HI @Jimk I read something about IDE flavors are they any good? I want to order some flavors from them.

I never got too deep into IDE flavors. I tried a couple of their tobaccos and was pleased enough to use them now and again. The vanilla custard was nice, I remember.

The one flavor I can say is unbeatable by any other vendor is their Caramel. I can’t say enough good things about their caramel. I use it in quite a few of my recipes. If I were you, pick about five flavors that you’re really interested in and order those. You won’t be out too much money because his prices are good.

I needed to use a higher percentage of flavoring in my mixes with IDE flavors. In other words they are not super concentrated like other vendor flavors can be, such as FA, INW or even TFA.

But whatever you do, if you like caramel, don’t forget the caramel.

shan:

I purchased an e-liquid from Emporium Liquid (brand from California) called Melia Havana. The company’s Instagram page describes the flavor as “smooth vanilla and sweet caramel dessert paired with a familiar shag undertone.” I’ve asked the store about the flavors and they said it has tobacco, vanilla, and caramel in it. I can’t recreate the flavor. The flavor tastes creamy, sweet, vanilla, and a smoky caramel flavor. There’s also a cuban cigar undertone. It’s hard to determine all of the flavors, but it’s very creamy and rich, and not super sweet. I’ve tried mixing RY4 Double, Bavarian Cream 8%, and Hazelnut. It doesn’t taste or smell like Melia Havana. Next, I mixed french vanilla 3%, RY4 Double 8%, Caramel Candy 3%, Hazelnut 4%, and French Vanilla 3%. This tasted bitter and made me nauseous. I think I put too much RY4 and hazelnut. Basically, I can’t get it to be sweet and creamy. Everything I try turns out bitter. How can I mix caramel and vanilla without it getting bitter? Because i find that caramel makes the juice bitter.

Melia Havana is one of our favorites, good luck!
