I haven't personally tried FA Honey but many reviewers say it tastes exactly like cat urine. My question there is, how do they know what cat urine tastes like? LOL

LOL — I have used FA Honey and it tasted exactly like honey to me. Granted I was a little nervous and even cut back on the specified percent in the recipe. I have to wonder how much they were using.

Another email from BCF letting me know my taking updated. Order is out for delivery. I will pick it up when I get home Sunday morning.

Saw this after I posted. This is good news.

Talked with first lady who tried transferring me to the person who deals with USPS issues. Was on hold for awhile, then got a message for me to leave a message. Left one detailing the problem and just now got the following email from BCF:

"Your shipment was shipped on May 27th but did not go out until May 28th due to the Memorial holiday. Your shipment is currently in transit to your location, but USPS failed to scan the shipment, which may be why the tracking information has not updated. I will contact USPS and continue to monitor. The tracking information will update once they scan it into the next facility. Sorry for any inconvenience."

I just checked my tracking on both packages and it says delivered to mailbox for both. I guess I better set my coffee down and walk outside to the mailbox now.


Edited to add: it's all here!

@FranC — FA Cream Whipped taste like real whipped cream rather than the whip cream out of a can. For myself I find the kitchen flavors I have tried to be stronger than the regular FANA line. I would start ~1% as you can adjust from there depending how you plan to use it in a recipe.

Disappointed in the FW huckleberry. Very artificial tasting, barely even tastes like huckleberry. Maybe I should let it air out some?

In what order are you organizing your cases? By manufacturer? Type? Alphabetical?

I organize mine using the My Flavor Stash oN E L R. After awhile you’ll end knowing where the concentrates are or at least the the area it will be in.

To stay with my organized chaos life, I have my two polish cases organized alphabetically on each side so that I can add to one side without having to redo the whole case. I have a list on each side. My stack on cases are listed on a piece of paper in the case by section. One I have a master list to tell me which compartment each is in. The other one I still need to make a list for. I just have each section listing what's in each section but not in any kind of order. One day I will make a master list to tell me exactly what is in each case. I would really like to move everything to polish cases.

My second bcf order came yesterday and my first one is out for delivery today.

Yes and no worries about sitting in my mailbox for a bit. Hot weather hasen't happened here yet.

Last weekend I mixed up a couple of old favorites, Eclair and Caramel Surprise. And a new to me, Pillow Talk, from this thread.
Or at least I tried to. I inadvertently added 10% instead of 5% on the Caramel. And I was far enough along with the mix that I just dropped the 5% French Vanilla.
Looks like it actually will be a caramel surprise this time ....

My BCF order arrived today too. 42 new (to me) flavors that have now officially pushed me over 400 concentrates. But, I am happy to report, all have been added to my calculator inventory, ELR stash, and put away (with locators updated).

And... I only had one user-error. I ordered 2 10mL bottles of VTA Sugarloaf Pineapple, when I only intended to get one. I can live with that.

I do have a bone to pick; with all my fellow Random ECFers, though. I placed my order at 3am Sunday... and they were already out of 30mL VTA Sour Lemon! Again!! I have been trying to snag one of those on sale... since last July (incl. at CF)! I could get all the 10mL, 2oz, and 4oz bottles I wanted; but not one lonely little 30mL. So, I consoled myself with a 10mL. Maybe the vape gods are telling me something...

To be honest; not many (for my palate). I have lots of "canned/candied/cooked/artificial-syrup-syrupy" or are jumbled up with other flavor notes (e,g, cookies, or creams, or other fruit), but not much in the way of "authentic/real/fresh."

So far, just off the top of my head; the ones that have passed my taste buds personal approval are:
TFA Cantaloupe
TFA Honeydew
TFA orange Mandarin
FA Lime Tahity - Cold Pressed
FA Kiwi

and that's about it. I do have others, that I use and enjoy, but I would not describe them as anything approaching fresh/unadulterated fruit flavor.


What exactly are you looking at? Are you looking at the BCF site? Or, the USPS tracking site? If the latter; you do know you have to expand the History bar, to see all the interim transfers right?

(Note: this is not from a BCF order; my BCF came via FedEx this time.)

Joel you gotta be quicker than 3am!! The sale started several minutes before midnight!

I was waiting impatiently for midnight to chime in when I saw that someone had already placed their order early and the code worked. I ended up placing my order about 5 minutes to 12am. Like many all I needed to do was press checkout and it was in.

I waited almost 3 weeks with my shopping cart almost full to get that sale!! I wasn’t about to miss out on any of the flavors I had selected!!!

My brain is in a Friday state of mind... opened the INW email about new flavors and snorted coffee out my nose.

Code NOMORE gets you 15% off, btw

That's funny Never liked bananna flavors so I can pass on that...........

I like it. Guess we all can't be the same

My BCF order has offically been deposited in my mailbox at home. Temp at home is 64. It be fine.

Was talking to the neighbor on the phone a short while ago, and he said, "Oh...there goes the mailman. I hope my vape mail came." I told him about my BCF order that was apparently stuck in limbo. We finished talking, and I just went to check the mail. It was in my mailbox! Was a good thing I was home, 'cause even being in the mailbox less than 20 minutes, made the contents warm already, in our 91 degree heat today!

Pulled up tracking info just now...and there's nothing between label created...and delivered. So it was a USPS tracking goof-up for sure!

Gotta wonder about some of these names that pop up these days. LOL. To be fair tho, I do like a banana flavor but don't know if I really need another brand as I am happy with what I have. Back when I first started mixing, I would use banana flavoring as a base for my bubble gum. Not many vendors or flavors for vaping at that time and LoRAnn bubble gum was sickening sweet. So I mixed a 30 ml of FA banana and put lorann in by the drop until I got the taste I wanted. The banana flavor disappeared and I had a bubble gum I could vape. I also think I may have added a few drops of FA black cherry to the mix. hmm, may just try that again to see what shakes out. LOL

We're mid 80's today and I'm stuck at work so my three vapemail packages will be cooking in the metal mailbox until five when I get home.
