Hey everybody, I am looking for advice on using FA Orange and FA Tangerine. I recently mixed a bottle of 60vg/40pg 3mg nic of Orange FA 1%+ Tangerine FA 1%+Vienna Cream FA 1%. Needless to say, 1 day of rest the taste note was “has a good start” and was hoping the taste of the orange would develop. The following day, the orange flavor dropped which was a sad result. 4 days later flavor was still low…so I figured lets up the percentages and good with adding…1% orange+1% Tangerin+1% Whipped Cream FA. Tried after 36 hours of steeping. Same result. (And it was just time streeped. No heat. And in cool dark place and shake twice a day)
So the question is…Should I be using a 6%-8% of Orange/Tangerine rather than my 2%-4% mix? And, does anyone find that Orange flavors from FA are only good for shake and vape and not good at all for a liquid that is to steep for 1-2 weeks?
I have been noticing this issue over and over again with Orange & Tangerine from FA (yes I have an orange on the way from I think Cap…that is supposed to round out my mix but I thought I would have a flavor drop off). For example on the drop off on flavor…I made HIC’s complete orange tictac…does exactly what it should right out of the gate (6 hours later)…yet after 4 days or more of rest the orange flavor drops and the main flavor profile becomes mint+anise with very very subtle orange.
I am so very desperate to have orange work because there is a specific juice I want to clone, but I have to have an orange base first to build upon.
