Those of you with the green banana flavor I am curious to hear your thoughts. I don't know if you're familiar with plantains but they are those green bananas that are more on the savory side used in many Spanish styled dishes (mofongo is my favorite). Ruthless Vapors use to have a Banana Chips flavored eliquid when I first started vaping that was really good. I think I was the only person buying it and it was soon discontinued. You could even taste the salt, which I think I might have learned how to do in an eliquid recently.

Charlie Noble released the recipe for a popular peanut butter flavored eliquid they discontinued and the recipe calls for one drop of saline solution per 10ml of mix. They claim it gives PB flavors more of an authentic flavor. I don't know if I could do it. lol I wonder if that's how Ruthless Vapors got the salty note in their banana chips flavored eliquid.

Would that even be safe? I mean Charlie Noble must have discontinued it for a reason.o_O
In the pharmacy area in Walmart they have a product called wound care. It is sterile .9 saline. I have some and use it in my base mix. Just put some into a 10-15 ml bottle for use while mixing. It will last forever. I make a solution of 9 parts dw with 1 part saline. Then i use 1-2 drops per 10 ml of that in my base mix . You dont taste that small amount but it does help my mix to last longer .

:)

Ps its pure with no preservatives. And i have heard some mix it up to 20% dw to help thin vg to allow vg easier to work with since its so thick. Most dont use that much saline. 1% may be enough.

Patience not being my strong suit....I went ahead and tried a little of the steeped custard I added MB butter my biscuit to. I know bakery needs a steep, but snv it tastes like those danish butter cookies that come in a round tin, or shortbread cookies. I’m not getting much sweet, and definitely a background of butter, but a little early to tell how it’ll finish out. Maybe a hint of coconut? Has potential for sure!

    Coconut is a no no for me.

    You’d have to taste it. Not coconut like almond joy... it’s that background flavor in those tinned cookies. Coconut is the closest descriptor I can pull up
    Either way it won’t replace my INW Biscuit.

    Not to say it wouldn’t have another use though.
    Maybe once it steeps I’ll be able to put my finger on it. It’s more European biscuit than American cookie, almost with a cereal vibe to it.
    I should probably just send you a little so you can figure it out. High allergy season here isn’t helping on top of my lack of descriptive abilities. I’m liking its possibilities right now.

    Is ok. I can’t describe worth crap myself.

    Good morning random folks :)Have you any plans today?

    My package of raspberry yoghurt ingredients is due to arrive today on the second attempt. I'll get that mixed tonight. Bag of lemon flavors should get here tomorrow, also the second attempt.
