Black Mint Tea
submitted almost 10 years ago by Fawgmachine

Omg I'm dripping this currently and my mouth is bursting with flavor. This a simple mint tea with a hint of cream and brown sugar. I use EM and super sweet in here. You can omit the super sweet if you want, I'm dripping it and I change my coils so often that idc if they get gunked. This is specifically a pallet cleanser for me, I am trying to perfect pallet cleansers for my juice line and this definitely make the cut. On the inhale its a light sweet/mint with a creamy mint exhale. I thought FA marshmallow would be PERFECT and it is. ~~Btw, I read that HiC said "FA black tea varies in potency, the cleaner the nic the more you need, and vice versa".~~ Black tea FA varies in potency, (here ya go /u/tranceinate) this IS the main flavor, thus use the % of BT you know will take the main stage. I know the .2s and .7s are annoying, but if I think it needs more or less than X.5 I will definitely change it to an odd number. Anyways sorry for ranting, here ya go (:

  • 4% Black Tea FA
  • .6% Brown Sugar Extra TFA
  • 1% Ethyl Maltol (10% I think)
  • .5% Super Sweet CaP
  • .7% Marshmallow FA
  • 1 drop Peppermint TFA/10ML

Okay, FA marshmallow is freaking amazing. I've been using with my cream stuff and haven't noticed too much of a difference, but its clearly the spotlight in the cream department of this recipe, if you feel its necessary, add orbreduce to taste. I'm sure you could have a flat bold black tea if you dropped em to .5, took out the super sweet and dropped mallow to .25-.5%, I plan to experiment with that later, will edit and add a variation for a " diet" version. I wanted to add these notes so I decided to post it, suck it :p hope you enjoy this!

The cleaner the nic, the more flavour you need my ass; idc what HICk says. Clean nic requires less flavour because you're not covering up smelly pepper & shit. Cheap nic needs more.

If FA Black tea truly varies in potency, then receiving a weaker batch means you would need more black tea, obviously.

Your recipe looks pretty good, however. FA Marsh is one of my favourite flavours for sure. If you weren't using it here I'd say add a little bit of a melon (FLV Cantaloupe!) and a dash of kaktus for some juicy wetnesssss. Maybe a drop of lemon or lime to accentuate the tea? IDK, throwing ideas out from my palette refresher recipes

Y E S. This. I have all of the above. SO would you say "one drop" (from a BCV rebottled INW etc) is abbbooout .5%:in .5ML? I learned this from adding drops to 5ml tanks to get an idea of flavors in my earlier DIY phases, seemed like .5-10ML is about 2 drops. So ++++

  • 1 drop kaktus INW/10-20(maybe even 30)/ML
  • 1 drop FE lemon/20-30ml (or 1 drop TFA/10ml, my general lemon rules)
  • 1-2 drop FLV wild melon/10ml(or Cantaloupe as you suggested, I love both)

All in the same brew? Sounds tasty, I'll try this in a 30ml and report back tomorrow. Care to help perfect this with me /u/tranceinate?

Uh, 2-3 drops from those BCV bottles gets me about .2% - .3% in a 30ml. I think. Was that point 5ML or 5ml you're asking about? I usually only make 30ml batches, 10 or 15ml if I'm unsure how a hair-brained idea might turn out.

All in the same brew. Usually is pretty tasty. I can try to perfect with you, or at least offer my knowledge. I don't have any kaktus or cantaloupe, or even lemon anymore. I just recently got INW Lime, though. Gunna pick up INW Lemon & Lemon Mix soon, along with reupping the kaktus&cantaloupe.

Here's my refresher/sinus infection vape/ADV:

Rejuvenate

  • 3% Lemon Sicily FA
  • 2% Lime Tahiti FA
  • 1% Lime Cold Pressed FA
  • 2% Cantaloupe FLV
  • 1% Kaktus INW
  • 2% Eucalyptus w/ Mint INW
  • Menthol, Koolada, or FA Honey to taste. (optional)

Lemon/Lime fades out, melon/kaktus mellow out, eucalyptus/mint pretty much stays but mellows down a little. I'd like to rework it with the INW lemons/lime when I get it all in. It's pretty much best freshly mixed & within the first week.

A drop IN a 5ml =.5ml IMO. I would add the already made juice to my tank. Say I had Lemonade, and wanted to see which strawberry would be good. I then would add 4% Ripe by adding about 6-8 drops to my tank and whirl it around a bit. That was in the past though, it is quite helpful when in a hurry and its still decently accurate. It's how i perfected a lot of my recipes down to the .5 mark.

Duh. I just saw itbsaid IF I didn't use mallow. Maybe half the cactus and wild lemon and drop mallow to .3-.4? So I can have it all for a smooth and juice Vape?

That would probably work. Mallow gets overpowered by other flavours fairly easily.

This conversation with you and /u/fawgmachine has been incredibly informative. Thank you.

I'll just try to keep the others down or make it a separate recipe. I really like the mallow and what it does to this. Going to try experimenting with smores today. Can you get a full marshmallow mouth feel with FA marshmallow?
