So, Dark Bean/Coffee Espresso by FA is pretty much the bees knees for me. You weren’t kidding @Jimk, this is some great stuff. I don’t think I’d use as much as you do, but I’m mixing in high PG so that might affect things. And @daath, you don’t call it smooth morning KICK for nothing, do you? I had to alter it a tad cuz I didn’t have all the flavors, and it needs to steep a little longer, but dang! I think I just might be in vape heaven for the next couple weeks playing with this stuff. :heart_eyes:

Word to the wise from the fool: unless you really love straight espresso or kick-you-in-your-face juice, this stuff needs a sweetener or to be mixed with caramel, cream, hazelnut, or the like. The search has ended for me…for now. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Hi Jim,

Was looking at recipes killing some time waiting for a techie to call and noticed you use TPA Horchata. How good is it. Do you recommend or should I try FWs?

Here’s what I can tell you. My wife loves it. She likes things with cinnamon. Me not so much; just barely a hint of bakery cinnamon or spicy cinnamon such as FA cinnamon Ceylon is what I can stand. I have not use any other Horchata flavor other than TPA. This flavor is in my stock to make my wife happy; nuff said.

I have tried it and thought it was palatable, nothing pungent or medicine like to make me never want to vape it again. I look at it like this, $3.25 for the experimentation factor is a bargain.

Got to keep the wife happy. Somewhere on this forum, and I believe quite recently, we were talking about Horchata. I actually would prefer no cinnamon or next to none myself. Guess I need to do a search and see what was said…Thanks!

I can do a stand alone Horchata mix test batch and let you know what I find. You’re making me interested in fact finding.

I’m kind of interested as well. I love horchata. Have you had the real thing? I’m interested to know how it compares.

Never have; does cinnamon play a big part in the flavor?

Yeah, kinda. It is basically a sweet cinnamon and vanilla rice (or sometimes almond) milk. There was a hole in the wall Mexican place when I lived in Texas that made it in-house and it was amazing.

I tried searching the forum for our discussion of horchata before but I guessing it is mispelled or I actually saw this info elsewhere. Seems to me I remember someone or something saying that Horchata made in mexico was different from that of horchata made in the states. I think it may have something to do with the cinnamon…

As in more or less? I’m not sure, but I know the stuff I got from the restaurant was way better than the mixes I’ve bought in grocery stores. I wanna say a good horchata (IMO of course) is rice and almond with cinnamon and a tad of sugar. The good one I had wasn’t super sweet, but just pleasantly so…kinda helped offset that salt and heat of the food, which I imagine may be the point of horchata? You’d think being a former Texan I’d know more about this, but alas…no.

I’ve lived in Texas for over forty years and honestly never tried Horchata. Probably time I did. I eat in Mexican Restaurants often so I need to check the menu…

Ok, figured out what it was I saw previously. I’m getting a order together for TFA and FW and when checking out TFA Horchata, they have horchata smooth, and plain horchata. The horchata smooth is a version with less cinnamon. Sounds like the one for me. I already have vape recipes dancing in my head…lol

Yikes! Totally forgot about the smooth, for those that like less cinnamon. Good catch!
