I'm going to have to break down and get the juicy fruit. It is a much loved gum in my family. I've got some of the apple but little stand alone test I did with it was dire. And adding some red bull (they taste similar to me so I figured why not) did not help. Go figure. Caramel is also something I've not gotten around to getting either. It is tip top of my list though.

I can confirm my first quad fruit blend, while tasty and very very nice smelling, WILL kill a plastic tank or clearo. It turned my T3 into a cloudy milky color and it dissolved the glue holding the mouthpiece onto the vision victory tank and also clouded a portion of the tank. I think in version 2, I'm gonna remove one of the fruit flavors (probably the Ripe Banana) and may lower the percentages of the other flavors. The tri fruit is still working good and is easy on plastic, but I am gonna tweek it a bit.

I find mixing with chocolate very difficult.... have about 16 flavours here and chocolate is the one I struggle the most with.

I must solve the chocolate enigma. As that is my favorite vape. If I can do it with ECBLEND's create your own wizard, I should be able to do the same myself.

Ripe banana is a known plastic eater. One of the reasons I have not mixed up the sample I got yet. Same for citrus (including most colas), wintergreen and a few other things that my brain can't seem to pull up right now.

I was just going to mix some Hangsen Wintergreen at 3% with some koolada but now I may skip it.

I have a vivi with a metal body that I keep loaded with wintergreen (TFA) all the time. I do love it but I've always been afraid to try it in plastics. Especially since I use about 20%. I've got some already degraded clearlos that I may break into bits and test to see how they hold up to some stuff in lower percentages and if a couple of things ever really do get degraded further.

Ok, I have tried the new Nutty Banana after about 5 days of steeping. Much better than version 1. I could vape this all day, easily. Not sure, but might try to bring out the banana flavor a little more. I'm gonna let it sit a bit longer. But so far, so good. :thumbs:

Arnie- what I found out through trial and error is to start low on the percentage of chocolate and let it steep for a few days. You should have seen the look on my face when I first mixed up TFA's Bittersweet at 15%, I cried a little it was so bad

I think you are on the right path, I also really respect the opinions of the other posters on this thread, I have been following them for some time now and am always learning great things
