First one is Root Beer (FW) and I was surprised at how accurate the smell of it is. I've been waiting sooooo long to make a root beer float type juice and this one from Flavor West is making me excited 😁 Think I'm going to mix this one with some Vanilla Swirl (TPA) and Vienna Cream (FA) and add a touch of Anise (FA) to brighten up the root beer. It would be so cool if some one would make a Sassafras concentrate which of course is the main ingredient in root beer.
Second one is Chai Tea (TPA) and to be honest TPA got this flavor nailed down pat. I used to make Chai Tea and it smells just like it. I cant wait to mix some fruit in with it and the first one that comes to mind is Blueberry Wild, Extra (TPA). Throw in a touch of Bilberry (FA), Dairy Milk (TPA) and some sweetner and bam, freakin delicious.
I'm getting to excited here but I gotta wait for my day off lol
Third one is Creme De Menth (TPA) which is a mint flavored alcohol type concentrate. TPA did a great job with this one because it smells great and I can tell its a strong one, I'm thinking this one 2% max in a recipe just by how strong it smells. I cant wait to make a Mint Chocolate Raspberry liquor type juice with this using Raspberry (FA), Raspberry (FW), Chocolate (INW), Cocoa (FA), Mint (JF), Biscuit (JF) and Creme De Menth. I just know this is going to be so freakin delicious!!
I got some more off flavors too that I can't wait to play around with but ill come back and list them soon. My day off is in a couple days but I get so excited to try new things making juice. I love this hobbie 😀😀😀
I'll let yall know how it all comes out after steeping!! Have a great day all!!
Hi. It’s really wonderful to experience your enthusiasm and joy! It‘s good to be reminded because it sometimes gets buried. Have a great day off and let us know how it goes!
If you like TFA Chai Tea, I bet you would LoVe FLV Chai Spice. It’s a bit more nuanced and flavorful than TFA. Definitely my new obsession.
Yeah I love making different/unique juices. Everyone is stuck on making the most popular things but I like to buy concentrates that no ones else would ever think to buy and make something delicious out of it.
I will def look into that Flavorah Chai Spice and I'm actually thinking of getting a box a week of the flavorah assortment packs. One 10ml bottle from them will go a long way so why not spend $50 on a box that will literally last me forever lol
I'm on a mission to try the most funky concentrates out there though haha 😄
I love the weird ones too! I highly suggest the off-center vibes of SSA Multivitamin, CAP Cucumber, and INW Cactus. And if ya dug TFA Chai Tea, ya might dig FLV Pumpkin Spice too!
If you like weird ones def pick up the new FA lulo. It’s really something special. And very wet and juicy. I swear I’ve sniffed it 4 dozen times since I got it. The smell is reminiscent but I can’t place it. I keep randomly taking passing whiffs thinking if I surprise myself I’ll trick my brain into coming up with the whiff analogy lol but nope.
I thought they stopped selling those packs?
That Choc/Raspberry/ mint concoction sounds yummy. I'd try it with less mint/creme de menthe to start with- no more than 1% (0.5% each mint & creme de menthe). Let us know how it turns out.
Not to disourage you, but maybe mix up 5 ml of each flavor by itself to taste- a lot of concentrates smell awesome but don't translate as well.
I cant wait becauae I love raspberry and chocolate together 🙂Yeah I always do mix small batches first like 10ml let them steep for a couple days just to test them. Thanks for the advice though 🙂
I have found that foods & food combos I love to eat aren't my faves to vape for some reason. Maybe that's just me, IDK.
The chai tea is great. I mixed it with some vanilla bean ice cream, and cinnamon Ceylon. Definitely one I'll be making again.
Was actually thinking of adding cinnamon Ceylon to it too. All you need is 0.5% of that stuff but its so good 👍 Def does brighten up a dessert mix
My first attempt I added like .25 of condensed milk. It was still way overpowered.
FLV Root beer is hands down the best root beer flavor. Holy Vanilla you won’t find but it can be subbed
If you REALLY want interesting, ~~don't~~ try VTA's Jackfruit.
Just do yourself a f(l)avour and have a spare coil and cotton ready to rebuild.
P.S: if you do get it, it works fantastic with Apple flavours as a mild accent!
I got TPA Jackfruit and I love it!! I usually mix it in with tropical type flavors like Pineapple, mango, passion fruit, etc. I also got one from TPA called Quince which is like a pear and a apple combined type fruit which I use to boost apple and pear type recipes.
I love VTA concentrates, my favorites from them are Pineapple, Coconut, Coffee Base, Coffee Milk Froth and Butter Base. Like any other company they got a nasty one called Biscuit and oh man that stuff tasted like vomit straight up lol. Jungle Flavors has the best Biscuit though 🙂
I just got Purliums Country Apple though so I might try doing something with that and TPA Jackfruit, sounds interesting 🤔
As for coils, I've been building my own Mesh decks for over a year now. I haven't even bought any vape stuff online (mods, etc) for almost 10 months because I wanted to become self sufficient due to the upcoming mail ban. I even stocked up on nic and I got three 1 liter bottles of 250mg/ml nic, stored them in little 2oz amber glass bottles and threw them in the freezer. I just took one out after 8 months and it still looks fresh from the day I bought it. With the strength of the nic I got and how I store my nic it should last me years. I only make my juice @ 3mg/ml too so I only use like 1g per 60ml bottle. I just get scared for the future when I won't be able to get anymore nic. It won't be for a while but it's always in the back of my mind. Who knows I could try to go No Nic and see what happens but that's a long ways down the road 🙂
I had a root beer flavour awhile back and it smelt exactly like root beer! I was soooo excited to make a juice with it and then it tasted like straight up burning hair. I've had a few flavours like this in the past that smell amazing! Then taste like death. I'm glad I've learnt to make a tiny batch first to test flavours lmao
What percentage did you use when you made your mix? I've read on ELR that people had good luck with Flavor Wests root beer @ 6%. A lot of people said it was very good at that percentage. Also I'm assuming steeping is very important with Root Beer (FW). I bet after a 14 day steep it would level out any of the harsh off notes. I'm also assuming that Root Beer (FW) would need a tad bit more sweetener because it is kind of a tart / bitter flavoring. I always bring in and brainstorm a bunch of different factors that will help me out with a mix. Looking at user notes on ELR helps a ton too
I can't remember what % I mixed at but probably around 5%. I revisited the bottle after a couple months of steeping and it was still yuck. I hope you have better luck than me! I'd recommend only making 5ml to start with though!
I'm rather new here. Where did you get your concentrate?
Bull City Flavors!! They are local for me here so I only really buy from them to help support them as a local business. They are also a kick ass company carrying a ton of concentrates. Only thing you gotta worry about is the NIC, because of the PACT act and the soon to be active shipping ban, its going to be harder to get liquid NIC. I personally think some companies will find a way around this but I was lucky enough to stock up early. Do you have a ample supply of NIC?
