Share the info my friend. Recipes too.
Sorry. Store bought from quacks. And yeah. Tried a bunch of chocs and they all sucked. But would like to find a good dark choc. As far as DIY... problem is these hit my budz so well they're holding me back from mixing my own. Hard to improve on perfection. But my budz ain't yer budz!

I envy you I am cursed with my buds. Too many flovorings have a horrible artificial taste to me and artificial sweetners? HORRIBLE!
That's better than mine, no taste at all. vape wise anyway. I am having real trouble tasting anything when I'm vaping. Going through the percentage challenge now. vaping TFA Strawberry Real at 15% and can barely taste it. Sometimes I get a "burst" of strawberry but mostly blah. Don't know what's going on. I get TH when I vape it but no real flavor. Listening to folks talk about juices I get the feeling that they're tasting it strong and regular. Kind of like eating the real thing be it strawberries or apple pie, etc. I'm going to keep trying though because we all know it beats the hell out of the stinkies!

And before anybody asks, I started The TFA Strawberry Real mixes at 5% and slowly worked up to the recommended 15%. Had to get to 15% before I tasted anything. Do you all think I should go up from there? I understand that too much flavor is as bad a too little most times.

Maybe try other brands of flavors. TFA Juicy Peach I can barely taste but Capella I find is very strong flavor. TFA strawberry I can taste sometimes and not others but I have no idea why.

Try the CAP Sweet Strawberry.

That's a good idea but I don't really know who's are best. I've always heard that TFA was good and Strawberry Real gets great reviews. Any recommendations and where do you buy them? You know, best price? :)

Bull City Vapor and Ecigexpress have good selection and the best prices I have found.

Good morning, Porchers! I have a quasi-DIY question. I've got about 180 mls of a juice that is waaaay to strong (purchased), but whose flavor I like. I'm planning to mix that juice with PG/VG, and perhaps some vanilla custard (which I also have a lot of). I like sweeter juice, and will want to sweeten. For each 100mls of juice, what can I use for sweetener, and in what quantity? I don't have any DIY flavors, yet. Thanks for your help!

Little B... remember, anything you add will dilute the original flavor. And as far as your custard flavor... careful. I wouldn't trust anything from anywhere except a company that says it's safe to vape. While it may be perfectly safe and approved for the stomach (eating), it could be deadly for the lungs (inhaling).

Thanks, Gary. The custard is also ready made and comes from a company that says no diketones. I've mixed a bit of strong-flavor-1 with custard, before. Strong-flavor-1 was still too strong! So, diluting it will be good :cry:

ETA, I'm hoping Kenna's love of custards will ultimately point me in a good DIY custard direction. I love custard, but the diketones thing is kinda worrisome!

Ecigexpress is where I got my Capella flavors. I just started working with them so I am not really sure who has the best deals.
