Is there really such thing as as a no steep recipe?

Currently all I have is TFA French Vanilla, is it about the same as FW?

Sorry, found one I liked and stopped there. I do have TFA French Vanilla Cream but that is different, much creamier as the name would imply.

What % for the stand alone?
Thanks

12% has always been a pretty good general area for FW.

My ADV the past 9 months or so is a tobacco lemon/lime inspired by a MBV juice that is no longer made.

Don't have exact percentages as I just finally bought a scale this week, but I guess it shows that you can't really mess this one up !!!

From eyeballing it my mixes tended to be at 15-20% of the total volume. Tidewater tobacco is the main flavor at 8-10%, then Lemon Sicily and Lime at 3-5% each. Have used regular lime and cold pressed and both work fine.

Played with my new toys last night (scale and a bunch of new flavors) and made this :

6% FW Blood Orange
3% Sicilian Mix (a citrus blend)
.5% Cactus

Tasty straight away, and need to make more tonite to have some to sit and test in a week or so.

I've found most fruits are pretty vapable as soon as you get done mixing them up, and unless you put too much flavoring in its hard to really screwed it up. It may not be a masterpiece but won't usually require you to dump it out if it's flavors you like.

I've gotten lazy and use a blend made by Azure Vaping called Hypermint that I just mix at 8%. Unfortunately, as a Pennsylvania company faced with ridiculous taxation, they closed up their business a couple months ago. I stocked up so I can remain lazy for a few more years lol. Inawera Mix Mint is pretty good at about 3% as it's highly concentrated.
LOL. I too stocked up on some flavors from Azure when they were going out of business. I have(had) been buying from them since they were Blue Mist many moons ago before becoming Azure. I got some Hypermint and thought it strong @5% so I cut it down even more. I am not normally a menthol type of person but found this one I liked.
Also got some Almond Macaroon flavoring, Orange and pineapple flavoring(so good) and a few others too. I was so sad to see them go. They were true masters of the mixes.

Here is a new Shake and Vape to add to my last one for anyone looking for worthy recipes. There are some flavors here I would imagine most people are missing, but it is worth grabbing on your next order.

Capella - Sweet Mango 8.2%
Flavor Art - Jamaica Rum 4.1%
Jungle Flavors - Dulce De Leche 2%
Essential Depot - VG70/PG30 (Palm)
NicSelect Nicotine 100Mg - 4% (this Nic has made an extreme difference in quality for all my batches)

I bring a pot of water up in heat before boil and turn it off, place the bottle of e-liquid in up to it's neck with lid off, leave it in for 5 minutes. This is plenty long enough to thin the VG for a rigorous/thorough shake and avoid degrading the Nic. Allow to cool, then shake again thoroughly and try it out. I can't say what alternative brands or flavors will do, as I'm still building experience. I'd like to know what you think. Please leave a comment if you find it useful.
Thumbs up appreciated.

I have 3 (all flavors from NudeNic):

1. Ooples and banoonoos 4%
Sucralose 1%
2. Cactus cooler 4%
Sucralose 1%
3. Patchouli Vanilla 4.5%

All these are 80vg/20pg at 4 mg nic.

How much patchouli taste/smell is in the patchouli vanilla? Or is it more vanilla-y?

What does patchouli taste like? I always thought of that as a fragrance not something to be eaten or vaped?

:)

It's hard to say, but it's not what you'd expect. You get a hint of, something, on the exhale that's not vanilla. Sorry I can't really describe it, but it's a really interesting flavor to say the least.

Actually, let me describe it this way: it adds something that makes the vanilla not too sweet, and gives it an earthy, floral finish.
I got some of that when I ordered nic and some flavors from NN. The only recipe I tried it in was this and it was pretty good:

Village Elder Tobacco
5.00% Patchouli Vanilla (NN)
2.00% Honey Tobacco (NN) (NN)

I still have 2ml or so left which isn't enough to make much of anything.
