Random DIY mixing and More

[NatashaTMT]

This is a work in progress

CUCUMBER TEA
Cucumber Cap 1%
Juicy Strawberry FA .5%
Rhubarb INW .5%
Pom TFA 2%
Green tea TFA 2%

Don't have the TFA Green Tea yet. Just working on tentative recipes.

Looks refreshing! I wouldn’t have considered using rhubarb and pom together. But now that I see it, it seems like a no brainer.

I may try that one with the FA Green tea I have.

Your recipe got my mind working early this morning, considering rhubarb and pom possibilities

Time for a question. I do have a ton of rarely used creams. It came to my attention long ago that some folks use certain creams to cut sweetness. Never paid much attention to that because I really couldn't see any cream cutting sweetness.

Question being. What are those creams that are said to cut sweetness?

Happy to add to the possible mixer ideas.

It's a no brainer for me to use Rhubarb to cut sweetness. Should have dragged it out long ago.

IMO, all of them which aren’t sweet. When I add creams I know they’ll tone down any mix I use them in depending on the ratio of other flavors to cream(s). Any marshmallow, custards, pudding types and such which are sweeter I probably wouldn’t use to cut sweetness. Milkier options might be better here IMO.

Which would you say are best at cutting sweetness. Want to add this to my notes as I've never been real big on using creams.

@FranC have you ever tried using almond to cut sweetness?

Nope. does it?

Apparently... "There’s nothing quite like almond to cut the natural sweetness of a tropical fruit such as coconut or a fall favorite such as apple.” 3 paragraph description of an almond flavor: 1st para, 2nd to last line...
Almond Flavor Concentrate

Strange,I've never known Almond to cut sweetness. I'll have to experiment some time.

Hmm, considering it’s never been my goal... I’d have to say perhaps a minute amount of condensed milk, abc isn’t too sweet IMO, any banana creams you’ve found to not be (too) sweet, I haven’t tried my cream cheese mix yet but it might work well, vanilla bean or stronger vanillas can kill sweet sometimes, maybe a coconut cream, FLV or Hang Cream, FA Fresh cream, TFA Dairy Milk, TFA Greek Yogurt or other yogurts, less sweet Irish creams, TFA Malted Milk?, INW Nugat or nougats in general, FE Oak Milk...

Others which may or may not help: I know you’ve tried some of these... Wondering about brie cheese, taro or sweet potato, boozy, citric acid, INW peanut, cocoa, toast, crescent rolls, yeasty flavors, Bitter Wizard, Trimethyl Pyrazine, MTS vape Wizard, earthy tobaccos such as Hangsen Indian

Wish I had more to offer in this area!

I can't vape coconut and don't like banana. ABC is sweet but I love it. Malted Milk and nougat just scream sweetness to me.Yogurts I do not like at all. Sweet potato?????? Where did that come from I mix with nuts quite often. Additives don't work well for me.I'm difficult

Maybe you would like my "Too Cool" which is a remix of a remix of Naked 100's Very Cool. Super simple berry recipe.

Too Cool
10% Menthol Solution (Optional) 1%
TFA Blackberry 2%
TFA Blueberry Wild 4%
TFA EM/Cotton Candy .75%
TFA Raspberry Sweet 3%
WS-23 .75% (optional)

This is very popular with the guys I mix for.

That doesn't look too far off from what I was trying to do with my berry mix. I'd need to get the TFA berries since I just have FW right now.

I really liked the way mine tasted I just can't seem to get it to wick right in my tank. Which seems odd because the fruit flavors are supposed to be pretty easy on coils. I'm doing 50/50 PG/VG. My other juices seem to wick fine.

That and the problem with the flavor fading...but I almost wonder if that's not unrelated to the wicking issue.

Sweet potato?????? Where did that come from

If you over salt a stew for example while cooking, drop a potato in it while it’s cooking and let it boil. Potato will soak up the salt, fixing your stew or whatever you’ve over salted. So, perhaps it’d also soak up a bit of the sweetness in your juice. I believe it might be possible to use it to tone down sweetness by cutting it’s percentage in the mix without completely washing out your flavors. Maybe, maybe not. But if it were an issue for me, I’d try it.

I'll put that one on the back burner............

I know I'm pretty new to this thread but Happy Birthday Natasha.

I'm really enjoying reading all of the posts here. I think I'm going to go ahead and mix up a couple fruit/pudding base mixes when I get home from work tonight.
