Ok hoping ECX get their NF stuff up soon so i can grab that 555 hangsens and make an order all at once. Think I need to go back to Capellas for my chocolate as well. Not to impressed with the FA chocolate even with some cocoa added. Caps is just so spot on. Hoping he got some NF anise in as well.

Never used the malted milk but I hear Holy Vanilla is excellent as well but that one is from diyflavorshack or something.

Will, Pickup some Capella flavors and add a larger percentage of the malted milk than the chocolate, vanilla, and or strawberry. Add a tad of Koolada for that cooling effect. It's going to take a few tries to nail a milkshake flavor. I would love to see a recipe when you do. :)

Will do :) Ive decided I only wanna try and make a strawberry and vanilla.So I think I will get the CAP Sweet Strawberry.Any other opinions on best Vanilla to go with.Im thing either the TFA French Vanilla or Vanilla Bean.Does the Koolada make it just have cool effect or does it add a menthol taste to it.I hate menthol.

If Koolada is mixed too strong, the TH is scratchy like an irritant. I used one drop per 10ml. It does not have a menthol taste. I like the TFA french vanilla. I used a low percentage to add it to tobaccos.

Have you used the malted milk? Wondering what percentage to start at? And what percentage to start at with the sweet strawberry?Im thinking I would start at 8 to 10 percent with the malted milk and then add about 3 to 5 percent on the sweet strawberry.
I had made a chocolate malt awhile back. That sounds about right, if my memory is correct.

Well I have some high hopes for NF stuff. Does the NF have a thicker flavor to it than others? Not sure if i can explain what I mean but most juice is very light and lacks a full bodied taste. I up my flavors to get that bold flavor. Some of my mixes are usually between 15-30%.

I love the stuff. It adds a sweetness that I haven't been able to get from EM, sucralose, etc. I've used the malt extract and the vanilla cream with some tobaccos and there awesome. The best juices i've made so far have had some NF in the recipe and I like these better than any vendor juice i've tried. I can't clone vendors juices for $%it but I've been making some stuff that I like more. All les than 10% total flavoring, most under 5%.

Do you notice any difference between the extracts and the flavorings for coffee and tea and if so which do you use or prefer? The reason I ask was several of the flavors I bought 5% was way too little flavor was muted---no flavor at all til bumped up to 10% or more. Do you steep the alcohol off before?

The coffees are very good to me especially the Kona Cream. Did not care much for the chocolates--not enough to buy again. The flavors are very pronounced in alcohol as mentioned previously in here--will require more steeping and patience if you are sensitive to alcohol at all. I am looking forward to trying some more flavors and hope they bought some of tea flavors. :)

The malt extract is the one I was wanting to try for a while before I finally placed the order. It's very strong. I did evap the flavors before I used them. I wish I would have tried them before I did so that I could compare but didn't think about it. Anytime you do a reduction it's going to be more concentrated and more potent. I put the bottles into a small pot filled with enough water to cover about 90% of the bottle and slow simmer until I get about a 25% reduction. It takes a long time for me when I do it this way. I'm njot sure how this compares to other methods but I really like the results so I stick with it.
