DRT Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 what other flavored liquids can i use in my base without fucking it up? i've heard milk, coffee and lemon juice work well, but i was wondering if i could use other things (like gatorade or iced tea) to get a different flavor and how effective it would be.

Arcane Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 water or if you're daring....water with ice....preferably melted ice.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitetimeReign Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I've used orange juice, peach concentrate juice, orange soda, blueberry juice all I can think of right now. I just made sure to wash it out right after the smoke session and my QT works like the first day I got it. Which is like a champ..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoepfer Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I've done coke, dr. pepper, powerade. milk, coconut milk, pineapple juice, monster, redbull, ummm maybe others but i can't recall at the moment. usually i put something like that to accompany the flavors in teh bowl. for instance. (Monster base + mint, rose, orange, lemon AF equal parts) or (AF 1 part cinnamon, 2 parts cafe latte, 1 part cocktail with redbull base) or (coke with AF 1 part vanilla, 2 part cherry, 1/2 part cola) or (Dr. Pepper with AF 2 part berry, 1 part vanilla) "this tastes like a berrys n cream DP and its amazingly smooth" or also (AF Orange, vanilla, coconut + Orange Crush base) thats just a couple of recipies i came up with. In case you haven't noticed i like AF haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotsi95 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Currently im smoking tangiers cocoa with horchata. I usually put a lil swiss mix in the vase, it doesnt really do much but i only really do it when i smoke this blend. I ALWAYS wash the vase out right after im done smoking.

ih303 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Search for this, bud. There's got to be at least a thousand threads exactly like this one around here. We should seriously have an FAQ section of the forum where all this stuff is stickied since it gets asked so often. Oh, and for the record, I'll throw some lemon slices in my base from time to time, but generally save my beverages for drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushrat Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 go to advanced search enter +liquid +base and you'll get some good results. I reccomend staying away from milk personally, but thats your call. I have used diluted Murphy's stout and SB Irish Cream. Fanta orange soda with Tang. Orange soda And some customer actually wasted a Raspberry lambic in a base with AA raspberry in the bowl. Base liquid can give you an added flavour but can make clean up an extra special event. as far as alcohol, with the exception of people who use anise flavoured base liquors (which I hate) with say 2 apple, I prefer to drink my booze and smoke my tobacco.

[/quote] +1 What a waste of a good lambic! IMO, the flavor you get from base additives is negligible. That being said, I too prefer to drink my drinks and smoke my smokes. My bases will continue being filled with good ol' H2O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahir Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I personally love seeing these topics in my opinion. It's cool because no matter the time period....whether it is now, or like 3 or 4 years ago, the answer seems to be the same " I've tried this and that....but water....and water/ice combo" seems to be the consensus. I remember a few years back, there was a product named hookah juice, which ironically were the same flavor choices as the sno-cone syrups available at walmart packaged in a vile. Whether or not it was that or not...I am not sure. But it was a great attempt to market a product to put in a vase. I did try it, and low an behold....nothing was effected in my opinion. I stick to crushed ice and water. The crushed ice is something I have been using as of recent, and I find that I do enjoy it. I need all the cold I can get down here....especially in the summer! It's hot! Overall, I am going with the consensus of water or water/ice. -Mahir P.s - I too will stick to smoking my smokes and drinking my alcohol -- Arnold Palmer anyone??

bigtoepfer Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 well i guess I'm in the minority in that I believe it has a vast effect on the smoke. milk seems to thicken the smoke. But that could just be a side effect of the coldness. Now also when it comes to carbonated beverages you get a head rush from the carbonation too. just sayin. I think play around with it and if it makes a difference for you then great. If it doesn't the great too. We used to do it alot at the lounge I ran because its was just another way to spice things up. Not to mention it was an add on sale haha. regardless i believe it makes a difference. As you can see from my above post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
