I resisted the urge to grab anything that wasn't available in that size, because I just bought 2 Michael Kors bags for a little under $200... I've been coveting these for a long time.
They're used, therefore not the hundreds of dollars that they usually cost, but in fantastic condition.

This sounds so refreshing!
This is my best recipe to date! Sweet, juicy, refreshing watermelon & strawberry cooler Lucozade, straight out of the fridge
Tastes EXACTLY like the new Lucozade Watermelon & Strawberry Cooler. The drink to me tastes like a melted down red slush to me so that what I've replicated with these flavours. You will love this flavour especially on them hot summer days!
The recipe is on ELR. Luco Watermelon & Strawberry

I'd be curious to hear what you think of the one shots after you get a chance to try them.
That makes sense to me. If you break down the flavors by type, it looks like this:
3% creams
2% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
1% Sweet Cream (TFA)
3% caramels
1% Caramel Butter (WF)
1% Caramel Candy (FW)
1% Caramel v2 (CAP)
1.5% nuts
1% Hazelnut (FW)
0.5% Hazelnut (Hazel Grove) (FA)
0.25% other
0.25% Sweetener (TFA)
Caramel (in general) is a pretty dominant flavor. Having twice as much caramel as the nut flavors, it seems reasonable, that the nut presence gets overwhelmed. If I were looking for the hazelnut to stand out; I would reduce the caramels by 1/2 to 2/3, and/or bump the hazelnut.
IDJoel, the more I vape this the more I like it. It is really hitting the butterscotch mark, but it could be a tad better. I have a question though. Do you think I should leave the 1.5% nut part in? Would something of this profile play that much of a role in what I am tasting? I know it might be difficult to answer that... I suppose a better question would be-- do you think adding butterscotch ripple will start causing some muting of flavors?
I guess I should probably make a couple testers with some minor adjustments.
Testers are your best bet since most of us taste things differently.
At my daughters til Sunday but have plans on mixing 2-3 more when I get home. Have a couple I want to try also.Getting antsy to try some new stuffs.
You're most welcome; I hope it helps.
I can't honestly say; as I don't know what your taste buds are, and aren't, sensitive to.
1.5% of a hazelnut combo is not a strong presence for me, but it would normally(?) be enough, for me to notice it is there. I think(???), as you have initially mixed it, I would be able to detect the difference if it was omitted... at least in a side-by-side comparison.
As for your muting concern; I just don't know. I have never tried mixing that many caramel/butterscotch ingredients together. Overall, your total flavoring percentage is not that high (7.75% so far). So, I don't think(?) it is a huge risk (maybe, omit the Sweetener, for the time being?). I do see a potential for too many "similar" flavors, to start stepping on one another's toes, and the recipe becoming a muddy/confusing blend. It may help... it may not.
I agree, that the best way to find out and know for sure; is to do several small testers of the variations, and compare them (side by side) to the original version. Hopefully, you have enough of the first batch, to save a bit, for comparison. (Do allow some leeway, in your evaluation, for the different steep times. Or, mix a second batch of the original version, for a closer "apples to apples" comparison.)
I am sorry... I wish I could be less wishy-washy for you. My taste buds are just so different (aka. "abused"), than most other mixers, that I am reticent to say what someone else may taste.
Let us know what you do. And, what you discover. If nothing else; I think it will be a good learning experience.
Here's to your success!

Oh no, I should apologize for the wishy washy question. When I went back and read it I almost deleted it, but I kind of frown on that. I figured I'd only look foolish for a little bit..lol
What I find odd is that hazelnut FW can add some creaminess to a vape, at least when I did testers on it. I think for that reason I might still keep it in, there might be some layer in there some where.
When I first started DIYing I tried to recreate a juice I use to purchase. It's called Grumpy Old Basdart. Incorrect spelling due to filters. It's a good strong butterscotch and caramel flavor. It was so bad that I gave up after one try.
But this mix I've done has me wanting to try tweak it and see if I can get closer to the flavor profile. I think I am going to try taking the hazel grove out, and adding some butterscotch ripple. I might up the Bavarian Creme a percentage to get a little more creaminess like the original has.
I also realized today that this has also only steeped 11 days. I don't know why I thought it was longer... Perhaps I should wait a week or two to see how it develops further.
I appreciate everyone who's taken the time to read this post and wonder, "couldn't he have thought this out on his own?"
Don't ever hesitate to work something out here and bounce things around on a few folks. You never know.Oh no, I should apologize for the wishy washy question. When I went back and read it I almost deleted it, but I kind of frown on that. I figured I'd only look foolish for a little bit..lol

Sometimes it's only when you try to explain something to someone else that you figure out exactly what you mean.
Yes,indeed. That can happen also.
Happy weekend mixers. I’ve got a bunch of new screenshots of recipes to go through and decide what I want to mix. Probably not until Sunday though. Today is my wife’s bday and I am taking her out. Then tomorrow the outlaws are coming over.
No, just one cake with cupcakes that I picked up on my way home tonight. I’m taking her to dinner and shopping which is what she wanted to do.
Did she give you any idea what she wants to shop for?

My chef's order came today! It was so large, it came in 4 chef's boxes. I put them in the fridge without even gazing at them.
Today was.... Today was.... I can't even... I have made the worst (and most unique) vaping error that may have been made to date.
I can't even.... I'm so embarrassed but relieved. I really want to crawl in a hole and I'm going to be so busy this weekend with notes I told the husband not to come.
Maybe I can make my notes like this post. Not too lengthy OR informative. I mean, I can TRY.
I will just hold tight to this feeling of embarrassment and be terse.
OMG.
