I'm not sure on that but I know the PUR does. It's a good Raspberry though .
That’s what I use. Ordered VTA’s on a whim. Haven’t tried it yet. Holidays got in the way of any mixing .

Drove to Alabama today to my mom’s to pick up presents and food for Christmas. She’ll take the train down. I can’t convince her it’s easier for me to come get her AND the stuff a few days before Christmas, but she’s 85, and I’m not going to win ANY argument. So, I drove 6 hours here to pick it all up :rolleyes:.

When I get home, I have a list of stuff to mix. I don’t think I got to any of the cereal 27 ones. But, the three days I was carless, I mixed about a dozen bottles. Should have plenty ready for the holidays. Several were 2 weekers, thankfully

    This will be targeted radiation on the tip of the right side pelvis bone.

    Hers was targeted also. They put a couple tiny little tattoos on her. She went five days a week for several weeks.

    The other day I tried a Blue Cheesecake I mixed back in July. I found it to be very so-so and I put the tank on my desk pv. When I make a stop at my puter I don't always have a pv in my hand so the desk pv is the only one handy.The Blue Cheesecake seems to taste better when it's all that's handy. I'm determined to vape at least half the 30ml.

    I find sometimes that when that little bit of heat the juice gets from the atomizer can make a so-so juice good. And the wicking can take a tank full or so for the flavor to kick in. Just an observation.

    Yes I know but I'm afraid the little things aren't going to save the old Blue mix. The fruit that was once in it has headed for the hills never to be tasted again..............

    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.
    Fidola, I think it just depends on how specific/specialized one wants to get from a given flavor.

    Some folks want very specific characteristics for a flavor. That citrus might need to be more "zest," than "juice," or "candy." Other folks may just want a general citrus note, and not really care what specific nuances it may contribute. (Also, if a person only has one or two choices, and they are vastly different... making a choice may be rather obvious. ;))

    I find, it is most useful for me, when I have a very specific goal/recipe in mind. When I am trying to create that "fresh from the vegetable stand watermelon," and I have I have 11 potential watermelon concentrates to choose from, it can be worth the extra effort. Trying to recreate a clone of a commercial e-liquids is another time having additional knowledge of your concentrates can help save time.

    When you do invest the time for side-by-side comparisons; be sure to write lots of detailed notes for yourself. Learn from my mistakes.:facepalm: I did a rather extensive watermelon comparison a couple of years ago; and thought I had it committed to memory (other than a few scant notes). I grew discouraged with my early recipe creations (not "real" enough), and needed to step away from it for a while. When I was finally ready to try again; I had forgotten almost everything, and will need to start start from scratch.

    My final thought on single flavor comparisons:
    I generally find these most informative; when I have previously determined what my preferred percentage is.

    This may add even more time to the process. But, I have found the results to be near worthless, when I am trying to compare unfamiliar flavors. I did this with my first batch of lemon concentrates. And, because I had no clue what percentage (for each concentrate) I needed to be using; I was missing many of the subtleties, others said they were tasting. My comparison ended up being a waste of time.
    Yup,hubs got the tattoos too. They're not sure at this time how many days he'll have to go.
    Fran,
    Wishing you and your husband, an uneventful and successful treatment. You both are in my thoughts.:wub:

    Good morning,mixers:) Any new plans for today? I'm still trying steeped mixes. I'll be doing this for awhile. I really need to thin out my drawer. I'm not finding much use in keeping mixes I really don't care to vape. I have some more notes to go through also in search of a new recipe idea. My Raspberry Cookie still tasting good this morning. Dug out the recipe yesterday and found I put a touch of walnut in it. Tasty.

    Trying my Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake this morning. Mixed in July with the PUR raspberry and it has faded away. I will remix this but only when I'm more ready to vape it up. For now I'm going to try adding more raspberry.
