    Been looking for a review of the Mascarpone Cheese but I can't find anything. Too new I guess.

    Guess I'll try the chocolate and IC mix and maybe mix the cheesecake I've been working on. Want to keep the cheesecake simple so the 2% IC can take center stage ......hopefully.

    I looked on ELR and the recommendations on the Mascarpone are anywhere from 1.5-6%. It looks like recommended flavors are mostly fruits. Not sure why. I don't even know what mascarpone is.
    Its an Italian Cheese. Close in likeness to a cream cheese (in rl) by it's consistency.

    In other news my HS IC 1.5% and Chocolate Mousse makes for a tasty 2 flavor mix.It does have a little of the cheese bite. I read a review on Reddit (I think) that said the cheese taste really comes out when mixed in a cheesecake.I did get my cheesecake mixed with the 2% HS IC so we'll see. Need to give it a little steeping time for the Cap NY Cheesecake I used.

    Nope. You are using math. I'm not sure what I was using... but it certainly wasn't math!:facepalm: :lol::lol::lol:

    I apparently was having a "senior moment." Her flavors amounted to 10 percent of the total 30mL batch. So, I immediately deducted 10 milliliters instead of 3mL (from the 30mL total), to account for base (resulting it a 23, not 27mL, base amount).:-x:facepalm::-x

    I am glad somebody was looking out for me! :thumbs: :D:laugh::laugh::D
    (I better go see if I can still edit that post!;))

    No..., no I didn't. I chose to use something far worse!:facepalm::laugh: Your percentages look pretty spot on.:thumbs::D
    :lol: Marking this on my calendar... my math was right!!!! For what it’s worth, I think the current score on correctness on anything diy is Joel 8 billion, Mel 1. I vape high ohm, low watt mtl, so my %s are probably much higher than what y’all need. Another reason I hesitate to share recipes, they probably taste like concentrate to y’all :lol:

    I do low ohm but usually don't go much over 30w. I like strong flavor so please do feel free to share any recipes you want to.

    Not necessarily so. I am currently using low ohms and mid watts in tc. And I find the higher I up my watts on some juices the heat kills the flavor. So I either lower the watts back down, or add flavoring so I can go up in wattage. Don't know if this is across the board average for vapers or if its just me but I have since started making my tried and true favorites in higher % and it works for me.

    I had a Vanilla Pom Cheesecake,10 weeks steeped with 1.5% HS IC. The Pom long since faded but I'm not getting any cheese taste from the cream at all.Guess my hopes are with the Mascarpone. Also the Brie is good.

    I usually hang around 12-14w. Getting ready to test my boozy strawberry lemonade in a (gasp) .4 coil at 40 watts. I’ll try it later in my regular setup if I survive the nic overload. I think this batch is at 5mg.
    Ty for letting me know... I know when I did dl only, some of the flavors I loved were just meh when I went back to mtl. For me, it takes more flavor % for my setup.

    I haven't been able to get any lower than 12mg even with my .27 ohm coils.
    I had two surgeries fairly close together and had to go zero nic for several months. When I went back, I started at 3, then settled on 6. Now with diy, I make my base at 6. Depending on the recipe, that leaves me around 5-5 1/2mg. Coils usually over 1 ohm

    Boozy strawberry lemonade is good. Not too much berry, may want to bump it

    VTA lemonade clear 7%
    Fa red touch strawberry 3%
    Wf soda base 2%
    Fw pink champagne 2%

    I am running higher than normal... .4 ohm coil, 30 watts. Took it down to 25 watts still gooood

    I'm boring. I don't use TC.
    It is so simple to use. The TC only controls the temp at the temp you set, not allowing it to go over so your coils never burn(unless you run out of juice, lol). There are a couple of other things depending on the type of wire you use, but mostly it is not complicated. I get the best flavor from titanium coils. Flavor just pops with them(for me). YYMV

    @FranC, You asked me last week or maybe this week about the VT chocolate mousse. I am thinking you wanted me to try a recipe? Could you post it again please, just got my flavors in from BullCity. I did just see the post that you were really liking it.

    :)
