I've looked at that thread and have been afraid to join in. I buy plenty of stuff already. I'm supposed to be on a spending freeze this month besides flavors. I've got tuition coming up for my oldest and a few other things going on.
It’s as much fun seeing others get shinies as it is buying them myself. Plus, it’s a fun crew, much like here

    Enjoying my Irish Whiskey I dug out today. I did already post the recipe way back on page 48. I have one mix to do,a couple of my first SFT's to try for a final time and I have to finish trying the few newly steeped stuffs I have left.

    That’s kind of anti enabling isn’t it? Do you have a suggestion on percentages. I decided to leave off the Flv horchata. I just couldn’t bring myself to pay 8.49 for a small bottle.

    I just don't see a Blue Raspberry with great reviews. Therefore you might be better off mixing the separate flavors. Which ones you use would determine percentage.

    Yep,some of the FLV stuff is quite pricy.

    TY for noting the page :wub:. Someday when I have nothing to do, I’m going to start on page one and go through all the recipes again.

    Nice job enabling! I would feel better about it if I had a coupon code. I'll just have to see how long I make it.
    VU6 is always worth 6% off. If you are a supporting member you can pm Roundhouse asking for a 12% off code.

    The VTA Botanical Gin and the VTA Tonic are very, very good. Flavor notes to follow soon. I am vaping my Gin Fizz now. I followed a recipe from a mixer in the UK who added meringue for body. I didn't think meringue in a Gin & Tonic mix was quite right but mixed it the way she wrote it anyway. I don't like the meringue, but I do like the mix. I made two 10ml testers of Gin Fizz mixes, both without meringue but with different fizzy elements.

    The VTA Botanical Gin is miles and miles better than the FA Gin. The juniper is lighter, the flavor is clean and boozy. This is a winner with a lot of potentials - Gin and Cranberry, a French 75, and more.



    I am SO sorry. There was a code for 25% off when I ordered for Chefs Fest and another one was announced today for Vape Fest. There is a day in, day out coupon code for members of the Chefs Flavours FB group that gets you 10% off.

    Dang enabler! I went ahead and ordered the VTA Botanical Gin and Tonic (and a bunch of other stuff) taking advantage of the coupon. I suspect it will arrive while I'm away, a present to look forward to when we pickup our mail at the PO.

    Would you share the recipes? They sound very good. :nun:

    I'm lucky that I really think I've gotten to the point where I don't need or want a bunch more stuff.

    Famous last words. Have you tried any of the LB flavors? I saw a couple recipes on elr that used them.

    I’m not a supporting member. I hardly ever go over there.

    If you like a custardy rich vanilla ice cream theirs is one of the best. The eggnog is good but very light on the nutmeg, just a plain eggnog.

    I will happily share the recipes once I have nailed them down. The VTA Botanical Gin is impressive. The Tonic tastes like tonic water. I am amazed! I am trying the second Gin Fizz now and it is, to my taste, much better without the meringue. After I try the third one, I will know which direction to take it.

    If you want a simple Gin & Tonic, 4% VTA Botanical Gin, 3% VTA Tonic, .5% Lime (I used FA Lime Tahity - Cold-Pressed - the VTA Persian Lime would be great,) and .5 to 1% WS-23 or Koolada.

    Upon digesting the into from Stixx.....I'm still going to steep these. I'll do the A1 for one week and try the other two at 2 weeks probably.
    I have been out all day today, and loaded my travel Berzerker (single coil MTL tank) with the Stixx Mixx Whiskey Cavendish. I puffed on that all day.

    It wasn't the best of tests; the coil and wick had previous tobacco through them. However, I did get some flavor out of it (compared to 2ish days ago... currently day 6ish). I am beginning to question my build on my testing Atty.

    Yes. Maybe Bull City will pick them up. Well worth it if someone wants to mix with a gin flavor.
    I would encourage you, to share your thoughts and experience with BCF, and suggest they add them to their VTA line-up (if they can). I would be a solid commitment for 30mL (to start) just based on your preliminary findings! They can have my money; or I can send it overseas.:D

    once again; thanks for sharing!:thumbs:

    OK,I gave in and ordered 30ml each of the Gin and Tonic. I also got 2 flavors that had been in my BullCity cart. They were actually cheaper at Chefs. They didn't have the other 3. I did use the coupon code.
