Wow, Shaner, you did a whole lot of reading! Wasn't that the best thread? I'm glad to know that it is still being read. It sounds like you have learned a lot in a short amount of time, good for you! I love your flavoring racks, did you make those? I'm glad you followed us over here.

Thanks Juicy
Thanks MissWish. Yes, I did make them ... Easy project, just drilled some holes in a 2x2 and glued them together in a stair formation so I can see all the labels. There are 3 separate racks in the pic (I still need to paint the one in the back).
Of course you can join, Shaner! Welcome to the FA-mily 
That thread.. good times, man. Good times.

Wizard labs is now carrying inawera and it's on sale $1.29 for 8ml
You're using a TC mod I assume? How often do you re-wick?
Man, I really need to remember to get some Ni wire next time I order stuff. I have two TC capable devices now and still haven't tried the feature.
i am using tc now,but tc didnt make a difference. and I do not rewick just change coils every 2-3 weeks
Ive pretty much given up on choc vapes as well. I made HICs Coconut Musketeers a while ago, and have used HICs Swiss Bliss recipe as a chocolate concentrate in several of my own recipes. Using my exthermal dripper the musketeers was very nice, though coils neeed changing every day at least…..in any other dripper both the musketeers and all my choc recipes virtually needed re-wicking within a couple of hours and the choc flavour was a bit funky/watery/gunky anyway. Although both the musketeers and swiss bliss are nice, Ive pretty much come to the conclusion there is no chocolate recipe that is THAT nice its worth the bother of re-wicking every couple of hundred inhalations.

I'm with you on that Willbo, I love the two mixes but anything chocolate based its gotta be dripped.
I'd go to Mama J's or Bull City. You can get sample sizes at Mama J's.
Don't you hate it when you get busy for a couple days and miss a boat load of posts?
Thanks Tball. It's people like you that helped me get some mixes going that made analogs seem truly undesirable.
Wuss. This is why they invented $5 RDAs!
Thank you thank you
Thanks and congrats to you too!
I'm getting some MF Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate and will let you know. They're supposed to taste awesome and are supposedly not coil gunkers.

Every chocolate/cocoa flavoring on the market with the possible exception of TFA's Double Clear variant absolutely hates your coils and there's nothing you can do about it. While I can put about 12ml of my ADV RY4 through a typical .7 ohm micro coil KFL build, I can only get around 5ml of 3MM through the same tank before the flavor starts heading south.
Dry burn / re-wick early and often with 3MM. Hey, it's a small price to pay for the luxury of being able to breathe chocolate air!
MF? Are those Molinberry Flavors, @KeyserSoze?
Sorry, Medicine Flower
Can I join this club?
It took about 3 months reading just a few pages every night but I've finally read all 158 pages of the Pure Vapes thread and all 233 pages here ... I am on FA overload!!! It's funny, I feel like I already know all of ya and was really bummed when the Pure Vapes thread died. What a great wealth of information there is in there.
I am glad to see it continue over here where it is even better. I just wished I joined earlier so I could of been part of the great discussions going on last year and early this year when HIC, wllmc, Huck, Amanda, Cramp and many more of the old regs, some of which seemed to have disappeared, were discovering what these great flavors are capable of, sharing notes, and freely posting all the wonderfull recipes. Don't get me wrong, there are still some amazing recipes and great discussions going on, but I miss the old days, even though I wasn't a part of them ... lol.
Anyways, because of all the great information posted on these pages I have got to know my FA flavors pretty well and I look forward to participating in some of the discussions here.
I have only been mixing about half a year and started out with TFA but soon discovered FlavourArt. I now pretty much have all of the FA flavors except for the florals and the tobaccos, don't really care for either but may experiment with them later on. Oh, and I have been smoke free since June 27th this year after more than 30 years of smoking

Thanks,

Welcome to the Club Shaner !! Huck has the membership cards. When you hit 40 FA Flavors and/or sport a crazy beard and haircut, then your automatically a member. Wllmc was the first to member to get in under the "crazy beard" rule after Hic started the thread back at the "other forum" ( He only had 20 or so FA flavors back then......it was the crazy beard that got him in early)
I started with close to 100 TFA bottles from Wizard myself before I discovered FA throgh the old site. Good stuff this FA.

Digging back quite far here, but wondering whether anyone knows of a rosemary concentrate on the market?
I have one from Inawera's shisha line. Yep, it's rosemary - and plenty strong enough.
Please forgive a SWAG from a newroid mixer who's read all of the posts from the 'other place' as well as all those here, but I have in my notes that FA Zen Garden imparts a Rosemary note. I'd love to hear one way or another from those with some experience using it!
My best details about Zen Garden: http://vapingunderground.com/thread...-the-purevapes-thread.2501/page-10#post-27282

Haaa yea I'm not sure if I could find a use for Zen Garden, but I had a desert last night utilising rosemary. It gave a minty effect and was delicious
My Agua Fresca recipe uses Zen Garden. Too lazy to find it and link it. I don't use it for rosemary, but when used with mint it makes it taste like muddled mint leaves. @HeadInClouds refuses to listen to reason about this, but I'm sticking to my guns.
Hi HIC! (giggles)

Hi HIC!
Yes, Zen and herbal vapers, Cramps is your expert. I DO get the muddled mint leaves for your agua fresca. It just took me a long time to try it!
and giggles back at you hi, could anybody give a link to marshmallow flavoring recipe mixed using 4 or 5 FA flavors (diketones free)
thanks in advance )
thanks in advance )
FA only makes 1 Marshmallow flavor, that I know of.
You can add it to just about any recipe.
Usually used as an additive to soften, add body, or impart some sweetness.
Normally not used as a stand alone, but I can't really taste the Marshmallow anyway.
Real Marshmallows are sickening sweet so it's a hard flavor to replicate IMO.
TFA Toasted Marshmallow you might taste, but, unfortunately has the "baddies".
Unless I misunderstood you and just want a FA recipe that has FA Marshmallow in it?
thanks for your reply. Yes, I know FA has a Marshmallow flavor. But it seems to be not the best one.
The point is that some time ago I was searching the web to find a diketones free Marshmallow flavor. I found a recipe on some forum (it seems to me it was vapingunderground) - several FA flavors (Catalan Cream, Fresh Cream etc.) mixed together to come up with very good Marshmallow flavor.
I have a Toasted Coconut marshmallow using 8% CAPs Marshmallow. I haven't got around to trying it with FA, but I'm thinking 2-3% FA Marshmallow. If you like the way it sounds you can play around with it.
Marshmallow(FA) 2-3%
Meringue(FA) 1%
Coconut(FA) 1.5-2%(I like it at 1.5%)
Cookie(FA) 1%
Marshmallow(FA) 2-3%
Meringue(FA) 1%
Coconut(FA) 1.5-2%(I like it at 1.5%)
Cookie(FA) 1%
Well, a homemade marshmallow recipe I have calls for egg whites, sugar and vanilla. Maybe use Meringue and vanilla classic?

It's WAYYYYY cool. The interview in the beginning is a bit difficult, lots of echo/reverb/something... marble walls? Really cool process. When he says, creating flavors is like combining art and science, @HeadInClouds was who I thought of. Interesting to hear his take on their PG process, too. The automation process looked a whole lot like the automation process in the pharmacy I used to work.

Very impressive !, Glad i made the move to FA now.
Wow, amazing! Love that, stand up company.
@ChefCragoArdee - that was over a year ago, so I'll describe the changes since.
FA's Italian site *used to* have separate "flavor magic" and "kitchen magic" lines (ecig versus for-cooking-only). Fast forward a year, insert new E.U. taxes and regulations, and now they have "kitchen magic" for ALL flavorings, and "electronic cigarette" for (basically) e-liquid and hardware.
FA Flavors for cooking-only are few, but they still exist. ALL those have an inhalation warning: "This flavor contains Diacetyl and/or related diketones. Not suitable for vaping," like Pandoro: http://flavourartexpress.biz/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=640 Those warnings were first added in 2009 or 2010 when FA wrapped up reformulating most flavors to eliminate diketones. FA also recently provided test results on flavors without diketones: http://flavourartnaflavourreports.com/ . So now there are two ways to find out if an FA flavor is intended for vaping or not.

Why does ecigexpress still sell this flavor? I read your disclaimer amd saw where it's 2% diacetyl. I don't know if you can/will answer this but is the silver cloud poundcake flavoring ok for vaping or should I find another alternative to a poundcake? Thank you good sir for the detailed reply
Ecigexpress sells LOTS of flavors with those ingredients, not just FA's. They DO (finally) include the warning on Pandoro: http://www.ecigexpress.com/diy-e-li...rart-sweet-flavors/pandoro-by-flavourart.html. Ecigexpress is often slow/behind/wrong with manufacturers' warnings; best to check with the manufacturer for current info. When I submit reviews on ecigexpress pointing out missing or incorrect warnings, they don't post my review.
It is possible but not simple to make a pound cake flavor from FA flavorings without diketones. Is your Silver Cloud simply using Pandoro (or diketone-containing flavor from another brand), or cleverly concocting a diketone-free version? There's no way to know without testing the liquid, unless Silver Cloud is willing to show you their test results. If you avoid all diketones, you're right to be suspicious of cake flavors; certainly ask them!
I don't remember seeing any of them used that high. Usually 0.25% to 1%. C'mon over to The Medicine Flower Club for my tasting notes on the shipment that came in yesterday. It might be a few days before I get to mix and try the 9 that I started out with but I will post notes about all of them for sure. I have a shiny new flavoring cabinet and shelving to install and organize first, if I'm able to resist the urge to mix. I was about 20 flavors behind on my testing before this shipment came in. A wise man once said something about... what was it... vaping faster?@KeyserSoze, if those MF flavors are any good, do be sure to not tell me unless I can use them at
I know. I'm gently prodding all vendors that have ever expressed a desire to resell MF to do so. Undiluted 3ml samples for ~$5 would be a lot easier to stomach than $22 for 15ml.Dem prices tho.
(hope that quote shows up right) I just noticed your tag and want to congratulate you. Go, @SailCat !
Thank you, HIC. The best thing is that I never think about burning tobacco (except when walking by a smoker [and then nothing positive or appealing]).

I just got a bull city order & got an original 10ml bottle.
Whaaaaat was I thinking - they SUCK!
why didn't I read this thread about those bottles before I ordered??
and why do people vape yogurt? I got a 10ml bottle for science..
I smelled better stuff in a NYC subway

Yeah, that one's going to be a real challenge. Condensed Milk, too, which is very similar.
