Boyfriend vapes Virginia. He really likes it. I mix a little Black Fire with it. I find it very sweet even, so.
anyone try the new FA E-motion flavors yet. starting with "Glory" tonight. its real nutty on the inhale and when you exhale it turns into what I remember cigarettes to be be like and maybe a little caramel y ish ? Not RY4 though. Its like a sweet nutty cigarette. Not to shaby at all standalone 2% shake and vape. I can tell it will take some time to mature to its full potential. just cant get over how much it reminds me of smoking though for some reason especially since uts got other things going on besides just tobacco. If it wasnt for that I could see myself using it a lot.
Mission candy cream. And my personal experimentation with oba oba was zero so....
In the past 2 days I've mixed one drop of oba oba with a drop of many other FA's in about 1/2oz of whole milk.
What changes to watch for?Careful as those age a few days, @Laughmore - the good can turn weird, and vice-versa. Oba-oba changes.
Thank you so much cardassian. Just got up to the page I posted on and found your post. Sorry I didn't reply sooner.@mink http://flavourart.net.au/ may be of some interest to you
Really hard to find Rayon in New Zealand. Might have to bite the bullet and buy it off ebay usa and pay a lot for postage.

What changes to watch for?
Also, do you have any notes on FA Guava?
Thank you! I'll include this in your notes I have saved on the computer.Oba oba starts out like Marshmallow, but it changes as it steeps. It's useful aged for malty effects, to enhance tobacco blends, and to modify nut flavors. If you use it in a shake-and-vape recipe, you can be surprised a day or two later to taste malt, smoke, other unexpected notes that you might not have wanted. Watch out around citrus and delicate fruit flavors especially.
guava... If you know Hawaiian Punch (the old red kind), imagine the sweet, fragrant, fruity flavor at the end of a swallow as you draw a breath - that's FA Guava. It's pretty darned strong, too. If you're doing tropical blends, you really need it and 0.5% will probably do ya. By the time I reach 1% I taste the Hawaiian lei along with the fruit. I'm (overly?) sensitive to aromatic/floral flavors, so others might enjoy using more than I can.
I've had okay interactions with them, but I know what you mean. I'm always surprised (again) at how some little rudeness from a complete stranger can mess with my mood. I think, "why do I care about this?" or "I shouldn't care so much"--but I just do. And conversely, when I'm treated well, it makes me happy in a way that is hard to account for.I haven't bought flavors from them. But, I was looking at them yesterday and got upset with them. The logo for TFA a gray square with "Fa" in white in it. No wonder there are people getting confused! I went to "live chat" and very politely explained to them that FA is Flavor Arts, and TFA is The Flavor Apprentice. Maybe they could intercede with TFA? Or at least use large letters to make sure buyers know? All I got was a rude answer that it's TFA's logo and that was that. Nothing polite, nothing friendly, no I'm sorry but.... So, they have lost whatever business I might have given them. Customer service is very important to me. Sorry for the rant.
I read something about your inner child. And you know me....had to get it!Thank you! I'll include this in your notes I have saved on the computer.
Now if we can only figure out why they call it "oba oba...."
Well that's just dumb!TFA's Logo IS "FA" now..... vewry confusing and not cool lol
I was at a fancy dancy resturant about a month ago and they brought out some Tiramisu desert. Everyone but me know what it was. I thought to myself "oh, Ive heard the gang in the FA forums mention this flavor" so I grabbed a big ole fork full of that fancy stuff and boy...... Did I make all kind of funny frownny faces . Just dont like coffee stuff.
Note: I am the only former Marine that does not drink coffee
You're most definitely crazy. See above post. Hehe. Did I mention that I am 1000% appreciative for every minute of your service? Because I am.So maybe I'm not crazy?

No worries at all friend. Any descriptives I can get about FA tobby flavors is MUCH appreciated! Thank you.Sorry it took so long to get back to ya man! It's a bit ashy but not real bad at all. Definitely a slight smoky character, I like it!

Well Ms Mink, the way Jessica Rabbit is lookin' at me makes me want to send you approximately sebenteen armfulls of rayon just for cropping and posting that photo.They appear to be sold out att the moment, but vaporsphere in Australia have 2 metres Rayon CelluCotton Wick for $3.50. Postage was $2.20. http://www.vapersphere.com.au/products/rayon-cellucotton-wick
Maxx is the "honey" of the FA tobacco lineup, tastes great in "CARAMEL-COCONUT COFFEE," and 0.75% added to this Cepheus recipe is pretty fun. @Smoky Blue suggested Cam and black cherry play well together, 3% Cam is too much. I've never tasted a real cavendish or had a cavendish vape I've enjoyed so can't help much.Cam blend - Not tobacco at all, kind of like vaping sandalwood. I MIGHT find a use for it...
Maxx blend - this one was almost definitely a miss-label, because all I taste is honey.
Very interesting read. Thanks for the share!Interesting, we're all concerned about diacetyl, but maybe it's an unfounded concern? Someone just posted this link on The Other Forum!

Was having fun.@KeyserSoze is having fun
Awesome. Thank you. That post is going in the notes. I might have to try a couple FA tobaccos. DS and shade are in the lead so far.@KeyserSoze : Here's my take on the flavors I have:
Desert Ship - Nutty and has a Turkish twang to it, that's the best I can describe it. Not ashy at all.
Dark Vapure - STRONG! Dark cocoa bitterness and flavor, it's good but keep the percentage low. A bit ashy and smoky.
Cam blend - Not tobacco at all, kind of like vaping sandalwood. I MIGHT find a use for it...
Maxx blend - this one was almost definitely a miss-label, because all I taste is honey.
Shade - Closest to tobacco besides Desert Ship. Caramel smokiness and very little ash.
Hope that helps!

P.S. I'm also a fellow rayonaut
As long as I didn't offend @Thunderball, I'm good. It is Memorial Day weekend after all.@KeyserSoze is having fun
Good morning, everyone! I've been lurking on this thread for weeks, and haven't even gone through half of it yet! I'm a new DIYer and today is my first mixing day. I've got about 30 FA flavors to play with and my head is spinning, but please wish me luck!
So you like Toons? That's a very generous offer and I truly appreciate it. You are a honey bunnymakes me want to send you approximately sebenteen armfulls of rayon

Welcome!Good morning, everyone! I've been lurking on this thread for weeks, and haven't even gone through half of it yet! I'm a new DIYer and today is my first mixing day. I've got about 30 FA flavors to play with and my head is spinning, but please wish me luck!
I have some interesting news: mixing a little spearmint with FA Strawberry and V. Cream makes the strawberry taste stronger and I taste zero spearmint! I can't relay percentages as I discovered this in a sloppy way, but it wasn't, like, a homeopathic amount of spearmint--I was certain I was going to taste it. I will report back when I can be more specific. (or if anyone has come across this phenom, please share). This is something I never would've thunk. I love those kinds of DIY moments!
verry nice !! i was thinking milk frother from the start but have yet to pick one up.. but do have the cup warmer right here waiting for my first steep.. did you happen to catch this post regarding strawberry ? very 'hmmm' moment .. and on my ever growing list to try
@Kingboomer. Check out @HIC mixes. He uses almost all exclusively FA flavors and they are great. He does awesome work.OK guys, I've read the game over custard thread, and FULLY intend on buying some for special occasions, but does anyone have a custard recipe that includes all FA flavors? I've had a few custards before and love em!
