The Bohemian Cobbler is delicious without it. I never use the boozy flavors, some recipes are impossible to try haha but this one is very good just the same.

I'm liking the bohemian cobbler. The apple pie and cookie really do combine for a real cobbler flavor. Cookie does some amazing things in combination with other flavors. I had everything but the blackberry and pomegranate. I subbed apricot and it tastes great. I still taste mostly blackcurrant.

Blackcurrant, black cherry, bilberry, and other dark fruits are 'bullies' of the flavor world. Using them with light fruits like apricot, (regular) cherry, peach - if you want a balance of the flavors, try at least a 2:1 ratio of the light:dark fruit. Some require 5:1 or more - apple is usually one of those. FA Apple, what a wimp, lol.

I used Billberry, Blackcherry, and Blackcurrant.

edit LOL yeah it was like a backyard brawl of berry flavor!

I could add a couple of drops but I like it this way. Didn't mean it was a bad thing that I taste mostly blackcurrant in the fruit department. FA apple is such a wimp isn't it?

 

[Edd]

I can't believe how many flavors I still need to get. Next time I order I'm just gonna get every one hahaha

Just wanted to up date everyone on Pure Vapes, since we'd recently heard about some shipping issues with timing. Before I placed an order I emailed Nihil to ask him when the order would ship, and he got right back to me with his answer that as long as it didn't have 20 flavors it would ship next day - and indeed it did, so I'm one happy customer!

Mine was 10 flavors and took two weeks!!! Either way, I will give them another chance and will e-mail before ordering as well. Thanks!

I know, and that's why I emailed him first, otherwise I would have just got the 10mls from elsewhere!

 

[Smoky Blue]

so I realized I still havent tried white grape....... any have it? is it a must buy ?

I have.. I use it in my white sangria..
you can google for that to see how it goes..
somehow it is considered my "pucker" juice.. it does leave that mouth pucker!

just looked for my recipe for it, and it's burried.. grrr.. but if i come across it, will share!

ah man ya red wine in the biscochitos recipe. you guys got to try that. make like 20 or 30 ml of it as the posted recipe. the orange was optional but the orange is almost the secret ingredient. to be just right it has to have it. vape a little shake and vape. vape some a week later and then save the rest for rainy days or when you want something different. the longer it sits the better it gets. I have some pushing 3 months steeping and the last time I tried it it was so good. steeped biscochitos is my most perfect recipe I have ever made. you can crock pot it but it will still take a month of just sitting to be premium. I know this is a bold statement to make but I would put it up there with HIC's white tic tacs as far as a perfectly matched "clone" of the real thing. sometimes I get lucky lol. I need to make a bunch more for christmas gifts.

Ok, you got me - I'm going to make a 30ml bottle and put it away LOL I did make it before, but that was before I had the red wine, so now I have it I can make it properly! Glad to hear it can sit for months - I have some recipes that die in that amount of time, and I hate to waste 30mls!

cool let me know in a couple months lol. its really good shake and vape but something happens down the road and it just comes together so nice.

You know I'm incapable of doing that, lol! Okaaaay - I'm gonna make some, hide it, and write a note on the calender to retrieve it by Thanksgiving. And I'll use the Red Wine in it this time.

With Orange, shaked and vaped, has been my habit. It's so good like that, I haven't bothered to steep or add the wine before.

 

[wllmc]

haha awesome , the true test . if hic likes it its good

Yeah Will, this is really good stuff! Will have to try with the orange. Standing by for any more of your mom's recipes...

Hey, @downInTn , @ClaireW or anyone that has used Virginia flavoring and builds their own coils... is this one a real coil killer for you guys? Boyfriend is having a terrible time with his coils lately. It's just a 2% mix at 65pg/35. It's what he likes... super simple.

Not that I've noticed but I don't stick with one flavor long enough to judge. I really don't think* any of the tobaccos are particularly hard on coils.

 

[Edd]

I really want to try this one too. I need more bottles..drip drip puff puff..I'm gonna mix this up by noon! drip drip puff puff.

Every few months I go through and dump failed experiments, each time is less and less though.

Which one you talkin' bout @Edd?

I'm always on his case about maintenance. I've never seen coils gunk up like his. He's always been a tobacco vaper. He made his first coil a week ago, still using that one. His first dry burn, so he either needs to give up or get more into it, lol.

What is he building the coil on?

 

[Huckleberried]

5/64, 32g, same as me, but he's using silica instead of cotton. Dry burning his coils is a CHORE! He's got an eGo batt, nothing major. He likes stock coils, but I've never seen anything gunk up like his, so we wondered if it's the tobacco liquid.

 

[Edd]

Willmc's Biscochitos, sorry I have no idea how to do the quotes from other posts . However I do have the rest of the tobaccos in a cart because I want to try them all.
I better figure out how to do all these fancy forum things hahaha, I've never really used forums other then for reading.

I ordered the 3ml sampler of all the tobaccos from PV last night. Mixed up 3% cuban supreme and actually found it a bit weak, but pretty good, so got the whole FA lineup to try out.

When they get here will be finding out how bad they gunk a coil. I build my RDAs between 0.4 - 0.6 these days and plow through about 10ml a day so shouldn't take long to find out!

I have been thru them all.. no major coil clogs.. and if you change out your wicking material..
try a few drops of distilled water on your coils to get the crust off.. it can be burnt off..
my coil right now is 2 months and going strong.. looks like brand new..

 

[Thunderball]

That guy is like GoodNews! on the other forum. Not sure if anyone remembers that fiasco. Entertaining to say the least.

Lol.... Goodnews! I followed his idiot ass to a couple other sites just to make sure they knew he was an idiot.y input wasn't needed. They figured that out all by themselves

i sure hope that is a single coil, 1.2+ ohm on that ego battery..

A lot of the tobaccos have caramel, chocolate, or vanilla added.
Plus others.
Caramels & Chocolates are gunkers...

Too bad you can't convert him over to micro-coils with cotton, so much easier to re-wick.
Stock silica coils suk IMO.

 

[Sully]

Just mixed this up exactly as stated and it is fantastic! You should name it and post to the recipes!

Thanks dude! That was my first crack at it. I've made 3 or 4 revisions. Trying to bring out the watermelon a little more which is proving a bit tough. Once I have it just how I like it I'll post it in the recipes with notes on optional variations.

 

[Huckleberried]

Oh my word, yes! Lol, I watched him build it every step of the way and tested it myself before I'd let him use it. I think he decided building isn't for him. I've urged him to wick with cotton simply for the ease of it and of course, the flavor. He's just not into it as much as me. Oddly enough, he's more of a tinkerer than I and also got me started with vaping at all. If he won't take my suggestions, he can maintain his own stuff dammit. I'll keep him anyway. He's a great cook.

Just wanted to update, I ordered from PV on Tuesday, and it was just delivered Now I finally have a few tobacco flavors to play with - and I'm trusting HIC on this one, because generally I don't like tobacco vapes LOL

Oh good!! I lost the original post you made on that one and meant to save it to my faves. I remember I wanted to mix it, too. Let us know when you name it and post it.

Man, I used to get so entertained by some of his posts. Then I grew tired. I discovered I didn't miss him when he "moved on".

Lucky! I may try a few tobaccos myself next time too. I haven't vaped those types in at least a year!

 

[Smoky Blue]

I am still stuck on my herbals..
think they replaced that tobacco tinkering i have done for the last year.
nice to sit back and relax with a good vape that is a bit different off the beaten path..
the ry4's are just too eh.. for me.. and the rest always leaves something to be needed.

here is a Cavendish, if anyone wants to play with it..
after vaping immediately, it was ok.. after sitting for a few weeks it's a bit better..

 

[Hermit]

I'm off-topic again... got the Atmos Lab flavours today They all smell really good, and strong, except the Vodka which is hard to make out (no surprise there!). Vaping a shake-n-vape of the Soursop (guanabana) now and it's very tasty... shame I have no idea what Soursop is supposed to taste like!!

Now, question... some of these are PG bases, Honey is in triacetin, and others are a PG/alcohol base. How should I steep the alcohol ones after I mix them? Open bottle, I guess, but how long?

 

[Smoky Blue]

Hermit..
Soursop is like a fruit..
here.. wiki can help better:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soursop

as far as steeping alcohol vapes.. I just leave them over night, sometimes cap on, sometimes off..
either way, if you let them sit for over night, you will be good to go with them.

 

[RyGon]

I'm sure everyone has had their fill of this stuff but can someone point me to where flavourart has published the testing for diketones in the e-cigarette flavorings?

 

[Hermit]

Excellent, thanks Smoky! I think I have just about enough patience for that

I meant really that I've never eaten or even smelt a real Soursop, which will make writing a decent review of it difficult! I can say I'll probably be happy with it at a lot less than the recommended 6% - not that there's anything unpleasant about it at that strength, it's just too strong for me - I already diluted it to about 4%, maybe 2 or 3% will be about right.

Use the a&l or Atmos lines just like fa.. keep your percents very low..

Soursop is very nice.. but we do not get them here often enough.
I will clean out a bin when they come in to my farmer's market.

@RyGon.. scroll thru here.. there was a bit of chat on that.
if not, I am sure someone will post up on this.

I refuse to comment my opinion on this.. will be good for a change!

Not sure which tobaccos you got but can vouch for the cuban supreme, and this is the first tobacco I've ever vaped. Is a tiny bit sweet of vanilla but very mild overall IMO. Looking forward to stronger tobacco actually.

Any guess on how far back to go?

For the record I'm tired of it too. I just don't want to make a statement that I can't back up. I've never actually seen any testing other than the live cell testing and I have looked a few times already.

I will keep them low - it's good news 'cos it effectively makes Atmos a lot less expensive than I was fearing!

This soursop is very nice too! Seems to have roughly the same notes as described on the wiki page. Mainly though, it's very vapable, standalone at least

Few hours, put a paper towel on top to prevent contaminates. Air degrades nic, I wouldn't do over 3hrs.

Oh wow, HIC gave me some information on this early on in this thread. Not the beginning but I think it was around the time I spoke about "Pandoro" which is part of the kitchen line, not made to vape, if you're concerned about it. Search the thread for Pandoro, should be near the first post about it, I think.

 

[CurlyxCracker]

OT, but anyone here get a Big Dripper?
