I have. I love Cactus. I have to be careful not to use too much. I think it definitely "wettens" more than Pear but I'm still looking for that tastiest one. :)
I can't be much help there I'm afraid, found a pear combo I enjoy. Do have RF VG steeping at home, need to give it a taste. Have you tried saline yet?

Not yet, I keep forgetting to. Is it usually just a few drops needed?
I haven't tried saline myself but trust those that use it. I can't remember % used. @IDJoel has a good post about using saline somewhere. Have thought about using some in a smallish 240ml base mix.

One or two drops in a 3mL tank is usually sufficient. If I am adding it to an entire recipe; I keep it to 1.5% or less.:)

Note: I personally use saline more as a "seasoning" (like I would use table salt on food), rather than to add perceived "moistness." It can also be helpful reining in certain "harsh" notes (esp. citrus). Though, I suppose, the trace amount of sodium might(?) be enough to trigger some folks salivary glands. And, therefore, lessen the "dry-mouth" feeling? I don't know; I'll have to pay more attention the next time I use it.:)

So if I were mixing my usual vg/dw base replace maybe 1% of dw with saline?

Sounds reasonable; though I am not sure about committing 240mL of base without trying it first.:confused: I can't think of anything (in my own personal mixing) that it has made "worse." But, I don't use it in every mix either. I kind of religate it to the same class of additives as MTS Vape Wizard, and EM. It is a "final thought" ingredient. The recipe is good; but there is still just a "little something" that is missing.

I would not be surprised if it couldn't/wouldn't help more recipes than what I have tried it in. But, I am not sure I would be ready to commit a whole batch of unflavored base, to its use either.

Thanks, maybe just a couple 15ml testers.

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Much better idea... at least until you see if it is something you want to use on a regular basis.:D

I don't know; maybe it is the ultimate DIYer's panacea. But, if it is, I am a little surprised no one has discovered it yet.;) I would (personally) need some serious, significant, and voluminous, side-by-side testing... to convince myself of that.

That said; I have found it can add an interesting/different dimension to fruits, nuts, caramels, and chocolates.:)

Molinberry Shape Up Pear is perfection!

  • Shape-Up Pear

    Tested at 2%. Juicy and sweet and authentic pear flavor. This is what INW used to be before the reformulation. It will round out FA Pear in a pear dominate mix and will add juicy sweetness to apple mixes. Fresh! Smooth and sweet and fleshy, this is a great representation of a fresh pear! The overall flavor is very natural tasting, you can taste the fruit pulp and a little bit of the pear skin as well. .5% will add juiciness to a dry mix, 5-8% in a pear dominate mix.
