    Maybe the perfume steeps out. I find that it does with some vape Train fruits. Then again, it might just be part of the charm. :D I don't like florals or perfumy flavors myself but some do, apparently.

    I hadn’t really thought about it until you mentioned it but I did let it steep for a couple weeks on the sft.

    I got the VT Juicy Raspberry tester done. Used Hitt's suggestion of 6%. It doesn't smell perfumy to me.

    Have hopes of getting @ceeceeisme 's Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble mixed today. I'll have to sub for the shortcake.
    What did you plan to use in its place? A cookie or a biscuit?

    :)

    I've decided to do half INW Biscuit and half FA Cookie.
    LOL...Good choice.....I had looked on a couple of sites for the shortbread but only found it in cookies. And I don't think it was INW. Must have to get it straight from INW themselves.

    Well I finally got the Crumble mixed. I don't have the INW cheesecake either and no plans to get any. I have 3 different cheesecakes/graham that I like so I'm happy. I used my Cap NY Cheesecake.I also have rf Cheesecake and rf graham but never used them..

    I feel like I accomplished something today....LOL Now maybe I can work on the 2 recipe ideas I have started but never finished.

    I'm liking FE lychee, Cap is syrupy but settles into a lighter feel after 3w or so but doesn't have much flavor. Is a very nice light flavor though after the steep. The FE is pretty good within a few days.
    Great to know considering it’s my only lychee flavor. I’ll have to try it soon. Any simple mix suggestions as a leading role? Looking for 3-5 day S&V’s atm but any appreciated.

    You'll have to use lighter flavors at low % if you want the lychee to shine. For me it is more a light floral additive, I haven't attempted a lychee forward mix. Pear, lemon, plum, honeysuckle come to mind off the top of my head.

    Maybe...all %
    FE lychee 2
    TFA honeysuckle 3
    FA vienna cream 1.25
    INW pitaya df .75
    FE lemon 1.75
    INW vanilla shisha .5 (maybe)

    Plans for today folks? I got my mix done. Going to call it Peanut Butter tobacco 2 for lack of a better name.

    Sounds tasty! Looking forward to trying several baccy blends mid October when they’ll be steeped, yours included.

    This’ll be the main one I mix today. This one was inspired by the 2017 Recipe of The Year Winner, Lech De Coco by Hashslingingslashur. Found it on Reddit but Idk in which contest it was referring to and I haven’t looked it up. Original recipe hasn’t any pistachio and 50% less of all flavors. Preferred sweetener is optional, of course. Original is quite tasty, if you like coconut vapes, though on the lighter side as I suspect it wasn’t specifically written for sub ohm vaping. It’s a nice ADV but I wanted this one to have a bit more pizzazz:p

    IMO, mixed as original, it isn’t too sweet without the addition of a sweetener.

    Pistachio Coconut Milk

    3.00% Bavarian Cream (TPA)
    2.00% Cheesecake (Graham Crust) (TPA)
    1.50% Coconut (FA)
    1.00% Cream Fresh (FA)
    1.00% Meringue (FA)
    2.00% Pistachio (FA)
    0.50% Super Sweet (CAP)
    3.50% Sweet Coconut (Flavorah)

    Flavor total: 14.5%

    Hashslingingslashur's notes on his Lech De Coco:

    *Sweet, thick coconut milk*

    I had given up on coconut vapes a long time ago. I enjoyed using FA coconut but I never was able to get a good mix that featured coconut. I cannot stand TPA's coconuts so I never wasted my time with those. I recently ordered a 5ml of FLV sweet coconut and fell in love, thus spawned this recipe. Here's some notes:.

    This is another recipe that kind of just built itself, the flavors just make sense and the result is great. Shake and vape ADV for me.

    I saw a post about someone saying they get a coconut taste from graham crust. I'm not sure I get it too but the bottle does smell a bit like coconut. I decided to throw it into this recipe and it just works.

    **FLV Sweet Coconut** a stellar flavor. Before this I couldn't make a coconut vape that I found enjoyable. I mixed it at 2% solo and it tastes like coconut milk, it's just creamy and delightful coconut. Reminds me of coco lopez. I threw some other things in here just to help it become even more decadent.

    **FA coco** a nice coconut that's light and reminds me of coconut flakes, threw it in to backup the FLV

    **FA Cream Fresh** adds some light cream to the body of the milk. Really fits here nicely, I tried to use Holy Vanilla or Vanilla Swirl here but this works better imo.

    **TPA Bavarian Cream** so I tried this with a couple ingredients like FLV vanilla custard (1%) and CAP VBIC (1%) but Bavarian cream is the answer. Its got a light brown sugar or what some describe as maple nuance which I'm attributing to the Cyclotene in it. A bit of vanilla from the BC also just shines here. Works very well with the coconut to thicken up the milk and compliment it so perfectly.

    **FA meringue** An additive, this recipe doesn't need help being sweet but meringue definitely helps this come across as thick sweet as .... coconut milk.

    **TFA cheesecake graham** kind of an additive, any higher and it would take away from the milk but its a perfect counterpart for everything else going on. Contributes to the body of the recipe, to me its like 50/50 on the graham vs cheesecake.

    I mix this at 65% VG feel free to go up to 75%, shake and vape is awesome and it just gets better over the first week.

    If you want it sweeter I recommend erythritol (0.5%) but you can use your favorite sweetener or a drop of TFA marshmallow per 30ml helps sweeten things up too.

    The coconut recipe looks good but I can't vape coconut,just eat it. Hope you enjoy the tobacco blends.
