FlavourArt Club ... formally known as the PureVapes thread

[caddisfly]

Hello club members! One year ago today I had my last cigarette on my way to local B&M where I picked up an Ego-T with a cheap clearo and a bottle of 555 for $40. I'd say it was money well spent even though the juice was horrible and I could have got the hardware for half price online.

I just wanted to share, so I'll also share a recipe that I've been enjoying lately. It's for those that aren't afraid of the dark. @Edd bet you'd like this one.

Off to Never-Never Land
Dark Vapure 1%
Maxx Blend 1%
Cuban Supream 0.5%
Virginia 0.5%
Coconut 0.5%
Papaya 0.25%

Needs to steep for a couple weeks for the papaya to meld in and the sweetness of the maxx to come out.

I have everything but the Virginia, I will order it. In the meantime would another tobacco work in its place? I have all the TFA tobaccos and FA Burley Perique, and Latakia. If not, and extra week to wait won't kill me.

Banana Apple Nut Bread

2% FA Banana
2% TFA Toasted Almond
2% FA Cookie
1.5% FA Fuji Apple
0.5% FA Fresh Cream
0.5% TFA Brown Sugar

Its best to let this sit a day to allow the Banana and Apple to make nice with one another. I suppose it would react well to whatever steeping voodoo you use. However, I know you won't wait so...

I have so few juices that I can take to work and not grow tired of over the course of a day, so I carry three devices. To lighten my load, I purposly set out to make a flavorful juice that didn't eventually numb my taste buds. I believe I succeded here. The banana, apple and almond work together well yet keep their identies intact. This is a bonus because?

This is an adjustable recipe. If you are crazy about bananas add another % or two. The same goes for the apple and almond. You can even replace a flavor, just keep the other ingredients the same. Toasted Almond is a top favorite of mine, but I bet FA nut mix or peanut butter would be worth a try.

The cookie, brown sugar and fresh cream provide the bread so messing with them might be more problematic. At least with with my limited skills.

Enjoy the recipe and let me know about any ideas you come up with.

Looks great, so thanks for sharing! I really like TFA Toasted Almond, too, but haven't used it since I started using FA almost exclusively. Will definitely give this a try!

I used to use Toasted Almond in a Vanilla Crunch recipe that used all TFA, but I haven't tried to adapt it to FA because my taste buds are so out of whack and I can't taste a lot of flavors. I'm really hoping 2015 will usher in the revival of my taste buds so I can try to share some recipes, too!

 

[misswish]

Big congrats, downInTn!!! Great milestone, good for you! And thanks for the recipe.

 

[misswish]

Seehad and caddisfly, recipes sound yummy! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I use Toasted Almond a lot and in percentages much higher, 5-12%. If you search the "site that shall not be named" in the all TFA thread (I forget what the thread is called) for a recipe named "The Stallion" you will find it uses toasted almond at 7% and is what I consider the best TFA tobacco recipe of all time. I have an Orchid V2 dedicated to it.

For the next bottle of this one I am going to up the almond to 5% Then in the following bottle I am going to try adding 0.25 FA Anise to the mix and reduce the brown sugar to 0.25. I tried anise instead of brown sugar and it did not work, but I tasted possibilities. The problem with that is you have to wait a week for the anise to lose its rough edges. I'm being polite to anise here. But it is good after it steeps.

 

[downInTn]

I've been meaning to ask you, where in TN. I'm there too.

I'm just south of Nashville, Smyrna.

There's nothing really like FA Virginia, that I know of, Latakia would likely be good but for sure not the same.

 

[caddisfly]

Thanks downInTn. I'll place the order and wait until I get the Virginia. It won't take long.

caddisfly - I found this - Stallion RY4 - 5% TFA RY4D,4% TFA Toasted Almond,and 1% TFA Black Honey Tobacco. Is this what you are talking about? I want to try this but will need 2 more flavorings first LOL

 

[caddisfly]

I was doing a flavor session last week and noticed that a drop of Bilberry, Custard and Oba Oba in some warm water smelled a lot like bubblegum. So I played around with it to turn it into Ice Cream:

Bilberry - 0.5%
Custard - 2.0%
Oba Oba - 0.5%
Vienna Cream - 0.5%
Fresh Cream - 0.5%
Koolada to add the Ice - 0.25%

Someone finally posted a recipe with Oba Oba and a good looking one,t so I had to try it. My bottle has been sitting around here with its shrink wrap still on. Your recipe is good. The Koolada seemed to pop out the flavors. I tried it both ways. I handed it to my vaping buddy and she said "Its different, I like it." and then went back to playing her game. She's not very wordy. So, two likes here. Thank you for sharing, Seehad.

That's it, almost (see below). Buy the ingredients and if you don't like it I'll purchase the ingredients from you. I have that much faith in it. I'm serious.

The amounts were posted in the collection of 200 recipes and it showed these amounts. The collection is available on that thread also.
8% RY4D. Not plain RY4
7% Toasted Almond
3% Black Honey

It may have been edited, I don't know.

I don't have the black honey, but might try it without anyway.

 

[caddisfly]

I don't have the black honey, but might try it without anyway.

Black honey is a good tobacco, but the least important in this mix. You could probably use others without a problem. Something that gives off a mild tobacco flavor because to my taste RY4D isn't even a tobacco. I'm not sure what it is and the recipe needs some tobacco flavor.

Well dayum neighbor. I'm in Lebanon.

Mild tobacco. Check. I have several sample sizes.

If you use a FA tobacco, I won't feel so guilty for posting that recipe here.

 

[SusanP4]

Btw, I had been looking for larger squeeze bottles (120ml-ish) for favorite mixes. I got an order in today and these look like they will work well.

http://www.sciplus.com/p/bottle-white-4-oz-hdpe-wdisp-cap_54204

They are 4 oz so just short of 120. So I'll mix at 115 ml. I've washed them and they are draining now. 10 for $3.50 is a pretty good price too.

 

[Huckleberried]

Why feel guilty since someone asked? LOL Besides, I only have FA. I only play around with tobaccos. Boyfriend vapes Virginia with Black Fire and that's IT.

Thanks Huckleberried, you ease my mind. Let me know what works.

I can justify anything. Classic people pleaser. Well, most of the time.

You know I'm afraid of the dark...but the rest of it is up my alley.

Hey, I finally got Cigar Passion on your recommendation. It smells like one I can vape, but I haven't tried it yet. Got a favorite recipe that uses it (but none of that dark vapure)? Do you like it standalone?

 

[Mommay]

Congrats! @downInTn

@SusanP4 I love looking through all the goodies at Am Science & Surplus. I never know what I might find. I've been in love with these for a couple of months. I keep hoping they'll be sold out before I get around to ordering. ;-)

I've got 4 of those. I love taking one with my DIY to my B&M. The guys think it is so cool.

 

[Daintanee]

Dude. Those waves are big!

Beach Balls

4% FA Coconut
3% FA Lime Tahiti Cold Pressed
2% FA White Peach
1% FA Jamacia Rum

My take on the standby "Lime in de Coconut"

The coconut and lime. What else?

The White peach. At least I think it is White Peach. I ordered white peach, the packing slip says white peach, but the bottle is labeled Peach. No white in the name. E-Liquid Mart has been know to make mistakes. They once sent me someone else's order. I got to keep it for a token payment and they sent mine the next day. They're cool that way. Anyway, the "Peach" is for it's sweetness. I can't taste peach too well, so in the end it didn't matter.

The Rum. Liquid courage, Dude!

Shake and vape, but better after a day.

This looks soooooo GOOOD!

 

[Daintanee]

I've been meaning to ask you, where in TN. I'm there too.

Can't be too far from me...I'm dead center...1 1/2 hours to Nashville....1 1/2 hrs. To Louisville! Heading to Nashville Sunday!!

 

[SusanP4]

Bowling Green?

Bowling Green?

Close...Glasgow...not much here

 

[HeadInClouds]

Close...Glasgow...not much here

It's got you, D

 

[Daintanee]

It's got you, D

It does..I feel so sorry for all you in the mid west, north, Colorado because it's freezing here! I could never go back to Michigan! Burrr! Anyone in Florida or a tropical island or near the equator that wants to take me in?

 

[Huckleberried]

Yeah, we're not used to this. It's 7 degrees now, wind chill -6. When you're not used to it, that's effin cold! My sympathies to those of you that live with this. I have my faucets dripping to prevent what happened last year.

 

[downInTn]

Big congrats on a full year, downInTn -- way to go!

Thanks! Cigar Passion is really good standalone 1-1.5%, shake and vape! Let us know what you think about it.

 

[Daintanee]

Mine drippin to Huck! I got on fuzzy socks and boots and I'm wearing them to bed!

 

[SusanP4]

According to the Weather Underground station just a couple of 100 yards from me, it's 7.9F here.

 

[caddisfly]

That's too cold to do anything besides curling up around your atty.

 

[Huckleberried]

Well, I prefer my cats and pup and honey, but my atty usually is in bed when I wake up, too. I "vake" up. >snort<

Considering you and Daintenee are in the center between @downInTn and myself, I'd say we're a chillin' crowd.

5F this morning that's very chillin' for my neck of the woods. Happy I don't have to go out this morning.

 

[Daintanee]

Good Morning to 1 degree and 15 below windchill! Time to bust out the liquor vapes & add to coffee, hot apple cider & such! In January of 99 we moved from Chicago to VA. It was a 50 minute drive to O Hare airport and it was so cold we could still see our breath in the car when we arrived. But it was beautiful because the sky was full of ice crystals. Don't miss shoveling through 4 feet of snow!

 

[Dixie1954]

I just tried Cigar Passion at 1.5% and to me it reminds me of Virginia with a bit of Maxx, but we all know my taster is messed up My favorite is Still Cuban Supreme with some Vanilla I am vaping 2% Cuban Supreme and 2% Vanilla Classic - to me it is yummy I call it Classic Supreme

***Newb Question for the Day***
Does a higher Nic level influence flavor any? I'm using a 50/50 vg/Pg blend with nic at 16.7. I made a large batch and am starting to think it's influencing (killing) my flavor.

Yes it does, depending on your nic.

 

[Zeeli]

Vaperstek

 

[BigNasty]

Vaperstek

From what I hear VT nic is not going to alter the taste from the nic but depending on the nic carrier pg or vg will dilute the flavors some.

 

[bobskinner]

Vaperstek

I use vaperstek and can taste it in most mixes anything over 12mg of nic. Flavorless I can smell and taste it 3mg and up.

 

[AmandaD]

Vaperstek

From my experience this affects a mix less than most. But all nicotine affects flavor, and obviously the higher nic the more nicotine. Some vape shops do taste testing with zero nic, which I always thought was a waste of time, because mixes tasted so different once you added nic!

 

[kabalm18]

Thanks, my 2nd grand baby. Need some testosterone in the family. Lots of estrogen & progesterone....

Congratulations...that's awesome. I believe you said you were 41 with two grand babies? I am 39 and my wife (32) will be having a baby in June!!! Heaven help us!!! I have an 18 yo in college, a 3 yo and soon to be newborn. I hope my I can hold up...lol.
