I always say I'm envious of you people who have these versatile palettes who can vape a wide variety of flavors. Well, maybe you can vape a wide variety because you get tired of them quickly and need to move on to something else. Maybe I'm the lucky one who has one awesome flavor that I love with every puff and never get tired of. :)

    Something you love and will never tire of is a clear winner.

    You are the lucky one. I wish I could stick with one or two recipes. I have 12 mods and tanks in rotation and a few pods. It would be much simpler if I could just mix big batches of a couple of recipes.

    It's not really my thing but it is good enough for a stand alone IMO. It's not tart at all, just not much sweetness. You could add 1% INW Rhubarb for tartness. If you don't have it you should get it if you like tart.

    Thank you! I will order some.

    I just want to let you folks know that I very much appreciate it when you tell me you like a recipe or recipes of mine. It makes me happy to know all my years of mixing are of benefit to others.

    I have many recipes in my file that are labeled 'from FranC on ECF'. There's cheesecakes, cookies, and boozy to name a few - plus oddities like Basil Rhubarb which has a note - where does she come up with these? I haven't tried them all yet (including basil rhubarb!) but I saved them because they sounded interesting.

    Often times you come up with things I wouldn't have thought to try (like whiskey haze) or you enable me to add a new flavor or two to my wish list and try something new.

    So, a big thank you to you for sharing your recipes!!

    Once you get to mixing more there are other flavors that bring tartness. The INW Rhubarb is my #1 favorite for tart. It's also very good with Strawberries.

    I was looking at a recipe just now that uses FLV Cream. I checked the prices on a 30mL, and bullcity has it for $10.20 for 30mL. FA Fresh Cream is $5.55 per 30mL. I know that FLV is more concentrated than FA, but is almost double the price worth it?
    Not to me. I use Fa Fresh Cream a lot.

    I'm thinking FA cream would work well in coffee recipes. Not that I have (yet) found the right coffee flavor for me. I've tried about 7 over the years, but I'm still looking for the 'one'. Do you have a good coffee recipe Fran?

    Lots of good ideas from many peeps here. It’s appreciated.

    I always thought it was a negative but for some reason your post made me realize there are benefits to having a one flavor rotation.

    That’s a trick question for me.Coffees used to be my favorite thing. Unfortunately I overdid it and I haven’t been able to vape any coffee in years. That rather upset me and I tossed some/most of my recipes. IDK what I have left but I will look tomorrow. I also used to extract my own coffee flavor and the process is in Zazie’s blog (not sure about any recipes in the blog) Promise to look tomorrow.

    Well, I knew I couldn’t leave my Honduran Melon recipe alone. I was perfectly happy with it the way it was but I decided to tweak it some more. Same ingredients but less of the melon component. Just curious. So I decided I would scratch that itch and in a couple weeks I’ll know.

    I did my own coffee extracts for a little while and they were better than any commercial artificial coffee flavors I have tried. Then I got scared of all the oils that are contained in them when extracted. I'll have to look at Zazie's blog and see how she does it. I was just doing a PG extraction.
