HIC's Orange Tic Tacs "review"

submitted almost 11 years ago by daathMixologist

Last night I was working, and decided to spend a couple of minutes mixing up HIC's Orange Tic Tacs. I only made 10 ml, and I was a bit surprised of how little flavoring I had to use (6.4% total flavoring), meaning that some flavors just had a couple of drops.

I shook it up real good, filled a clean Nautilus, and put a fresh BVC in it. Primed it by taking 10 puffs without power, then I set it to 10W and vaped.

I took a big draw, inhaled, and giggled while exhaling. This juice is simply amazing. If you like the orange Tic Tacs, you are going to love this. In short the flavor is completely identical, if not that strong.

Every puff for the next half hour, I had to giggle/laugh a bit at the taste - It is eeire how accurate it is!

Now I commented on HeadInClouds' thread on VU, and praised it. He told me that Ferrero, the makers of TicTacs is an Italian company, and Flavour Art being Italian, Ferrero most likely uses Flavour Art flavors - so then it was just a matter of figuring out which flavors in which percentages. He apparently ate a lot of tic tacs to figure this one out. And it has certainly paid off. The flavor is spot on.

If you like Tic Tacs, you should also try the HIC's White Tic Tacs-recipe. That is supposedly also 100% accurate replica of the minty goodies :)

Also check out HIC's other recipes - They're amazing.

HIC is a recipe genius. By far the best stuff I've ever vaped.

Also a genius at coming up with super fancy names that make you want to try his recipes. If he started selling his line of juice he'd be really successful I think. With the quality, the diversity and the bullshitting he could sell his stuff at a ridiculous price and people would be glad to pay.

I completely agree. Apart from his stuff being good, he sometimes really sell them in their description and suggestions to expand or replace flavors! Or even tell a background story :D

We're goddamn lucky he's sharing his goodies with us :)

HIC recipes will drain your wallet and make FA rich, and everyone involved will be extremely happy.

I don't feel sorry for you! I just spent around $500 on flavors :P And I still have some on my shopping list :-/ And I added a few to it today :( It never ends :D

Anyway, if you like the flavor or an orange tic tac, this is definitely worth it!

Sweet if you like it ........Enjoy it is what I say. its only money and we would have thrown the cash away on smokes anyway. FA flavors are fantastic I think. I have quite a few myself. We need to buy what we enjoy and FA makes a great product!!

Did you mix that at 30VG/70PG?

I definitely want to give this a go but that is way to much PG for me.

I mix his stuff max VG for dripping. Flavor is just fine.

It's good either way :) The 10 ml I did was more like 75% PG because I used 18 mg PG nic juice that I made into 12 mg. I believe HIC himself does high VG.

I like high VG, but I have some PG nic juice I must use up :)

I have bottles of the inner & outer mixed up in my stash, time to rewick and revisit them today! This was the second one of Hic's recipes that I made, definitely a nice treat!

Make sure you get around to the white tac as well!

I think I'll make a dripper version of that, when my next dripper bottle is empty, which is soon :) I can't wait :D

I just realized I have all the ingredients for HIC's Irish Lass!

That is also one I want to try! Let me know if you like it! Good thing it's shake'n'vape :D

I feel a little blasphemous saying this, but I mixed it up at 4mg 40/60 and it is just ok. I thought it was a little harsh initially. It may not be for me. I let a buddy try it and he really liked it, but I am going to finish off this tank and let the rest sit for a few days. Also, should probably note that I did 1.5% each, so I may dilute it if I still don't care for it. This was my first HIC and I got so excited that I didn't try the Irish cream standalone. I will keep you updated.

Edit: I've let more friends try it and they all love it.

Ok - I still want to try it though :D I think I'd be fine with 1% - the 40/60 is not his preference, it was just set to that, when it was input. I think he likes high VG - but most of them should be good at any ratio...

I would never have guessed there was peppermint in Orange tic tacs!

I was amazed at what went into his bubblegum recipe. Mixed it up with flavors I had available and my eyes went big at how crazy the constituent flavors combined into something entirely different.

How long was the steeping for you? Just mixed up a batch, and after a bit of speed steeping I can't tell if I need to let it work more, of if I goofed and dropped too much peppermint in. Currently, most orange is pretty lacking. Gonna let it sit a bit before I try to mess with it.

It's shake (well) and vape - It's ready immediately! :) I find that some people need a tiny bit higher percentages - to me it was absolutely perfect! :)

Yes, my second batch was a bit off too - not exactly as tasty - I was simply floored by the first mix - so I know it can be done ;D
