I Know you listed the % of each but would you mind giving it to me again? At the time you originally posted I thought I would never touch the ywcc but if I can blend it into Cap nycc then its a way to use it up instead of just having wasted $ on it.

Thanks

How do you decide which ones are necessary? Because if I can get back from testing all of them it would be a dream! It really is time consuming!!!!

I was thinking maybe I should start with flavors I use the most to find the different nuances in different manufacturers flavors.
As you have already noted it is time consuming. Maybe your time would be better spent is doing the sft on a recipe you want to try. Also smelling the flavor can also give some insight. Of course it does not work with every flavor(like the ones with alcohol as a carrier) but it may give you a better feeling. Even if its only whether its strong,med, or light smelling gives you some info you can use to determine where it may fit into a recipe.

    Cap NYCC is my go to old fav with TFA Cheesecake/Graham being up second place. Both with added graham. I gave the PUR,ywcc and the OOO all a fair chance and I'm done trying anymore new cheesecakes. For me,my old favorites win hands down.

    It is 100% Philadelphia cream cheese. Thats why I mix it with NYCC. Great in some recipes but not all. Next time you order get the PUR. Both of them because they go together. They take forever to steep but worth it
    I have a little Pur left. I have probably one each of most of the decent cheesecakes. Steeping now (ready Christmas) is a ywcc + cap cc + TFA cc graham, to see how that compares to my usual cc base. I was adding greek yogurt to mimic the bite of cream cheese. What would you recommend? I liked the Pur. Honestly can’t recall why I went with cap over pur. Originally I was using both in my base

    Giving thought to trying one of the mascarpone mixes tomorrow. Be nice to nail down the right % for it.
    It’s somewhere between what we worked down to and maybe more than 5 drops/30 ml. I’ll be able to tell more in ten days. It’ll be at 4 weeks then

    My 2 mixes are barely a week old. I suppose I should give then a bit longer. I'll give one a try at 2 weeks I think.

    I have been known to put a small % of brie in a CC. Cap is a bit tangier to me but the PUR NYCC is better but only after a 4 wk steep. I actually like to blend Pur NYCC with Pur CCGC

    I really like the Pur cc also. I use 4% PUR NYCC and 3% PUR Cheesecake. And it does take about 4 weeks. Lately tho I have been wanted something else to put in so been looking around. Adding some of the ywcc may be what I am looking for at 4% maybe?

    I think you'll have to try it and see.

    For some reason I've gotten a lot of my mixing ideas first thing in the morning. The other day I woke up to the idea of FlV Milk and Honey with tea. I haven't mixed a tea in quite awhile so not sure where that came from. I haven't gotten any further with that thought. Any ideas?

    Today's going to be a bit busy here.Going with hubs to see the radiation dr. Then have a couple things to pick up at the store. Once home again I need to bring in some wood. Then my plan is to try another mix out of the drawer. Since I haven't had any desire to vape my baccys lately I have removed them from my steeping drawer. It's a lot less crowded in there now.
