HIC's "My Notes On" (comprehensive FA descriptions)

submitted over 10 years ago by MediumReginaldProud Sidebar Reader!

Sorry in advance if this is common knowledge, but I just found this at Mama J's. Regardless of HIC being a dingus, these notes are absolutely incredible. Everybody who uses FA should totally take a look at this.

P.S. have a simple rainy day recipe!

Nut Cream

(TFA) Bavarian Cream 3%
(FA) Marshmallow 2.5%
(FA) Coconut 1.5%
(TFA) Pineapple 1%

The list keeps growing... I'll have to keep an eye on that, thank you!

Unrelated, but I just wanted to say thanks for your key lime pie recipe! I got both of my roommates off of cigs with it haha. I find it best adding the limes in fresh to the steeped base.

This is helpful. Im feeling pretty lost and i dont have time to test each flavor at 10 different strengths to compile my own notes. Thanks for this goldmine.

Uh oh. Hope you got his express permission to post a link to something he wrote! He might make a passive-aggressive sticky post on VU about you now.

Haha I haven't spent enough time on VU to have an opinion, but I have heard they aren't big on sharing!

Dang, no forest fruit notes. still trying to figure that one out. i used it in place of pomegranate in his brookside recipe and was left just confused.

To me forest fruits is a berry blend... A "dark" berry blend if that makes sense. Think of strawberry compared to a blackberry or black currant. Strawberry would be a bright berry. I used it at 1% no issues but I could see going up to 2%. I used it in a cereal clone in place of TFA Berry Crunch with no issues... but I do not see it being a good substitute for pomegranate.

thanks for the reply.

i wasn't attempting to "sub" for pomegranate, if you check the discussion surrounding the recipe, there's brief mention of using forest fruit instead of pom. HIC even calls it a "dark" berry like you do.

using it as a "sub" for berry crunch is an interesting thought, though.

Yeah I don't know. Some of HIC's recipes are spot on to me while others I taste nothing like what is described. It could have to do with our vaping styles/devices. I believe he uses clearomizer and ego-like devices. (Nothing wrong with that but it's a bit different than my setup in which flavors are more pronounced) I usually have to back up on the percentages even moreso than they are.

This would have alleviated the need for me to post yesterday. I definitely plan on getting more FA flavors so this will come in handy. Thanks!

Thanks for posting this! It's going to save me a lot of time.

What's the difference between FA Marshmallow and TPA Marshmallow?

2 points

by VapeQueen214over 10 years ago

its alot more concentrated and stands out better, tfa marshmllow is more for rounding out a flavor or adding sweetness. FA tastes like a real marshmallow IMO

I've only used FA marshmallow. I would guess its pretty similar TFA, just more concentrated.

pretty similar from my experience although it's been awhile since I compared.

Still none of the tobaccos I got second hand, except the smoke one, alas. Oh, well, they were nearly free, and I'm sure they'll steep someday.
