Random DIY mixing and More

[NolaMel]

That sounds good. It's hard to believe that as many flavors as I have on hand now that I'm still missing a couple to make this. I had fizzy sherbert on my list but took it off. I never even heard of or looked at sourball candy.

I have fizzy sherbet, not the candy. I’m just now getting enough that on RARE occasions I can say, “hah! I have everything in that recipe!!!” We need a blood bank/lending library kind of thing for juice where we could share flavors. Totally impractical, but it would be awesome. Or, y’all just all move here . We could make it work cause Letitia is bringing kittens after all.

 

[NolaMel]

Why not. It wouldn't be the same but could be good anyway

Once coffee kicks in, I’ll do a small tester. The FW menthol natural supposedly has a peppermint vibe to it at low %s. White Peppermint Bark was my seasonal adv for several years. I need to revisit mint. I was so stuck on just fruit mixes till I came to this thread. I can’t believe the variety I actually enjoy. Yesterday I made 2 cookies, 2 desserts, a boozy and a fruit.
I think today will be the mint, reeces cookie, some cheesecake base... not sure yet about others. I know mixing time will get short during the holidays between family and travel, so I need to get my ducks in a row.
@FranC , what’s the steep on mascarpone? I need to mark it on the bottle so I don’t forget.

@NolaMel - Do you like Butterfinger's, Snicker's, or Peanut Butter Cups? If you do, I'll post Bill's Magic Vapor's recipes for them. They're high total flavoring %, but I just cut his % in 1/2 now, and they're still fine. They all take Peanut Butter flavoring. I use the DX version myself, but it really doesn't matter.

It’s funny, I’m not a candy person irl, but I like it in vape if it’s not too sweet. TY, I’d love the recipes!

JCinFLA, gawd that's a gorgeous horse! Yours? Used to be my thing before the ole bod said 'no more, sistah!"

Thanks! Yep, he's my old buddy now...the last 1 of 2 Quarterhorses and 1 Shetland paint pony I had for many years. It's an older pic of him, but he's still in really good shape and is healthy (knock on wood). I know what you mean about the ole bod thing. It's getting alittle harder carrying the 50lb. bags of feed over my shoulder and lugging the 60-70lb. bales of hay around.

I made that Lemon Tart! And oh lordie it smells good. Here lately, I'm on a pomegranate roll - I created this little bitty (SUPER juicy) recipe - shake n vape too!

25/75 VG/PG
3mg nicotine
Blackberry Extra (TPA) 3.5
Whipped Cream (TPA) 4
Pomegranate (FA) 4
Black Current (FA) 2

Addicted to it

I have a German Shepherd puppy that took 10 years off my life couple months ago. The booger was WAY up under my bed - out she comes with a juice bottle in her chops! I dove under the bed like an Olympic swimmer & found a box of stuff I'd made a while back - and forgot.

I tell you, GSD puppies are giant jaws, teeth, and enormous paws. If, IF she wasn't so dang cute... I'd have donated her for a drug dog.

I don’t have black currant,what’s the flavor profile? The recipe sounds yummy

My daughter did GSD rescue before she got pregnant. The puppies were always adorable, chewy hot messes, but oh, the cuteness won over anything they got into . Down the road, I’d love a panda GSD.

Here ya' go! Everything is TFA, except for the Peanut Butter Cup that's FW. It may be on the too sweet side for you, as well as having a very high total % of flavorings in it. But, I know you're great at adapting recipes. I know even I'd go less than 1/2 for each one myself in this...maybe even just 1/3 of his % used.


Peanut Butter Cup - 8%
Dark double Chocolate - 2%
Milk Chocolate - 5%
Peanut Butter - 5%
Vanilla Swirl - 4%
Sweet Cream - 4%
Sweetener - 4%

High is an understatement, wow! You’re right, probably 1/3, that’s over 30%

 

[JCinFLA]

TY, I’d love the recipes!

All flavorings are TFA. His recipes were all high total flavoring % (17%+). He was a commercial juice maker years ago, and subscribed to HTF% because eliquids didn't need much/if any aging then. People had older gear, too, and most were just transitioning to vaping from smoking for many many years = had dead taste buds pretty much. I've found them still useful though, if I just cut the % to suit my very healed taste buds.

Butterfinger

Caramel - 8%
Peanut Butter - 6%
Cotton Candy - 2%
Double Chocolate - 1.5%
Milk Chocolate - 1.5%
Vanilla Swirl - 1%
Sweetener - 1%

Snickers

Dark Double Chocolate - 5%
Milk Chocolate - 2%
Caramel - 5%
Bavarian Cream - 3%
Peanut Butter - 2%
Sweet Cream - 2%
Sweetener - 3.5%

OMG so stupid, I have NO clue what a 'flavor profile' is! LOLOL I can't even guess.

AWWWww! GSD rescue? How cute! Now, what's a panda???

He's a beautiful soul, no matter the age. Look at that coat - he's sure healthy

Flavor profile, aka, what’s it taste like?
Panda... tricolor with white like the pictures (stole off the web. Daughter is teaching, so I can’t beg for hers
German shepherd rescue group , She was a foster mom...endless parade of puppies

Found this on red dates:
“Profile: Dark, sweet, and syrupy date flavor. Sort of a cross between a prune and golden raisin.
Off-Flavors: Light maltiness. Nothing floral or musky though.
Throat Hit: Light. A bit of bite, but nothing intense for a fruit.
Percentage Recommendation: 1-2% as an accent to darken other fruits. 5% as a primary dark fig or date component.”
I can see why I bought it, just no idea what to mix. I’ll put that on the docket. Off to mix!! I’m maybe going to try VTA Love (creamy white chocolate) for the andes. As soon as I find where I stuck the recipe

Can I swap ABC for FA vanilla bourbon? If so, at what relative %? Or would shisha vanilla be better? Pulling stuff for HIC’s Andes Mint

There is no bourbon in FA Bourbon Vanilla. I believe bourbon refers to the region where is comes from. Do you have FA Madagascar Vanilla (Classic Vanilla)? If so, you can substitute with this 1:1. I have INW Shisha Vanilla and have used it in specific recipes. There is no reason you couldn’t give it a try.

 

[NotSoMini]

Your tastebuds my benchmark for “not sweet”. I know if it passes the Fran test, I’m safe

I do not find M&H to be sweet. Similar to Fran I do not like sweet flavors and always eliminate any sweeteners a recipe calls for. In fact, they mute the flavor and why some of the flavoring brands do not work for me.

 

[NotSoMini]

That is MUCH sweeter.

Yes in real life but not necessarily so in flavoring depending. I don't sweet.

@hittman @NolaMel - I have an extra 30ml bottle of WF Sour Ball Candy. I thought I was out and ordered more when I already had a 30ml in reserve. If either or both of you would like the SBC, I can divide it into 10ml or 15ml bottles and share with you. Just let me know.

I just added it to The List. Trying to mix, and I APPEAR to be out of marshmallow??? It’s got to be misfiled, but I can’t locate it . Have flavors pulled for 4. Making progress

I'll gladly buy whatever NOLA doesn't want.
