    You'll get a lot of input on this. I've tried pretty much everything and settled on taste testing with the gear that I vape with on a daily basis. I may or may not rewick between mixes. I may or may not change to a backup device between mixes. I'm trying to get a sense for the taste, which takes...

    I don't. But, you can go to the TFA site and look at the specific list of ingredients for each of their flavors and figure it out, or get very close to figuring it out by studying the ingredient list and comparing the ingredients of those flavors to the ingredients of the various creams. Good...

    Interesting! Of course, LFM work, and most all of the juice makers started with LFM, and many remain with LFM, some, even critical of HFM. So, we have now gone full circle, I suppose. The answer to your question is an absolute YES! LFM do work and use lower percentages and longer steep times to...

    Why not? Roughly the same price as the ounce at TFA with bulk discount! :D

    I think this difficulty with some flavorings is generally true of several of the tank cracker juices, provided there is not a lot of additional flavorings added to the mix to help reduce the percentage tank cracker juice and overall flavoring in the mix. It stands to reason that if these...

    That would be a fair deduction. While not all of the flavorings have an immediate impact on our plastic syringes, etc., some actually do and can chew through these materials instantly. For this reason, I buy syringes by the box! :ohmy: :toast: :D :2cool: :vapor:

    Tensioned Micro Coils. The next step.

    You can't say it often enough for me, my friend. Again, you nailed it, reminded us of it, and hopefully we all learn it, never forget it, adopt it, and allow our vape to go that magic performance level, of which you speak. I know I do! Well done, again, to you and Russ, and all that contribute...

    My friends, I wish I had used a different word than micro management, because it is a little too strong for what I intended. My apologies. Yes, just trying to keep it real, simple, and easy to do with an eye, always, for helping the new juice maker, and to encourage all to make their own juices...

    Using Bill's 100DT Taste Test Method

    Well, I certainly hope you like them! By the way, I always recommend taste testing juices ATM (at the time of mix). Even though the juices are not fully blended, let alone steeped and aerated, you can get perhaps 90 - 95% of the taste right at this time, without delay and without waiting. This...

    Stacy, almost any TFA fruit flavoring can be mixed as follows: Fruit - 7 - 15% (varies by flavor, strength, etc.) Sweet Cream - 5% (can substitute other creams such as Bavarian cream, etc.) Vanilla Swirl - 4 - 5% (can substitute other vanillas, but the Swirl is the sweetest of the bunch)...

    I think of TFA flavors as ingredients in a mix, carefully constructed, with maximum flexibility in recipe making. There are a few TFA flavorings that don't play nice with others. However, many other brands are stronger. Even small amounts can dominate a mix. I have used FA and FW flavorings that...

    No, rather quite the opposite. The vanillas, creams and sweeteners tend to super enhance the primary flavorings while lending balance and smooth flavoring. Of course, you can overdo it, but keeping the percentages at about 50% of the mix or less, you won't have a problem with the secondaries...
