FLV Pink Guava has juiciness to it, so is great in a grapefruit mix. Also, it is magical to me - as long as you don't pick up banana like my son does. Some people pick up a strawberry note, some a pineapple note - I just get a flavorful grapefruit.

Riding in his truck my brother says, "Seriously? Cotton Candy?"
It was strawberry-peach.

    It is funny that I don't drink at all but have become a boozy mixer. :D I love my Fizzy Sea Breeze and Fizzy Bay Breeze mixes - both are better after a few days steep. The Sea Breeze (grapefruit) was decent as a S&V, but turned into something rather wonderful after three days. The Bay Breeze (pineapple) needed the steep - the pineapple didn't show up much at all until day 3. The Gin Breeze also benefits from a few days sitting so that everything can blend and bloom. I am really enjoying these mixes. Can't wait to try the Champagne Pomegranate Sparkler - my other Pom should be here tomorrow. I want to make some very minor changes to the three I mentioned, try out the Sparkler, the Margarita, and a fabulous sounding Raspberry Fro-yo (booze-free), so hopefully, I can mix tomorrow evening. I am having some work done in the kitchen (should be finished tomorrow) so it is hard to mix during the day. I will let them all sit for at least three days and report back here. What a fun thread you started @FranC! Thank you!

    Maybe I will start a bootleg juice line and call it "Dive Bar." LOL
    @PJReid. Fizzy Bay Breeze recipe?

    Hello @FranC! Love your thread. Have already picked up some good ideas from you and others. Two of those double sided (nail polish) storage boxes arrived the other day. This weekend I am definitely going to get my flavours sorted:yawn:
    But I must remember to make room for the dozen or so flavours I have on order.....:w00t:

    @Possum64 It's so futile,Catherine......LOL. I thought I'd provided extra spaces in my Liquor section (case). It's full and I'll have more coming. If I can't make room for the champagnes in the case maybe I can do an overflow section in my drawer divider.....LOL

    That it is! Good intentions will go out the window quickly I am sure. I am going to try a white chocolate with a couple of drops of spearmint mix this weekend. It is a tweek on one of your ideas I read early on in this thread.

    I haven’t played around much with my plums yet. I have enjoyed INW smoked plum though. I don’t remember if it’s been mentioned yet here in the “plum” discussion. IMO it’s fun to mix with being that it’s a bit different. There is definitely, but not overly done, sweetness IMO. Especially not used in a mix. ATF notes...

    Sweet & sour plum flavoring with a light hint of smoke, giving it Contrast and just the right amount of sour to set off sweet notes. This one definitely has umami sweet savory and delicious.

    I hope that works out good for you.:) I can't vape spearmint. Don't like it at all but I can eat it just fine.
    Oh dear! Thanks for the tip. I haven't vaped spearmint yet. Hope it is ok. Love the taste, but I will be sure to start out with a tiny bit then. Can always add more....:)

    Taste is subjective. You will probably like it. Lots of people do. The only mint I can vape is peppermint.

    I have another strange question. Has anyone mixed with cucumber? I could never imagine mixing with such a flavor but I came across a recipe that actually sounded very good. I have the cucumber on my wishlist but I can't find the dang recipe.

    Yes but the recipe was a request and nothing I’d ever vape. It was disgusting IMO. To each their own though. It’s a Cloud 9 by Bang Vapor clone... cucumber, mint, mojito and lime. I can see the cucumber working well in other mixes though.

    Guess I don't need the cucumber since I can't find the dang recipe. Unless of course someone has such a recipe? I have a few recipes to tweak to my liking.

    I bought Cap Cereal 27 for a recipe a while back. I just found the recipe on my wee bit of paper. My tweaked version as follows

    Hazelnut Cereal Bites

    Cap Cereal 27 4%
    WF Hazelnut and Cream 3%
    TPA Vanilla Bean Ice Cream 1%
    INW Vanilla Cream .5%
    FW Salted Caramel .3%

    I saved this recipe a few months ago but haven’t tried it myself yet. I think it shows cucumber can be bent and used several ways at least...

    I didn't think I would like a cucumber vape but I tried Cape Fear - Lumina a while back without reading the profile and it was awesome. I tried TFA and FA cucumber but they tasted weird to me but CAP's Cucumber was perfect. Here is the recipe:

    Cape Fear Lumina Clone
    * CAP Cucumber 2%
    * TPA Key Lime 3%
    * TPA Toasted Marshmallow 1.5%

    You could probably use CAP New Marshmallow instead of Toasted or any of the marshmallows really but the TPA Toasted Marshmallow was the best for this mix for me. I don't remember the steep time but when it turns a reddish amber color and smells amazing its ready.
