    Yes, there are a dozen or so that are tank crackers, syringe killers, etc. :shock: :evil: :danger: Some where on this thread is a list of them, but I couldn't find them with a quick check. Others, though, will pipe in with the answers. I can tell you that they come in a different plastic...

    I use the EJuiceMeUp Calculator and have enjoyed watching it evolve over the last few years. It does everything I need and more. While there are many new calculators out there, I'm used to what I started with, i.e., the EJMU, and see no need to learn a new system. Of course, it wasn't always...

    Bit the bullet and bought the 5 gallon tub of VG. Pricing was great, shipping very expensive. All in all, I would do so again, and haven't bought any VG, or needed to for a year and a half now. It'll probably last me over two years. I just refill two 32 oz bottles and keep them in my cabinet for...

    Start with the same recommended percentage and adjust up or down to taste preference. As a general rule, we should be mixing our juices, regardless of recipe, to suit our individual taste preferences. Recipes are just a great starting point to do so. I don't think I've ever met a recipe that...

    I have not used this as an ADV, but when you want to spice it up for a bit, the lemon and the key lime are both go-to juices for me, and I keep 150 mils of each around for those moments. Thanks for the like! I do like the pies, the danishes, the fruits.....heck...I like 'em all pretty much...

    From my blogs and juice making history: I like pie. Yes, I'm a pie man. Here's some pies that I like: Lemon Meringue Pie Lemon - 12% Marshmallow - 6% Bavarian Cream - 4% Cotton Candy - 5% Graham Cracker - 3% Dutch Apple Pie ala Mode, my Signature juice: Apple - 12% French Vanilla - 4%...

    In my experience, I have seen the lemon fade a little with time, but not by much. Maybe its the citric acid which I add. It does not disappear for me, just dilutes slightly. My normal usage is 12% when used as a primary flavoring. For many flavors, 12% is a whole lot of primary flavoring, so...

    Try actual lemon juice. Remember, these flavors are all food additives anyway. Play around with percentages just like any other flavoring. Consider citric acid, which I have pounds of. Very useful to lock in flavors and it'll clean your dish washer amazingly well too! :2c: :toast: :D :2cool...

    As coffee is an acquired taste, so, too, is it an acquired vape...all due its bitterness, bolstered by its affect. While the taste is easily duplicated, we often drink coffee for its affect and largely ignore the taste, or tolerate the taste, or acquire the taste. Once we "add" cream and sugar...

    I got mine on Amazon: Amazon.com: Norpro 3-Piece Stainless Steel Funnel Set: Kitchen & Dining Decent set. Metal. But, there are far less expensive solutions. Good luck! :toast: :D :thumb: :vapor:

    Have to say that I'm the exact opposite. I can't taste any sweetness in the fruits, though I can taste some iteration of the base fruit, either, usually, the fruit, or the peel/skin. But, as you know, I do use a lot of sweetener, particularly cotton candy in my mixes. To each their own, my...

    There are several ways to eliminate the perfume/floral/chemical notes in our juices: How To Eliminate the Chemical/Floral Notes in the Mix | E-Cigarette Forum It is almost always NOT too much flavoring, but incomplete flavoring that does this to mixes.

    My vaping journey has been down, up and all around. I started vaping in 2009. Quit. Smoked. Vaped again in 2011. Quit. Smoked. Vaped again in 2012 and it worked! Each time a New Year's Resolution....so four years for me now. The gear improved to the point to where I could get enough nicotine...

    Yes, creams, vanillas and sweeteners all work together to eliminate the chemical/floral/sharp notes that you speak about. Raspberry and Strawberry at 2% will also do the same, and there are others, as well. I have a blog about this subject in my writings. The creams, vanillas and sweeteners...

    Good to know and thank you! The danishes provide perhaps the greatest flexibility of any "Base" flavoring with the most options. Surprisingly, they've worked with every fruit and nut I've tried thus far. And simple, perhaps four ingredients, occasionally five. A solid 20% flavoring (+/-)...

    Like you, I too, must have my daily cinnamon fix....well, all day long, actually! Sounds like a winner, but testing (100DT's) will confirm any direction and intensity changes. I tende to use graham cracker with pie crust, but never apple pie, as I never get a good flavor separation. I tend to...

    Recommend you add 3 - 6% sweet cream to 3 - 6% vanilla (there are many, start with Vanilla Swirl), and add to the fruits. Start at 3% and work your way up. They will not dominate the mix at 6% or less, but will add depth, creaminess, etc. Also, I would always add either/both cotton candy and...

    Regarding the TFA cheesecake recipes, I have never been able to make one that was outstanding, nor have I seen another recipe that was outstanding. The Lite Cheesecake recipe is my own from the dropbox, and as I have said before on this thread, it is passable, at best. I've been somewhat...

    Yes, let us know and "see" the recipe. I've done it and it's wonderful when sweetened. Also, mixing the two blueberries is the only way I've gotten them to work, i.e., together, or not at all. :thumb: :thumb: :pop: :pop:
