Need some help!

[LunchusBoxious]

So first off here's a little back story. Today is my 7 month anniversary of being analog free!!! the last month has been really hard since everyone around me is still on the analogs, even though I've tried to make converts of everyone. Now over the last couple of weeks I've noticed my tastes are taking yet another change and I dont seem to be enjoying my juices as much anymore, if I can taste them at all. I figured since this forum has been able to help me through every other tough point I would try for one more lol.. Here is a list of the flavorings I have on hand, if anyone can help me out with a recipe or 2, or even some ideas on how to change it up it would be greatly appreciated.

LorAnns
- Canadian Maple
- Marshmallow
- Peanut Butter
- Chocolate
- Root Beer
- Cherry


The Flavor Apprentice

- Apple
- Double Chocolate (Clear)
- Raspberry (Sweet)
- Cinnamon Danish
- Orange Cream
- Peanut Butter
- Strawberries & Cream
- Maraschino Cherry
- Peppermint
- Blueberry candy

VIP Vapor Cigs Flavoring (Not Sure which flavor company since it has VIPs label on it)

- Butter Rum
- Fire Cured tobacco
- 555 tobacco
- Caramel
- Double Dutch Chocolate
- Graham Cracker
- Vanilla Bean


That's the list for now... I also have Stevia for a sweetener... I am sooo lost as to where to go from here, I know that I wont go back on the analogs, but I'm just not enjoying my vape as much anymore... Please Help!!!

That took forever to type on my phone....lol...

I read that TFA Strawberries and Cream was good on its own @ 12%

 

[LunchusBoxious]

Well that is where I went wrong with that flavor then because I was mixing it at 20%... At the beginning I felt I was doing fine, I was enjoying my flavors, now I just cant seem to get anything right...

 

[michaelsil1]

Patience!

The cinnomon danish is good with apple. I used the cinnomon danish at 7%, I had apple pie and it's weak so I used 10%. If the apple is stronger that maybe too high for that. I have been thinking about trying the raspberry with that recipe.

Maybe you need to get a few new flavors to change things up a little. Cappella's is running a sale.

 

[michaelsil1]

Capella is the easiest to work with.

20% is generally pretty high for flavoring. I always start at 12% because it is easy for the dropper I use and the size of my test batches. You have a lot of flavors I haven't experimented with, but I would give blueberry candy a shot with a pinch of raspberry sweet. If you are doing a lot of the same type of flavors (fruit/bakery/tobacco/coffee etc) its best to take a break from it for a while. I Love fruits, but I lose interest in some of my favorites. But after a few days of my coffee/bakery vapes, the fruit is perfect again.

Switch it up, keep your pallet interested, stay away from analogs

 

[LunchusBoxious]

I will check out capellas, is there a link around here somewhere?... I really liked the Apple with the cinnamon danish...kind of made an apple fritter juice... but as with most people I found that the cinnamon gave me flu like symptoms... maybe just caught the flu I'll have to try that one again....

I hit that hooiser #7, too much flavoring thing this week, with my mixing. I keep adding and adding and the flavor slipped away. It seems totally counter intutive but it's true! Are you using additive's? I find a little koodada can work wonders. Even at a level that you can't taste it. A bit more and you have a nice cool, frosty vape that is enjoyable

 

[LunchusBoxious]

Are there any Capella Flavorings I absolutely should have???

The only additive I have is Stevia, I guess I should be looking at others. I'm still kinda new to this... I have had a few extracts works out great, but I'm no longer a fan of tobacco flavors and I can only vape my Tim Hortons coffee for so long lol...

The list is long

Raspberry
Sweet Strawberry
Sweet Tangerine

Other members can chime in.

Ive noticed that alot of their flavors dont ship internationally (most of the ones I think I would like lol) but i will for sure be making atleast a small order to try some out.

I don't have any recipe reccomendations, but I agree with switchin it up a bit- your palate might have "adjusted" a bit to what you have...I see a lot of similar-in-style flavors there. The koolada is a great addition, for sure- when my tongue decides my blawberry (blueberry and strawberry) isn't amazing anymore, I will mix in a strawberry and koolada base my wife made, and it will start singing again!

Some tart fruits might help too. Maybe add some lemon to your sweet strawberry and wake those taste buds up! I haven't had capellas, someone else can tell you if they have a good lemon.

Hang in there!! Even sub-par juice flavors are better than Stinkies!! You can do it!!

Thanks for the link....When people are using lemon juice are they using actual lemon juice or a flavoring?

They're using Lemon Juice from those plastic Lemons you see in the Supermarket.
