What size bottles do you normally get? I only have 10mLs now to experiment. Capella Lemon Sicily has become one of my favorites.
FA lemon sicily is beautiful but fades very fast, pickup some FE lemon and JF juicy lemon, they last much longer. These two are available from ecigexpress and well worth the shipping, I'm liking the FE sweet rice too.

@Letitia I know this might be very similar to my first mix but your idea pulled me in. I know you have more experience mixing with citrusy mixes. If you don’t mind, how does this look? I love pink guava but know if not careful you can get some unpleasant off notes. I’m thinking a blood orange forward one would also be good...

Pink Pixie Pop

.25 Blood Orange (Natural) (FW)
2% Pink Champagne (FW)
1.3% Pink Guava (Flavorah)
3.5% Pixie Stick Candy (Wonder Flavours SC)
If you want bo forward .25 won't give you that imo. I would mix
FW bo 2.5%
FLV pg .75%
WF pixie 3%
VTA fizzy sherbet 1.5%.
For me the pixie and champagne would probably be too dry a mix. Not sure if I would even use the fizzy sherbet as it is slightly dry.
YMMV of course. Try both.:D

So is @Letitia holding out on us though she probably has great pixie mix recipes?:laugh: The one she mentioned sounds tasty:p I might have to mix it also.
Pixie is easy, 3-4 percent depending on how much bite your added fruits have. If you want a mellower candy pixie 2%+sw&tart 2% is very good, especially with softer fruits. Jelly candy 2% with 2% of either pixie or s&t makes a nice strawberry watermelon candy.

I am so glad I happened on this thread, I LOVE grapefruit juice and am not allowed to drink it (interacts with one of my meds). IDK WHY I didn't even consider grapefruit flavoring, probably due to my early (depressing) experiments with orange. LOL. But I also love champagne and have found ways to use citrus with it.

Oh my, I can't possibly justify shipping on one flavor at this point, LOL, but I am going to try a champagne mix at my earliest opportunity!

And LOL, everyone likes flavor differently, there are several folks who flavor more than I do. I think that's perfectly normal/fine. It may or may not change as you go but either way, doesn't really matter much!

Letitia you are truly the queen of all flavors. I've never even heard of VTA Fizzy Sherbet. :hubba:

These tips are helpful. I mixed Ruby Pixie Pop & Pink Pixie Pop this morning. So now I’ll now how to fix them or try again if they’re not tasty:laugh:

Not by a long shot. I keep my stash limited to a max of 200 flavors. The VTA fizzy sherbet for me is a good tasting but dry lemon/lime. Not fizzy to me, more a flat soda feel. Good mixer but not a stand alone. I mixed it with some Purilum grape soda Friday. The grape is fizzy but think I will add the RF(SC) soda base in the v2 recipe. The VTA brings a very nice note flavor wise but the combination with the sherbet is a bit dry. Going to work up a sherbet with the VTA fs and just use FE lemon in the grape soda v2, may boost the grape some too. I'll give it a couple more weeks before I adjust the recipe.

If you are on ELR my flavor stash is public. Take a scroll through it and if anything catches your eye give me a call. VTA has a sorbet base I'm wanting to try as well.

After I read your post earlier, I wished I’d used my RF soda base. Oh well, I only mixed 9mls of each. Hopefully they won’t be too unpleasant!
I haven't tried it yet; ordered it for a requested mix honestly. Meg wants a shirley temple mix and I don't have a clue where to start. I have the grenadine, soda base, lemon, lime; thought the blood orange champagne might work. Any ideas?

A Shirley Temple needs a touch of TFA Maraschino Cherry :)

I’d keep it simple but sounds like you have a good start adding @christylh8 ’s suggestion.

What's your public stash number? I went to your profile but couldn't find your flavors.
{Nevermind that, I found you and followed you. I see it now. :) Really impressive stash! }
