Should be tasty.
I just ran out again.
maybe. I’m so far thinking I may have to ditch the vt RaspberryShould be tasty.
I just ran out again.
Right now I’m not too impressed with taste. It is mixed with the PUR that I know is good.
BTW What do you think of the FW Raspberry?
Is there a "general" rule of thumb for steep time on diy mixes. I usually steep for 3 weeks, just wondering what is best.
Like Fran says.
In general, fruits run to snv. Creams and tobaccos need time, 3 weeks may be enough, but some tobaccos take lots longer.
You know I’m really in the diy zone when I’m disappointed that I remembered an old friend is stopping by this evening so I may not get to mix. Sigh, weekends are never long enough
Don't forget the cheesecakes. I give mine 4 weeks without fail. No need to cheat as I have a few of them mixed and readyLike Fran says.

I also agree that some baccys should be steeped longer.
I didn’t see the VTA sweet cream there which is why I ordered from 2 places. But I do thank you for the suggestion

And aren’t custards some of the longest steepers?
Thanks, I'm still learning!Like Fran says.

Me too. Keeps it interesting
I don't use a lot of raspberry flavors but I have several. TFA Raspberry Sweet, which I know you wouldn't like, works well in lemonades. I like FA Raspberry with grapefruit flavors and don't get a floral note from it at 2%. At least to my tastes, it is a pretty natural ripe raspberry. INW Malina is the strongest and a little goes a long way. VTA Shisha Raspberry is thick and jammy but not candy sweet - there is a tartness to it. I know, not much help. I really only use raspberry flavors as accents.
When I post a recipe, I usually use the names that E L R uses. Sometimes BCF drops the flowery descriptive names like Mild Winter which is just peppermint. BCF is the only US vendor for VT flavors if I am not mistaken which makes them best for me. I occasionally order from Chefs if they are running a 30% off sale and I need something I can't get here or want to take advantage of their lower prices on rebranded FA flavors (Flavour Creative.)
Have fun!
I'm liking it but I don't want to speak for you. It's a strong flavor. That may translate into sweet for you but I'm thinking because I go half with FA's Raspberry it might take some of the starch out of it.
