    I seem to have a chronic, mild case of vaper's tongue the last few months, I miss my palate and I don't understand what's causing it, I've tried rotating juices and that doesn't seem to help :unsure:

    I was going to suggest a meds change being the cause too. Two of the more amusing 'cures' I've seen are:
    1. Inhale a bag of freshly ground coffee beans (I do this every morning when making my flat white ;))
    2. Suck on a lemon :blink:o_O:grr::lol:

    I got that in for Meg, not a coconut fan myself. What percentage did you use. She still prefers a higher flavor percentage than I do.
    NM reread the post, I'll start her at 4 with the coconut rum I got in for her.
    I also found INW Pinacolada to be a good stand-alone. It is more of a generic Pina Colada "grocery store bottle mix" vs. one made with scratch ingredients (coconute cream, fresh pineapple, etc.), but good none the less. It, to me, is extremely versatile and can easily be bent in just about every direction. Additions of pineapple, coconut, booze, and/or creams; as well as other fruits like passion, mango, strawberry; all play nice with this one. It vapes well by itself, but for me, is best as a base. Also, as @Skeebo already mentioned; it is a short steeper (3 days was plenty for me) which is always a bonus.

    I am a tight draw, single coil, low watts, tootle-puffing MTL vaper. And I seem to like my flavors a little higher than most folks on this thread. Some might call me a high flavor person, but I think of my self in the medium category (generally 12% total flavoring is plenty, and I can often go lower; but I am not opposed to going higher either... if it tastes better ;)).

    All that said to give some context... I like INW Pinacolada, as a stand-alone, at 6%. If I am going to add boosters; I drop the PC to 3.5-4%, and add 2-4% of the "extras" (depending on what I am trying to do with it).

    I'm going to try that, thank you for the insight. I've been a DL vaper for the last 5 years but recently switched back to mtl. I tend to like my flavors stronger too, and I ain't fraid of sweetener.:) I will admit though that my juices are not nearly as sweet as the over counter stuff I was buying.

    How sweet is the INW Pina Colada?

    I don't like coconut either. I'm hoping to get a few mixes made this weekend. I've taken a ton of screenshots and have bought new flavors to make some of them. I've also been meaning to mix the five star custard. I wasn't all that impressed with custard the quickening but am trying to use up the 15ml I made.

    Mix in some fruit. Might help.

    Jazz it up with some fruit.

    Two seconds later: Which I see @FranC already suggested.

    @Heartsdelight — Did you ever try Gallagher’s with FLV Watermelon? If so, which did you like better — MB or FLV although I think I know the answer ;)
    Liam Davey from Chef’s pinned files on FB on FLV Watermelon. He suggested FLV Watermelon @ 1.5-2% & I gained from his notes on FA that combined with FA Watermelon @ .5% would give us a juicy watermelon if trying to sub MB Big Watermelon.

    Like I said I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. But I will when I get some time. :)

    WLLMC formerly owned “Mama J’s Flavoring Co.” now works at Bull City Vapors. Created this recipe for me :wub:

    I mixed up @wllmc Heartsdelight Apple Cream Cake & yum!!!!! Thanks so much :blowkiss:
    Can’t wait to see how it changes in 3 - 5 days.

    It’s still a work in progress, but its quite delicious. To see his notes, go to V U.

    Vaping it on my new Coppervape Hussar Style Project X rta. Totally different from what I usually vape at. I’ve tried SS316L 3mm id,26g, 7 wraps .50 ohms at 27 watts &

    SS304 2.5mm id 8 wraps .71 ohms at a stunningly low 17 watts.
