How many husbands do you have? :)

You are making a lot more juice than I am. A liter of 100 mg. nic. lasts me a long time.

Yeah I supply juice to a lot of people. :). Plus me and my husband (singular) both vape a lot.

Blueberry Cheesake

10% FW Blueberry
5% cheesecake
5% Bavarian cream or Vanilla Custard
1% sweetener


Blueberry Candy Cane:

8% Capella Peppermint
10% Flavor West Blueberry

I have more if those aren't your taste. What percent have you been trying?
Thank you, I have something similar to the first one. I don't have any Capella flavors. I really think I'll order some more blueberry. I think I got a dud. I
I think a good blueberry and and a little extreme ice would be good.

Do you let it steep for a while? I haven't made that flavor in a while so I'm not sure if I steeped mine or not.
I have a mix going at 17 1/2 (blueberry) right now. Yes I do steep and I have a pretty good ultrasonic cleaner on order. It should be here by the 10th.

Awesome.

Hopefully you can get a recipe that the blueberry comes out.
If you aren't using any other ingredients you need to up that to around 15%. At least that's what I've found. It's pretty tasty at that percent.

I usually make my base 50/50.
Well I do my base at 60/40 and at lower nic levels I usually end up with about 70/30 final and 12 1/2 works well on most other flavors. I know as VG goes up it takes more flavor. Upping the flavor is all I have left that I CAN try. Like I said I think I got a dud. I have a FW peach that is extra strong, had to cut way back on it. I appreciate your help.

Oh, your first recipe, I do something similar except yellow cake instead of the cheesecake and I put in a little graham cracker.

Yeah just keep trying. There's a few recipes I had to tweak several times to reach an ideal taste.

Blueberry might go good with FW Vanilla bean ice cream or Marshmallow too. :thumbs:

I had a friend wanting some Pineapple Peach. FW has a Pineapple Peach but I didn't have any. I did have the two flavors separately though. Unlike my blueberry the peach seems quite strong. So I mixed the two concentrates at 2 parts pineapple to one part peach. Then I used the same percentage as I would when mixing a single flavor. I have three friends who really like it. Now I don't know if I should ever buy any Pineapple Peach from FW because I don't know if theirs would be anywhere near that mixture. Sometimes I don't know about me.:)

If you're happy with the results then why waste your money. Don't fix what isn't broken. o_O

I don't know why people still use ratios to express their VG content.
Standard was PG/VG in that order but people say it however they like now.
I suggest saying 70VG if that's what you mean or 60PG or whatever.

If you mean you use 70/30 PG/VG then try 12.5% flavoring

If you mean you use 70VG then try 20% flavoring.

FW's owner told me that all their flavors are designed to work at the same concentration (%)

I like it as strong as possible.
Here's what's worked best for me for the last 2+ years of mixing FW & MBV almost exclusively.

12.5% in 70PG
16% in 50/50
18% in 60VG
20% in 65VG and for some reason 20% works perfectly in 70VG also

Mowgli, I got my 12 1/2 % from you my friend. And you are correct, I will start expressing mine as 70 PG

PS: It's good to see you back in here.

My neighbor kept nagging me to get some banana nut bread. I finally did. A freshly mixed bottle at 12 1/2 % is as black as the blackest cup of coffee. Is that normal?

It's dark. I tried it. Crudded my coil in a couple of ml. nah.

FW Banana is damn tasty especially in low nic high VG and straight lung inhale.
Even better is MBV Banana Cream Pie.

I have the banana. Haven't tried the banana cream pie. Making a note.

I'll be tossing the whole bottle of BNB.

I personally like the FW BNB. It's a winter vape for me but I get going on it for a while some times. It gunks the coils a bit but I have seen worse. I think it has a great taste. I think I tried three different ones and settled on FW for this flavor.
