I've tried it as written in HIC's recipes, found it strong tobacco tasting, killing other flavors in mixes. I've also tried it at 0.5%. Standalone, 2% Tobacco, tobacco, tobacco. And not one I like. I just omit, now.

Frustrating. I wanna taste it like nearly everyone else tastes it!!!! Dammit.
That's funny cause I want to taste the tobacco. I am on a FA Soho kick right now. 15% Soho 2% FA Meringue and it's a light dessert tobacco to die for. I can't put it down I have never vaped 30ml of liquid in a day and with this stuff I have been averaging 34 ml. FA says Joy is just a variation of Soho but for my pallet they couldn't be further apart.

Trade ya palates!!
Could be worse. You could've ended up with FA Bread Crust in your Joy bottle.
That was one of the happiest oops moments I've had. I enjoyed that, too!

Ugh! A new recipe and I can't have it till the bank gets me straightened out! Someone online has helped themselves to my card info and charged over $250 to Google.com for something....I was already angry, now I'm FURIOUS!
HIC - Just to confirm that I did receive your most recent update on my email...the one titled *Hello DIY vape enthusiasts!*
Not sue what method you used, but it seems to have worked
Cheers.

ok in wrong 100ml is not gonna last 2 days!!! LOL was thinking though... maybe instead of blue razz, turning it into passion fruit then mixing it with the h20melon!!!!
Wow, just bought HICs Mango and Sticky Rice, even though I don't have either of the TFA flavors. I love Thailand, I've been several times and have made sure to gorge myself with mango and sticky rice every opportunity I could. Let's see if it stands up to it's name!
Thanks HIC!

The Thai Mango Sticky Rice is wonderful! Even freshly mixed with my arch flavor enemy, MANGO! I'll try it again in a couple of days when the mango has had time to "adjust its attitude", but it's hard to believe it'll get any better! +1 on this one!
its pretty good.. i had a vape with a friend today and she eats the thai pudding all the time.. she was freakin on the vape version.. now i gotta make her some!!!
HIC - I just got your newsletter. Thanks! And now for the apology: I got Malibu Creamsicle and entered $1.60 as the fair price. Please know that I value your recipes way more than that, but I was trying to zero out a VISA gift card. Sowwy!
Ok Mango sticky rice has officially steeped for 48 hours. I was good and didn't try it. I'm gonna go put a fresh build in the old velocity clone (I would buy the authentic but at this point in my life my money is going to kids sports and braces so don't judge) and see if this stuff Vapes as good as it smells!

As far as testing goes, I put a small amount of juice in the tank I'm gonna be vaping with. I wanna know how it's gonna taste in my all day stuff.
I use the Veritas! It's a clone, but I love the dual vertical coils for flavor.

I'm having some trouble, hoping someone might help?
I purchased a bunch of flavors for making hic's mixes. The last one I tried to make is key lime ice cream. Mixed using a digital scale d made sure to shake each flavor first. All I could taste in that recipe is tobacco. I made another batch without tobacco and the lime taste is very weak. Having read this is supposed to be a strong flavor I'm wondering if something is wrong with the flavor. I bought them repackaged from mamaj's and a couple other places. Is it possible that these were not shaken before being split into smaller bottles, and that is the reason they are weak? I went to the flavour art website to try and order factory sealed flavors but for some reason the site doesn't work well with my phone. Anyone ever have this sort of thing happen?

hahaha your recipes are like taking a college course: DIY 101.Don't apologize - it's a freebie, so thank you!
Any chance you reversed the two lime flavors? Even if you did, I wouldn't expect "weak" flavor with that much lime, though it would be a less strong. You could try each lime separately, at 3% or 4% - should taste quite strong like that. If not, is there a chance your nic is interfering? And don't heat steep citrus (you didn't say you'd done that; I'm just trying to think of everything that could ever apply...)

I'm with Huck! I always test on my usual equipment. It's just simpler and faster for me, and I'm lazy.
I have that, too.
Thanks for the reply HIC! I don't think I mixed them up but I did put the mix on top of my dvr to heat it a bit overnight. I'll try each lime separate as suggested. So then I take it these are not flavors that could separate when sitting like some do? That was the only thing I could think of, and perhaps they were bottled from a larger bottle that wasn't shaken. Could just be my taste buds but considering how strong a flavor people say it is I figured probably not.
Again thanks again I bought a bunch of your new recipes and loving just about all of them. You have completely changed the way I approach diy.
I wanna make hucklegummies so what ratio watermelon juice to blue razz? Or just 50/50?
Running low on nic right now so im just gonna make a 30 ml with both flavs mixed in
From the most recent post I remember it being 25/75. Page 64 of this topic

YES, they absolutely separate as they sit! You can actually watch cold-pressed settle into layers (mine is in a glass vial for easy viewing; I'm weird that way.)
Yes, 75 Sweet watermelon/25 blue razz.
oooops. I've been saying 50/50, which is what I've tried and like.
Damn i did 75 razz.....needs watermelon
If it tastes good, you're doin it right. Was just a really tasty combo
I tried each lime on it's own and think I found the culprit. I had to bump the lime cold pressed up to 12% to match the flavor strength of lime distilled at 4%. So maybe it was a bad batch or somethin. Guess I'll be ordering another bottle from somewhere else. The lime distilled was from mamma j's and the cold pressed was from ecx and factory sealed, fyi. Thanks again for the help.
Is there an expiration date on the bottle from ECX? I've been hearing from a few people now that they've been known to sell expired flavoring.
If it's expired or close, maybe they'll hook you up with a new batch. Also, with some mixes, I've been having to wait 4 days for the flavor to wake up. Can't remember which specifically, may not even be FA
but when I doctored them up didn't let them sit, they became way too strong later.
If you mean the shrink wrap from ECX, those are re-bottled, unless they've started selling stock FA ones. I've had many issues with ECX in the past and they've always been helpful in taking care of replacements. Mama J's, I never had an issue with at all.
ECX doesn't sell FA in original bottles. I prefer my flavorings from MamaJs in general, although ECX is fine if nobody else has them, but I'm quite sure MamaJs is fresh and well shaken
The only place to get original FA bottles from is Bullcity vapor.
Just experience joy flavor in gooey coconut cookies and doughnut recipes. Taste more like bread crust. I dont get the sweet flavor from it at all and it kind mute other flavor in that recipes.

I'm so sorry!! I wish we both could taste it like others do.
