Well tried some of the Harvest Berry batch with flavor at 5% in a 60pg/40vg 18mg batch. Man is this stuff outstanding on its own. Tastes like a fruit roll up with a crisp pop of redbull but no tartness. This can easily be a daily vape and its only steeped for 2 days. Cant wait to try the others.

Shilo, if you have marshmallow try adding some to you chocolate fudge brownie. It tastes just like hot chocolate with marshmallows. 
Also a little Vanilla Custard will make your Double Chocolate creamier.
It's funny because when I taste EM I get a super sweet taste from it and my mixes come out much sweeter when I use it. Maybe it's the quantity I use but I find it to be a great sweetener and mixed with a drop of sucralose really pumps it up. When you taste Cotton Candy is it sweet to you? All that is is EM and it's very sweet to me. I figure if people vape Cotton Candy why not add it in the same quantities as I would want a strong flavor to be. I sometimes add a high percentage to flavors I want to be very sweet and candy-like.

I swear to you GoodDog and anybody reading this--I hated chocolate flavorings until I tried these. Everything else I tried just tasted like a vaguely chemically cocoa yuk. These however are stupendous!!!
GoodDog yes I need to get their marshmallow. My husband is in love and its not me---its the chocolates I made him! LOL
I use the EM in higher ratios than I've seen mentioned here with no ill effect. I find it to be sweet enough for me for most things but something about certain of these Capella's you don't need as much sweetener because the flavor itself is so true. I might cave and get the sucralose one of these days.
Even the Capella's flavors you might not care for, the smell of each flavor is exactly as they should be across the board on the 12 I got to start. And i have one fussy sniffer so I know I'm right on this fact. That, in itself is very impressive and something I've not encountered with similar flavorings by other companies.
ok so i got ahold of some Cap Peanut Butter & Vanilla Custard... thanks you know who you are..lol
i mixed these with some FA Caramel, a little TPA double chocolate,EM and after a day of sitting it tastes different than when i first mixed it(of course)...
IMHO Cap peanut butter tastes like peanut brittle...
i do not know what else to make with these flavors.
heres what i have
cap peanut butter
cap vanilla custard
tfa hazelnut
FW sugar cookie
FA caramel
TFA marshmallow
EM
tfa double chocolate
? Fudge brownie(not cap)
DIYFS sugar cream
tfa banana

I would either up the caramel or add marshmallow to add creaminess or moisture. How much EM did you use?
Another thing I noticed, the vanilla custard should be used sparingly in a multiple ingredient recipe as it can overpower things if its too high. JMO.
I hate to give advice to people who vape higher VG than me because I vape higher PG lower VG and have no clue what is best for a 50/50 mix. I would think you would need more of a softening flavoring if it tastes brittle. I am sure STR8 will be here soon to set us straight on the topic...unless he's out on a hot date or something.....lol
this mixture doesnt taste bad, it just seems to be missing a kick or something...maybe i need it a little sweeter...i just added a little marshmallow to see if that will help
and you are right, i do mix all my liquids 50/50

I always went by the idea of higher VG ratios with bakery flavors . The higher vg imo adds sweetness and creamyness . Iv noticed that all the vendors selling bakery flavors use a higher vg ratio for a reason . Every vendor would love to have the thinnest juice possible but they still end up with a 60vg or 70vg on bakery juices . I tested this in my PBcup recipe . I originally made it 40vg but when i tried it at 60vg it made a big difference in richness . As far as PB flavorings i dont get Pbrittle with capellas . Capellas is much more creamy like real PB . TPA PB is like Pbrittle . I think of tpa's as Peanuts and butter instead of PeanutButter lol . When you combine Caps and TPA at the right ratio it makes a Perfect PB .
Marshmallow i also find is one of the best flavors there is for enhancing the creamyness . Marshmallow flavoring has special properties just like EM . Marshmallow gives a almost numbing moistness of the tongue and greatly improves overall mouth feel .

the marshmallow helped when i added it to my mixture...i ended up mixing a 15% vanilla custard stand alone liquid.
to my original mixture, i added a little bit of the stand alone mixture and thats what the mixture need for my tasting, a little more vanilla custard..i dont think i would vape this everyday but it does taste pretty good.
i just need to purchase some more TPA peanut butter, i really like that flavor in my mixes. the two together like you do Str8 does sound like a good mixture.

Vanilla custard is probably the best mixing flavor there is but its not really strong enough for a standalone if you like sweet rich vapes .
Oh this is soooo funny.
Look waaay back in this thread and you'll find everyone else saying exactly the same thing to YOU! lol! You had your heals dug in though and just weren't buying it. I would suggest anyone starting in or frustrated with diy to at least try a 5 or 6 pack whenever they have one of their sales. Start by reading the labels and decide which flavors appeal to you, and go from there. There are a few flavors that aren't my favorites (out of the 35 I bought!), but I don't hate any of them. With the other flavor companies I might try a dozen and find ONE acceptable.

LOL . I was gonna comment on that when she posted it .
I have to say that these chocolate flavors are outstanding. I just can't vape it very often. I find I like the fruity flavor much more. I haven't tried heavy vg in my mix but you bring up some interesting points. Im actually quite happy with my mix at 60 pg/ 40 vg. I agree the vanilla custard is very strong and I wouldn't use very much if adding it you a mix. I do life the apple pie though and thinking of adding some menthol to it as well.

Rub it in why don't you
LOL I agree I like only a handful from two companies that I liked and keep but there is a third company that has better strength and they have tobaccos my hub likes so I won't give that one up. Capella's is great on many but not necessarily strong on all the flavors. I like to use as little flavoring as possible.At least I was able to resort to treats. I really like tobacco house extacted flavored juice and miss that. I don't however like most tobacco essences. I think someone who only wants tobacco with perhaps vanilla caramel or whatever as small backnotes will have to try to have patience of a saint or less sensitive tastebuds /sniffer than me.
STR8 if you tried it higher PG, on any of your recipes it would taste differently and you would tweak your own recipe. I am sure the 50/50's or more are great but I like a thinner juice i can get in a carto before an hour passes....lol Ia also like that I can get a gallon at the tractor store for twenty dollars. I need as affordable as possible with two vapers.

I still don't think Capella's is a one size fits all or you will like every single one they carry. But they do have some great flavors. I do intend to try more but I got rid of the ones I did not like right away because thats what I do and I always know within two days if a flavor will be something I will use or not.
So far, the easiest one to work with for me is Mellow Tobacco by Flavour Art. My husband also likes Dark Vapure (works good with the chocolates by Capella's) and their Cowboy. Be aware they smell very hay and grassy and some are horrible floral smell out of the bottle ,but that will disssipiate with time. The ones I mentioned you only need 1-5 percent max to get a kick to your juice and they have the least offensive smell of the ten tobaccos I tried there.
