VTA Persian lime is getting rave reviews and has next to no fade reportedly. Hopefully BCF has some in stock.
The one I shared PM is the only I had but I imagine it would work with other fruits also with a bit of tweaking. Kahlula cheesecake sorta sounds good to me, maybe drunken cherry cheesecakeWonder if I can make a boosy cheesecake...LOL. Any ideas?
Thanks, but no need for apology! I’ve tried a few lime combos but not perfected yet. FA lime tahity cold pressed, TFA key lime & INW lime isn’t bad but either percentages I’m using isn’t right yet or I need a different combo because it’s not quite right yet. Do you mind sharing yours?Haven't done either yet, Natasha, sorry. I do have lime and a Margarita flavor. Still working out the salt (which may or may not work). I don't have gin or tonic yet, either, so I haven't even thought about that recipe yet. I do have a lime that's pretty decent.
Who’s tequila?Ok, off topic maybe? I’m a menthol vaper and I ran out of vodka to make my menthol drops, so I used tequila. I can say that the tequila does come through and it’s really good.![]()
Do you have a recommended started percentage for the margarita?
Makes sense. I’ll see what I can do once I get it in. Thanks!I used 5% and it was good to me. But...I didn't use any booze flavoring with it. So, that might change the % I'd use, to get the right taste then.
Thanks, I’ll have to try that one!I have Capella lime. I haven't used it much, but I'm going to start with a small percentage and go from there. I'm kind of new to actually ENJOYING the citruses. LOL. I figure, start small and work my way up. Etc.

ThanksI honestly don't have much experience with citrus. I am in no way stating Capella's is the best one. You'd probably do better with a recommendation from someone who uses citruses more than I do/have yet. I'm not saying it's terrible, I'm also in no way saying it is "the best" or even "good" as I don't have a ton to compare it to. Really.

Oh!The cheap kind that leaves you with a hangover![]()
All this boozy flavors talk, I just assumed you were speaking of a flavor concentrate. Though you did say “off topic”.
Apologies!This is rather interesting! Could it be we make this harder than necessary? Hmm...I’m going to give my opinion...... when I made my tobacco extraction using 190 proof, after letting the alcohol evaporate, you still got a hint of alcohol. I don’t see why you couldn’t take a whiskey and add vg/pg and do the same to make your own flavor.
I agree, I wouldn’t do a sweet one for the fact of gunking up the coils.I've added a smidge of vodka from time to time to a recipe. I didn't notice it gunking up coils, but I will say my experiments with the alcoHols ended when I tried a (cheap) cooking burgundy (I knew it was a bad idea but I still tried it). It caramelized on the coil almost instantly. The taste wasn't actually awful, but it made my entire house smell like cheap curry. That was also a tank teardown I didn't enjoy.
I think for some of the alcohols you could probably use them in small quantities for flavor, but I'd personally stay away from stuff like rum, brandy, etc. I kind of feel like using flavoring for some of them (especially the sweeter darker ones) may be best, etc.
