Flavour Art Black Fire
T_Mace
Specs:
- percentage used: 3%
- 1 month steep
- PG/VG ratio: 50/50
- vaped on NarDA rda, A1 Kanthal, 28 gauge, spaced coil, 1.77 ohm, 12-18 watts
Type Of Tobacco
- non-aromatic (*caveat - This is not a standalone, it's a support tobacco which should be used as an accent flavor)
Flavor Properties:
- smokey
- dry
- warm feel
Relatable Flavors:
- smoke (if you've ever tasted liquid smoke, this is pretty close, if you've never tasted liquid smoke, think bbq smokiness)
- In lower doses this definitely imparts a taste of burning tobacco (the combustion part without any actual tobacco leaf flavor)
- at 3%, I get a fleeting sweet note that comes and goes sparingly. It's caramel if anything and very hard to detect, once you notice it, it's gone
Mouth Feel:
- medium density
Off Flavors:
- none
Position In A Recipe:
- accent, use in small amounts to add the smoke/burning note to your tobacco mixes
Suggested Percentage:
- max 3%, most would say 0.5-1%
- it can and will overpower mixes above 1%
Pairings:
- taken straight from someone else's notes: Get your tobacco recipe to your liking, then add Black Fire in small steps, just 0.25% at a time, for a realistic smoke effect.
Conclusion:
- Will fit into any "oh my god this tastes like tobacco" blend.
- At 3% it's kinda harsh, even for me and I don't mind my vapes rough around the edges.
- FA Black Fire and INW Dirty Neutral Base are cousins and do share similarities.
- Black Fire is smoke but no ash tray taste and it has that slight sweetness. INW DNB has some smoke to it but really adds that acrid ashy note which kicks in about halfway through a smoking a cigarette. It also has zero sweetness.
- They can certainly be used together, low in the mix, to get you as close to burning tobacco as possible.
- If I had to choose only 1, I would go with Dirty Neutral Base.
- I went in hard at 3%, it was uncalled for, I regret nothing.
