I can barely eat yogurt if it has enough fruit in it.
Not gonna try vapin it.

Heh...I love me some yogurt!

It's pretty good,has a bit of that yogurt twang to it.I used it stand alone as an adv for a while.Tfa greek yogurt is good too.

I was thinking of tfa greek yogurt too. But I think I am looking for a bit of twang as long as it is good twang!

In my opinion,if you like yogurt,i would get them both in the small size to try,their both good.I haven't tried the Fw mixed with anything,and i haven't tried the Tfa as a standalone,so i can't really compare them as single flavors,but i definitely like them both.

I want to mix some flavors but I need to replace the Perfumers Apprentice Bavarian Cream with Flavor West Bavarian Cream. I'm stuck on this, because I have no clue about how many drops of FW Bavarian Cream to put on this mix.

This is the mix:
MIX1:
10 ml PG/VG
5 drops DK-TAB (PA)
3 drops Bavarian Creme (PA)

MIX2:
10 ml PG/VG
4 drops DK-TAB (PA)
2 drops Bavarian Creme (PA)
1 drop Caramel (Original) (PA)

Please, anybody help me.

Can you guys help me? I just mixed my first set of Natural Green Apple, and it turned to be bad as hell!
What I made was:
-30PG/70VG
-10 ml (~10%) Natural Green Apple
-5 ml 100ml/mg PG nicotine
Total amount was 100 ml. I let it to flavor for one week.

So the taste sucked totally. So I decided to order another flavor bottle of this Apple. I added 2 ml of same nicotine base and 5 ml Apple. It still sucks big time! So what I should do with it to get it even vapeable? Or is it just juice?

I use all their flavors at 20% in 70VG. Try that.

FW's owner confirmed what I had already suspected.
He said all their flavors are designed to work at the same percentages.
I use 12.5% for 70PG, 16% for 50/50, 18% for 60VG and 20% for 70VG

Some people like to use lower percentages when they make recipes but I'm a single flavor guy.
My only recipe is a 75/25 Toffee Dream Cream / Peanut Butter and use that at the same concentrations as single flavors.

Thanks for reply. Do you have any ideas how to get it vapeable ? :D
That's why I always make a small solo test of around 3ml's of any flavor when I receive it.
Then I can add more flavoring, or dilute it or sweeten it .. you have room to play with it, if your not happy with it.
You can judge how strong it is, if it's sweet on it's own, and how you think it will add to a recipe.
I don't bother with the creams, as they pretty much work with any flavor, and don't have much of a flavor of their own.
Testing flavors solo is the only way you can see if you like it... but you don't need 100ml :w00t:
You will find a lot of flavors are good solo, and you don't need to mix anything with them if you don't want to.
Also, I always mix with the nic included, as it effects the flavor.
And .. a dozen company's make an Apple flavoring, and they all taste different, and use different %'s.. that's one of the pit falls of DIY.
You have to "kiss a lot of frogs" to find the prince :blush:
BTY, FW is known for weak flavors, and they themselves recommend you start at 15%
Dumping it, is such a waste of pg, vp, and nic.... start small.
Have fun in the "lab" :p

I'm trying to figure out FW Vanilla Custard. It is truly the 9 ball of all custards. Side by side with CAP V1 and TFA, all 10%, the CAP and TFA are nearly indistinguishable (though I lean towards the CAP because it's "fuller", and the TFA has a slight watery chemical note and definite chemical aroma I could do without), but the FW is totally different. I get very little vanilla and no "butter" note from it at all, but rather an unusual, somewhat floral taste I can't pin down. All I can say is that vaping it somehow reminds me of "aromatherapy". I actually like it, it's been in my rotation single flavor since I acquired it, but I'm wondering how others use it in mixes, and how they perceive its flavor profile.

Yes, fw vanilla custard has some spice note in it...sometimes I like, sometimes I don't...is it anise or????? (Not cinnamon)There's something there that sets it apart from the other custards for sure...haven't used it much lately though...I DID order more of my beloved cake batter dip, sugar or not it's sort of irreplaceable so far for me...watching to see if any other news on this arises

I sent a friend some FW Van Custard.
He's a self stated VC connoisseur.
He says he tries every one that becomes available but hasn't found a VC ADV yet.
He says it doesn't taste custard or very vanilla and definitely not vanilla custard.
But he liked it and vaped it all up anyway :thumb:

Am I the only one who kind of likes the Caramel Apple?
Nope, I like it enough that I bought a 4oz bottle, and threw it in the freezer.

Yes, fw vanilla custard has some spice note in it...
