The Tiki Punch one shot from chefs is good but I’d mix it lower than the recommended percentage. I tried it there and it was too much flavor for me.
I remember some of you folks really liking the Tiki Punch. I always planned to get that if I ever needed to make an order from Chefs.

    Premium custard, Fa milk, Fa whipped cream, and tiki punch would be a good start to a chefs order.

    Someone asked about the shipping time from Chefs. I ordered on the 6th and got it today the 17th. So 11 days from order to doorstep.
    Speaking of which, my mailman drove past me while I was walking the dog and told me he signed for it. So it got sent with signature delivery. I am pretty sure that has not been the case before. Unless he has signed before and not told me

    I've considered Premium Custard after hearing about it. But I'm not the biggest custard guy. Of course, maybe Premium Custard will change my mind.

    Does anyone find WF Croissant kind of strong or harsh? I was trying a mix of Croissant at 3.5% and WF Baked Strawberry at 2%, and I nearly coughed up a lung. I rarely cough when vaping.
    You may find Liam Davey's notes on WF Croissant to be helpful. He tested it at 2%.

    SnV
    Buttery & yeast forward, very slight croissant taste behind the yeast.

    7 Day Steep
    The yeast has now decreased a little with the croissant picking up, this is still unbalanced with the yeast and butter being the forward flavours.

    14 Day Steep
    The yeast taste has now reduced to become an accent, the croissant pastry has now picked up in taste, this now tastes like a very buttery croissant with a touch of yeast. This has a buttery mouthfeel but is lacking the flakiness of a croissant.

    21 Day Steep
    No change

    28 Day Steep
    No change

    Suggested Usage
    I’d use this as an accent 0.25%-0.75%, Background 0.75%-1.25%, Main 1.25%-2%. Use with Fruit, Cream, Bakery, Custard, Spices, Nuts, Chocolate, caramel, Toffee, Butterscotch, Vanilla

    Here's an interesting thing...
    I was mail stalking and notice said delivered.
    Went outside and there was a blue Amazon truck. I asked the guy if he was delivering mail and he said yes, that they were doing catch up deliveries.

    My wife asked me if I wanted to go to a hardware store to “ look around “. I’m guessing she has something in mind she wants to get but will let me know when we are there. That and I’m sure she wants to go out for dinner.

    I finally ordered some flavors. If I use only one, do I need to steep it? And if I use just 2, do I need to steep and for how long on each? I know the answer is somewhere, but you guys are the fastest and easiest to understand!
    It depends on what kind of flavor. Fruits may be a snv (I like to give them a week), bakeries and dairy a month as a rule. Fruit + fruit (short steep). Fruit + dairy (1 month).

    Facebook. Liam participates in some of the FB DIY groups. There are several decent FB groups with some really super talented mixers who share much info + recipes.

    There are several FB DIY pages worth checking out. Here's a couple...
    Chefs Flavours - The Kitchen
    #OOTA - DIY E Liquid Mixing And vaping Community (Out Of The Ashes)

    There are many talented folks here too... Vaping Community e-liquid Calculator
    And much gets posted on their FB page.

    I'll be doing a kind of hit or miss....several drops per 50ml bottle and go up as necessary. I know to use minimal on the Fresh coffee, dark bean, as they say it's VERY strong. Doing this since I'm not making fancy liquids. Just want a nice coffee with cream and sugar flavor, a candy banana flavor and and island mango. All added to PG/VG 80/20 and NO nicotine.

    Trying the Grapefruit Lemonade and I do like it. Thank you, @Zazie . The grapefruit ends up being the top note for me which is good because I like the taste. I’m not sure if I’d like a lemon lemonade. I’m pretty sure it would be too much lemon for me and I could end up not being able to vape it again. I’m actually surprised I like this with so much lemon in it.
    Did you use the WS in yours?
