    Looks like I should pay more attention to what I already have.As in actually look at my lists. I have to take FA Cookie off my wisklist cause I just found I already have it. Haven't even listed most of my new flavors as I need a place to put them. I guess another case is in order.

    I’m still not super happy with my cranberry recipe. I’m not sure what it’s missing.

    10% cranberry Tfa
    3% cactus inw
    1% Fuji

    Fran, I was starting to update my flavor list and found a few that I ordered twice by accident. It’s easy to forget what you have when I don’t keep my list updated.

    I am not sure what you were going for so my suggestions might be very off base. 10% TFA Cranberry is too high for me. Cactus tastes off to me and the highest I go with it is .25%. I have never used Fuji (a collective gasp just went up :D.) I think you need some sweetener as TFA Cranberry is very tart.

    How about this?
    Apple, Fuji (FA) 4%
    Cactus (INW) .25% (or does it even need it?)
    Cranberry (TPA) 7%
    Sweetener of your choice .5 to 1%

    FA Fuji is pretty sweet and strong.

    My absolute favorite juice with TFA Cranberry is the Cranberry Pomegranate Champagne Sparkler that is based on Wodde's Red Element on ATF. I made some small changes to his recipe and it is one of my favorite vapes right now.

    Red Element

    Mine:
    Cranberry (TPA) 3%
    Lemon Sicily (FA) 1%
    Lemonade (LA) 2%
    Lime Tahity (Cold Pressed) (FA) 1%
    Pink Champagne (FW) 2%
    Pomegranate (FA) .75%
    Pomegranate (TPA) 4%
    SugarDaddy Sweetener .50%
    WS-23 30% .50%

    I have to agree with PJ on this. INW cactus gets funky above .5 and its just there for wetness correct? Dragonfruit might work better in this situation without clashing so much if it needs any wetness at all

    I have Fuji but haven't tried it out yet. Maybe I will make up my suggestion (which actually came from ELR) and see how it tastes. That would qualify me to give better advice. :D

    It will quickly become a go to flavor even if its not an apple vape. Try it at 1%

    Many apple recipes have a hidden pear you can't taste. Usually TFA 1%.

    @hittman I personally would not take the Fuji over 2% and might add 2% of a double apple. I always kiss apple with a pear and cactus .5%.
    I went back and looked and that is high for FA fuji. I have vaped it at 3% stand alone but in a mix .5-2% depending on what you are after

    The plain TFA Cheesecake you have is a bitter flavor.(All plain Cheesecake flavors are bitter,I believe) It can be used it lessen sweetness in your mix. What you want to use is just the TFA Cheese/Graham in your mix. I would remove the Cheesecake and use 6% TFA Cheesecake/Graham. If you don't have it you should get the TFA Graham Cracker Clear next time you order. There nothing wrong with the TFA Cheesecake/Graham flavors. I use them quite often and Cap also.
    Pour that tfa cheesecake out. One of the worst flavors ever made. Straight up sour milk.
    Maybe bump up the cheesecake graham crust to 4-5% and drop the sweet cream to .5-1%. I personally would drop the vanilla swirl and the sweetener for a cheesecake. Bavarian cream is pretty good vanilla cream but I would use it at 2% as you are making cheesecake and not custard. This will need a good steep to settle down. Cheesecakes take time for all the funky notes to disappear. I would say 2 weeks min

    I have 2 Cheesecakes (VZ conc & TFA), 2 New York Cheesecakes (Cap & Purilum), and Graham Cracker (Cap). And, now I need to buy TFA Cheesecake Graham Crust too?

    HaHa. I do 90% of my cheesecake recipes with either TFA CCGC or Cap NY CC. The PUR is good. I just havent had time to work it in much. I would use the regular TFA to keep animals away. (can you tell I dont like it)

    Been vaping 5 years now but recently got a bottle of juice from my brother in 0mg nic. I want to make it 12mg in a 30ml quantity. I have bought 72mg nicotine. Am I right in saying if I extract 25mls of the liquid and add 5ml of the nicotine it’ll achieve the 12mg target? My nicotine is 100%VG and the liquid is 60VG/40PG.

    It’s funny how everyone says the cranberry is tart. I’m not picking up on that much. I’m running it in an aero tank with the quad ni80 coil. Maybe I should try it in a different tank. I started at 8% cranberry but increased it to ten because I wasn’t getting the tartness.

    Yes for the mg. 33.33PG/66.66VG
    EjuiceMeUp has a tool for stuff like this. EJuiceCalculator might and that's what I use for recipes but EJMU's is easy.

    Well I successfully bought nothing but everything else was a fail, I just sat around ineptly trying to do stuff for the most part, I did figure out why my hands hurt and it's one of my meds, yay! Well yay that I am probably not dying, etc., (maybe) but this med is the only one in its class that is even covered at the moment.

    Still calling my pdoc at the crack of "open" tomorrow because he HAS to fix this. Somehow. Etc.

    No you don't have to unless you want to try it too.
