    If I were limited to ten flavors, I would go about it a bit differently. I would seek out recipes that sounded good to me and order the ingredients for those recipes, and then build on my flavorings over time. It really does take about 30 - 50 flavorings, though, to get all the basics that will...

    I can vouch for the Yellow Cake. Though not a TFA flavoring, I consider it a fundamental flavoring, and one of only two or three non-TFA flavorings that is essential. TFA Cupcake, though, also works well in combination with other flavorings. Haven't posted a starting flavor list in quite a...

    I would probably start with a 10/5/5 combination and work from there. Won't take long to tie it down to your taste preferences with only three ingredients. Good luck! :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    Biscuits and Honey with Sweetener makes for a nice vape. Not an ADV for me, but one of the many once in a while vapes I enjoy. You can also use biscuits with many of the Danish and cake recipes. Very versatile. I prefer yellow cake, but works similarly. Good luck! :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    Great looking recipe. Study the ingredients, i.e., Bavarian Cream, Sweet Cream, Vanilla Swirl and Koolada, and you have the Basic Milkshake Stone or Base that we've published here before a year ago, or so. Now, to that base, add the Crème de Menthe (the Shamrock) and the Malted Milk (Another...

    I haven't tried the Captain Crunch myself, but I didn't see anyone else respond to you, so that's what I'm doing. I have seen some Captain Crunch recipes on this thread, and you should be able to search for them. As I recall, I remember some sounded very promising for you. I don't believe I ever...

    I think some of the blending/mixing problems you are having are aeration issues. I use beakers with large surface areas to aerate the juices for a couple of hours after about 30 seconds of vigorous shaking/mixing via glass stirrers. The juices are generally 98% of the way there at this time. By...

    Depending on what you make, you may not need a week to steep a juice. High Flavor Mixes allow you to shake and vape. There are literally hundreds of HFM on this thread, none of which require any steeping. Good luck! :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    Add a couple of drops of citric acid to the mix. It will stop the mix from any substantial changes. The combination of high flavor percentage mixes coupled with citric acid will lock in the flavor as it is at roughly the time of mix. I use this about 75% of the time. A 10% solution in PG is all...

    I vape everything at 70% VG and 30% PG, and they taste just fine to me. I need at least 30% PG as many of my recipes use 30% flavoring, so I'm pretty much stuck there, but it still provides a great vape, and I believe that is probably about the most common ratio out there. Again, to each their...

    Ok. Well, that's quite a bit lower than I use. I'm vaping my CD right now with a 1.5 ohm coil at 10.4 Watts, or about 4 volts but with lower resistance than you are using. 1.8 ohms at 3.4 volts is only about 6.5 watts. I think it would taste better to me at about 5 volts, or even more. But...

    Good point. I mix to a power setting of 10.0 to 12.0 watts. Depending on your resistance, you're probably pretty close to that range. :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    I haven't tried that flavoring. You should post your Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream with Choco Sprinkles. Sounds wonderful. :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    It's going to be about all you're going to get in 24 hours. Blending is required, but shouldn't need a long steep. If you like candy bars, I think the peanut butter cup, the butterfinger, almond joy, among others are spot on, imho. Good luck to you! :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    Don't use the coffee flavorings so much. However, if I want a dark chocolate flavoring, I need the coffee to get there. :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    Don't we actually have to test every flavoring for ourselves anyway? I have yet to find a chart on any starting percentages that worked for me. Either the range was so large as to be unuseful, or the percentage recommended was wrong for me. The Flavor Chart I just posted allows us to find the...

    Welcome and thank you, clnire! By the way, I think it's obvious, but just thought I would mention to everyone that this method will get you within 2.5% of the starting flavoring on any primary flavoring that you may use. Within the 2.5% you will use the 100DT just as in any other normal taste...
