You have no idea how many times I read through this thread before I caught on. I would love to say I picked up on it right off the bat... but I'd be lie'n! :laugh:

In spite of all my other obnoxious, and unsociable habits. :D:lol::lol::lol::D

I took the liberty of fixing two small typos, that may have been confusing to some new DIYers; I hope that's okay.:blush:

Great explanation, @Sugar_and_Spice!


Oh, HEL...., um, I mean: HECK NO!!! I can't run my own life with any sort of efficiency. And now, you want me running the country?! We all wanna pass on that ever happening. :shock::facepalm::D

Total respect for you trying to do without... just don't return to the stinkies because of it. Nicotine is cheap(er)(compared to smoking). And, if it keeps you from returning to cigarettes, well worth it in my opinion.

I wish you all the best. And don't hesitate to use us whenever a question comes up. We don't have all the answers, but we do pretty well. Collectively; we are one sharp cookie! ;):D
Thanks Joel I had just read my post and made the corrections when I read your post. Yes, you are correct, victim of typing too fast and not proofreading, my bad:facepalm:

I really do know better......well sometimes.....lol

When I started I did one flavor that was strongly flavored (not nearly as much as the OPs) and was really great for a half day. Then it became overwhelming and most of the flavors I used in it are still sickening to even think about.
imo it still tastes good, I'm used to vaping N.E.T's and I have them very strong, enough to make me cough, ha :p, I never thought I'd get this much help from everybody though I really do appreciate it....

Everyone else covered what I was going to say except:
I don't know that particular chocolate but I've been messing with chocolate for the last week (especially a TFA) and too much (5%) was bitter. Could be why you're wanting sweeter.

To give you an idea of working up a recipe, I bounced that chocolate down 1% orange up 1%, chocolate down 1% orange up 1% again, chocolate up 1% orange down 3% and added a stronger orange 2%. Next time I will drop the added orange 1% and add a different chocolate 1%.

Generally it's small steps of .5%-1%.
When I get a new flavor I mix up a small amount at 1%-5% depending on the brand and flavor type and their tendency to make strong or weak flavors (TFA is hard to predict). That way I get an idea of what percentage I want to use it at.
The only thing I use TFA in is a chocolate milkshake. Anything else and it seems dry and powdery. Glamour chocolate is my go to for most recipes. It really depends on what profile your after but thats my favorite.
