New to DIY got a few questions

[Angrygod50]

I just started DIY and after reading most of the forum (thanks for all the help) things are going well so far. First some background. I drip using SS316L mostly TC. My nic is from Nicotine River everything else from Bull City. I like high VG and shoot for 70VG and above 3mg nic.

On to the questions.
1. I have Pistachio from TFA and it has good flavor but a bit weak and ice cream like, could someone suggest a nutter bolder flavor brand I could mix with it that would bring out the nut more.

2. I love peanut butter and the first hit is wonderful but it soon washes out and I get the mouth thing but no nut flavor. I also have this problem with any PB e-liquid I buy. I was thinking of mixing some peanut with it and could use advice on what to buy. Also if anyone has this problem and any suggestions I'm open to advice. I'm using DX Peanut Butter from TFA. I mixed a 5ml test batch at 30% and same thing, strong first hit then nothing. I may be screwed on this one.

30% of one flavor is way too much. I would start at 5% and then work my way up if needed. I have been finding a lot of times less is more...

All ready tried that - started at 5% and worked my way up. Same thing at any % good first hit then nothing. As I said even buying some store bought PB liquid the same thing happens. Your input is appreciated but doesn't answer my question. I may just be screwed on peanut butter flavor.
I did a 5ml at 8% PB and 4% marshmallow and good first hit then only marshmallow after that.

Here's my peanut brittle recipe, not real peanut buttery but really good (IMO), I'm just starting to vape my 5th liter of it.
All TPA
7% peanut butter (dx)
7% RY4 dbl
3.5% cotton candy (or sweet flavor)
1% AP (acetyl pyrazine)

Thanks

Thanks I all ready have everything but the cotton candy I'll give it a try. I'll try marshmallow or honey for the sweet part and I already have cotton candy on my wish list.

Cotton candy is a great sweetener for all recipes where a sweetener is needed , it burns way cleaner than sweet flavor (sorbitol)

Good advice thanks again. AP is in the mail and should be here Wed.

 

[dwcraig1]

AP is powerful stuff, be careful not to add too much or you'll have liquid Fritos

FA Pistachio is stronger than TFA, and a bit more wild tasting.

Sounds like what I'm looking for .

Yeah. Pistachio FA. Check out HICs tasting notes. Pretty spot on

There are a few recipies on ELR. Oddly enough there are not a ton of pistachio recpies out there.

That being said I have my first mix steeping now with the tpa version since I wanted more of the pudding version. But I dropped in acouple drops of AP to bring out the nut. If it's still not enough but I may put in 0.25% nut mix FA or other FA nut flavor.
