Kind of like "Writer's Block", where an author sits and stares at a blank sheet of paper. I just sat down at my mixing desk, got out my PG, VG, Nic, syringes, and empty bottles, then just gazed at all 46 or so flavor bottles like a deer in the headlights..... I have no idea what I want to make! I'm running low on juice, but nothing is jumping out at me. Nothing is staring me down saying, "You KNOW I'm going to be delicious!!!". Ya, I could go back to any of the dozen or so "favorite" juices I've made, but I want something different. I want to try out some of the flavors that I haven't even opened yet. But I want more than just a single flavor blend. I want to mix up a bottle that has a halo around the cap and little pixies jumping out every time I open it. The only good thing about all of this is that I'm now forced to go back and try some of my "failures" that have now had a chance to steep for a couple of weeks. The cinnamon danish swirl that sucked on day one has matured very well!! I think I may go mix some more and see if that gets me back in the groove. The tiramisu that sucked on day one, well....... it still sucks..... So here I sit, perusing this forum (and many others) looking for a recipe to inspire me and get my mojo (and juice supply) back to a comfortable level *sigh*.......

Wow, Mixer's block maybe, writer's block, NO.
Dozen or so "favorites?" Give me!!
This happens to me all the time (im lazy). So, what I do is find the juice that is full because I haven't used it EVER, and try to search a yummy recipe for it. For example, I have a bottle of Fig that just sounds terrrrrible by itself, so I never got around to using it. One day I did a search on it, someone here on EFC said it helps bring the mango flavor out of mango. Tried it, worked. Not that I want to vape mangos all day, but now I know incase a future recipe needs a solid mango flavor.
Have fun

Come on, man!!! What about Fig Newton's?!?! Everyone knows that a cookie is just a cookie, but a Fig Newton is fruit and cake! A little fig, a little graham cracker, maybe some brown sugar???? Add in a bit of raspberry for a back note. You got this...

Also get some TFA gummy candy and mix with TFA Tutti Frutti for a really good Gummy Bear .Do 5% of each and add 3-5 drops EM depending on how sweet you want it .Up it to 7.5 % of each if you use high VG.
Great suggestions people!!! Some of those I've done, some I never thought about. Back to the mixing station I go!! I need at least a week's worth of juice!!!
Hey Vash.... Your first suggestion sounds intriguing, but 6% Graham??? That's one flavor I haven't used yet, but from what I've read it's strong. I'm not gonna lie.... I'm a little scared.... 6% seem like a lot, and your mix has it as the predominant flavor...

Well I like a lot of flavor plus Cap Brownie tends to be strong even when low and take over mix.
Maybe cut my % of each in half and then add more if you need.
