I received my order a couple of days ago. Here are my thoughts on them thus far:
Blueberry 5% - not steeped - Kind of floral, but it seems all vendor's berry flavors are. Many folks don't like it but I mixed together equal parts of the following and found it to be a pleasant vape. I wouldn't say it would knock your socks off, but it's one that I was able to finish off without re-wicking.
BERRIES N CREAM
HAN Raspberry 5% (1.6% total)
HAN Blueberry 5% (1.6% total)
VZ Super Concen. cream 3% (1% total) ( you could also use VZ reg concen. bavarian cream @ 3% total in leiu of the Super concentrate Cream and get a slightly sweeter note)
HAN Espresso - 3% Very strong flavor, but a clean coffee vape (no burnt office coffe flavor). Good as a stand alone @ 3% and it's an in your face flavor if your taste buds are whacked
HAN Cappicino - @7% very weak coffee flavor with lots of cream. A good blender with espresso. not bad needs some punch from other flavors.
HAN Caramel Mocha - @5% - A little more coffee flavor than cappucino. Much sweeter, tastes like it's sweetened with honey and maybe caramel. decent on it's own.
CREAMY COFFEE BLEND -This comes out as a very nice coffee with cream flavor that is well balanced and just a little sweet. This is a good ADV candidate for me.
I mixed equal parts of:
HAN Espresso 5% (1.65% total)
HAN Cappucino 7% (2.31% Total)
HAN Caramel Mocha 5% (1.65% total)
HAN Raspberry @5% - Not steeped - Like the blueberry, there is a floral effect to this one as well, but it is still the best raspberry I have had yet. It is still a pleasant vape, but you might want to add sweetener or cream to it.
HAN Banana - @5% - Not Steeped - Too strong. This one is liekly a great flavor that I will need to water down a bit and revisit. It shows promise, especially as a blender.
HAN Pineapple @7% - not steeped - Too strong. This one is a VERY popular flavor that folks really like. I think it would be much happier at 3-5%. I will come back to this one at a future date.
HAN Apple @5% - This is a much better apple flavor than the TFA Tart Aplle Granny Smith @10% ( that was nasty). This is a clean apple taste. YOu might try 3% forst to see if you like it, then bump up the flavor.
I will update this thread as I refine these flavors to find their individual sweet spots and any mixtures I come up with. I really like the VZ Bavarian cream and the VZ Super Concen. Cream as mixers. Any fruit flavors that don't seem quite right seem to benefit from the addition of a 3% mix of super cream or 10% mix of bavarian cream to equal parts of the Hangsen fruit flavors.
I still have more flavors to test including Juicy Peach, Mango, Cocoa, Coffee, Red Cola, and others.
During mixing, I test with either a Magma RDA, or a Kracken RBA with single coils and cotton wicks.
I keep my temperatures low and my coils are generally 1.6-1.8 ohms.
I like the Kracken for testing because I can just pull off the top and do a quick burn off and re-wick from a cotton ball in under a minute. Then I'm off to the next flavor with a minimum of fuss and effort. I usually use a 60pg/40vg to 75pg/25. I am rather indiscriminate about which I use, but I am leaning towards making everything 60/40 due to cooler/more voluminous vapor. I don't think I am a cloud chaser, but I get great clouds with that mix (this helps me determine if a flavor is effecting vapor production).
Please share your recipes so we can all find the Ethereal Mana we seek.
