First List of Concentrates - help?

[Miguel]

Hi there,

I'm entering the DIY world for the first time, and I'd like you guys opinion on this matter.
Here is the list of concentrates I'm purchasing (I've already bought 4 of these because I had to buy from two different online stores, the ones marked with * are the ones I already have):
TFA Watermelon
TFA Honeydew
TFA Sweet Cream
TFA Koolada
TFA Marshmallow
TFA Kiwi Double
TFA Pear
TFA RY4 Double (just to have a 'tobacco' one)
FA Canteloupe Melon*
FA Custard*
FA Vienna Cream
FA Coffee Espresso (because of HIC's opinion about it)*
LA Watermelon*

I'm going to try out a 'clone' recipe of Melon Boba and Starship 1 that I found out on the internet.
[Favourite Juices: Melon Boba (GLV) and Jester Juice (Vaping King) which means I'm more into the fruity ones I guess, but I liked Custards and Deadly Sin too (had a little bit too much on the cinnamon side though)]

--I'm willing to add 2/3+ concentrates maximum!--
SO, in case any of you have any recipes that include this concentrates or other ones that you think are 'essential' to add to my list I'd appreciate a lot!!
(Btw, I'm trying to avoid concentrates that contain Acetoin/Acetylpropionyl)

I've seen a few of HIC's recipes (thank you for being so helpful and giving to everyone btw) that I found quite interesting but they usually have a lot of very specific flavourings that I don't know if I'd use them to anything else, and I don't want to stay poor because of this

Thank you,
Miguel Teixeira

Pretty good.
The only other 1-2 I would suggest is the FA cuban cigar and fa tuscan reserve.
Both pair well with FA espresso.

 

[Celtic Fog]

I can tell you one NOT to get...stay away from Earl Grey......its like soap.

 

[RMarcusY]

Have fun, mixing is a fun and co$tly hobby

 

[JXN]

Everyone needs Flavor Art Irish Cream.

Stay away from kona coffee tfa

 

[misswish]

FA vanilla classic. Great all-around vanilla.

 

[BigNasty]

Stay away from kona coffee tfa

KONA! NO JUST NO!! beyond no fuck no!!
a single drop is enough to fuck up an entire Gallon of juice.

Yes! I've done it once. That's all it took. Still sitting all alone in the lab on a shelf lol. Might give it away to someone I hate bahaha

 

[BigNasty]

I made the mistake of 10% kona once.
even a whiff of it now makes me gag and wretch.

 

[junquedujour]

i wonder how the kona would work in the morning pot of coffee?
that might be a usable way to get rid of it since ya don't like it for juice.

 

[BigNasty]

TFA kona, is asshole, wrapped in dirty diaper with a shit chaser.

 

[SusanP4]

Flavors I try to keep on hand are TFA brown sugar extra, FA cookie, FA vanilla classic FA custard and FA caramel.

That 2-3 recipes right there.

Fuckkk that I did it at 1% with like 12% other flavors and it demolished my juice and my new wick. Had to rewick it and dump that shit out. Kona never had to worry about me giving with it again

 

[plinsday]

I still wonder if anyone out there likes that horrid flavor. That should be a string in itself: calling all kona coffee lovers

So BN what your saying is a "no go" on the Kona , is that right ? Just want to make sure before i scrap it. Please verify

thank you

God it smells like a week old pissed in adult diaper.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing , just looking for clarification Sir.

I'm not really into the tobacco ones, I've decided to buy RY4 Double only so I don't have ZERO tobacco flavours, thanks though!

Thanks! Yes I was thinking about that cookie and vanilla classic. Caramel and Brown sugar isn't something I really enjoy as a flavor, and even though sometimes we like vaping what we don't really enjoy 'eating'!

About the Irish Cream is the same thing as caramel, I don't really enjoy Bailey's :s..
Thanks for the other opinions also on what not to buy [Say NO to Kona!]

 

[SusanP4]

Even if you don't care for the caramel & brown sugar as standalones, they are useful in many mixes.

I'd go to purevapes.com and order the hell outta some flavourart fruits. Its like $1.50 for 3ml (which with fa goes a ways) you said you liked fruits, so that way you could find some you like. I recently transitioned to fa instead of tfa for most things and IMO its a lot more realistic flavors. Also I'd add in meringue. Its extremely good mixer with fruits

 

[BigNasty]

@Miguel the fa line of tobaccos, latakia, burely, 7 leaf, dark vapor (a love hate with me) virgina and tuscan can be a great mixers.. stand alone they are pretty robust, but in a mix you can round and add some richer notes with them also.

 

[Cramptholomew]

I can tell you one NOT to get...stay away from Earl Grey......its like soap.

With FA Black Tea, Orange, and Mandarin, it makes a pretty spot on Earl Grey. By itself, it's not good.

 

[Miguel]

Yeah, honestly I've been doing some research and I think I'm falling more and more in love with some fruity recipes that I see.
There's no reference to Vaping King's Jester Juice recipe anywhere, but it's really an ADV imo that I would buy 1Liter of it right now if I had the money.. I found some quotes from people describing it so I'd add some of these flavours to my list:
"It's fizzy!! A sherbert like finish was a really pleasant surprise. So tropical fruit on the in, Refreshers sweets on the out." / "hubby loves it he says that it has a orange and pineapple taste and i just get a sherbet flavour" / "Taste like orange sherbet" and the vendor said "Mixed berries with orange as the main flavour, and a hint of cherry. as an after note." and also that he feels darkberries comes through the most.

With that, I've decided to add some fruit concentrates to my list, I just have to decide from where
Thinking about Capella Harvest Berry, FA Orange, TPA or Capella Pineapple (because FA has some really bad reviews on this one) and also maybe FA Lime Tahity Distilled because of the 'fizzy, zesty lemon'. But honestly still really lost on the brands of concentrates to choose xD

I really want to buy everything, from the ones @SusanP4 referred to the more tobacco-ey ones @BigNasty did, to try everrythiiiing, but I'm on a 'tight' budget here and I made the decision to stick with the fruity ones

(PS: I'm not from US, so can't buy from those sites @alex31804, but thanks, decided to join the forum though because it seemed like a really cool 'community' here)

 

[alex31804]

@Miguel sorry bro I should've checked your profile, sorry about that bud. But welcome to the underground

 

[BigNasty]

Dude FA is Italian based and other than some shipping and that fucking horse shit that is VAT in the EU, you should be able to order direct from FA.

 

[itsmedant]

You can't go wrong with caps vanilla custard. It goes well with pretty much anything! I usually get it in the 4 oz bottles! !

Good luck mixing!

 

[Miguel]

@BigNasty I know, chefsvapour got all the brands though, so I can order from there because I'm not gonna want only FA
I just gotta check some reviews to know which concentrates and from which brand tastes the best and less chemical-ey ^^

 

[BigNasty]

FA I find is damned good less chemical note. Some TFA can be hit or miss.
Please ask here the reviews can be culled for positive only and the descriptions can be off.

 

[Miguel]

Ask here as in this thread or forum by creating another thread?
Well, seeing from the Jester Juice description quotes I posted up there, I thought about this:

Thinking about Capella Harvest Berry, FA Orange, TPA or Capella Pineapple (because FA has some really bad reviews on this one) and also maybe FA Lime Tahity Distilled because of the 'fizzy, zesty lemon'.

Maybe INW Orange
Any opinions? :x

 

[BigNasty]

both, any all.. it is pretty free form in this forum.
