Work. And vape. The 3rd rendering of berries and cream is really good. Really really good. All I did was bump the forest fruit up a percent from 3 to 4. Can tell a slight difference but all 3 versions are niiiiceeee. I'd buy this if it were a commercial juice.

    on the note about posting recipes...they are more of a guideline....
    so like ok here's what works for me, now personally I know I use higher % than most do, but they can also readjust the % to meet their needs, I just worked out the backbone of the flavors together....
    so typically I shoot for 12% flavoring so anyone can take the recipe that I posted and then cut that in half for their preferred 6% total flavoring.

    I know for myself most all recipes I have to tone down since I like a hint of flavoring. I have been buying commercial eliquid for years at 18mg/ml and cutting it down to 3 mg/ml just to dilute the flavor to my taste. I made a few recipes as written and diluted them down to my taste. I tend to feel like everyone looks at % or recipes as a guide and adjusts to their own taste. The only thing I experienced was higher % of a flavor drastically changing how it taste and not for the better.

    I have some recipes with less than 5% flavor that are good to me.

    Well, to play a broken record, everyone's tastes are different. A lot of the percentages seemed high to me but may not to someone who's tastebuds are different. I wouldn't go putting that in the blog or anything but if he likes them that high then good for him.
    Yes... I do tend to mix solo flavors high (it's very easy for me to dilute them later because I keep unflavored base handy... very hard to increase % by adding drops) In no way would I use these % in a recipe (most likely I would use half as much or even less) Also, yes... my taste buds are not doing well (hate to admit it but I've slipped... smoking some again)

    It seemed clear, to me anyway, that the list he posted was his own findings, based on the sfts he did, and that it would make mixing, for him, much easier. Maybe it would even help some other people, too.

    So, I don't understand, in this case anyway...why some of the posts about it have been made. It's honestly surprised me.
    Thank you so much. I can't believe all the assumptions made and disrespectful comments (I guess I will never live down my old "best flavors list") I have actually done 49 SFTs (all 10 ml)... 50 if you count LB sweetener (didn't add that because I found out it's just EM... not very useful and for me it just mutes other flavors)

    As soon as I receive the case I'll message HD. I've already checked my cc and they haven't issued a refund yet. The case should be here today but I sure ain't counting on it.

    If I my be so bold to suggest . . . Don't Do Nothin' . . . until the case is in your hands . . . ;)

    Also it usually takes 24hours to 3 days for any refund/credit to be applied to a CC/Debit card . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    I do a LOT of diluting of commercially produced eliquid myself. For the same reasons ............too strong as sold but great at lower values. :thumb:

    I just can’t see anyone mixing Mascarpone at 2%. Not even sft,
