Anyone else like teas? I know I can't be alone on this but I search for ANY post that has tea and guess what? There are none....unless I got it all wrong in which....it wouldn't be the first time my blonde hair come out from all this brunette color LOL.
Sooooo.....I took out the bottle of FA Green Tea. Broke the seal if you will. I threw something together but its not right.
4% FA Green Tea
2% FA Raspberry
1% FA White Peach
IT's A-L-R-I-G-H-T but it has this heavy feeling.
I want a light crispy green tea vape with a hint of sweetness and fruit.
Anybody want to take a crack at this?? Or throw some suggestions :)
Thanks in advance !!

Koolada could help but go light on it.
TFA green tea is more like a crisp black than a green, I kind of prefer it.

Hibiscus tea vapes are really good such as Katana eJuice

Thanks for the tip! For a while, I thought I might have to source that flavor from Poland.;)

Since shipping was the same for 1 flavor or 8, I also did a more a little shopping there.:eek:
I was pleasantly surprised that they also had FA -White Truffle in stock as well as... FA-Beer....(warning: This flavour contains Diacetyl and/or related diketones. Not suitable for vaping.( ~maybe~ depends where I look))

No FA-Bone Marrow though...

You're welcome Ron buddy. It's good to see more flavoring vendors popping up. Please let me know if the bottles are authentic. Also I would love to hear your opinion on the FA Beer. I would like to attempt a double chocolate stout one day ;)

Will do! Recently I have been trying Hangsen Beer. I was not expect much and so far it has met those expectations.:)

Thankfully no. :D

I do like their Pineapple, a few of Hangsen tobaccos are okay (with added NET's), but that's about my experience with them. Too many other manufacturers to explore.:)

What % do you suggest with the INW Green Tea and does it need a steep?

Lol

Yes their Mango is very good as well. :)

I enjoy it at 1.2 % with high PG. Add more flavoring if more VG is in the mix.

FA green tea is 'really' strong, I would never use 4% it tends to taste like mud at that high a strength...1% is closer to the non-mud area.

OH.......so that is probably the heavy feeling I'm getting. I am going to go back and try it at 1 % now. You know that I see all over that FA flavors are strong and to start low and then add if you want more. You would think that I'd remember that when I go mixing lol. DING DING OUT GOES THE LIGHTS

Thank You Sir!

I'll mix it with my usual 49/49 (2% DW) 18mg base. Since I just received a tracking # from DIY Vapor Supply, that should hopefully happen soon.

For folks thinking of ordering from this vendor, I guess I should mention....
After looking around their website for a few minutes, I got a "pop up" offering me 10% off my first order (only) if I signed up for their periodic email. Need I mention that I did? :D

Anytime buddy :)

1.5% should do the trick. It's a very potent flavoring.

Looks good to me. Thanks! I wonder if I can come up with a recipe for that since I have Quince? I'll have to work on that one.
It's probably a better idea to taste it first LOL Thanks for the tip

You're welcome :) Quince has a light citrus flavor to it. The green tea is definitely up front.

I posted this in the Flavour Arts thread a while back:

Picture a walk around your estate in late spring; fresh mowed lawn, goldfish in the pond, a proper garden, formal attire on your lover, and the Bentley at your door ready to take you for a night on the town.

Well, it's not quite that, but it will inspire dreams.

Bermuda Grass

3% FA Green Tea
0.5% FA Licorice
0.5% FA Jasmine
0.5% FA Jamaican Rum

Simple yet elegant. Enjoy the good life.

A number of people really like it. A number don't. Your choice. :rolleyes:

Well thank you. This recipe, while being good does have an advantage for new vapers. FA Green Tea is a very persistent flavor that isn't muted too much by high nicotine (16mg to 24mg) concentrations. It is very popular with vape pen users.

My order quickly arrived today (Standard Shipping was 2-Day Priority mail) and all flavors came re-bottled in a clear plastic dripper style bottle. I'm not sure of the drop size and called DIYVS. They did know either. The person I spoke to said they always suggest measuring volume in ml's and not with drops.

I only ordered flavors in the 10ml size and were from:
INW, CAP, TPA, FW, NF & FA.

The bottles look like:
http://www.diyvaporsupply.com/3-10ml-bottles-plastic/

While all fills were adequate, just eyeballing them I could see minor volume amount inconsistencies. Not a biggie.

Taking a sniff from the INW Green Tea & Quince flavor bottle brought a Big smile and very pleasurable anticipation. :D

I mixed some up as you suggested and your description is right on target. Mild astringency from the tea and a tad of sweetness. The quince combination is one I never would have thought of and pairs really well with the tea.

Vaping it is like... a rainbow over a waterfall in the Springtime.

Thanks Again!
