Happy to say that I finished testing my juices. So when I go to try a new mix I find I don't have anything I'm really excited to try. I'm pretty sure I better mix soon.
Anything else from them that’s a must have? I hate to order one flavor.
I use Purilum Marshmallow sometimes. It just a bit lighter than TFA and maybe a tad sweeter but not really big time noticeable other than the mouth feel doesn't get heavy after some steep time like tfa does.How much difference is there, brand to brand, in Marshmallow? I have FA that I use most frequently and am getting low, TFA DX (I think), and Purilam, which I have never opened. I am just wondering how much difference in my version of Heart of Andes you all think it would make to sub the FA Marshmallow for the TFA or the Purilam.
@FranC - CAP Super Sweet is about 4 times sweeter than other sweeteners or maybe it just seems to be 4 times sweeter. LOL
This is Hic’s notes on FA Aurora:ECX just posted this recipe to FB. I am wondering how I could sub to make a nice cranberry cocktail. I don't have CAP Cranberry and I don't have JF Pink Burst (a strawberry taffy from what I read.)

For an S&V, I could use TFA Cranberry. For the lemonade, maybe VTA Lemonade Clear and for the Tart Cherry, sub VTA Sour Lemon. No ideas for a sub for the Pink Burst though. Maybe a Raspberry flavor. IDK Maybe some FA Aurora would be good in a Cranberry Cocktail.
Oh yeah it's sweet(Cap Super Sweet). When a mix calls for 1 drop it means 1 drop. found that out the hard way--ruined a mix of mine recently. With others sometimes you have somewhat of a lee-way but not with this stuff. lolHow much difference is there, brand to brand, in Marshmallow?

I don’t. It’s one of my current every day vapes. I keep it in a tank on the blue Aegis mini (in your honorI didn't think it was sweet. What percentage did you mix at? I know there's at least one other person here that likes it so I'd be interested to see if they think its super sweet.
This is Hic’s notes on FA Aurora:
This is mostly a citrus blend, sharper than most FA citrus flavors. It’s more like fresh
citrus zest than juice, with an emphasis on lemon. It’s not especially sweet, and it’s not
one to fade with steeping. Try spiking your FA-based citrus recipes with a little Aurora if
you feel they mellow too much as they age. Vaped standalone, you’ll taste a little
something else in the background. It’s hard to identify but reminds me of white wine or
gin - though subtle enough that it won’t interfere with use as a “citrus booster” in
recipes. This flavoring is naturally a bit cloudy and separates as it sits, so be sure to
shake it before you use it.

I would just do a tester with the Cranberry you have(FLV?)and with tfa ripe strawberry.(or whatever strawberry you have on hand).ECX just posted this recipe to FB. I am wondering how I could sub to make a nice cranberry cocktail. I don't have CAP Cranberry and I don't have JF Pink Burst (a strawberry taffy from what I read.)

Have you tried the pom pudding yet? I had to add some sweet cream and cap van custard. It had this aftertaste like the bb milkshake smelled so I am guessing the same stuff was used to make both. I hope the fix will work or down the drain it goes.@hittman
Trying your Blueberry Milkshake. OMG this stuff is super sweet. Why did you not warn me.?? Shame shame.
Don't remember having see that recipe?I’m testing the red date/pom/shisha orange/ mascarpone/pistachio mix. It still has 2 weeks to steep, but I think it has real potential. (@FranC , skip this. It’s good sweet to me, you’ll make an icky face if you taste it.) Needs to marry a bit more. Could up the pistachio if it doesn’t pop then.
It was a guess what to put together test based on a irl party food. I’ll post if you want, but it might need adjustment after it’s fully steeped. I’m still trying to figure out % on mascarpone, and red dates is new for me.Don't remember having see that recipe?

Thats pretty close to the one I posted for Fran to try. AlmostECX just posted this recipe to FB. I am wondering how I could sub to make a nice cranberry cocktail. I don't have CAP Cranberry and I don't have JF Pink Burst (a strawberry taffy from what I read.)
