I personally can’t answer that one yet, but before too long I should be able to considering how many I have. INW’s Yes, We Cheesecake is nice though. I have different ones steeping atm but it’ll be a bit. I can say that I probably go against the grain as I’m not impressed with CAP’s NY CC. I’m curious to what others say here.


I can say that when I first used Cap's NY CC, I did not like it.......so most of my bottle remains un-used. I am willing now to revisit it and try again with one of Fran's recipes, just don't know which one yet. But atm, I can say I love the PUR Cheescakes,(both NY and Graham) but not for the cheesecake flavor......lol. AT 4%(NY) and 3%(Graham) it makes the smoothest creamiest base for other flavors to be added to(and that includes other creams if you want their flavorings) and there is no cheesecake taste at these %. I am currently waiting for INW Yes, we cheesecake to arrive from my express order so I can mix up a batch.....

I bought some of the WF Hazelnuts & Cream that several of you mentioned as being really good. I agree, after vaping about 10mL so far, of what I made 3 days ago.

I also think it's probably the "base" in Lightning Vapes' "Strawberry Stratus" eliquid that they sell. For $1 as an add-on item, I went ahead and got some when I ordered batteries recently. Was the first ready-made eliquid I've bought in more than 2 years, so thought what the heck...I'd give it a try.

I'd vaped about 5-6mL of it when I'd gotten it about a month or so ago. Immediately, the taste of it came to mind as soon as I tried the Hazelnuts & Cream. It has that same distinctive taste, but with Strawberry added to it.
Oh, wow! I had a bottle of hazelnut and cream mixed. Put a few drops of strawberry in the tank with it. Very good as a two flavor mix. Y’all can probably take it over the top, but it’s pretty good as is. Thanks for the idea!!!

You're welcome for the idea.

I just put a couple drops of the Strawberry Stratus on my finger and tasted it again, since it's been awhile since I vaped it. There's a noticeable "bite" to it, to me, almost as if there's some ethyl alcohol in the Strawberry they used. I remember now that it's the reason I didn't vape more of it at the time I got it. I'm thinking they maybe used either TFA Strawberry or CAP Sweet Strawberry in it (both have EA in them)...along with the WF Hazelnuts & Cream. I may try some TFA Strawberry Ripe in about 5mL of mine, since it doesn't have EA in it.

That’s what I used. Maybe a little cream boost? May try @Letitia ‘s idea and add a touch of the last of my PUR cheesecake. Or VTA pudding? Help :). Please

    I had been using mostly tfa flavors when I started mixing and had used tfa cheesecake graham and graham clear for some time. I now have cap ny cheesecake, pur cheesecake and graham, and OOO vanilla custard cheesecake. I am just wondering what everyone's favorite brand of cheesecake is?
    My fav is Cap NY Cheesecake,Cap Graham.and TFA Cheesecake with graham,TFA Graham Clear.

    My vote would be for the cheesecake, believe it would compliment the hazelnut better.

    I'm going to have to try your idea too sometime soon. Sounds good.:)

    If you can do strawberry, try it. I’m still vaping it tonight. Nice balance of flavors. Now to figure out the % for strawberry. I should know better than to add a “splash” to a tank, but I did it out of curiosity. Argh

    I also add mixed recipes to a tank to try stuff but what I do is use drops, so if your tank is full and you know it holds 4ml or 2ml or whatever and you add drops then you can figure a really good estimate on how much to use in a recipe.......just saying....

    I get no pudding notes from the Purilum Fran. I wouldn't like it if it did. Just thought it would taste better.
    As a cream then? Just trying to find a better use for it. It's not my fav cheesecake base.

    That would require remembering how many mls you estimated was in the tank to begin with.

    It works for me that way. I have 2 mixes I wasn't getting the cream note I was aiming for and added the Pur nycc and they were much better in 3 days. Going to adapt a few recipes to use the flavor.
