earl grey flavour

As I said, I don't dislike Earl Grey, but it's not something I want all the time, either; it's a very interesting taste, and might be the only kind of tea I would ever actually put some milk in, to soften that sharp bergamot edge; it's very citrusy. But smoke/vape it? Hmmm nooo, I don't think so; that sharp citrus spike would hurt my sinuses, I think. (I inhale more up the back up my nose, than into my lungs).

Thx!

I suck down Twining's English Breakfast tea from the time I get up till the time I go to bed, and I spend the extra money to get that because American tea just has no "bouquet" at all -- the Twining's english breakfast tea is almost like incense, the bouquet is so rich --drinking it with a really good blueberry muffin is a rare treat.

I drink a lot of Twinnings Ceylon Orange Pekoe and Darjeeling teas. I wanted to find a really good tea too when I first started vaping. The first two I tried were so awful and so unlike what I was looking for that I ended up pouring them both out and giving up on my search. Hopefully you'll find what you are looking for but I am skeptical that such a tea flavor exists, at least yet. Maybe extracting is the right idea as others were suggesting.

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with the various reviews of ECB's black tea flavor; I can't abide lemon in tea (shudder), and apparently it's mostly a lemony kind of taste.

If I end up having to "DIY", that's ok; I've often thought that other people just don't GET my obsession with the bouquet of tea, or really, the intensity of my sense of smell, so it doesn't really surprise me not to find what I want already made.

Know why some roses are called "tea roses?" Because apparently when you unpack a crate of fresh imported tea, it smells like roses! I personally don't see much similarity between tea and roses, but I get the comparison; as I said, Twining's english breakfast smells almost like incense to me.

DNA-London Bridge is an English tea with creme brulee. It is mild and not nearly as sweet as the description would have you believe. At first I thought it was a bit too mild, but then I kept vaping it for a while and now I find myself craving it. It actually leaves that tannic, astringent taste/feel on my tongue just like you get when you drink black tea. Very natural flavor. London Bridges - Vapes of Wrath

Ahlusions Carmel pear black tea is so freaking good. Even though you said you want just plain black tea I would still recommend you at least try it.

 

[AndriaD]

Excellent lead, firephly; given that 'creme brulee' in the title, I'm sure I would never have considered it, otherwise -- but that tannic, astringent taste is just what I'm looking for.

Thx!

I dunno; it says "lightly sweetened," my experience with the "sweet tea" you find in restaurants down here in the south is that it's basically "tea syrup" -- I order it half sweet/half unsweet and it usually comes out pretty well. But I don't want to smoke/vape anything sweet; so far everything I've vaped except "Njoy" has been sweet, and it kinda grosses me out - like leaning over a spinning vat of "cotton candy," or what the brits call "candyfloss." I used to have a *massive* sweet tooth, but not so much anymore -- I'd rather eat a bran muffin than a piece of chocolate, most days.

I'll just have to keep looking; there are so many flavors out there, and so many of them are kinda weird, IMHO; wonder if I can find a flavor called "oak tannin" or "oak tree" or something like that.

The 2 reviews on site make it sound pretty mild on the sweetness, but who knows. I have read though that DB Liquids is made for RDA users as it has too mild of a flavor for tanks.

Ok, this is a whole new world of acronyms for me; I'm staying abreast with most of them, but "RDA" is a new one on me; what is it? I have no idea if my eRoll is considered to have a "tank," when it's such a damn tiny cartridge (I think the specs said it will hold .4mL or something like that).

Here you go, buy some nic and vg, etc from here. They have the least sweet VG of all I have tried and they are very reasonable also. that way you can mix your own. Try making 50/50 mix at first, you may end up wanting 70VG in the end
