Awsome, ty. Going to try this DYI again clogged cartos and high prices are killing me. LOL

I know what you mean! DIY is so much cheaper. The concentrated do make it easier because there is no real need to mix multi flavors to get good flavor.

Why would you hate to tell me you told me so about the DDL? It's amazing lol, I'm glad you were right, I could set everything right and let you know that I don't like FA caramel in any way, shape, or form lol, it reminds me of the caramel in nasty Madvapes china tobaccos.

You must have used too much lol It is very condensed.

I did not know about doing that, I'll have to check it out thanks!!

I do not see many coops for 808s though. As you know, I used to love the 808s too before Dual Coils came along.

But, if you see a coop for Health Cabin, you can get in on one of those for great prices. I think that they carry 808s but not positive.

Well, I'm all up for giving it another shot :), what percentage do you suggest, I mix DDL between 10 and 15%. Really want FA caramel to be as good as I read it being lol.

I stay low. I use it with other flavors though. It would not be good alone. Caramel Flavoring is actually bitter kind of like baking chocolate. It does not get that sweet candy taste unless you sweeten it. I use the FA Caramel at about 5%. It is good with PA Bavarian Cream and Vanilla Custard. Yum! I know that you don't use vanilla custard so you might try just Bavarian Cream?

It is also good with PA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. That is a good substitute for Vanilla Custard. It is the same as the custard without the custard notes.

But, I think that I told you that I make a sundae flavor using Dulce de Leche, Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and 1 drop of Maraschino Cherry. That one is really good too.

ETA- Okay, I use a few drops of whipped cream but that is another that you may not want to use. Close to as good without the Whipped Cream.

Have you ever tried any of the V4L flavors? I have heard that they use Hangsen.

No, haven't tried any of theirs. I don't mind taking a chance on a bottle or two of the hangsen though... before getting into these concentrated flavors it seemed like I'd buy ten flavors and find that I like just a few of them. So, even if the hangsen are duds for me, I'll still feel like I'm ahead, the way it's been going lately. (Haven't bought a single one of the concentrated stuff that I don't like).

A sampling of my cream based flavor concentrates...

Flavor West Vanilla Custard and Bavarian Cream

ECX Signature Malted Milk and Bavarian Cream

Flavour Art Catalan Cream, Vanilla Classic, and Fresh Cream

I'm not above some custard

I think that you said that the FW Vanilla Custard has citrus notes? If it had true custard notes, it would contain diacetyl. FA Custard has a lime undertaste since the removed the diacetyl. It would not be good in my mix with the Caramel and Bavarian Cream.

Okay, I figured maybe I'd ask here. I really like Goodprophets Flavorfull tobacco juice. To me, it doesn't taste like tobacco at all, probably why I like it. To me, it tastes like strong ice tea, slightly sweet. I don't get anything smoky, nutty, or tobacco-ey. Does ECX have a tobacco flavor that would fall into this category, preferalby in the TE flavors?.
