I will be curious about your findings. I have tried a ton of coffee flavors and none are really great. This one I havent tried

Purilum Caramel Coffee with Sweet Milk is good but it is pretty sweet. It really tastes like coffee and close to that Starbucks bottles of Caramel Macchiato. I tried it after a couple weeks and don't remember it changing much after that
I mixed it too strong on my first attempt and forgot to go back and mix a new bottle at a lower percentage. I think I was at 10% or so.
For a stand alone the caramel coffee w/ sweet milk was good for me at 7%. I add in some HS cream and FA caramel for Meg, add in a coffee boost for myself. Going to add RF SC aged bourbon cream and VTA coffee liqueur in the next mix. The mix my cousin likes is too sweet for me.
If you’re talking about the sweet-T I mix it about 7-10%. If you’re asking about the strawberry, I can’t help, I’ve never used it.
Sweet tobacco for me is 6/7% stand alone, and in mixes as well.
The first combo I made was the sweet tobacco 7% butterscotch ripple 3%, so good. The butterscotch really changes with time.

My Purilum order came yesterday. I have only single flavor tested Fresh Coconut and Golden Pineapple. The Fresh Coconut, immediately after mixing the tester, tastes like lightly sweetened plastic. I have read other places that it takes a week for that to steep out so I will taste it again next weekend. The Golden Pineapple reminds me of CAP Golden Pineapple, which isn't a bad thing at all. Some say it fades with time. I guess I will find out. I would say that both are weak and will need to be used at a fairly high percentage even in a mix.
I haven't single flavor tasted the other flavors I bought yet. I did throw 1% of the Cheesecake Graham Crust into a complicated Piña Colada I made tonight and we will see how that goes. I will test the others as I have time - still on the house renovation project so am too tired to play with vape flavors much right now. Soon, though.
I mixed up the Piña Colada because I am almost out of the one I mix from my usual delicious recipe but wanted to try a little something different with this version.

Thanks to you both for the feedback. I read on reddit that the pineapple fades with a steep but that was just one person's opinion so thanks for that @Letitia. I was really disappointed in the Fresh Coconut - plastic!!!! Glad to hear a steep takes care of that, @Beamslider. My newest ADV is a Piña Colada so those two flavors are key ingredients and I am looking for the best. I don't think that Purilum will end up being the best pineapple, but should be a replacement for CAP Golden Pineapple which I used in smaller %s in my recipe. The coconut, well, that is another story. LOL
I have many pineapples and the Hangsen and WF (SC) are my favorites. Those two and the Purilum will be the only pineapples I will continue to order. I enjoy Cap GP but it is needed in high percentage and is not as good as HS & WF imo.
I haven't tried either of those, but I will thanks to your recommendation. Agree on CAP GP - it goes into mixes with other pineapples at under 1% to add sweetness.
Have you tried Inawera Pineapple? It is wonderful!
This is a fresh, juicy, authentic fresh pineapple flavor. It is juicy and sweet, like a fresh pineapple. It is weak for Inawera but a very good pineapple flavor. Use as high as 5% and maybe as high as 6 to 7%, even in a mix. This flavor is in a virtual tie with Vape Train’s Sugarloaf Pineapple for best pineapple flavor available. If I use it with just a touch of CAP in my Piña Colada, it goes in at 5.5%.
VT Sugarloaf is a real winner, IMO.
Sugarloaf pineapple is a pineapple variety that is white and even the core can be eaten. This is the Kauai Hawaiian pineapple and what you get if you get pineapple in Hawaii. The VT Sugarloaf Pineapple is a fresh, juicy, sweet, authentic pineapple. It is as good as Inawera’s pineapple and maybe even better, more authentic – I give it a slight edge over INW. It is sweet, it is juicy, it tastes as fresh as a bottled flavor can taste. Like other pineapple flavors, it is not strong. Use it at 5% to 6% in a mix. I mixed it half and half with INW in my latest Piña Colada experiment, 3% of each VT and INW.
The INW came off as a juice for me. Tasty but not my sweet spot for a PA. When I tried the others I pif'd the INW and Signature (Fa). I haven't tried VTA PA, may have to now. I use the HS and WF between 1-3%.
@Letitia - I haven't found, and don't expect to find, the perfect pineapple (or coconut) in one bottle. The recipe I love (but my experiment sure does smell good) combines INW Pineapple, CAP GP, and TFA Pineapple. My new one has 3% INW, 3% VT, and .8% CAP. I might miss the sweet, candied pineapple flavor that TFA brings but hopefully made up for in the coconut choices. I will know soon.
Tried the caramel coffee with sweet milk this evening. Was about 6 days, @8%.
It tastes sweeter than initially mixed. I get a faint caramel, definite coffee, but zero cream or sweet milk.
It tastes like the morning coffee that you left on the counter, and picked up at noon, with a little sugar in it. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, I just want more of that creamy/caramel/butterscotch.
I think I’ll add 2-3% butterscotch ripple to 7-8% of this mix and see if it can take the edge off the sugar in black edge.
Not bad as a stand alone though, I’ll let my initial sit for another few weeks and see how it develops.

I let mine steep for about a month and did pick up more of the caramel flavor but mixed it at 10%. I usually like strong flavors but that was a bit too strong for me. I need to revisit it.
I like the Sweet Tobacco/Pistachio mix well enough that I vape a lot of it. Decided to go large and make a batch to last awhile.
Made 1 Liter.
83 ML of 48 ML Nicotine base
80 ML of Sweet Tobacco
20 ML of Pistachio
768 ML VG
49 ML PG
Should be right at 80 VG / 20 PG 4 ML Nic
Plan on letting it steep 4 weeks then decanting to 60 ML bottles to store and use. Should hold me for awhile.

I have considered making that much of a recipe but chickened out and only went as high as 250ml. And that wasn't easy to shake or blend. How did you ensure the 1 liter was completely mixed?
