I don't, but from what I can tell "Joy" is really, really strong. I used a tiny bit in a couple of my recipies, and the taste is kinda... nutmeg-ish almost, or like cloves. Can't say I'm really a huge fan so far, maybe others will have ideas for you. I just don't like that particular flavor combination for a lot of reasons including eating too many nutmeg cookies on a H.S. trip (having no belief in their psychoactive tendencies) and I promise you, that would be the last drug I would ever take again, including hemlock, probably.

So, there's that.

This is a last ditch effort before I toss it. I’ll definitely be interested to see if anyone has made a juice that they actually like with this flavor!!! Good reviews on this seem pretty sparse!

Hi Chels...There are a few in the "Recipes Forum" and some of them sound pretty good...Mostly Bakery Stuff...
Search Results | E-Cigarette Forum

Edit: Drat...Won't let me link to the "Results"...Search the "e-liquid Recipes" Forum and you'll find about a dozen recipes with FA Joy...Trig

Here is one I have on my "To Try" list; though I haven't gotten to mix it up yet:
Biscuits and Jam by: Boogenshizzle
This is a classic by Wayne Walker; and i have enjoyed it in the past:
Bronuts: A Sugary, Sweet, Chocolate Glazed Doughnut Recipe
These 4 caught my eye just now, searching ELR, and have been added to my "Want to try" list:

I use use it with a few bakeries always under 1%, it is useful for giving a bit of fried taste to donuts, some people get stale beer from it, If you do, I would think you have it to high. I only use it as a additive, think almost AP strong at a very low level it can tweak a recipe, too much and it will ruin it.

Is it true that it needs to be used at 1% or less. Or is it recipe-specific?
I have always used it at less than 1%, but as I was searching last night I noticed a fair amount of discussion of 2% being the "top end." However; HIC (HeadInClouds) says this in his flavor review:
upload_2017-11-18_17-28-27.png

I find it interesting that he suggests that this may be a hit-or-miss flavor for different folks.

I have always thought of FA Joy as an accent/enhancer instead of an outright flavor. But, after re-reading Hic's notes (I have never even thought of trying Joy as a stand-alone; and still not sure I am brave enough), I have to say I am curious to try the ELR Geography recipe... just to see what a higher percentage might contribute (uses at 2%):

I do find it interesting that, in reading all the comments, that various people find this being anything from a shake-and-vape, to requiring as much as a 6-week steep. Perhaps, this diversity, has some relationship to the love/hate responce HIC mentions.

The other thing that intrigues me about the recipe; is the trading of traditional roles, of the INW biscuit and the FA Joy. I would normally expect a more classic recipe of 2% biscuit to 0.75% Joy.

Yes, it’s very interesting how people either love it or hate it. I also have INW biscuit in my stash, never used!

Here's his notes, Explains the use of Liquid Amber ( maybe you can use without ) :

Some low-effort notes

VBIC/Bav Cream Play together to make a thick sweet creamy base

Grapes/Liquid Amber Grape is the obvious top note in the recipe with purple and green grape nuances, and the Liquid Amber gives it a lightly fermented accent. Together they provide the true dankness of the mix.

Graham Cracker/Joy Provides a doughy and slight cinnamon tasting cone effect, but more like a soggy cone that you left your ice cream in for too long but in a good way.

Koolada As always, this is a preference thing, but to me, 0.75% adds a nice chilled effect without being too much. Adjust to your liking.

I love Koolada! It’s not failed me once! It’s the perfect cooling effect! Although I was a menthol smoker and enjoy vaping minty flavors/menthol.

Always happy to help!!

You haven't used INW Biscuit yet?! Shame on you!!:D:lol::lol::lol::D

I love the stuff! I have had to ration myself so I don't burn out on it. If you like a good shortbread cookie (think "Lorna Doone"); its "da bomb."

I went into a holding pattern for mixing new recipes for quite a while. I just made my 2 favorite juices. But now I’ve got the itch to try new recipes! [emoji4] May as well at least try recipes with all my flavors!

I don't have koolada but i've used Polar Blast with mixed results. I like it in some recipes and not in others, and i haven't figured out any pattern ! In a couple of recipes that i thought would call for it, it didn't work for me, and in one i used by mistake, and it really enhanced the recipe !
