Well,all kidding aside I really have too much mixed already to make too many new ones. I've vaped almost the whole 30ml of my original Peanut Butter tobacco. I'm not going to do a remix right away. That will force me to put something else in that tank....LOL. I've also been vaping my old Strawberry Cheesecake mix quite awhile. I'm ready for a change there so I'm going to pick something else.
How many tanks do you keep in your daily rotation?

    I've replaced 2 mixes. Switched the Strawberry Cheesecake for Cereal Bar.The Cereal Bar is reasonably tasty. Switched my Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake with HA IC Cream for my Bittersweet Chocolate cheesecake,also with the HA Cream. The Cream mutes my PUR Raspberry way too much.

    HG cream is pretty strong Fran. In mixes I tend to use it as the only cream at 1% + .5% vanilla. Great cream for plain coffee and cream juices. Prefer FA fresh and Vienna creams or WF tahitian vanilla cream with fruits myself. HG for dessert ot savory.

    I haven't found it too strong at 1% at any of my mixes except the Raspberry. It doesn't mute my strawberry/rhubarb at all.

    When it was my go to cream for a while I found with some fruits .6 was enough. I only kept two creams for months and suddenly developed a liking for creamy fruits. Now I have about 15 various types of creams. Few of those won't be ordered again though. Next BCF order will include 4oz WF TVC.

    I'm not that big into creams but have enough to make me happy. Really liking the HA IC in my chocolate cheesecake. Thinking of doing a simple 2 flavor mix with Hangsen IC and Aus,Chocolate.

    The more I vape this the more I like it

    Cereal Bar
    FLV Cranberry .75%
    TFA Peanut Butter 3%
    Cap Cereal 27 1.25%
    FLV Milk and Honey 1%
    Is the FLV heavy on the milk&honey and does it smell? Or is it in the background?

    :)

    I’m very curious to hear your results.

    My experiment was quite successful, IMO. After mixing with the VTA Fuji Red Apple, I think they nailed the flavor pretty well. I have revised my notes to reflect my new opinion and will post those notes to the VTA thread. A Fuji apple is the sweetest of all the red apples. It was bred to be sweet and crisp. It is a hybrid of the Red Delicious and old Virginia Ralls Genet - Red Delicious for the sweetness and Virginia Rails Genet for the crisp flesh with a pear-like texture. The VTA Fuji Red Apple lacks the harshness that is sometimes present in a mix made with FA Fuji. It is also juicier than FA Fuji or JF Fuji.

    VTA Granny Smith Apple is excellent. It is tart-sweet, bright, crisp, and fresh with a juicy mouthfeel.

    My favorite mix is the one with VTA Fuji and VTA Granny Smith. If you want a bit more red apple than green in the mix, up the VTA Fuji to 3%.
    Cranberry (TPA) 7%
    Fuji Red Apple (VTA) 2%
    Granny Smith Apple (VTA) 2%
    Lemon (FE) .5%
    WS-23 30% .75%

    The mix of VTA Fuji and VTA Green Apple is lovely too. VTA Green Apple is definitely more tart than their Granny Smith, but it lacks the crisp, bright freshness. I do like it though. I mixed this on Sunday and the Green Apple needs 12 days or so to reach maximum tartness but it is tart from the SNV. I used the same percentages as above, subbing VTA Green Apple for the Granny Smith.

    In my third test, I used JF Fuji and VTA Granny Smith Apple at the above percentages. That Granny Smith Apple makes a big difference in the mix. It is fresher, brighter, and has a juicy tang.

    I won't be throwing out my other Fuji apples but will probably buy VTA Fuji when I need to restock. I will replace the INW Two Apples I have been using in my mix with VTA Granny Smith. Sure do wish I hadn't mixed up 240mls of the old recipe to take back East with me. :) I will make as much as I can of the same recipe, adding back in the Molinberry Shape Up Pear because I like the extra juice and texture it brings, with VTA Fuji and VTA Granny Smith. I think I will save the Green Apple for more experiments when I get back to the Pacific NW at the end of October.

    Mango goes with rice (usually sweet but you don't have to sweeten it at all).

    Lychee? I would try that personally. Or maybe some melons or cucumber.

    I have tried zero of these things, I'm just thinking out loud. Rice is my least favorite carb of them all, there's no way I'm VAPIN it.

    Of course I have neither of those.

    First time I've seen HG used. I usually go with HA,
    Picked up HG from elr. Since that's where my stash and calculator is I usually stick with their abbreviations. One of the members is trying to straighten out all the variations for each brand/flavor to make it more cohesive and less confusing. He's my hero, that's taking on a lot of work.
