OPIUM Remix

Description

**Opium – more than just a flavor, it's a feeling.** --- **!!!** Assuming that Tom Klark uses **Bergamot** for Opium, which according to HER has not been available for a long time, I tried to recreate the Bergamot aroma using **HER Lime** and **Orange**. After a long conditioning time, I unfortunately found that the result was only suboptimal. Therefore, I added **FA Cola** to the recipe, which Lime and Orange round out and brings the Remix closer to the original.\ Increased Oak Barrel for more woody depth; reduced Lime to soften the citrus and darken the profile **!!!** --- \ Its flavor profile is perfectly balanced and harmonious.\ So coherent that it embodies exactly what the name Opium promises: a state of deep calm and soothing relaxation.\ Its character is dark, earthy, peaty and authentic – like an fine whiskey.\ This liquid is the key to a moment of complete serenity. I've always been fascinated by Tom Klark’s liquids. His compositions are true masterpieces and stand out clearly from those of other manufacturers.\ Anyone familiar with his liquids knows exactly what I mean.\ In particular, „Utopium" (formerly Opium) and "Schwarzer Hahn" are, in my opinion, among his greatest creations – they’ve been with me for quite some time. After an intense development phase, I’d now like to present my personal interpretation of one of these special liquids. \ Opium Remix is not a replica! – and was never intended to be one.\ Rather, my remix is meant to be a tribute to Tom Klark and his outstanding original. \ That’s why I made the conscious decision to preserve the original name „OPIUM" in its honor. --- **FLV Oak Barrel:** Dry, dark, and smoky notes of an American whiskey barrel.\ **FLV Oriental:** Spicy, light tobacco with hints of cedarwood and a touch of caramel.\ **HER Kentucky (USA):** Smooth, dark, earthy tobacco.\ **HER Lime (Limette)**: Authentic lime flavor.\ **HER Orange:** Sun-ripened, sweet, and zesty orange. **FA Cola:** A subtle cola flavor with light sweetness, spicy undertones, and hints of citrus and herbs. --- \ **1:10 Method to Simplify Measuring Very Small Amounts** 1 ml flavor + 9 ml PG → 10% solution\ 0.003 × total volume (ml) = amount of 10% solution needed to get 0.03% flavor in the final mix.\ \ Best with 70/30 VG/PG base.\ Steeping time: at least 14 days – can be tested after 7 days. Enjoy!
