I really don’t know. I ordered the FW Butterscotch Ripple to try.

Thanks. I decided to ask Pippa. I know mixers can be funny about people wanting to change their recipes but the butterscotch throws me off. The rest sounds lovely.

From Pippa's kind reply, I think I will try The Zing with VTA Devon Cream and FLV Vanilla Pudding. The Butterscotch Swirl is cheap enough and maybe I will like it, so I will order some. Meanwhile, I will try it with the Devon Cream and Vanilla Pudding. Maybe it will be like lemon curd, just not as buttery.

    I used butterscotch ripple quite a bit when I was really into purilum flavors. I liked it with their sweet tobacco.

    i agree but also i hate this thread :p my shopping list keeps growing

    And it never ends. I’m up to almost 300 flavors and still seem to be missing at least one flavor from every recipe I see. I’m going to try a little harder to start subbing flavors instead of buying the illusive one or two I’m missing. Not to mention, the flv flavors can get pretty expensive.

    ok so i'm about to place an order with nicriver but they don't have ws-23, they have ws-3...would this one be ok, cooling but not minty?

    WS-3 is Koolada, for all intents and purposes. Many people get an off flavor from WS-3. It is fine for me, but the concentration is weaker than that of most WS-23 concentrations. I won't bore you with the chemistry but if you want WS-23, buy WS-23. No idea why Nic River doesn't carry it. They used to.

    Man, I had this fit of efficacy for a bit and like moved the sofa. I found more coffee, but no jet pack. Then, in a fit of awesomeness I like,, coiled up and wicked up a true just perfectly. I couldn't wait though and put some mystery juice in it. It tastes good, but I forgot to write anything on the label.

    Then I FOUND my jet pack!! It was stuffed into the couch, after all. Thank goodness because the husband got all FREAKY when I even mentioned losing it, sorta, like he was like "WHAT?"

    I should really look up the MSRP on my jet pack, potentially. And I have my flavors too, so that's like hip, I guess.

    No wonder I was so paralyzed this morning I dropped my Adderall instead of taking it. Tomorrow should be better. My jaw itches, I take this as a good sign.

    However, I have my flavors, but I am not mixing. Soon.... but not yet.

    The husband agrees it is as clean in here as when he left, and my bathroom is WAY cleaner. It's too small to let it get gross really though. I mean, this is a HUE house but the bathrooms could fit inside each other.

    maybe it's because I've been up since 3:30 am and worked a hard day on the water, or maybe I'm just a dummy.. but the diyjuicecalculator has got me baffled. Good thing the recipe I want to start with has a calculator right on the web page. Maybe that particular calc is too advanced for a noob like me at this point.

    I don't have Holy Vanilla. I really like INW Shisha Vanilla and that is my go-to vanilla. I decided to find out what I was missing with Holy Vanilla but am confused. DIYFlavorShack has Holy Vanilla and Holy Vanilla v2. Help!!!!! Does anyone have any input on which I should buy? Thanks!

    I only have the original. I wonder if v2 has the “harmful “ ingredients removed?

    Let us know what she says.

    "It's a case of balancing the flavour of the lemon with the creams and by "creams" I include Custards as a cream. I did originally try FA Custard (original with the slight lemony backnote) and it was ok but it felt with using that here that the vape felt a little thin.That's why I went the FA Premium route. Cap V1 custard could work in a similar profile to this but IMO would need Cap New York Cheesecake to fill out the custard better but would also need around 3-4 weeks to become really decent. Devon cream could be interesting, especially the vape train version for that silky like texture, but I haven't played with that in a custard as such. FW or TFA Bavarian Cream while I love both I tend to find in earlier experiments find that it kinda gets lost in custards and positions far better IMO in bakery/fruit profiles. Now the FLV Vanilla Pudding will play nicely in most situations and as a custard. It could work here nicely. Fresh03 does a "Quick Custard" which is a great quick steeping custard that is 4% Liquid Barn Vanilla Ice Cream and 0.75% FLV Vanilla Pudding, so if you have the LB VIC you could try that as well. The VT Pudding with those bready type of notes as delectable as that flavor is I would suspect that it might not fit in a profile like this. Maybe a little Butterscotch/Caramel combo may also be worth exploring here as well to add a little finesse to the custard. I hope that helps a bit. Make/Create a remix and make it your own I say!"

    I went ahead and ordered the Butterscotch Ripple - you never know. LOL I am going to mix it up subbing FLV Vanilla Pudding and VTA Devon Cream - half and half for the Butterscotch Ripple while I wait.

    Custards are a new experience for me to vape. I had them and used them when I mixed for my son's friends. They weren't for me, at that point in time. I have discovered that I like some custard in some vapes. :) I mentioned that I tried both Nick's LMP-the Best and Lemondowski and didn't love them, for me. I kept them in tanks on mods and have been vaping both along. I am actually enjoying Lemondowski enough to mix up more. I am also enjoying the LMP, surprisingly enough. So, I guess I will try more of those kinds of vapes. Variety is the spice of life. It has been almost 6 years since I started vaping and tastes really do change.
