    All this talk of chocolate. I have been on a quest to find the chocolate that is in Vapewild's Straight Outta Donuts. My favorite ADV and they have now discontinued it and won't release the recipe which I think is stinky of them.

    That really sucks! I did buy some vendor juice recently, just to see what I've been missing all these years. It's good, but not any better than my DIY. So that made me feel better. I hope you manage to crack your favorite recipe, or perhaps manage to create one you like even better!

    I can’t vape vendor juice at all.It’s way too over flavored for me. I piffed what I had 2-3 years ago (I think).Atthe same time I had to drop my % in all my DIY mixes.

    I found that, too. Apparently I have been slowly dropping my flavor percentage over the years, without really paying attention! The vendor juice is still good, but I don't need that much flavor.

    Somewhere between here and there
    If it matters I get 70/30, 15mg. No menthol.

    Ok, thanks. I got a bottle ordered and kept it the same as yours. It has been a long time since I"ve used any commercial liquid besides unflavored wta.

    So weird that it was an overnight thing for me.I Was scrambling for awhile cutting the flavor % in my DIY so I could vape.I cut some of my % by 50% before I got everything fixed. I hung onto to vendor stuff for awhile in hopes I could vape it but that was a no-go for me. I no longer miss it. I like my DIY.

    A 2-week minimum steep is what I would recommend. I keep plenty stocked up so mine is steeped at least a month usually more. Can't get anything out of the smell. It smells like soggy coffee grounds. :)

    Yeah it had been almost 9 years for me without buying vendor juice! I just wanted some for nostalgia. Also, I figure having some vendor labeled bottles to put DIY juice in when traveling might not be a bad thing.

    The only time I travel anywhere is when my daughter drags me out on vacation.

    I'm hoping for a breakthrough in this next week. Had the NET breakthru now I need that chocolate breakthru next. I at least want to narrow down the possibilities.
    If not a break at least a crack should be possible

    I think you're progressing pretty quickly! I have no doubt you'll crack it! :thumb:

    I believe there are two or more chocolates in this flavor. Finding the flavors and then the ratio is going to take some work I think. There's also a mystery flavor in there that I cannot pinpoint. Some call it honey, some call it cantaloupe, some call it licorice, some graham, malt...it's all over the map. It's not prominent, but rather quite subtle. It presents itself on the exhale as the vapor slams into your tongue. It's a quick, harmless, slight sting that kind of sharpens the flavor on its way out. I've always wondered if it was malt...ever so slightly. I have a couple malts in my arsenal I'm going to play with. Ever drink a chocolate malt that was too malty? It kind of stings the mouth and throat (uncomfortably, I might add). It's a similar sting but much, much more subtle. Just enough to say hello and goodbye to my taste buds as it leaves my mouth. But for now I just want to get the chocolate right. One thing at a time.

    I’m still stuck on my very first juice, fresh menthol from MFS. It’s 80 pg, 12 mg and I chain vape it in the mornings with coffee just like I did my menthol cigarettes. BUT it’s the only commercial juice I like.

    My “taster” is still messed up from 45 years of smoking so I raise all my DIY percentages a little. I use very little sweetener if any.

    I sure wish I could find that menthol recipe but I really cannot tell what I’m tasting. I haven’t done any SFT yet, not sure it’s worth it with my taste issues.
