I personally don't like woody vapes, this to me is more toasty alcohol to me. Might try adding some FA Oakwood to it?
TY Sir I need to put in an order to get the other flavors also so I will pick it up. What % would you recomend?
I use 2% in one of my mixes. That seems to be enough. You might want to go lower, if you don't want it to be a prominent flavor - one that you recognize right away.
Absolutely might adjust the percentages a bit though. If using FA almond, I'd definitely add the AP. FAs Almond isn't toasted.
Did you check Bull City? I can't recommend them enough! Seriously great people over there. Doing VT nic samples atm with your order as well, just mention it in the comment section on checkout.
. Try it both ways, you never know which one you'll like better unless you try them both .
Amazing tip!! I will try that some time!! Thank you so much
- I would just make sure that the wood isn't chemically treated. That's the big one. If it's treated with chemicals, there's a high risk factor. The chemicals could leach in to the e-liquid and that's definitely not something you want. Of course, there's chemicals from the charring and basic wood composition, but treatment chemicals are what would be of a major concern.
I wonder if just soaking some plain PG (or whatever you choose) in the chip could then be used as flavor, instead of trying to "barrel age" an already mixed batch of liquid? Hmmm. Maybe I'll have to buy some chips and find out!
Definitely keep us updated if you do! I'm sure it'll be a diluted flavor, but curious as to how it works out
and this (castle long) is my absolute favorite juice!
and used 1 part = 0.5%. I subbed in FA Vanilla Classic and Coconut. I may try tweaking it a bit next time, I'd like a bit more coconut in there, but it's really good after steeping for a week.
The issue with the amount of tfa coconut extra was because at a higher percentage it added more of a bite than any more flavor, the coconut was lacking in the all tfa version.I went by the TFA version because I have most of those
That's what I subbed myself. Works wonderful.
You can get oak chips from a homebrew store, that's where I get mine.
Cool! Just got my order in from BCV today, and have 60 ml steeping in the crock pot.
Thanks! My crockpot only has high and low, so I've got it set to low without the lid, but I think I'm going to put the lid partially on.
I went half way in between the original clone and your stronger recipe and it was very good Oggy, now I'm working my way up to your strength and seeing if I can find a sweet spot for me. I'm like you, I like a little stronger vape. U had a good idea here, I think the recipe will improve for some people at stronger %s.
I have made several batches with flavorings from 12% to 38% .... all delicious, some better than others... I am having a hard time figuring out what makes it harsh for me, and or if steeping will help eliminate the harshness...they dont last long enough for me to steep
I did stop using AP though, its too strong and overpowering and I think the AP and coconut extra are both sources of harshness to my palate. I use coconut (not extra) and stopped using AP, and use tpa toasted almond.
Also, I am not sure having more flavor after a certain percentage increases flavor at all..... the same recipe at say 15% flavor is about the same strength to me at 35% flavor...................... maybe I am crazy? I have mixed sooo many bottles its hard to keep track at this point.
