Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

No luck! I found some pulls I liked and the wife started nitpicking about something on them so I just put them back. I’m ready to tell her to go pick something and I’ll install them.

You should.

I just wait in the truck and let her shop while I vape.

I just bought myself a green tea with cherry at Walmart today and it was crazy good. I started wondering if it would be hard to make a vape that tasted like this tea. I know cherry is a tough flavor to work with but in this tea, the cherry is present but not at all overwhelming, kinda light but there. Has anybody had success with a cherry flavor and what flavoring did you use. I really think I could pull this off if I knew more about that flavoring

If you want a good green tea flavor, FE Green Tea is the one. It's a pleasant, but delicate green tea, mild with a slight earthiness. Herbaceous but no sickly grassy taste. It totally freshens the olfactory senses. It has a light lingering green tea flavor, as there is when drinking a decent green tea. There is a very light lemon citrus undercurrent (very delicate). FE Green Tea has no bitterness or off notes.

I've used it up to 1.2% with darker fruits. Per several on ELR going over 1.2% turns FE Green Tea into something nasty tasting.

As for cherry flavors, I like SSA Ripe Cherry and SSA Compote Cherry. As you noted, cherry DIY flavors are difficult to work with because when used too high they easily overtake other flavors. The SSA cherries are very highly concentrated flavors.

For a cherry green tea I would recommend making 30mls FE Green Tea 1.2% and then adding one of the cherries above. How much to add? I would only start with 1 drop in 30mls.

Good luck!

It’s a good idea.

I’m surprised she wanted to go. Her back is still bothering her.

I like FA Cherry Juice, which I use with a tobacco flavor. It's the only way I'll use tobacco. It doesn't have a cough medicine taste.

You’d think she’d want to see a chiropractor.

 

[FranC]

I can’t vape cherry at all.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

I don't mind cherry. For me, it's not a flavor I'd vape regularly. Every once in a while it's fine. But even then I will only make 10mls.

I like the cherry cavendish from Stixx Mixx but don’t have any single cherry flavors.

I burnt out on cherry for good years ago.

I mixed a blackberry crumble clone today that I found. It used older flavors so thought it might be more accurate since I think dinner lady started selling it prior to 2019.

Good luck. If it’s close you’ll have to post the recipe. I think you said it’s not sweet.

Earlier today I was on the Chemnovatic website reading some of their blog entries. I don't recall which one it was but they mentioned some of the Dinner Lady juices use Molinberry flavors.

In the EU Chemnovatic makes many of the juices sold by several companies including Dinner Lady. They use whatever companies flavors are specified for the recipes.

I normally like dessert flavors, but I mixed up some Rainforest (not my recipe) as a fruity shake-and-vape MTL juice. Sharing for those who might be interested:
- INW Cactus 0.5%
- TPA Honeysuckle 2%
- CAP Super Sweet 0.4%
- CAP Sweet Guava 3%

I'm considering adding another fruit to balance it out, since it's been brought up perhaps strawberry or cherry? Or maybe go another direction with papaya or pear?

I’d go with the papaya with guava.

Strawberry would work with honeysuckle and guava.

Papaya, guava and strawberry work together. I've had that combo in smoothies IRL.

Pear being a fairly weak flavor would get covered up by the guava.

Last year I made something with pineapple, guava and strawberry. Ugh, can't find the recipe ATM.
Thinking it might have been in a cake and cream mix or maybe an ice cream.

Thank you, I appreciate the suggestions! I'll probably make batches with strawberry and papaya separately, and then both together.
