FA's Ginger is in a vegetable oil base - not alcohol or PG - I assume can't be used to vape.
Nature's Flavors Organics has a great ginger flavor - strong, fresh, blends great.
Flavor West has a passably okay ginger, fairly weak.
Yeah, keep looking at the NF. ECX has been out of it. :-(

ALWAYS check on these things using the Flavourart Italy site! Multiple vendors sell the various diacetyl-containing flavours - mostly without any warning - but this is the first time I've seen one selling an oil-based FA flavour as vapable :(

I vaped an oil based pineapple extract when I first started out...Worst experience of my vaping life. Don't do it!

Regardless that you could get lipid pneumonia from it, it just sounds disgusting!

I'm not sure that's entirely true. There's a bunch of people who vape peppermint oil vapes all the time - I forget the reasoning, but there was a thread over on ECF which explained why it was actually not harmful (it made sense).

Thought I saw it there, but just checked, and dont see it. :(
Yep, just checked too and no joy. Wanna get the black pepper, cucumber, tomato, and cuban supreme all in one shot and haven't found them yet in one place. Will scour harder later tonight.

Interesting, thanks for mentioning it. I'll find the thread once I sort out my apparently expired ECF password, lol!

I see now on ECX that it's "oil soluble". You don't see it unless you're looking for it. That's bad.

Oil based flavors and VG don't mix. Oil based extracts always separate and rise to the top. Unfortunately, I know from experience.:(

Also, WHY THE EFF DOES ECX SELL FA GINGER? DUH!

There are a few things they shouldn't sell. Like white food coloring containing titanium oxide. They've taken it off since the debacle but still...jerks.

What else would go with cucumber besides black pepper? I like pepper but not on my cucumbers IRL. I had an idea but didn't write it down. Gone. lol

Yes, huge difference between a flavoring that contains essential oil (or pure essential oil) versus a flavoring in an oil base!

Most of us have vaped essential oils. They're in all absinthe, anise, most good citrus, licorice, some spices... For example, TFA Absinthe (and IMO FA Anise) is 10%+ anise essential oil, remainder PG. Now if you mixed that at 10%, then 1% of your liquid is essential oil. On the other hand, for a flavoring in a base of vegetable oil, that remaining 90% would be all oil. Your coils would be a mess quickly, whether or not your lungs were.

I know some insist that even minute amounts of essential oil are also potentially harmful. I disagree, and so do my coils, which are pristine even after multiple tanks of Lemon Sicily, pure eucalyptus oil, anise, and so on. I'm sure this can be overdone, though - and I'm sure someone, somewhere has suffered from a eucalyptus sauna, too (which is also vaporized essential oil).

Yes, as Slots stated mint is popular to mix with cucumber, at least in drinks that are apparently popular around here.

Right, thats the first thing I thought of. I think gin and tonic with mint and cucumber. Maybe a little simple syrup and garnish with lime. They are pretty tasty but I'm a big gin and tonic fan to begin with.

With all the flavors mentioned, I'm waiting to be invited to a party featuring a buffet. The table will have various salads, entrees, beverages, and desserts as well as a platter of fruits all in 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 mg nic choices. "Utensils" in the form of various cottons, silica, ekowool, etc, and several different gauges of kanthal both regular and twisted would also be available. Giant bowl of drip tips near the filling station.

You know the vapor diet is inevitable if it really hits the mainstream.

Ya'll mean spearmint, right? I kind of wanted to try the cucumber with wasabi. I love riceless sushi rolled in cucumber. lol I just don't need anything from ECX right now.

This. Zen and mint and melon. Maybe some lime cold pressed. Other stuff too, if you fancy... I have a recipe (Agua Fresca) that calls for that stuff. I might try adding cuke to it..
I have heard about these other aguas frescas. I always drink a lot of it when we visit family in San Diego but all I have ever seen/tasted are jamaica and horchata. I'd love a horchata vape.

Glad everyone is talking about things I don't like, so my to buy list isn't growing! Been sick so haven't bothered to mix lately. Lots of ideas that include marzipan though..

Bull City got them in as well, I think Huck requested it.
I just did an order there the other day (should arrive tomorrow!) and didn't see them there at the time. Funny how I'm already building a new list when this shipment hasn't gotten here yet!

I'm loving the marzipan right now. Currently vaping a bastard version of HICs cocoa cookie recipe. 5% cocoa, 2% cookie, 2% vienna cream, 2% marzipan

Lol - RyGon's Cocoa Bastards!
It looks a little like the Toblerone I was working on today. I've made myself sick of cocoa and marzipan now (temporary, happens to me every time I use a flavor for more than a few hours straight). I'm just vaping unflavored now, probably simple stuff for tomorrow.

Guess I should have verified first, I'm only seeing cucumber... No black pepper.. Sorry about that.
I do know Cold Press is coming soon. Excited for that!

Ha! I was going to call it Silky Cocoa like the almond drink but Cocoa Bastards is going right on the bottle now in blue sharpie. I do actually try them the way they are meant to be before I go full 'Merican on them. Your a genius, I just have to bring them down to my level.

That said, Drew is a great guy. If there's a demand for a particular flavor, just ask him! He looks out for his customers!
Also, if you've never tried VT nic, Bull city is adding a sample to your order, just add it in the comment section on check out.

I did request the Cucumber from Bull City. I got my Black Pepper at ECX, though.

@RyGon, if you do put in a TFA order, get Brown Sugar Extra and Cheesecake GRAHAM CRUST. HIC was using those a lot in recipes, so I ended up getting them and eventually getting larger bottles of them. Good stuff.

Then you can make Hucks Golden OREO Cheesecake! Pretty darn good stuff

I don't think TFA is "bad". Just not the best option
I've said it before, and I'll say it again here: TFA is a crapshoot for what a flavor is actually going to taste like. They all taste like a flavor, obviously, some of them like their namesake, many taste like whatever the creator's idea of that flavor might be. Flavor Art tastes like the actual food, most times. Caps tastes like the candy version you'd expect. TFA? You're not gonna know until you try it...

Yep, I do like the few that I have and use them quite a lot. @downInTn , I have the KY Bourbon. For my taste at least, it's pretty strong. As a mixer, I keep mine at 0.5%. For me, it takes over pretty easily, but it definitely tastes like Bourbon.

Have you tried the Castle Long Clone?
