Never knew how good Anise based vapes were

I decided to experiment the other day: 5% TFA Anise, then 2% fruit. I'm trying different fruits with this.

At first the Anise is really strong, kind of like eating 10 black jelly beans at once.

After a couple of days though, the Anise blends into the vape, and the whole experience is really good.

I might try experimenting with Chocolate and other deserts based flavour concentrates.

 

Another similar flavour is horehound. A tad more subtle but I am having a lot of success with adding an accent of it to a lot of other flavours. It tends to knock back the sweetness without too much sour.

 

I recently tried good life vapors fairy blood & black fairy. Soooo good.

 

Hey PV, just wondering is the flavour based on the alcoholic drink, Anise (aka Anis), or is it a straight up black jellybean candy type flavour? My first goal in my DIY adventure is to create my namesake, the Sol y Sombra, which is a spanish drink, a simple blend of Anis and Brandy. I'm currently looking for a good brandy flavour aswell if you have any ideas?

 

It tastes more like black jelly bean, liqiorice flavour. I might try the Anise and Brandy vape though, sounds interesting.

 

Haha let me know how the experiment goes, it's a b.comtiful drink, should make a very nice vape.
If you're interested in the drink, go get some "Fundador" Brandy and "Anis Del Mono". Mix is around 50/50, although it varies to taste, more Anis for sweetness, more brankdy for sharpness.

 

For a strong Anise I like Steamers Apple Hookah. Same flavour just more subtle is Vapeking Double Apple Shisha.............yum!

 

T Juice Black and Blue - Great Aniseed flavouring . . .mixed at 15% 50VG / 50PG - Loving it !

 

What percentages are you using XX ?

 

Only 2-2.5% max in menthols but only 1% in fruit types.

I started at 3% in the menthols but its a little bit sour after a couple of weeks. Its a fine line.

I was trying to explain the flavour to someone and it's almost a mouth feel rather than a taste. Don't get me wrong there is a taste but it gives you that mouth tingle that acid flavours like bitter lemon or tonic.

 

I agree with Crisscross as regards the horehound, in small doses it gives a recipe a little something extra
**Thanks again Criss**

Purple, if you like Anise then try some Absinthe, the FW is so much better than the TPA. Also try the TPA Double Kiwi (it's great with a nice fresh clean taste) but I found the straight Kiwi (all brands) very "dead" and heavy in taste.

Kwiktech, yep I love the "fairies" too. Try the Magic Fairy as well ..... it rocks.

Sol ..... don't get sucked into overdoing the brandy. I haven't tried Brandy yet but if it's like the other liquor concentrates then it gets stronger the longer it steeps.

Cheers Sodd, I'll probably try a few at the same time, likewise with the aniseed ones, first on their own, then different mixes. It's basically my life's mission to make a proper one now!

 

The aniseed/ licorice flavours seem to tone down quite a lot as they age.

 

Try some Fennel concentrate if you like aniseed type vapes !
