In looking at notes on ELR, INW’s sounds weak in flavor. Has anyone used it? The lack of depth to the flavor was why I was thinking of adding pink panther. I’ve only used the cherries by the drop to add to a tank
Might look at the reddit notes too Mel. For some flavors reddit has given me more info them ELR. Elr does have a cherry flavor thread I think, could try and find it.

The MF white cherry is supposedly the best cherry available. Expensive but you only use 1 drop per 30ml of some of these flavors.

Think I'm going to dump my 2ml RF VG stand alones and remake at 10ml/12%.
Smores, Rocky Road and Coffee Cake are good at 10% so 12% should be vapable. That way I can measure 1% increases.

Cherry continues to be weak at 15%. Mango is weak-ish at 15%. I'm not sure what's up with Boston Cream Pie, it smelled right at 5%, never was strong but smells less right at 15% like I've hit a more is less issue.

How long do you steep these flavors? I only had good luck with 1 RF and it took a good 3-4 weeks to mature @ 15%

Almost 4 weeks since I started, probably a couple weeks for the last addition.
I was mainly going for a rough starting rate, they were only 2ml and drops for the additions. A 5% change was .1ml.

    Any Sunday plans,folks? I dragged out 4-5 mixes last night to try, I don't hold much hope for a couple of them but hopefully there's a winner in there or at least something I can tweak. Still haven't got back to the several testers I still have.

    Just one mix to do which I have done already.

    I have no clean 10ml testers available so I guess I'm having a bottle washing session today :(

    I'm so lazy - I have a plastic tote I throw my empty bottles in and when I run out I do a big wash day. I ordered 50 more of the 10ml size so I can prolong those wash days longer and longer :lol:

    Looking for new recipes or just recipes ideas of the not too sweet variety. Something with a cheesecake or tobacco base is always good. Boozy,nutty,chocolate,cereal,all good. Fruit is good as well as long as it has a base flavor. I need a jumpstart.......my thinker is broken.

    Mixed your Nutty Stixx recipe this morning.

    I mixed up another bottle of that too but I'm going to let it steep longer this time. Not that it wasn't good after a week, I just think it might be better after 2 or 3 weeks.

    I'm still waiting for the other Stixx Mixx flavors I ordered - they should be here Monday or Tuesday. Also, I was reading somewhere that all Stixx Mixx are not N.E.T.'s. Some are extracts.

    I've got the A+ and I have the Whisky Cavendish, Butter Rum Cavendish and Canadian Virginian on the way. I'm really hoping the Canadian Virginian actually has that Canadian cigarette taste.

    After that last mix I did with the A+ and butterscotch I'm starting to think the Stixx Mixx N.E.T.'s are better as a one-shot type flavor. Complex enough to be used alone.

    The A+ and Aged Burley are good solo. But then again so are the Hangsen tobaccos and they're cheaper. I'm so far not impressed with the Stixx Whiskey Cavendish.

    Ah yes good old bottle wash day. I really try to stay on top of mine before the thin layer of baked on crud of the last film of eliquid emerges.... I am not always successful. LOL.

    Fortunately, I seem to have no problems getting labels off, it's more like keeping labels ON. Masking tape and a really new black sharpie seems to be doing the trick the MOST so far....

    Mixed up 30ml of this today... :D

    Cheesecake Wheel Slice 1 - Caramel Toffee Swirl (WIP)
    New York Cheesecake (PUR) 4%
    Cheesecake Graham (PUR) 2%
    Toffee Ice Cream (VTA) 1.75%
    Italian Cream (Hangsen) 1.5%
    Caramel Toffee (Hangsen) 1.25%
    Vanilla Ice Cream (LB) .5%
    Biscuit (INW) 0.5%

    It will likely need some tweaks, but it's a start... :cool:
