Adding stuff to Red Astaire

[CaptainChaos]

Just on the offchance that someone has added something to Red Astaire & thought "oooOOOooohhhh that's rather special"

What can I add to the concentrate to make a bit more "special" - anise/cinnamon/menthol/hellfire/cherry/lemonade/cola etc?

Thanks in advance.

i added loads of menthol to mine when i got sick of it, and it made it much better

Mixed some with vanilla custard juice and it was yummy

Added some Koolada but it did not make much difference.
Added some more liquorice too and this worked well.

will agree with that done it by mistake,takes a bit of getting used to ,just seemed wrong with the two being mixed

[CaptainChaos]

I'll do 3 different mixes - some with anise, some licorice, some lemon sherbert & see what happens

Once did a 50/50 mix with Green Steam (well 10% of each concentrate). It was certainly different, but pretty nice to be honest.

[CaptainChaos]

Oooh this is getting exciting now - can't wait for my night shifts to start mixing stuff buwahahahahahaha

Ok, final question for now ....

I usually do 70PG/30VG and 24mg

Will changing any of those give a better flavour / taste?

[xs2man]

T Juice mix theirs at 80/20 apparently. And probably less nicotine will increase the flavour, if you can live with less nicotine (I just vape more). But it depends on how you vape it also.

For example, I used to vape 36mg, then down to 24mg, but now down to around 14-16. And usually 70/30 too. However, I mix a different combination when I'm dripping. So for dripping purposes, I'll go 40/60 and 10-12 mg, as I drip on sub ohm coils, so reducing the nic and throat hit works perfectly for me. But use the normal mix for normal tank vaping.

[CaptainChaos]

Thanks xs2man - I don't do the dripping thing (yet).

Are you saying that there is little or no difference between 70/30 24mg and 50/50 18mg, or will one bring more of the flavour out?

[xs2man]

More PG will bring out more flavour. And, at least to me, less nicotine brings out more flavour.

I reduce the PG and the nicotine when dripping though, because otherwise my throat gets annihilated (PG giving flavour and throat hit), and the more VG, the more clouds with sub-ohm cloud chasing (not that I care about clouds of vapour to be honest).

Nicotine is just nicotine, but I find that more nic mutes the flavour slightly. But I reduce it when dripping because I now love the vape from a dripper, so can drip more without over-niccing.

[CaptainChaos]

Ok, I've got PG Nicotine Base & VG Nicotine Base - what should I use & what percentages ... 72mg of each

Check the threads....I put up a thread the other day about adding blackcurrant to RA.....its lush....I also added extra menthol...........get yaself some blackcurrant and you wont look back

10% RA, 3% jj menthol worked for me before, more refreshing.
