Ok... just mixed up a batch of your Banana Milkshake/French vanilla ( I did your standard milkshake the other day... Yummy Good)

Before I even ask.... I would say this is as close as you can get to a perfect vape. Its just downright good.... BUT......IF I wanted to heighten the Banana just a "tiddly tad"..... would you try a hint of \Walnut or would you put in another percentage of Banana.? Or, since this Banana is somewhat mild (although realistic compared to the "yuk" TFA)..... is this all I am going to expect out of the Banana ?

TFA Ripe Banana... I just cant stomach the smell anymore, like I cant drink Jack Daniels anymore. Too many bad experiences and too many bad memories. Makes me want to throw up just thinking about it.

I would add .25% Walnut if I didn't like real walnuts at all, .5% if I didn't mind maybe tasting it a tiny bit.
That'll give you a good idea of how those flavors interact - more fun than just adding more banana

Really! My mental image wasn't even close. So how do the flavors differ flavor-wise (as opposed to content-wise)? The little I've looked at, seems they're the same range of flavors as everything else we use, so what's the point of a shisha flavor line?
Click to expand...


Shisha is extremely popular.. specially in Europe.. it's picking up around here, too..

it's different due to there is tobacco.. bending herbs, spices and fruits.. with sweet, spicy, menthol, or heat..
pretty much like our ejuice.. some of the spices, i'd love to get my hands on..
will see about that within the next week. ;)

to give you an idea.. http://www.hookah-shisha.com/c-1340-nirvana-super-shisha-hookah-tobacco.html

It looks like that could become an expensive habit...the tobacco price of smoking (same health risks?), but with all the hardware expense of vaping.
As you try those, I'd be interested in how Inawera's shisha flavor line compares to the real stuff. Maybe over in the Inawera thread? Or are you going to extract them and vape? That would be fascinating!

Banana Milkshake is on my list to make next! I'm wondering if FA Banana will destroy a syringe like TFA Ripe Banana will?

Old hat for most of you ... I just tested the Fuji apple. Was ok at 3% stand alone.......was much better at 4% stand alone.......and 5% was just too much i'm a thinking. Gonna test the white peach next.

Did someone say ice cream? I prefer little creameries. However, if you have a Safeway or Von's, this stuff is sublime.

Oh, hell yeah !!

Just tested the Watermelon. Its another winner. Just so good. So realistic tasting. Im at 4% stand alone.

Im really eyeballing my TFA flavors wondering about a fire sale over on ECF classifieds.
Click to expand...
try a peach and mango next lol....... oh it goes on and on and on .... I use like 3 or 4 TFA flavors every once in a while just so I dont feel so FA snob-ish ha . but anything good is made with FA . the fruits are the best out I think if you like real flavored fruit vapes. I know people that like cough syrup to, ha

Ok, HIC - here's your challenge: I'm addicted to Rocky Road ice cream. Not the expensive Haagen Daz stuff (too gooey), just the cheap Thrifty one. Yum, crunchy, and delicious. But I haven't bought any in probably 9 months, because I always have to eat it ALL LOL So, I KNOW you can come up with a vape variety.... :D

I would guess (all FA):

choc - 3%
cocoa - 3%
marshmallow - 1%
almond - 1%
maybe TFA AP for that sweet part 2%
(VT nic, 70PG/30VG - or less VG)

I want an 'in your face' vape - higher percentages than I usually do, because I find vaping cocoa at lower power sometimes mutes the taste a bit for me. So, I'm thinking to end up at 10% total flavor, rather than 5-6%? I think I'm missing vienna cream?

Amanda, did Swiss Bliss work for you, and is that the kind of chocolate flavor you'd want for this? If so, make it with 0.5% Almond added, maybe up to 1% Almond added if you want more nuts. Once that's right, add 0.5% Marshmallow and try it. Increase Marshmallow by .25% at a time until you get it as marshy as you want it. It should be pretty strong tasting with those things added. Write down how much Almond and Marshmallow you added. Then set that bottle aside.

In a different bottle, make the ice cream base part. Try Vienna Cream 2% with Fresh Cream .5%. It should taste like melted vanilla or French vanilla ice cream. For more 'French' use just extra Vienna (don't go past 3% or it'll get spicy). For less 'French' use up to 1% Fresh Cream and less Vienna.

Then fill a tank with varying amounts of those two bottles to find how you'll want to mix them. I'd guess about 2/3 of the chocolate part, 1/3 ice cream base, but you'll have to play around. Once you get your favorite, I can help with the math if you want, it'll be easy to find your recipe.

You might want some FW Extreme Ice or TFA Koolada for the cool effect, but don't bother with that until the rest is just right.

I already have most of the shisha line from INA.. I only have 2 favs.. :(
Can say now.. avoid the tobacco drops.. and sad to say.. strawberry shisha :oops:

I have combed all of my fav haunts for flavorings that could come close to what I know is shisha..
and other than INA.. no one else carries anything else similar..

chances are, will be making nets.. should prove interesting.. as I do have some 5-7 odd nets going now..
I need a better label system, so as soon as I can figure out my printer.. it will be on!

second.. I need to rig up my own personal distill system too.. that is on the back burner for now.. :oops:

but i am excited with the new ideas.. and ya know, HIC.. I love your recipes and the fact you match to foods/drinks/etc..
but sometimes a bit of the exotic?? different?? helps keep me stirred up on our ejuice..

once I get started on this project, I plan on taking a bunch of pix to show step by step.. ;)

Lemon Sicily is easy. Start 3% or so, and you can go up from there if you want. Mmm - Limoncello liqueur.

I love to hear reactions to flavors - don't go somewhere else! The "B" team is those who haven't tried FA yet... you're A team now.

Ok... tried the Lemon Sicily. Its not an "in your face" flavor. Very subtle...nice and light. Kinda has a spring time feeling to it. Not all sugary or fake lemon flavored. Seems real to me, what ever that may be. Not acidic, not over bearing. I can see this one will be great to add to other flavors.

I went from 3%, then new cotton to 4% and now, new cotton on 5% I think I liked it best at 4% stand alone.. though its not bad at 5%....

What else is in this flavor besides a nice light lemon ?

I can see this will be going into a lemon merenge pie at some point....

I 2nd HIC's response, don't go anywhere! I'm having a great time getting everyone's thoughts, too. And as much as I really like the watermelon, and surprised at that, I was, the Melon was such a surprise. Really good.
