I agree with @Letitia. One thing about the VTA Lemonades, Clear is MUCH better than Solo. I love LA but I like the VTA Lemonade Clear even more.
Wish I'd have seen this before my order had shipped. Guess I'll add the clear to the wishlist.

Hey, girl. Don't be such a stranger:wub:
I have been mixing more again, when it all steeps I'll pop in if I have any winners. Will say I'm loving playing with INW purple rain, a lovely violet with vanilla cream notes.

    Congrats to @FranC and @NotSoMini on your anniversaries ! :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:


    (I hit seven years 28 of June, and I am just grateful vaping came around !)

    Congratulations to everyone celebrating a vape Anniversary!

    I think I hit 4 years in June too! I didn’t commit it to memory lol!

    Huge congratulations to both of you, awesome! Edited to add: You too @PapawBrett !!

    Thanks all for the congrats and back at you too — great job everyone.

    For my own NET's I use 10% on most. A few of the cleaner blended tobaccos (no flavorings, just various tobacco leaves blended together) like 84 Turkish and Anniversary Kake I might go 15% to compensate for the mild flavor.
    If you are using synthetic tobaccos, I would try single flavors at 3% - 5% first.
    If you are interested, PM me (or hitman, I've sent him a list).

    I have not received the extracts yet however I am planning to start at ~12%. Clay’s stuff can be strong and I know for finished juice it s around 25%. Thank you for your offer — I will try the two I purchased first to see how it goes. I have mixed with Stixx Mixx extracts however it has been close to two years since I have had any of Clay’s premixes.

    I was happy to read that you did not commit to the exact date too. I think mine was somewhere mid-June. At the time I did not even know who or what ECF was. I was fortunate because when I first started vaping there were quite a few vape shops nearby. I use to hang around with the boys as much as I could just to learn not to say the shop owners/workers had a big hand in helping me too.

    You have to PM me to discuss which ones you might like before I know which ones to send ...

    I no longer eat grapefruit however your recipe sounds so good. For me in IRL grapefruit can be sweet, sour, bitter or a combination depending on the variety. I think white grapefruit is supposedly the least sweet so this sounds like it could be a real winner for you especially with the flavors used.

    Did you plan to?

    Yes — just moving slow. I was hoping Chefs would have received their MB flavors and this would have required just one order. As it stands now I will need to place at least two or three orders. If I forego MB Legendary Custard then two orders otherwise three.

    I'm still liking it. It has a moderate but acceptable sweetness.

    Hopefully, Chef's will have the flavors soon.

    I tried the FAUK single shot blends for Custard Pi and Vanilla Custard. I mixed both of these at 3.5%. The Vanilla Custard is my favorite of the two. There is something else going on in the background — maybe just a touch of caramel. This is not a replacement for FA Premium Custard nor CAP VC or INW Custard. If I want a lighter custard (not heavy) than I would use this. Custard Pi is more of a custard with pie crust. The pie crust is very light to my taste although there. I would not be surprised if FA Apple Pie was used for the crust since some mixers will use this flavor when wanting a crust. For my taste I would add some Apple Pie depending on how I used this.

    Is Chef's the name of the company?
