Is that just with certain flavors? I mixed 50/50 for a long time and never had a separation problem. BTW,what do you use to stir your mixes?
Not my mixes. When I make my premade base. In high quantity. I use a 1000ml glass measuring cup which is surprisingly accurate but I measure everything in syringes first tho and then pour into mixing glass. And if I don't have any made -- the up to 30 ml is ok as long as you shake and let sit overnight before shaking and then vaping. It mixes fine. Sry should have said that in the other post. My vg isn't super thick tho it is a bit.

    I mixed Gallaghers' Ice POP. I get the ws-23 and a hint of canalope. I can think of 2 reasons why. 1. It usually takes me up to 15% of watermellon to get a strong good taste I can actually taste. Or I used PUR Wm instead of MB. When I did a sft of FLV Wild melons a while back the only taste I got was a strong canalope.
    I will try again maybe tomorrow.

    I thought for sure that I had everything for Fran's milkshake base, but I'm missing the TFA ice cream. :facepalm: These are the ice creams that I have on hand, so are any close to TFA's?

    • French Vanilla Ice Cream (Hangsen)
    • Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (Cap)
    • Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (Purilum)
    • Vanilla Ice Cream (LB)
    • Butter Pecan Praline Ice Cream (Purilum) - haven't SFTed this one, but if it's got the right body/creaminess, it might be a shortcut to a BPP-flavored milkshake, anyone? ;)

    My pick would be the Cap.

    Lemon meringue tart
    - lemon meringue tart VT - 6%: 0.6ml (0.62g)
    - lemon sicily - 6%: 0.6ml (0.62g)
    - yes, we cheesecake INW - 2%: 0.2ml (0.21g)
    - vanilla bean ice cream - 1%: 0.1ml (0.1g)

    Which VBIC did you use? The Lemon Sicily is FA's, correct? I just might have everything! :D

    Ah, I'm sorry.. I forgot to specify. Lemon Sicily is indeed FA, and VBIC is CAP. On second thoughts of this recipe maybe could use a bit more lemon sicily 1-2%, but it hasn't steeped very long. I had doubled it from 3% to 6%. I definitely wouldn't go lower than 6%.

    well needless to say I was fairly well nic'ed last night :p
    couldn't get the stupid seal off of the bottle of nic, ended up with some on my fingers.... 100mg of nic.... i'd say i'd wear gloves next time but then i'd never get a good grip on the seal to pull it off.....
    i mean it wasn't that bad but lmfao I wasn't graving a vape much last night :p

    Woo hoo, I *do* have everything for this, @barkfunklerbunk, thanks! Looks really easy to mix, too, so this may be soon. I do have FE Lemon, so I can use that to boost a bit, next time, if it does fade.

    Sweets & bakery vapes will quickly become my staples, as I'm now on a strict carb-free, sugar-free, and other inflamatory-foods-is there anything left-free diet. My UC is NOT doing well (I feel like I've been in the same flare for over a year now) and I refuse to take biologics (they scare the livin' crap out of me), unless I've exhausted everything else. So, keep those ooey, gooey, sticky, sweet vape options coming! :drool:

    I'm right there with you, sort of. I don't eat or drink anything with sugar(except small amounts in my kombucha), and just stick to whole foods.. by choice however, and not necessity. I really enjoy sweet/bakery juices though, and all of them I don't eat or drink. I don't feel any craving for a lemon meringue pie, etc. I hope it works for you! Life without sugar is not so bad, although may take some time given how addictive it is. You'd be surprised at how many regular foods you'll find at the grocery store that has sugar, i.e. pasta sauce. I've heard figures of 90% of grocery store items contain sugar. Give stevia a look. It's nature's sweetener.

    I would start with something like this, probably cutting the bergamot and increasing the percentage of the other 2. I'd also sub out the strawberry they used for Capella sweet strawberry, as it's a great concentrate and really commonly used so then you'll already have it for future recipes too. If you want to use the recipe as written perhaps adding some sweetener instead would help with the sweet you're looking for.

    Just off the top of my head. Something like this

    FA Black Tea 2%
    INW Shisha Strawberry 1.5%
    Cap Sweet Strawberry 2.5%
    WS-23 .75%
