I taste a strong tobacco from it. MANY people are tasting something like a funnel cake. Just shows how everyone's taste is so different.
I think funnel cake taste and sweet is way too far from what i get. Maybe it just be the same case like maringue flavor before.

There are only a few of us that taste it the way that you and I do. I'm just so glad that all these other recipes are so yummy. I'm still planning to re-make the gooey coconut cookies, just without the joy flavor. It'll stil be good, no doubt.
Before this i use sucralose to replace joy and the taste is good
Sent from my ASUS_T00J using Tapatalk
I may try that, thanks
This is really helpful information, @malayson - thank you!
If vaped Sucralose tastes sweet to you, it makes sense as a sub for some recipes with Joy. I use Sucralose in real food/drink all the time, but I can't taste its sweetness in a vape.
I'd have to rely on FA Marshmallow, TFA Cotton Candy, maybe FA Meringue (or some combo) if Joy didn't taste sweet to me. I do not think Joy is a matter of bad batches, mislabeling, or even different hardware settings. I am increasingly convinced we just don't all taste/smell it the same way. In my store recipes, I will be sure to always note in the description if Joy is an ingredient!
I fully agree with this. We all have different sensitivities/preferences to taste... I know there's a better word for that, but you know what I mean. Meringue comes to mind for me, too. I've never gotten the eggy flavor that many people talk about.
I hate that. I wish it was all the same for us as far as taste goes. Man, I am so behind on threads. Just wanted to say I enjoyed Hic's Vanilla Silk Pudding so much as well as his black pepper Ice cream. I like spices and citrus vapes. So, scrolling through Hic's Mixes last night I seen the Thai mango sticky rice. In the cart it went along with Lemon custard pudding. I just cannot wait to try them. Hello to everyone and a wonderful day!
Good to see you 'round, D. I must say, you're looking younger all the time.

I wanna vape from the fountain of youth too!
....lol!I still can't find it! @Daintanee could you point me to it please?
This one?? https://gumroad.com/l/ZrTf
Yes, that's the one I bought at HICs Mixes, the lemon pudding cake. The black pepper Ice cream is here on vu in recipes section.
The link Huck posted is correct. I am gonna mix it tonight. I have a long car trip to enjoy it on tomorrow.
Ain't I just so cute! She is in my kitchen sink bathing and brushing her teeth. My whole floor had to get mopped when we were done
!
I made the Mango Sticky Rice earlier today. I'm letting it steep like a good girl..... Lol

I have to have it both ways. I am thinking I will like it fresh best, but we shall see.
Ok sorry yes it's the shrink wrapped bottle. Figured it was the original bottle because it has the FA label and batch #. So the 10ml bottles with flip top from bullcity are original? Good to know I have quite a few flavors from them. Love those flip tops... you can open, drip, and close in one motion. I even started putting other flavors into my used ones for the convenience.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

Okay, I have the mango rice in my new Tobeco Super Tank RDA and ooooohhhhhhh......I have to quit. I just have to quit vaping right now because I just don't deserve anything this good, I really don't.....
Truthfully, I have to quit because I made this batch in a 6mg and I need a 3mg for a rda because I see a blissful overdose on the horizon.
Silly? Yeah, you try it and see if your taste buds don't get a little giddy....LOL!!

Of course you do! I'm glad you're liking it.
Ok, so I made the Mango Sticky Rice let it steep for 4 days put a fresh build in my gear and it was amazing. I had just finished yard work so I took a shower and I got out to find my wife on the front porch dripping away. I started to hand her mod to her and I sware her eyes turned red and and in a voice she normally saves for our children she said "I am on a tropical island right now eating coconuts and mango can't you guys give me 5 minutes to my self". I said what the he'll are you talking about and she said this vape reminds me of the vacations we used to take before the kids you can have it back when I'm done.

LOL I was at a party tonight (nobody under 60 LOL), and later in the evening I was outside vaping Gooey Coconut Cookies. At least three people who came outside sniffed the air and said 'what's that delicious smell?' It's certainly a far cry from cigarette smoke - just sayin'
It's certainly a far cry from cigarette smoke - just sayin'Hi,
My first of HIC's store recipes - Quickberry Pink. When I made it initially, I found the flavour a bit muted. HIC suggested a few things, one of which being bump it up to 1.5 times. I did so and also let it steep. My oh my...what a stark difference. The vape was one of the best strawberry ones I have ever had. Thanks HIC....Have made the Blueberry-Coconut Smoothie next and it is steeping now.
Well, I am sure there are hundreds of you would have already opined on the Quickberry Pink and how light and nice it is as an ADV. What I would like to add is this - I have been vaping it on a Velocity RDA. It has been one and a half weeks now. What I have been checking is the state of the coil and wick. Not only is this juice tasty it hardly gunks up the wick and coil. I haven't even re-wicked the original setup since I started vaping this and am now down to the last few ml's (of the 30 mls I made).
Fantastic!!
Looking forward to trying the other recipes now. Only problem is that I have a bit of my stock of ITC vapes which I need to finish along with these new recipes else they will go bad
Cheers.

I REALLY enjoy this one, myself. Nice choice!
Thanks Huck. I did read your original comments on this thread re this recipe. (one of the reasons) why it is a part of my first five list to buy from HIC's site
Just picked up your Irish Malt Ice Cream, HIC. Sounds great. I knew I didn't have the NF Malt going in, but I've read enough good things about this flavor to think about springing for the big bottle straight from NF (considering it seems to be scarce elsewhere) and this recipe may have sent me over the proverbial edge.
I am a HUGE fan of malt in shakes and candies; is this the sort of flavor I might expect to be able to replicate with NF Malt? The nearest approximation to the flavor I'm seeking is your "trick" in the Creamy Strawberry Malt recipe derived from the FA Cocoa / Chocolate and Oba Oba combination. So I'm shooting for that, only without the more obvious chocolate notes.
Just trying not to end up with a big bottle of something that would taste more appropriate in beer than candy. I'm assuming it won't, since you've used it to good effect in at least one of your recipes.

NF Malt (contains diketones) is the malt flavor you're wanting. I consider it one of NF's best and most useful flavorings. It's sweet like barley malt syrup used in prepackaged sweets - not at all beer, and without the chocolate part many people associate with malt. Irish Malt Ice Cream is a sweet ice cream malt flavor. Malt from NF Malt, the chocolate from Irish Cream. NF sells only big bottles; store in the fridge if you get that much, and know that it's a lifetime supply for you and all your friends. Mamaj's and highdesertvapes sell smaller bottles. Don't forget Ginger, too. If you need a third, I'm finishing up a killer carrot cake recipe that uses some NF Carrot Cake. Those that avoid all diketones should avoid all by NF, but vapers who just limit diketones should know the ones I've mentioned are all useful as very small additions in FA-based recipes.

I am a big Malt fan, too!
My ADV is now HIC's Strawberry Malt! I can't get enough of that flavor... I must admit, I "cheat" and buy the complete flavor from Mamma J's.
Someone mentioned a dripper above. Does anyone have a suggestion for a good one? I have never dripped before, and would like to try it. I have rebuilt coils before, Np. I know this is a juice thread, but, I just want to taste my juice a bit better, lol. Currently using Subtanks... Which I love. Thanks in advance.

Can't go wrong with Mutation, I have a x V3 that I love.
That's not cheating! There are 3 HIC's Mixes premixed on Mamaj's that ONLY Mamaj's has the recipe for: Strawberry Whopper, Oatmeal Cream Pie, and Tiramisu Wafer Cookies. They're here: http://mamajsflavorshop.com/specialty-shop/hics-mixes/ . The others are for convenience - but those three are exclusives.

Ha! Already had that Carrot Cake in my cart after scouting NF's site last night, so I'm going to call that a sign and pull the trigger.
Thanks for the info, HIC. Do we know which of the subs NF's stuff is rocking? I'm less wary of acetoin than acetyl propionyl based on Dr. F's observations, but neither of them really bother me in small amounts. Just would be nice to know.

Absolutely no idea, @retrox - and not for lack of trying to find out.
Now that nudenicotine offers reasonable pricing on testing, I suppose the answer is attainable. hmmm....

People who just don't enjoy vaping FA Bilberry usually like FA Forest Mix, even though it includes bilberry flavor. If Billberry is to you, you might try replacing part or all of Bilberry with Forest Mix.

OMG did I die? Go to heaven? THIS is what Tiramisu should taste like! WOW. I will be forever grateful, HIC!That one is mind blowing. Just sayin'.
A little background about me vaping: No B&M stores, so I bought (and still do) everything online. I found Fasttech, went nuts! They had Liqua juice, and I was hooked. Liqua makes their juice with... wait for it.... FlavourArt! My favorite flavor? Tiramisu. Eventually, Fasttech ran out, and it was hard to find Liqua here in the states. So, I read up on DIY, and went for it! I had no idea you could get their flavors here in the states, so I made a huge order about a year ago from the factory in Italy!
Anyway, I have been playing with Tiramisu since I got it last year. I have not figured out the right recipe.
I am glad HIC did!
Wow, thanks HIC, really.... you da man!

I just ordered a Mutation x V4 (couldn't find a V3, V4 had good reviews), and a Doge V2 (love the dog, heck of a way to buy Gear, but hey, it's cute)...Can't go wrong with Mutation, I have a x V3 that I love.

The Atty3 is also a good one, as well as the Tobeco Turbo v2, got both of those and really like the deep wells. And I'm completely hooked on the Tobeco Super Tank RDA I just got.
Do you like to eat and vape matching flavors? That's flavor nirvana for me.
Walmart or Cost Plus World Market sells these; my Tiramisu Wafer Cookies matches the flavor:
I like all of Loacker's Quadratini, but Tiramisu is their superstar.Walmart also has the match for my Oatmeal Creme Pie:
I'd love to vape Little Debbie's "Nutty Bars" but haven't managed to make those yet.
I'm currently vaping plain wintergreen with Wint-O-Green lifesavers.

Thanks for the tip on the cookies! I have to go shopping tomorrow, will head to Walmart, for sure!
My favorite "pairing" for your Strawberry Malt is Fanta Strawberry Soda.... It makes the Vape really pop!
I bought Malt from Mama J's, and am going to try for a Vanilla Malt. My Dad used to take me out to get a vanilla malted milkshake every once in a while. It's my favorite milkshake.
My "trinity" of flavor is Strawberry, Vanilla, Tiramisu... And Malt with the first two!

Good grief, now that I know it is in Root Beer (from a thread somewhere on this forum) , it is all I can taste! Crap. I love Root Beer, and it is ruined...
Has that ever happened to you when you were researching flavors, HIC? How do I get past it (can I?)

Rats! The only place I could find to buy Rasta Root Beer is on Tasty Puff site, with a $20 minimum
. I don't know much about their flavors, and don't need $20 bucks of Root Beer!

ebay is the best source I know - best to search 'tasty puff' and look for the ones with a drop-down list of flavors available. If they use 'rasta root beer' in their title listing, it sells out really, really fast.
All the time, and not just when vaping. Wintergreen is a flavor that really gets around in American products. http://vapingunderground.com/threads/hics-pink-bubble-gum.18233/ I think anyone who tastes a real food/beverage and starts noticing the flavor components like that probably has a hidden talent for figuring out flavor combos for vapes.
