The Candy Cane is just a peppermint flavor.It was too long ago for me to remember exactly how sweet it was.The LB White chocolate/Peppermint is extremely sweet.I'd recommend mixing TFA White Chocolate with drops of peppermint to taste. It's the less sweet option.
Sounds good. TFA White Chocolate is in my cart.

    Got a bit tired of vaping the cooling agent...LOL. So I dug out a Blue Cheesecake I mixed awhile back (I'm not real creative with names). If I like it after vaping for awhile,I'll post the recipe. It's a bit different than my usual cheesecake mixes in that it includes some INW Biscuit and even a tad of Marshmallow.

    Since I've been liking the orange flavors lately, I have a 30ml of FW Natural Blood orange on my future order.
    My favorite all around orange. Okay at first at high percentage but shines for me at 6-8 weeks. In a mix for a long steep 3-4%, shorter steep 4-6%. Great with in a floral mix but a flavor easy to overwhelm on it's own. Needs a blood orange or a tangerine if you are mixing with stronger flavors.

    Comparing FW blood orange (natural) to FW orange (natural): the blood orange is deeper, slightly sweeter, and stronger with a sharper note. As a stand alone it tastes like a ripe orange paired with an over ripe red grapefruit. Orange natural has a beautiful orange fresh flesh taste. If all I want is a good plain orange I mix
    FW blood orange 2%
    FW orange 3%
    FA royal orange 1% or Cap juicy orange 1.5%
    Sometimes I add a drop of sweetener or a touch of cream or meringue.

    Sometimes I wish I could vape a fruit mix or a cream and fruit but that's a no go for me. Getting to like more of a fruit taste in my mixes though.
    Add 1% meringue rather than cream or marshmallow. Softens the acidic notes and isn't too sweet. One those don't notice it when you use but might miss it if you didn't. Normally I enjoy the acidic notes but sometimes like it smoother .

    Hey all need some help. Found this recipe few weeks back for a tropical e juice. I’ve been testing it since 5-13 and I’m just not getting anything tropical about it. :( Nothing stands out to me. Any ideas on how I can save this?

    I did get a Inerwa Pineapple since I made this. Not sure if that could help. Thanks

    I have to justify this with, I hate coconut, so that recipe does not sound good to me at all. What does it taste like?

    TFA Mango is one of the few fruit tasters I dumped, also one of the few I mixed up 15ml without tasting because I love mangoes. It did not taste at all like mango to me.

    I don't know about CAP but I thought pineapple tended to be strong. (I would bet Inawera's is and start at 2% with it). Maybe 20% flavoring is an issue of more is less. You could try diluting it with unflavored 25%-50%.
    2-3%
    5-7.5%
    2.5-3.75%
    Seems much better to my tastes even with the coconut (I would only want that way in the background, but I know coconut people love to push it to the front).

    For myself the flavor percentages are too high, especially the sweetener. Cap gp already has sweetener, I use it in a mix 4-6% depending how forward I want it.

    Mixed up 30mls of the Key Lie Pie just as it is.
    It's really nice as a shake and vape - I'll keep using it to see how it changes (if it even does) and to see if I need to add anything to it.
    Will mix up another bottle to set back for some time.

    I hate coconut in a vape but those flavor percentages are too high.

    That's a good question. I haven't had the fruit, or the concentrate(s) either. I would also be interested how they compare.:)
    The only two I have are FA and FW. The FA taste almost like a tangerine to me. The FW taste like a cross between a navel orange and a grapefruit. It has a bite at the end but in a good way. Mixes well with Cap sweet tangerine
