One of the most disappointing things I came to realize when starting off mixing was that one flavor concentrate wasn’t usually enough to get a “true” representation of a particular flavor. I remember finding out that I’d need probably 2 or 3 similar flavors to get that one flavor I wanted.

Anyway that’s the justification I use to have over types of 8 grapes, 7 lemons, 9 creams etc... lol!

Hence, 4 concentrate cases later and growing :)

New recipe alert. Zing from Pippa Starr.

Zing

I have everything to make this even down to the FA Lemon Zest. A couple of flavors look a little odd to me however I am going to mix as is first before making any changes. Who knows I may be pleasantly surprised.

I get no taste from ws23 but I can taste koolada at higher percentages

I need to look however I think I threw away my bottle of WS-23 because of the taste which I was not expecting. If I did, I will buy another one next time I order from ECX. I cannot even find the recipe I used it in so no idea how much I used. To get the cold sensation without taste, what is a safe percent to start with?

Thanks for the warnings:) my wishlist just got lighter.

I had the same thought for different reasons. Every time I hear sweet I become suspicious because of the muting it may cause for me. What I have read though says it is sweet so not up your alley.

I did send off an email yesterday to RF inquiring. The only possible suspect I can see is maybe Vanillin although the percentage is very low. However I am not a chemist nor did I take chemistry so no idea. If anyone wants to chime in, please do so.. At least I am not seeing EM or Maltol so may give it a try. This is what they sent me

Ethyl alcohol <12.5%
Citric acid <0.5%
Vanillin < 0.05%
1,2-Propylene glycol < 50%

My chef's order is being delivered today via special courier (the husband) if he remembers. That would be fantastic. Especially if he remembers (he may not.)

I got m snus, had to pick it up from the UPS store. Signature required and all that. They charged me and extra TWO DOLLARS. It was a UPS PACKAGE. I asked why and the dude was like, "You did not pick it up from an access point."

I was like…. "I think that means you are saying the driver had to drive the extra oh, mile here and so you are gouging me is that what that means?"

He was like, "Yep." I now have enough snus to like, last a while though but man the UPS store is for the rich and feckless. LOL.

I had my busiest week yet but everyone is all happy with me, the docs anyway. So happy, even evil doc (I should stop calling him that) is like, fine.

I think this bleach thing may be working. I'm gonna get another round of abx to be on the safe side though. I had to clean last night and it was HORRIBLE.

I don't do well with cleanliness when I'm sick. I'm like extra awful. I even mopped the floors though. That's not like me but I was like.... "Eh... The husband should not have to enter an environment that is so bad to clean.

This bucket is the one he picked up from Ace swearing the whole time. I like it. It's lighter and easier to t manage than the last one by far.

Some people say that they can taste Koolada (I cannot) but I haven't heard anyone say that they can taste WS-23. We are all different so if you say you do, I believe you do.

It has been over a year since I tried it and at this point I do not remember what I tasted other than I did not like it. I will give it try again.

Further to @PJReid comment about FA UK, yes they do make flavors that are not available to us nor sold by FA IT. For all you custard lovers, I remember FA UK has/had another custard — Custard Pi 3.14. At the time I did ask HIC what is the difference between Custard, Premium Custard and Custard Pi 3.14. The response was not quite clear to me.

I would start around .5. I dont think I have ever went past 1%

Lucky! Let me know how you like it. I have to wait until my Chefs order comes in.

I'm glad you found that before ordering. I have reordered flavors that I already have by mistake but haven't done it with complete orders. I have however found boxes of flavors stashed that I forgot about. The elr flavor stash has helped me stop ordering flavors I already have. I can access it at work, home, or anywhere as long as I have my phone.

My flavor stash is in a large Harbor Freight snap top parts box. Since I started vaping mostly unflavored those bottles haven't been opened much. Some are maybe 3 years old, but are clear and still smell right. I'm not sure how long flavors last at room temp, but so far the ones I use are still good vapes.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Well, I caved. I went ahead and placed a chefs order. I know I’m weak. That’s it on spending for me for the month. I figured since it was 20 off and I was paying for shipping, I may as well order the stuff on my bcf wishlist too instead of paying freight twice.

    I’m finally trying custard the quickening. I don’t know if my taste buds are off or what but I’m not tasting much but get the custard feel. I’ve got so many good recipes in different tanks that I don’t know which one to pick up.

    I bought FA Lemon Zest when Chefs had their anniversary sale. Could not pass up on “Lemon” although at the time I did not have anything in mind. Now I do.

    I tasted mine after a seven day steep and it was so-so for me. I get the custard coating feel in my mouth which does not excite me and not much else. I am going to let me mine steep longer and see what happens.

    For Custard - The Quickening I actually like it better with my sub of JF Bavarian Cream than the CC Devon Cream. I don’t steep mine as the author says it’s a SNV & of course will get creamier with a steep. For me the CC Devon Cream fades some when steeped. The JF Bavarian Cream does not.
