No, looks like you need to be careful with the %......looks a tad too sweet for me.... im on the borderline of sweetness with what Im on tonight......Im going to have to drop the pistachio n butterscotch down, along with the Whore and increase the biscuit.... and get the mix to 20% or under....let us know how it is though

Jeees this stuff is potent.
I put 5 drops in a 10ml finished recipe and it completely took over.
Not unpleasant but still swamped the juice beyond recognition.
Spent a few minutes working out what percentage 5 drops in 10ml was and its 5X the recommended dosage.
It's recommended @ 5% max which is only one drop per 10ml.
Just tried it again at 0.25% and its still a little too much in my recipe.
It's giving the same notes as MFI but i think the fried part of that recipe is from Zeppola.
I'll leave it where it is and see if it mellows.

If i had to describe the flavour notes I'd say its like tasting the air inside a bakery factory proover. Brioche springs to mind.
I wouldn't describe it as sweet at 0.25% but it has taken the edge of the citrus notes in my juice.

Here it is but it's not quite finished.
Just waiting see if the creams come through a little more cos the Spearmint is still a little dominant for me @ 0.3%.

It's pretty good as it is and does give a refreshing vibe if i do say so myself but unless the creams and Pistachio come through further I'll probably drop the Spearmint down to 0.2%.

Can you let me know what you think please?

Morning, so I am trying today the 2.5% AM4A + 0.5% smoke and prunes, mixed on 21/7, in the fat Kayfun (v5^2). It is pleasant, but not what I expected. Frankly I get a lot of chocolate from it, which I never did from AM4A without boosting it with some type of cocoa. It is also sweet and not smokey. Currently vaping it at 35-40W, but if I push it to let's say 50 I get more of the liquorice and tobacco I know from AM4A.

Edit: vaping it all day and it is growing on me, I bet it is being carried by AM4A. It is pleasant, it has depth and the AM4A tricks are there. Not a real ADV but I will probably split it out and try some additions, perhaps some FA Nut mix, perhaps some INW Biscuit, perhaps some RY4D

There's something going on, I recently disassembled the atomizer because it wasn't reading on any mod and put everything back in place after a thorough cleaning. It works now but with a 3mm ID fused Clapton, 5 wraps I got 0.2 Ohm on the Ohm metre, 0.15 on the Drag 2 and 0.36 on the Steam Crave Titan PWM. According to steam-engine the Steam Crave mod reading is what the coil should be, and from experience I'd expect that coil to hit right around there (2x26+36 Ni80) - I never bother too much with resistance anymore, I just find my sweet spot unless on a mech.

Overall happy, both for the juice and that the atty is working again, that El Gordo Kayfun is just great, it IS a Kayfun 5, just bigger, can't explain it, the draw is just...Kayfun! Maybe I'll do a review of it even though it's old.

Where did @zouzounaki go? He’s usually in here waffling on about smoke and prunes

He's probably in the secret Brexit thread talking away quite happily to himself, whilst waiting for the meds to kick in

Ok, so here are my initial findings on the flavours I've tried with the chow.

So the chow is mixed at 10% and everything has been tried on the same rda, a Jorda B with a 2.5id 1.4ohm Kanthal coil at 13W.

All juices have been left for 10 days after adding the extra flavours.

FLW Ginger @ 6%

This was ok but although the ginger wasn't overpowering in itself, the chow seemed a little muted. Maybe I should try less ginger?

INW Coconut @ 3%

This is nice, a nice smooth chow on the way in with a creamy coconut on the exhale. A keeper [emoji1303]

INW Custard @ 3%

This is a lovely creamy chow on the inhale with a hint of custard on the exhale. I think I'll try some other custards or custard blends but this isn't too bad as it is.

CAP Sicilian Lemon @ 5%

This is ok but the lemon is very faint. I'm going to have to up the % a little, I think.

CAP Cup a Joe @ 10%

This is very nice although the coffee notes need bringing forward just a little bit, perhaps another % or two will do the trick?

INW Plum @ 3%

I had high hopes for this as it smells gorgeous. Alas, it's not quite working and I think it needs a touch more plum.

INW Banana @ 3%

Wow!! This one just works, lovely chow flavour which the banana compliments perfectly [emoji1303]

In summary, the coconut and banana mixes are spot and I'll be mixing more of these, the other flavours need a little work but 2 out of 7 good 'uns is pretty good I think [emoji1303]
