I made a lemon blueberry muffin, I call it, with:

75% Capella's blueberry
25% Flavourart Pandoro (lemon cake)

Just an initial thing. I'm sure I could add some DIYFlavorshack poundcake or some gingerbread/cinnamon danish swirl to make it more cakey. But that pandoro is some good stuff!

I have about 5 failed attempts at pound cake. You would think this would be fairly basic...sugar, eggs, vanilla, butter. I just can't get the proportions right. Do you think DIY FS's tastes close to the real thing?

That grasshopper pie is sounding good. I'm hungry now though. I shouldn't think about this stuff when I'm hungry.

I tried the DIYFS poundcake and it's pretty good. Still working on getting the proportion just right. Mixed it 50/50 with FA Lemon Sicily, the next day it was pretty good, 2nd day the lemon seemed to overpower the poundcake. Mixed it 66/33 with FA Raspberry and that seemed a little better. But both were good enough to be gone by the 3rd day so need to make some new batches to see how they are after a week.

If you decide to order it, I highly recommend trying the Expert chocolate, smells just like hershey's syrup and tastes great mixed with any cream base and a drop or 2 of sweetener. First time I've been able to vape chocolate!

It's pretty good. I have that, doughnut, and chocolate. Not as strong as I would like, which I haven't found yet, but it is definitely not weak, either. I also have the expert chocolate, and it is a great chocolate flavor, just like nightsong said. Probably the best chocolate flavor I've found yet.

Cool, thanks! Maybe if I taste their pound cake I'll be able to come closer to my own. It's driving me batty. I'll be sure to check out the chocolate as well.

Thought I'd share some of my faves. I always have 3 30ml bottles full of premixed liquid. 20% VG, 80% PG and ATM I have been diluting my 100mg down to 15mg. So I keep 3 bottles full of my 15mg mix so I don't have to screw with it :p
I fill a 6ml bottle to almost the top and add my flavors on top, cap and shake.

Waffle mix: Premixed juice + 5 drops waffle, 3 drops sweet cream, 1 drop brown sugar and sometimes 1 drop ripe banana sometimes not. All PA flavors

Tobacco: Premixed juice + 5 drops tobacco mix (alc), 3 drops french vanilla, 2 drops menthol. The french vanilla seems to smooth it all out, the menthol isn't too strong with just 2 drops. All PA flavors

Cheesecake: Premixed juice + 5 drops cheesecake, 3 drops graham cracker, 2 drops marshmallow. Cheesecake is the Loranns, rest is PA flavors.

Hmm...I have some others I can't think of right now. Those three I always have in rotation. I just keep going back to them!

Here's the approximate recipe for my Strawberry Shortcake:

75% Unflavored base liquid
10% FlavourArt Strawberry
10% FlavourArt Vienna Cream
3% Perfumer's Apprentice Graham Cracker
2% Perfumer's Apprentice Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

If you premix your flavoring, these would be ratios:
40% FA Strawberry
40% FA Vienna Cream
12% PA Graham Cracker
8% PA Vanilla Bean IC

You can substitute different brands, but I don't know of an equivalent for Vienna Cream or Graham Cracker. Capella Vanilla Custard can probably be used in place of PA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

I made this and it's excellent. Tastes just like Strawberry Shortcake!

I'd like to thank you for posting this, especially since this is one of the flavors you offer for sale. :)

FA's Cherry is great, although it's not very strong. If you want a Maraschino for something like Cherry Cordial, PA's Maraschino is good. I've heard Seedman's Cherry is quality but haven't tried it yet myself.

For cinnamon I'm not sure what you mean by good punch, but there are a lot of cinnamon flavors out there.

Sorry if it's been posted but 24 pages is just a little too much to weed through.
Anyone come up with a good Cherry?---yes I'm still looking---probably because I won't use oil base.

And any thoughts of how to give cinnamon a good punch---no apple though.


I like PA's Black Cherry. It has an excellant cherry flavor. I do get it from OnestopDIYshop. I am ordering today, and i noticed she offers the 15ml cheaper than TPA.


Does anyone know where I can find the Swedish Fish recipe (Lox's?) I can't find it.. guess I didn't bookmark it :p
