Well I'm 34 pages behind in this thread. I know, that's how it goes lol.
Just on this page I saw subjects ranging from roofing to mouthcare to uv lighting to milkshakes!! :lol::lol::pervy:

I've got a milkshake I'm vaping up right now thanks to FranC's Milkshake Base, slightly changed.

Peach Milkshake -
1 Biscuit INW
2 Juicy Peach CAP
1.5 Milk and Honey Flavorah
2.5 White Peach FA
1.5 Shisha Vanilla INW
3.5 Vanilla Bean Ice Cream CAP

Is it just me or do some flavorings seem to thin out a mix more than others?
I always noticed this with orange flavored liquids especially, but some strawberries and I'm sure plenty of others seem to do it too. Perhaps not at the time of mixing but definitely with steeping. So it seems to me anyway..........:?:
Maybe this goes hand in hand with how some flavors just seem juicier or wetter than others.

For me the juice isn't thinner but the mouthfeel can be. Not many citrus flavors contribute mouthfeel.

If you want cheesecake you need to mix some base and let it steep at least a month
hehehe i'm too impatient.... but yeah gonna need to make some for steeping
was just looking for something fairly quick to try yesterday, I knew it wouldn't be great off the shake but it really didn't taste anything like cheesecake so didn't feel like waiting on it to steep... I need to do a lot of bottles, I'm down to 1 full 30ml and 2 half bottles....

Gotta love it when a recipe works ! A chocolate cookie recipe borrowed from @Frenchfry1942 is spot on and tastes just like a chocolate cookie. A new favorite !
Milk Chocolate (TFA) - 6%
Sugar Cookie (CAP) - 4%
Double Chocolate (Clear) (TFA) - 2%
Brown Sugar (TFA) - 2%

I shall be back home tomorrow morning and I have plans on trying the bourbon milkshake. Some sft's might be good to try and others not. I'll have to look through them.

Oh, I definitely want to hear how it turns out Fran. One of my favorite premade juices was a brown sugar bourbon milkshake flavor by Skipfish. I used part of your base because I lacked the milk&honey part, but I made a BBM that hits all the right spots that the original did. I got some aged bourbon cream on my last bcf order, I might add some in my next batch.

    All of my flavors are in amber or cobalt glass, do you think I still need to worry about the sun? My blinds are the kind that still let in light so if you think that UV exposure is still an issue, let me know

    Can you just stick up somehow a blockout blind for your flavours, or maybe just a pulldown screen that will block the light. Curtains would look cuter ;) but fiddler.

    I can’t believe I didn’t even think of sewing a little curtain for it, that’s absolutely PERFECT! Thank you!

    I’ll make sure I post what I think of it tomorrow. "......................BTW, that Aged Bourbon Cream is good stuff.

    Sonic used to have a brown sugar bourbon milkshake that was delicious, have considered trying to develop something similar in a vape.
    There's a blue coconut slush from Sonic I want to develop as a vape, it's delicious and I know I'd love it as a vape!

    VT blueberry candy might be a good fit for that as far as texture goes. I don't care for coconut so haven’t tried that one.

    I finally found some time to mix today. It is hard to find a spare minute these days with running the kids from activity to activity and taking care of the 9-month-old. It was exciting to finally mix up some of the things I have been wanting to try. I made:

    240mls of Peppermint Snow
    30mls of Sheerluckozade Pink (that is the name on ELR - it is a pink grapefruit/lemonade mix
    30mls of English Blood (the name on ELR - it is a fizzy lime and pom mix)
    30mls of Lemon Gin - my own concoction that I will share if it is good - basically VTA Botanical Gin with Lemon Trinity
    60mls of Sherbet Lemon

    I feel accomplished. LOL

    No I wanted to but I’ve been so busy. Just mixed with the MB Big Watermelon.

    I did get a tip from one of the mixers on Chefsflavours FB. He has pinned flavor notes on Chefsflavours FB. It’s using FLV Watermelon with another watermelon. I can’t remember what it is right now. I’ll look it up & let you know tomorrow.

    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. :)

    Thanks for the follow up. I do not have FA Watermelon so need to either buy this or MB Big Watermelon.
