I don't like menthol but I do like a drop or two of menthol+PG in fruit flavours. Can make them more refreshing.
Thanks for the reminder. I did play with vinegar a while back on some so-so premixed juices. Some it did nothing for, but a couple it did improve. Will experiment while I wait for the mailman.
Meanwhile, I've been vaping very happily all day on a simple 15% raspberry.
" The reason I suggested acv to Morgan is that she was missing that 'fullness', body, whatever you want to call it...In MY experience (and I'm not looking for an argument here please...) especially with the Capella custard/buttery type flavs, a couple of drops per ml makes a world of difference! Some feel that EM does that for them, and I'll occasionally use it but for me the acv is the difference between a good flavor but it needs something...there's almost a hollowness to it, and a mmmmmm...smack your lips, now THAT is good juice."

Peaches andCream is very good Definitely fresh peach taste (read sharp citrus). I made up a mix of that with some Vanilla cream and some sucralose and it was so good I'm making a fresh batch right now. The taste varies with the equipment used for vaping. Originally I was using an 808 with polyfil carto and it was very good. Later switching to an Echo 1300 with echomizer cartomizer the taste went totally away. ::sigh:: Live and learn
I can only taste the peaches and cream above 4 volts. At 3.7 I only taste a sweetness.
Capella's sweet strawberry smells just like Frankenberry cereal when sniffed right from the bottle (Like a exact match) it also was the only one I was able to mix and vape fresh! Toasted Almond was good too but I am kinda lost on the Vanilla Custard,,, I was unable to taste it mixed from 5% + 10% + 15% almost like there's nothing there and I know many of you love this one! I smell it I taste everything else but not the Vanilla Custard so I am letting all 3 Batches sit and see what gives...

I had the same problem with the vanilla custard not great as a stand alone or for immediate gratification at less than 20% for me. The bottle I mixed up at 15 % was a little better after a week but not as a stand alone. Try adding EM or tart and sour if steeping doesn't bring out the taste.

Wow thats what iv been saying. I recall someone calling me stupid ^ for saying that its not a good standalone.
Its a great flavor but i never use it as a standalone. It is for mixing.

Oh THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!! I got it for some mix ideas but wanted to test it first and then could not tell what to do BUT it sounds like things are fine and my taste buds are not pulling a joke on me...woooo doggys man! Well then its back to my mixing pleasures then.
I've never tried it as a standalone, but strange that I can taste it at 1 drop/5ml being the guy that uses FA from 5-15% lol
Glad to help. And you are so right that Sweet Strawberry is the bee's knees right out of the bottle.
OK CK
It just goes to show as mentioned many times on this thread everyone's tastebuds are different. There is only one or two flavors by FA I can use at even 10%.
Funny stuff
Its also amazing how much the mix changes thing. I had three drops of diluted TA going in my base, and added 2 drops of perique thinking it would 'dry it' out. I got the most obnoxious spicy peppery taste. And yet I love perique at 10% and 30 nic lol. Wild!

I use most FA flavors at 10 or more percent. FA tobaccos are the fa flavors that use very low percents
I get my Capella's order today - woo hoo! I even dreamed about mixing them last night lol. These are the flavors I got:
Vanilla Custard
Apple Pie
Blueberry Cinnamon Crumble
French Toast
Cinnamon Danish Swirl
Banana Split
Vanilla Cupcake
New York Cheesecake
Graham Cracker
Chocolate Fudge Brownie
I don't even know where to start! maybe CFB or BlueberryCC hmmm?

Wow...that amazes me as to me waffle is one of the most flavorful. My flavor-less is vanilla cupcake. I finally got to the point I can taste it, but to me it's nothing special (and yes, I know it can be used in a mix).
I also agree about keeping it simple and holding off on the additives for a bit in the beginning. However...
I too use tart n sour if I want to make fruits 'pop' (though I prefer plain ole lemon juice) but that's not what she was looking for...she said so
I first tried it with vanilla custard...just plain old vanilla custard. It's one of my favorite all day vapes, but it just had that hollowness...added acv and it became thick, full....rich tasting. Same with the cheesecake...and French Vanilla...and....
Depending on what works for you (if EM does it, bravo! By all means use EM) acv can make all the difference. Just offerring an opinion...and alternative
same for me but my flavorless is waffle and van cc....I am still working on it tho....can't let a flavor beat me...lol...but then again I always have bud problems so I blame them...
Wow...this is really interesting how our individual taste buds perceive the same flavors isn't it? I get a lot of flavor from van cust at 10%, but usually go to 15% for that perfect standalone fullness. Never gone over 15% on any Capella!
10% is my max with any FA...usually 5% is plenty.
Tobaccos..much less of course.
Kinda makes you wonder about listing absolute percentages of anything. Suggested starting points yes....

Just received my order and of course had to give them all a good sniffin'. Is it just me or does the Graham Cracker smell exactly like CC's House Blend? It's gonna be hard to steep this overnight.
Has anyone come up with some good recipes with the Graham?

I totally agree on the FA. Cyrus vapes high VG so I'm not completely shocked he needs a higher percent of FA. Amount of VG and tastebuds are really going to factor into each person's ideal amount.
I vape the custard with the french vanilla, EM and a small amount of marshmallow to soften it as my Vanilla vape. I do believe it can be fine as a stand alone with the ACV as you suggested or perhaps a couple drops Tart and Sour. Nothing wrong with wanting and creating a simple easy beasy vanilla vape.
