    I need to replace/ refill and grab some wishlist flavors. I was hoping to get it somewhere I could get nic too. Discount just makes it a little easier on the wallet

    Which nic do you buy from them. There are three different kinds.

    Nic can wait for two weeks, or a sale. Decided to go for flavors :p. Maybe this will hold me for a while. Hah! Ok, till the next recipe with missing ingredients at least

    Bourbon Glazed Pecans by xGRANITEx

    FLV Bourbon 0.75%
    FW Butter Pecan 3%
    VTA Golden Syrup 1.5%
    TFA Kentucky Bourbon 0.20%
    TFA Toasted Marshmallow 2%
    FLV Rich Cinnamon 0.15%

    Its a little buttery but not to much. Its basically a maple pancake syrup

    This recipe looks good, but I'd never heard of the Golden Syrup myself, then again, I'm a DIY-newbie any way. Not too fond of maple in a vape, but I love the syrup on real pancakes/waffles. Will subbing that for, say brown sugar or another sweetener, drastically change the flavor of the entire recipe? Not sure with that percentage and 2% of marshmallow seems like it could be sweet enough on it's own (although the 'toasted' part may tone down the sweetness some).

    Oh, and if anyone cares, I haven't mixed a damned thing. LOL! Haven't bothered tasting the few that I've done, although OSDIYS Blue Raspberry Slush was too menthol/minty with little raspberry for me at 10%. Will need to mix that with another raspberry, I suppose, or try a bit of sweetner. Haven't been feeling that great lately, so don't much care to fiddle right now. :oops:

    Hope you get to feeling better. I haven’t mixed in probably three weeks, life managed to get in the way

    OSDIY Blue Raspberry Slush does not normally have menthol/mint in it. Maybe 10% is just too high for you if you are getting that taste.

    Just regular. Use them, nic river or nude...usually based on sales. Heartland is usually cheaper without a sale

    I should have explained that I was talking about heartland. I tried their premium before in a smaller bottle and thought it was pretty good but didn't know if it was that much different from their cheaper stuff.

    Honestly, I can’t tell the difference between the three companies’ nicotines. A couple people on another thread recommended Heartland’s regular nic. As far as prices, they seem to be lowest. Hoping for a sale soon to stock up a bit more. Spent my shiny $ on batteries and flavors this check.

    I need to get at least one liter. I was hoping MFS would run a sale since they ship in glass bottles and I don’t need to open it right away.
    Good to know. I didn’t know they shipped in glass. I break mine up into 120ml bostons when it gets here. Easier to store

    I don't think there really is supposed to be any maple note in the VTA Golden Syrup. I'm Canadian and I love my maple syrup but I don't much care for it in a vape. I remember using the Golden Syrup in some other recipe and I don't recall getting any maple (pretty sure I would remember if I did).

    So there's not much in that recipe that needs steeping so I think I'll be trying it sometime in the next few days. I'll be sure to report back when I do. :)

    I broke mine down in 100ml glass too but I don’t want to buy more bottles right now.
