Random DIY mixing and More

Chocolate is new for me. Do you have a recommendation for % for the white chocolate and raspberry? Is it snv or steep for???

I haven't used white chocolate. What brand is it?
I started with 2% tasters to get an idea of their flavor and strength.
I have and the starting percentages I use:
INW Chocolate Cream 2%
TFA Double Chocolate Clear 4%
FA Chocolate 3%

My chocolate raspberry is all Inawera 3% Raspberry and 2% Chocolate Cream.
Orange tootsie uses 4% TFA Double Chocolate (clear) and 1% Chocolate Cream. That one took a lot of tweaking.
Andies Candies was right on the first try. It's 3% of the TFA.
Peppermint Patty taster was 3% FA Chocolate, but Andies Candies won so it never got tweaked.

I think before I decided chocolate raspberry was a hit I tried the trick of adding a little raspberry to the strawberry. I'm not sure if I've tasted that since I mixed 30ml of the chocolate raspberry.
Just did. I don't know what it is, the strawberry I have (TFA, not ripe) doesn't seem to work with chocolate. It wants to be good I just can't get it there.

I think chocolate does good with some steeping. Like a tobacco or coffee.

I have it. Rather sweet.

My notes from sft:

FLAVOUR ART

• Citrus Mix (Sicilian Mix)

A non-sweet citrus mix with grapefruit being the predominant flavor. The primary flavor is tart, freshly squeezed grapefruit. This is a mix of grapefruit, lemon, orange, and mandarin, heavy on the tart grapefruit. This is another one that is good for brightening up other citrus flavors without adding sweetness. Use at 1.5 to 2% in a mix.

VT white chocolate. I may mix a small bottle with raspberry and let it chill for a while. TY for the guidance. It gives me an idea of where to start

I should have ordered a regular chocolate too. I’m thinking that would be good with the fig. Would need to add a brighter fruit with it . Hmmmmm

Just thinking of the real tastes white might take less aging. It seems smoother in real life.

Guess I'd better do a tester.

TFA Pepperment .5%
TFA Vanilla Swirl 1%
TFA Bittersweet Chocolate 1.5%
TFA Fresh Cream 1%
TFA Double Chocolate 1.5%

Trying my first Pink Guava mix and the .75% FA Lime Tahiti is way too strong in it. It's calling for a remix though. Interesting taste buried under the lime I think

 

[NolaMel]

I haven’t tried the pink guava yet. I’m interested to see how it turns out for you

I got new coffees written. Was going to make them but found I have to run to the store to get vinegar for pickles. I hate to ask for 10% on a few dollars but it will be my first chance to use a senior discount at this store.
Mixing may not get done until after work tonight.

With the FA Cappuccino I'm going to try a caramel cappuccino to go against the TFA CaraCap.
Espresso is getting a mocha treatment.

Have you tried the Amber mixes yet?
Curious if you think it's sweet since it is a sap flavor. The way everyone seems to taste it different I wonder which way you'll go. I like spicy, I get spice from it.

I am vaping this one in my Asmodus Zesthia today and it is very, very nice. The balance of flavors is good and I think my decision to increase the lemon and change it to FE Lemon was the right one.

Sweet Summer Chilled by TheExiledTheory on ELR

• Cactus (INAWERA) .25%
• Honeydew Melon (JF) 2%
• Kiwi (FA) 4%
• Lemon Juicy (JF) .15% (I thought it needed more lemon so used 1% FE Lemon)
• Pear (FA) .50%
• WS-23 .75%

I'll have to remix. Too much lime.

I only have a tester with Plum that I haven't tried yet. I have big doubts about liking it.

Not having a great day trying older mixed stuff. Gotta pay more attention to the sweet factor. Sucks.

I need to do testers on FA Pom,TFA Pom and TFA Kiwi. What % should I use? FA Kiwi too.

 

[DebbieNY]

Ok, NR info is out and I need to start a cart for tomorrow.

What Purilum flavors (and/or other brands' flavors) do I *need* to get from there (that are hard to find elsewhere) that I positively need in my stash? I may go for more nic/PG/VG, too.

Thanks I really need to find what's coming across so sweet to me.

Thanks, @dc99 ! In my excitement, I forgot to save an edit to my post with the code, because I was perusing the Purilum thread.
