Orion’s Arrow takes a different approach to the ordinary Virginia/Perique blend. Firstly, the blend contains about 25% of the Cajun delight. Then red and bright Virginias are added, but what really set it apart is the addition of exotic Turkish tobaccos, resulting is a sweet, spicy and earthy blend that’s sure to satisfy.
Very satisfying vape. But now, it’s time to move on to a “And so to bed” type, Latakia juice; the perfect end of the day vape for me.
Hello all - 90% of my first order of flavorings came in from the Memorial Day Sales. I am very happy to say that I’ve made some popular recipes here and have concocted some of my own based on the flavor notes, recipe bases, & %'s posted here on this forum. bows * Thank you for your hard work, because without it, newbies like me would be in the dark.
I’ve included some pictures of the recipes I have made in the past 3 days. *Note - I’m an art professor: Fine Arts / Graphic Arts. My mother visited and I showed her my first DIY liquid attempt; which included my chicken scratch pen infused label. She gave me the side eye and said “You can do better than that”. #CollegeTuitionWellSpent. LOL.
Good plan. Once you get a supply made, you will always have some ready while others are still steeping. That way you can get the most from your flavors. However, I would make small batches/samples until you try something and know you like it. Otherwise you will either waste a lot of product by having to dump it, or not enjoy vaping at all if having to force yourself to vape something you don’t like.
I never make more than 10ml samples until a recipe is tested and I like it. Some people go all out though, I just can’t afford nor tolerate waste.
Hi @MysticRose. Thank you for the sound and sage advice. @Norseman had advised me of this as well for new recipes. So I have purchased 1/2 ounce amber glass bottles to experiment with mixes. Smaller plastic bottles for testing new flavors.
I also believe - waste not want not. I work hard for my money and I don’t burn it. I was careful to choose the more highly rated or popular recipes based on my flavor profile and read through all comments, suggestions, and reviews. I will be careful, and tread lightly.
Thank you for creating this recipe. It has now been steeping 5 days and it smells great. I knuckled it just now and sweet cookie flavor is rich and up front and is complimented by the strawberry - I taste the supporting flavor of the pear and it’s marrying nicely! I’m very excited to try it.
Thank you. For organization in my cabinet it’s helpful; plus modern & minimalist fonts are great. All you need is a nice color scheme and boom* ready to go.
Also, I found that If I use sharpie on tape, the sharpie rubs off if some of the mix drips on it. So I printed these labels then laminated each (so I can reuse them). So no more wasted paper.
Exotic Cigar is not exactly what I had hoped for, but I like it just the same. I haven’t done any remixing of the recipe yet, but would probably bump up the Tuscan Reserve by 0.5% and the Exotic by 0.5 - 1%. Still, as mixed it’s a solid vape.
I cannot recommend this vape at all. It’s weird - the first few puffs have an off taste I don’t like - and I suspect it’s the Perique. However, after those first few puffs it tastes better to me. I want to re-do this one, and plan to do just that. Until then I call this one a flop.
Not bad, but not good either. Well actually it is good. But it fails to hit my target. Should I be surprised? I fail over and over with anything that has cherry in it. Back to the drawing board.
DIY : 2 Popular recipes from ELR / AllTheRecipes and an experiment of my own. I also made a 120ml batch of “Strubarb Custard” by @Norseman.
*1 - Failed experiment at a Snickerdoodle Cream Cookie = me super focused to concur this recipe.
Still waiting on my order of flavors to make the recipes people recommended to me!
thank you, guys, i love lemonade and ice cream, i’ll try them together, btw, have you guys tried mint flavor or the recipe that adds menthol, is it weird?
I’ve only tried a commercial juice that had a mint flavor. It was by MILKSHAKE eliquids “Shamrock Shake”. I must say it’s spot on and very delicious. As far as menthol, I haven’t had any menthol vapes in about 4 years. There are some recipes on ELR where mint and menthol are the top notes.
