The Flavorah Tobacco Lounge

[Mr Ripple]

10 drops is 0.2g and 5 is 0.1.
I've used these flv bottles for a while and the drops they produce is pretty consistent.

It is indeed a good one, what percentage did you mix it at?

0.5 again. i might bump it up a wee bit. it will soon be time to mix the next tester, not sure which to go with yet... turkish? native? decisions decisions...!

You're right I've just mixed red burly at 0.15, 0.25, 0.35, 0.5, 0.65, 0.75, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8% .... 10ml samples, I'll leave them for 3 days as advised and let you know, my findings. ... wouldn't want to miss out on any of the experience.

och away you are still being stroppy

It's close... according to my scales 7 drops was exactly 1.5% when I made those testers for my mate.

Honestly, when we are mixing this low it's probably more accurate to do a 10% solution if you want to be accurate.

aye for 10ml i think you are right. i always do 30ml testers, and sometimes adjust them or add on the go. now i know the drops are 0.2g i mix these by drops. what i usually do, but so many dropper types on different bottles from brands and vendors means i often forget and need to find the wee scales again, or stick to flavours whose drop size i can remember

@Simon G @StrawberryRipple i wouldn’t go to the effort she does either but it’s the principle that’s important, so you can understand the flavour it’s important to start low and work from there. @Rickster , who likes a strong blend, says 0.15 red burley in a mix, for example.

i just think starting too high seems wasteful and risks missing what these flavours are all about.

but each to their own.

For me, I have established Im no really that keen of the dark heavy tobacco's, much prefer the lighter ones.... I do recognise their worth though in a blend but for me it's at very low % or it's too overpowering, sure Zou is right pretty much everything else I vape n mix is at the medium to higher end of flavour %..... but not the dark rich baccies

I'm really getting used to this classic cigarette.

It's really an unpleasant taste, but really enjoyable. It would work well sitting under some apple and ginger I think.

That Arabian, is absolutely beyond perverted, it has to be top 5 of the most mutant flavour profiles - ever.

not sure i’m going to like this. but i am intrigued. might mix some up tomorrow. what strength are you at? i’ll no doubt go for 0.5

I mixed it at 1% like I said..... but I didn't realise FLV recommend starting it at 0.25%

I'd try 0.25 and if you really want it strong go up to 0.5% but I wouldn't want it any higher than that really... and you know me.

It's not rich, tasty or anything like that.... I think I would only use it as a additive to make something more fag-like. It doesn't have much 'flavour' even to me, just that taste you get after smoking a fag when you haven't smoked for a year.

hmm on second thoughts i might leave it in the box with the pucker...

Honestly, unless you really want an authentic 'chewing on a dog-end' taste I'd probably leave it until the end.

I'm quite curious to see what effect a touch of pucker would have on one of the darker, sweeter tobaccos.

a couple of things i’ve read say to stay away from sweet stuff and use it with dry tobaccos. if it is like inw dark tobacco, as i suspect, i would agree with this. it has the potential to unexpectedly alter flavours in sometimes very strange and frightening ways.
