That makes them tied for 6th place in the Most Often Mentioned Flavors. There are five flavors tied for the top spot - each appearing on Noted 6 times. Can you name them?
I like morningwood the best
It's a great recipe
I don't think I've found a use for a wood flavor as yet.
I assume they're best paired with tobaccos for depth, would that be correct?
Also Bourbon. And other alcoholic things. But especially Bourbon. And can do some really interesting things to custard.
Really. Custard. I wood have never thought to use with custard. I’m jumping into tobaccos and alcohols next so we’ll see how it goes.

Wood...
Forgot about this... saw it in my early days before becoming adventurous with mixing.

ID10-T, have you ever tried this one?
Tfa red oak is amazing I love that little bit of coconut vibe you get from it. Mixes nicely in tobacco's this is one of my recipes using it. Inw am4a 0.75% flv Connecticut shade 0.4% flv native 2% tfa red oak 0.5% inw dnb 0.5% flv Turkish 1.5% Dnb is optional I like a little ash. https://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/3964246/The+Wizard
When I saw wood on the schedule my favorite line from that old cult classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit went dancing through my mind. Which is : "Holly would if she could but she can't" because apparently Vapers "wood" if we could so we did? 👀
Well I guess its time for us to have a lil vaping themed 🐦s and 🐝 s chat because I really wanna find out what we are doing with all that wood🤣
I originally purchased VT barrell oak, tfa red oak, and fa oak wood for tobacco additives. I SFT'ed them and then put them off to the side. Now is probably a good time to try them in mixes, especially since I am getting more familiar with my tobacco concentrates. You know when you go to home depot and buy a solid red oak plank, how it makes your vehicle smell: this is how tfa red oak smells and tastes. I'm very excited about it. I will def. mix bigredvapors recipe posted in this thread.
You won the flavor pack!
I would love to start playing with some woodsy flavors. I’ve just dived head first into tobaccos and I’m learning that I actually enjoy a lot of flavors I never thought I did. I’ll have to catch this episode for sure. Hopefully y’all have some time for recipes this week too.
Didn't ya cedar post I made last week? I'm going to start charging per pun. I can't beleaf how much you willow me. I conifer you a discount, though... Anyway, my puns are just about tapped. I will bough out. Hopefully your flavors this week don't taste like a canopy!
if anyone knows of a cedar flavor lmk, that sounds amazing with a tobacco. hoping to learn more about this flavor group, super interested! & the alchemist pack is on my wish list
The Euro Flavor Oriental Tobacco Black in this recipe is where I get the cedar from. Only place that I can remember tasting cedar. When I tested it, it reminded me of opening an old cedar chest.
Awesome thanks for the info & summoning on my behalf. I actually bought EF Oriental Black awhile ago after reading almost every r/chemicalburnvictim recipe/ post, so TY for all the help down the tobacco rabbit hole. Haven't had a chance to try it yet, but now I will put it in my next batch of SFTs
I believe INW makes a flavor that is supposed to be a tobacco but really has a distinct cedar note. I can’t remember which one it is. It’s too late now but if I can remember, I’ll see if I can find out for you in the morning. We can also try summoning u/chemicalburnvictim and see if he knows.
I really wanted to contribute something substantive to this thread so I'm going to link this recipe here: 4mple v5 . It's not done. Im still looking for the perfect flavor in the place of the Butter Rum Cavendish. As is, it's really fucking good. I wouldnt run out and buy all this stuff and the chances are that most wouldn't have all this. I did try 7 leaves and it wasn't right. A few others, sweet bright leaf, flv virginia. none really filled that spot and bridged the gaps the same. One day...
the earlier version of this 4mple v3 suffered from a few issues but one thing that was fun was how, between the am4a and the red oak, there was a clear coconut taste from zero coconuts. pretty cool.
Wood .. the perfect thing for Squirrels with a Chainsaw https://i.imgur.com/XkVbiQd.jpg
Are flavors with a sandalwood off note considered in this Episode too?
Which flavors have a sandalwood off note?
I think I recall a discussion in on of the episodes of the last weeks, I think it was tobacco. A short search revealed INW RY4 and SC Seven as flavors with a remarkable sandalwood note.
And no, I don’t ask for an Episode on it😉
