    I wouldn't categorize it as slight. It is most definitely present. In fact, people around me smelling it instantly say it smells like chocolate. Now, it is tempered somewhat by the NET so I would say it has a medium presence (if that makes sense).
    The presence is what I’m trying to figure out. If the NET is lightly flavored you’d need to go light on the chocolate to avoid an outride taste

    I've had all those fancy, expensive, imported Swiss and Dutch chocolates, etc. etc.. And while I like them to be sure, I still love the basic Hershey bar and Kiss the most. The only chocolate I really don't like are the real dark/bitter ones or that cheap chocolate fake stuff you get with those hollow easter bunnies.

    The one I like is the one in my ADV. :)

    Yes, I will be trying these sfts later this week. I can do sfts and try this and try that and blend this and blend that but I think I can save some time by doing a little forensics here. Just by judging color I have narrowed it down to three juices. If there is something common to those three then bingo! :)

    But I am thinking it is a combo. Probably milk chocolate and a dark. That's what my chocolate cookie recipe has in it and I liked the chocolate combination. Haven't tested the ratios yet. Seems I like the taste of milk chocoloate (and I do!) but like the heft of the dark chocolate...perhaps.

    What are the Double Chocolates? Is that a milk/dark combo.

    If you figure out a good combination I would be interested, I never found a mix that I could ever stick with. This is what TFA says about the Double.

    Double Chocolate (Clear) Flavor
    Water soluble

    This is a rich, concentrated chocolate, like a chocolate cake!

    -Some customers have said that the Double Chocolate (Dark) is richer, but this seems to be a matter of personal taste.

    Ingredients: Natural and Artificial Flavors, Propylene Glycol, Caprylic Acid, Water

    Larger sizes available in our bulk category.

    I like Hershey bars and kisses too. Dark isn’t my fav

    Oh for sure. I see what you're saying. I definitely have a battle ahead of me to get the ratios right. For now, I just want to get the flavors right. If I can get the NET right and the chocolate component right I will feel very confident I can zero in on the rest. Ratios being one of them. I can also experiment with other stuff like malt n cocoa, etc. to fine tune it if that helps.

    Hmmmm.

    I'll start trying my sfts over the weekend. I may start with this one. I'm still curious as to what they mean by "Double".

    I think It’s supposed to mean double the flavor.

    I love chocolate, but never had a chocolate vape I like though, maybe should try some now more into DIY.
    There are a whole lotta chocolates out there. You’re going to need patience.

    I was thinking maybe a dark n milk blended together. But you could be right.

    I have the double chocolate and never got cake out of it but better chocolates came along and I haven’t used it for some time
