What flavors are already too perfect to mix with anything else?
submitted about 8 years ago by skijumper97

Which flavors have you found to be so good, they didnt need any tweaking with additives, or mixing with other flavors?

Some of the Hangsen tobaccos, such as Tab-Blend, and RY3 (not RY4) needed nothing. They're perfect as they are, although I might use them to better up other flavors or make my own RY4.

Hangsen Cigar is in my opinion the best of them all. I think its what vaping is supposed to taste like.

Superconcentrates from VapingZone (i.e Xian Xiangfu flavors) RY4, USA Blend, and Flue Cured are perfect alone.

FlavourArt Dark Bean (espresso) is great by itself.

Currently trying FlavourWest Butter Pecan, and its perfect as a standalone.

I think FlavorWest Butterscotch Ripple (judging by the smell from the bottle) will be another stand alone winner.

What percentages for the Sweet Tangerine and Vanilla Custard? I'm intrigued.

by FACE_MEATabout 8 years ago

6-14% and 5-10%, depending upon OG/VG ratio.

INW Gold Ducat between 1.75-2.5%. This is by far my favorite sf vape. It's very complex, and when you mix it with other flavors, it typically mutes some of that complexity.

I'm still holding on to the hope that they won't fuck this one up like milk chocolate.

I picked that one up on my last nic order. Tried to mix it with another flavor, thought it was just okay. I'm going to go mix it solo and give it another chance.

This thread is helping me immensely right now. I'm just getting started with diy and want to keep it fairly simple at first. I am mainly into tobacco's, so this is really useful.

It would be even more useful for beginners if they all put the %'s on here!

I do use these in mixes, but like them quite a bit on their own:

INW Black for Pipe

FLV Red Burley (actually prefer this one alone. Lose it a bit in a mix)

FE Captain (maybe a pinch of Koolada/Polar Blast)

FLV Classic Cigarette is shaping up to be nice by itself. Kind of reminds me of FA Burley, but actually good.

INW Fortuna Strike (pinch of DNB if you're nasty)

INW Black Jack Tobacco

What percentage do you suggest for the black for pipe and how long should I steep it?

by ChemicalBurnVictimabout 8 years agoresident tobacco specialist

Single flavor 2.5-3% and steeping 10-14 days works for me.

Everything can always need tweaking. I think what you are looking for is "what flavors are good by themselves." Everything can improve with additions

2 points
 
by HashSlingingSlashurabout 8 years ago

Very few are good alone ... I'll give you my short list

  • JF ry4 double , fuck TFA's version

  • FLV milk and honey

  • DIYFS Holy Vanilla

Everything else that I think about putting on this list just wouldn't cut it. These flavors are easy to improve upon but I could easily vape 60ml+ of them solo.

I would add FLV Chocolate Deutsch to that list. It's hard to find a fault with that flavor.

It's that straight chocolate or chocolate cake? Does it wreck coils?

6 points
 
by chewymidgetabout 8 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

It's a German chocolate cake. It's got a realistic tasting dense cake along with a faint coconut flavor. No, it doesn't gunk coils like most chocolates do.

I can't get FLV Milk and Honey to work for me. What % are you mixing at I've tried 2 to 5% am I missing the mark somewhere?

2 points
 
by HashSlingingSlashurabout 8 years ago

0.25-1% usually. 3% solo

Also, do not go by Flavorahs recommended %... They're all fucked

flavorwest's skittles for me

by l1qu1ddr3amsabout 8 years ago

Seconded.

I screwed around trying to make a Skittles recipe for several weeks, ordered TFA Rainbow Drops and FW Skits Candy (their name of the month for that flavor I guess), and the FW just worked all by itself.

Rainbow Drops needs help, but probably not much.

  • Cream Cheese Icing (LA)
  • Yellow Cake (FW)
  • Butterscotch (Natural) (FW)
  • Vanilla Custard (CAP)
  • Sweet Strawberry (CAP)
  • RY4 Double (TPA) -- this i'm actually not a fan of but i can tell it's a complete and great flavor by itself
  • NY Cheesecake (CAP)
  • Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TPA)

These all answer what I think is the spirit of your question but each and every one can be made even better with additional flavors.

Some of these are quite simple alone, like Vanilla Custard and NY Cheesecake. But sometimes I want just a nice gentle, sweet vape and they do that perfectly.

just opened a 70/30 3% FA Pandoro single, love it!

by mlNikonabout 8 years ago

Pandoro is amazing if your going for a lemon cake. It is so rich and layered by itself. FA Labyrinth is another good cake flavor that could be good by itself.

Medicine Flower Honeydew is pretty perfect standalone. The downside is that, as with most MF flavors, it needs quite the steep.

MF Cantaloupe is really good as well. I don't have Honeydew, but may try a bit in the future.

by chewymidgetabout 8 years agoProud Sidebar Reader!

MF Cantaloupe is the only medicine flower concentrate i have got. What percentage you using it at? I have found it a tad bit too sweet at 1% which I read it is lighter than most of their offerings.

These are some of my favs: FW Butterscotch Ripple, FW Toffee Dream Cream, FW Butter Pecan, RF SC Black Label French Vanilla (not the regular), TFA RY4 Double, TFA French Vanilla Deluxe, RF Deep Fried Twinkie and Butterfinger (but only if used in 7-10 days as it fades after that ), RF Bread Pudding VG version if used between the 2-4 week steep mark. RF Brownie SC if used in 3-10 days. Purilum Lemonade, FA Metaphor, Purilum Strawberry Lemonade, Purilum Sweet Tobacco, Purilum Toasted Coconut Cheesecake, Purilum Tropical Blend.

FW Butter Pecan and Toffee Dream Cream intrigue me, care to say more about them?

1 points
 
by mysticrosellabout 8 years ago

Yum and Yummier? Lol....just kidding. Toffee Dream Cream I like at 15% and best after a 4 week steep. It's a rich and creamy toffee ice cream. Great thickness and mouth feel, and depth of flavor. Has different layers of flavor. Butter Pecan is also similar to an ice cream. It has a lot of uses as an accent, but great as a SF also at 10-12%. This one is good at 2 weeks, but much better after 4. Thick, creamy and rich. Very much like an ice cream at higher percentages, authentic buttery brown sugar candied pecans in a smooth base. Both are multi layered flavors and sweet rich desserts if you have a sweet tooth like me. Both of these need a longer steep to really be their best.

INW Lemon Cake at 3.5% Just blows my mind. This is by a mile the most authentic and tasty cake I've ever vaped.
