Strawberry's in my top 10

I like the Egg Nog - very good seasonal vape
I love the White Chocolate
Dutch Apple Pie is very good and getting better
Dragon Fruit is strangely delicious
Cinnamon Churro's ok but disappointing compared to their stellar Cinnamon Roll
Dulce De Leche is weird. I never tried the food. The vape is good sometimes and sometimes not so much.

I had some legitimate dulce de leche last night and I was unsure about the flavoring before that point. It is actually spot on. I guess I should have posted about it lol

A comment about dutch apple pie caught my attention...how long do you steep? I find almost all my flavors are ready to go except cream flavors (like orange dream, etc.) Do need a couple hours before they are their best (in my humble opinion)

Mowgli- surprised you don't care for the Dulce. It's in my daily rotation and love the taste. Can you give me a good description of the dragon fruit? I've never had any of the fruit and don't have a clue what the taste would be like.

I wish I could give you a good description. My taste buds are sort of binary. Good or bad.
Dragonfruit's unusual. It's different than the berries, apple, peach or any "usual" American fruits.
It's closer to Jackfruit or Starfruit. A shop owner said she sells a lot of it so I'm trying it.
It's tasty.

The DDL might need more steeping, it tasted weak when I started it. It's not unpleasant.
I'll give it more time to mature.

I let all my mixes steep for 7-10 days before I even taste them. Same with the Dutch Apple Pie but after two weeks it tastes the same as it did after one week. Just mixed my second batch.

I gave up on plastic a loooooong time ago. What I found is that plastic tanks, even left without juice will crack after time. Get a protank 2 and you'll love life

I have two of the original Pro Tanks and they have the draw of a 6 inch water pipe. All I get is air. When I use them I put a piece of tape that covers the beauty ring and bottom of the tank and just leave one air hole open. Is the Pro Tank II as "airy" as the original?

I have about 20 juices in my rotation. To buy a Pro Tank for each one would break my bank.

PT2 bases have smaller airholes - Pro Tank I & II Replacement Bases @ Gotvapes

Can you give me a good description of the dragon fruit? I've never had any of the fruit and don't have a clue what the taste would be like.

I'll throw in my impression here,

I have never had "Dragonfruit" as a food, but I mixed up a batch, and it had a great taste and was really refreshing.
Surprise Surprise, as I didn't know what to expect.

I got Pear, and Peach from it.
I mixed it with a little Sweet Cream when I made it, but sweet cream doesn't add any real type of flavoring to me.
It use it just to smooth a flavor out.
I also added a drop of EM to the 3ml batch for blending purposes
The pear came through up front, with a peach background, and I loved it.
I put the recipe in my "keeper" file

Thanks for that Slots. Peach and pear, hmmm, can't go wrong with that. I'll give a try on my next flavor order.

Just got Pumpkin Spice, Razzelberry, Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew in this weekend. Made up small test batches.10ml, 12% of each in a 70-30 mix @ 15mg. Testing the razzleberry today in a Steam Turbine with and SS wick @ 1.5. Not to bad. Plan to give it a whole week before i decide if the percetages need changed. Same with the three others ( tested those in a dripper)

Dr pepper was dissapointing... mt dew was good at 13% in a 50/50 mix..so probably 10.5 - 11.5% in 70/30?

I mix razzleberry at 15% but again, higher vg means more flavoring.


Update:
Caramel candy at 15% but needs a sweetener...thinking I'm going to put 5-10% french vanilla to sweeten and support flavor :)

More to come! I'll do a percentage chart because I jave over 55 flavor west flavors...need to just make it haha

all my DIY mixes are 12mg nic in a 50/50 pg/vg solution.

Thanks for that Random. I so far agree with Dr. Pepper being a bit of a let down. Tastes more like Mr. Pibb. Not unvapable, but lacking the pizzaz of the real deal. Ive had worse juices ( orange mint from a mall vendor. Light orange for about a split second then a blast of menthol so harsh i thought i was vaping Scope)
I also got rootbeer float so im gonna give that a mix when i get off work.

Is it against forum rules to share a link to a gogle doc I want to make to share my mixing results?

Im not entirely sure if it is or not. In any case i would gladly accept that link in a PM. Even if our base ratios are different it would be nice to see what someone else using Flavorwest products has learned.

I believe that I've seen a google doc link in another flavoring tread so load'em on up. If it's in violation they will just make you twerk or something.

I don't "think" so, it's not commercial in nature. One way to find out :)

I would be interested in your opinions.
