I'm glad I saw the writing on the wall once again and stocked up on the Aged Bourbon Cream while it was still available here.

I did also try the Purilium Sweet tobacco quite some time ago. I didn't care much for it. Even when I upped the % a bit it was still a weak flavor. Pretty sure I piffed it to a friend

I finally dumped my Honduran Raspberry. I will fess up to the too much fruit being a sloppy mixer at the time. I should have dumped it then and started over. My next mix will be a correct Honduran Raspberry.
I'll tell you what though, the raspberries I'm using are pretty potent. There is no mistaking what they are. Again, I have been surprised at how well raspberry translates in to a vape.

I purchased Capella's Fruit Circles during my last order with bcf. It's supposed to be from the Silver line. I mixed a sft at 7% and the flavor is very faint. There is no cereal note, just lime, lemon, and orange. I'm not sure if that's the way it is supposed to be, or if I need to add something else to it to get that that grainy corn note like you find in corn flakes or fruit loops.

Any tips on how to get some milky notes in there?

    My correct recipe is 1 1/2% each, Purlium Raspberry and VTA Juicy Raspberry. Gonna be a remix this evening or tomorrow.

    Tries with the others I have will be the Stixx Whiskey Cavenendish mixed with some boozy flavor you can actually taste.

    The Stixx A+ is nothing special but I'll find mixes to use it up. The Perique is not what I was expecting but is not bad at all.

    The Stixx Honduran Ligero and fruit mixes are my fav. I'll do more of those in the near future. Have the feeling I'm really going to like the Dark Fire.

    In other NET news, I'm going to do another version of my Goofy Juice using one of Brett's NETs. @PapawBrett Brett, I have your Stoved Virginia, Virginia Spiced, Louisianna Red and 84 Turkish. The recipe includes hazelnut,PB,Graham and Vanilla swirl. Which NET would you use?

    You'll find the right level of raspberry for you. Only you know what that is. Might take a few tries to dial it in.

    I did not order the Dark Fire with my first Stixx order. Completely zoned out. It was one of a few that were on the top of my list.

    The DIY-Ejuices.com GM wrote in a Chat that they have an on-going coupon code for 5% off sitewide. It's DIYCANFB. They also have end of the month specials that usually offer larger discounts. He also added this, including the smiley at the end, "We have lotsa lotsa ABC in stock". :)

    Their prices for the sizes of ABC are already quite a bit less than other sites. Take a discount off of them, too...and it does help a little with the S/H. Maybe that info will help some of you who'd like to possibly order some later. :)

    ETA: Doorbell just rang and it was my ABC being delivered. :thumbs: I'm impatient, so I paid the extra $1.50 for more speedy delivery. It's sure a lot lighter in color than the 30mL bottles that have been in my stash for a good long while! They even included a tiny sample of FW Blu-Bacco, which will be PIF since I "don't do" tobaccos.

    I have Dark Fire and more Honduran Ligero ordered. ( Think I already posted that). I think the Dark Fire is right up my alley and I'll soon see if I'm right.

    I also think the 3% fruit in my Honduran Rhuberry is perfect. The Raspberry may be different and call for less. I'll see once it steeps. I may also do one more Honduran fruit mix if I can settle on what fruits I want to use. I'm on a mission to try some different combos maybe some odd fruits.

    I have a bunch of the standard fruits lined up so maybe you can do an oddball.

    Just got done mixing a perfectly measured Honduran Raspberry. I’m ready to check out my fruits list. I suppose I should check out the box that contains my last 3 flavor orders. I don’t think there’s any new fruits in there but who knows

    They sent me the same sample. I haven’t mixed it yet.

    I am going to to try getting out my sweet tobacco and butterscotch ripple and mix a bottle. It’s been a long time since I’ve had it. I wonder if I’ll still like it.
    I remember when you liked that

    Going to be giving this new TFA Custard II version a try, only heard about it 2 weeks ago and how it was so good. Judging by the smell, it smells as good or even richer than Capella's. Will try a test at 5,7.5, and 10 percents (like a nice full bodied custard myself).

    Do you have any RY4? Or caramel? Might go well together. BTW, I'm still searching for a good RY4 (been using the last of my pre-mix) TFA just tastes mostly like butterscotch to me... I want more of a caramel/vanilla... of course I could just use those flavors instead. I do like hangsens RY1 (just a bit of caramel/vanilla but a nice tobacco with a hint of "asian" flavor)

    I need a nice mild custard (not heavy, "cloying" or too much vanilla) Might try Cap Vanilla Custard, but wondering if all I really need is a good Bavarian Creme instead. I have some (pre-made) Vapetasia Killer Kustard... exactly what I don't want (I thought it was great at first... now I can barely tolerate it.

    I’ll have to look up that custard.

    Thanks for joining us :)
