I am going to try this. I will have to look at what % I used when I mixed mine up, but it's a little strong and I need something to round it out.

Thanks.

I have to ask, what the hell is taste testing in water??? is that a thing??
Some of the flavor makers have suggested putting a drop or two into a bit of water to taste the flavor before mixing. Tried it, yuk.......for me, smell is a much better indicator of whether I will like it or not. And sometimes you can't tell, you just have to make it and vape it.

:)

FWIW, and not to knock re-bottlers I have found some to be off-color, and different potency my self, I usually buy 4 oz. when I find a flavor I like and use a lot, but have used different companies to buy from, and they were different, in not only color but taste. I am not saying they diluted it. but it was more than likely a age or storage issue. I have found out of the the re-bottled the most consistent were BCF, Heartland, and Nicotine River.

For pistachio I usually reach for F.A. For the Ice cream part you have TFA Vanilla bean Ice Cream, or Cap VBIC, some people get a peppery taste from tfa I really don't unless I push it past 4-5 % I like to mix the two at a even ratio about 3% each so here is a shot in the dark for somthing close.
3% TFA VBIC
3% Cap VBIC
1.5 % F.A Pistachio
and then round it out with maybe 1% each of the following
TFA sweet Cream and/or F.A Fresh Cream
TFA Bavarian and/or FW Bavarian
F.A. and/or TFA Marshmallow
TFA Vanilla Swirl /CAP Vanilla Custard V1 or V2 depending on preference. INW Vanilla shisha could work here too.
That should give a good Starting base, if you wan't to add a cone you could try .5 INW biscuit,or .5 Jungle flavors Biscuit and a drop of A.P. and maybe 1-2% Cap sugar cookie. So here is a rough sample
3% TFA VBIC
3% CAP VBIC
1% F.A. Fresh Cream
1% Bavarian Cream
1.5% Fa. Pistachio
1% Marshmallow
1% Vanilla swirl
.5% Biscuit
1.5% Cap Sugar Cookie
.02 A.P. or a drop per 10-15ml.
Then just play with you %'s of pistachio to get a good balance. just rambling things at percentages I would use them at. and sounds good on paper.
The A.P. May also help out the Pistachio be more forward , just be care full with A.P to much and you will have a bowl of fritos in milk. give a good week or 2 to steep.

Off subject i know. But I want pistachio ice cream mix anyone any ideas.
You started this thread so you really can't commit the OT foul here;). However, you may prefer to ask this question as an new thread, with something like "Pistachio Ice Cream recipes?" for your title, so you get your question in front of more of the community. There may be those with good answers that are not following this particular thread's topic. Just a thought. :D

No worries at all. You got what you wanted and that is what matters:D.
I can't give an honest answer about TFA vs. FA Pistachio because I have only used TFA's offering. That said; I like it (TFA that is). It is not quite pistachio to me, but then again, neither was any of the commercially mixed pistachio e-liquids... AND it could very well be my wacky taste buds too. It has a warm, roasty, almost toasty, nutty flavor that is both unique and pleasing. But I don't think, that if you were to sneak a tank of pistachio into my daily rotation, I would be able to say "Oh; that's pistachio!" without some effort. I am happy with TFA's version and don't feel any need chasing this flavor in other vendor lines.
