Caramel and caramel candy have been tricky for me too. It always ends up tasting flat and dull.

Yeah, that's it. It's really dull, and then I add more flavor and it tastes like crap, sweetener didn't help either... Ordered some capellas caramel to see how that one is, also planning on getting some EM on my next WL order to see if that will fix it

What did you think of Capella's caramel?

Really hating the caramel so far, I tried it in 10%, 15%, mixed with ry4 and vanilla, solo and I can't seem to make it taste good. It has a really funny taste to it.... Any tips? Is the regular caramel just bad? Would I be better off with canday caramel or original?

The caramel has always been a tricky one for me as well. I've had much better luck with caramel original with numerous recipes.

I got the regular caramel once and it is awful, probably the worst thing i have ever tried... Caramel Candy seems to get alot of praise, I got that coming in today, hopefully it actually tastes like caramel

That's what I am working with. I'll get it figured out and posted...unless you beat me to it haha

so guys hazulnut + ry4 what percentages should i start at
kinda wanna make a small tester batch
please help me im new at this

Hey toxic, did you ever get an answer? That is what I'm trying to perfect right now. Starting with DRY4 at 8%, hazelnut at 1% and 2% in separate test batches. Both have .5% Vape Wizard included. I'll let you know. My base is 30/70 PG/VG however, not a big fan of too much PG.

Has anyone tried the Tobacco Blending Kit? I tried searching the forums with no luck. I'm really curious about this.

That looks like fun for a tobacco fan. I wonder what the 100 testing strips are for, pH? tasting? who knows.
If you try the kit, I'd love to hear how you like it and what you make!
