About Smooth TPA?! I just SFT’D Unicorn Vomit; like most fruity type vapes, they need to have that edge knocked off… I have smooth, but never used it. The notes read it’s a flavor enhancer that smooths things out. Do you guys have any experience with this flavor?! Thanks in advance!!

Same for me, I have the smooth in my fridge for a long time now, and I never use it yet.

Just use a little Vanilla Swirl , Smooth contains Tracetin and thats what is rounding the harsh notes. Vanilla Switl contains it as well…FA MTS is same as smooth.

@D.Sims I’m not a huge fan of it, and never used it. I think it numbs some of your flavor receptors or something, hehe, solid no from me. Like others have said, you can easily knock the edges off with Marshmallows, creams, even EM if needed. Just my .02.

@D.Sims …

" Triacetin- Sold as aaa magic mask by fa, and is a main ingredient of mts vape wizard by fa, smooth by tpa, and flavor toner/enhancer by fw. This stuff is used in many processed foods and in cigarette filters to smooth out harsh notes. It does this by temporarily numbing certain taste receptors in your tongue. This is the reason you can stomach breakfast cereals, microwave meals, and all the added paper and other trash they put in commercial cigarettes. Likewise, it can make some ejuices tolerable, maybe even tasty, that without it would be abominable."[3]

" In a 1994 report released by five top cigarette companies, triacetin was listed as one of the 599 cigarette additives. The triacetin is applied to the filter as a plasticizer."[4]

@D.Sims you should do an A/B comparison. Mix up two (or more) 10ml bottles of that Unicorn Vomit, and compare straight, with another with a marshmallow, another with vanilla swirl, and another with smooth. See what YOU think.

I used FA MTS once and it stole my beloved high notes; threw it away. Just 1-2 drop in a 30ml is all I added.
