    Well, I kind of like that little tickle but if it is to strong for the recipe then Miss. Marshmallow will smooth things out. :)

    Mixing By Weight: Basics 101

    Was it any where near? How was it different? Sweeter not sweet enough. VBIC has a bit of a sharp note in the background, almost a very light cinnamon or super light pepper. Is that present in the store bought. The store bought was undoubtedly a mix of several flavors. The store description...

    Ok, have you tried TFA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream yet?

    Is there really such thing as as a no steep recipe?

    Sorry, found one I liked and stopped there. I do have TFA French Vanilla Cream but that is different, much creamier as the name would imply. 12% has always been a pretty good general area for FW.

    If you never tried it, FW French Vanilla plays well with all those flavors and is one of my all time favorite stand alones,

    It's not the size of the bottle hole but rather the batch size. With a bigger batch, small errors are much less noticeable. I like repeat-ability. I do appreciate variations on a recipe but I want to intentionally call that and not by random chance. Keep us posted!

    Well, throw out a flavor profile and let's have a go at it. We may not get yo all the way to cloning your fav. but you may also find that you can actually do it better because you can tailor it to your personal taste.

    Well, if you have yet to be successful, perhaps you should try doing something different. 30ml of DIY juice should have cost you less than 60 cents. A small price to pay to know that you are probably making a more accurate representation of your recipe because if every thing you tried to...

    Is this a bad watermelon flavor?

    For every successful recipe that I have developed, there have been five that have met the kitchen sink.

    What's the strangest flavor of ejuice you've tried?

    FW Cinnamon Red Hot. Even at low percentages it was like vaping pepper spray.

    I'll echo those sentiments. If you don't already have a habit, don't start. Putting anything in your lungs other than clean air can not be helpful. While we are certain that vaping is safer than smoking, we really don't know the possible long term effects of vaping are.

    Glad you took the leap to see what it is about. Yes, making a 10ml batch is a little difficult. That is why I never do it. To much of a margin of error. But, it would be much easier to make an error with the syringe than with the scale. A 30ml batch cost about 10 cents more and you have a...

    The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

    I use the Achilles clone as my daily vape (if any one wants to get rid of one PLEASE let me know) but I find the wells are so deep that switching flavors is a pain in the but. That is why I use the little I-go. In my oppinion, lung hitting does not give any where near the flavor profile that a...

    The I-go L was is and always shall be my testing atty. I put a little bow tie wick in it and drip a few drops on it. To me, this gives a true flavor profile. You can change flavors without rinsing since there is so little liquid or a quick rinse in warm water and a quick dry fire makes it...

    Is there really such thing as as a no steep recipe?

    FW Butter pecan has been one of my staples since I began mixing. A very versatile flavor and even good as a stand alone if you have a sweet tooth.

    Little itty bitty mods under $100.

    You do know that that is what the little strip of cloth is for right? When you put the battery in you make sure that the ribbon is under the battery and sticking up out the other side. Then all you need to do is lift the ribbon and the battery will pop right out. The S-body is so tight that...
