To cut sweetness my remix will be

FLV Basil 4%
Cap Cucumber 2%
FA Lemon Sicily .5%
FA Kiwi 2%
Koolada !5
This one sounds better to me. I think I would trade the kiwi for lime with my first run at basil. Does the cucumber have a wet/juicy feel? How strong is the skin showing up?

    Yes but I don't care for the up front taste of lime. The skin is minimal for me at one day old.

    The INW grape is really floral. I have heard it will steep out but after a week it was still there. There "grapes" is pretty darn good
    Ty. I really don't need another Grape but always looking for something that might be better.

    Fran the Fizzy Grape needs work but I do like the Purilum grape soda. The VTA tangy orange drink is a winner but too strong at 8%, I'll give it a couple more weeks before I decide what to do with either.
    I've tried 3-4 sodas over the years but found then all too sweet. Just re-tried TFA Gingerale and yup.....too sweet.

    Sorry PJ, I don't mean to put you on the spot; as I understand that you are only sharing what you read from others. But, I am guessing(?) that the recipe as you posted is for a ready-to-vape (as is) recipe? Then, if using the Trinity as a S.B. concentrate substitute; one would want to omit the deluents (PG and/or VG), and mix only:


    TFA Strawberry Ripe 54.55%
    INW Shisha Strawberry 36.36%
    FA Red Touch 9.09%

    to create a flavor base (compound concentrate), by omitting PG and/or VG... and then use that in place of a recipe's specified S.B.?

    This seems like it ought to be obvious to me, and I shouldn't even be asking, but I am just not wrapping my head around it. I feel like Charlie Brown; and my ignorance is showing. :blush::D

    Thank you! Yes, those were the percentages to the total. I should have put in the percents as you did. Thank you!!!!

    I like the kiwi idea but want the to try the basil first with just citrus. Then I'll add the other flavors. Going to have to pass on some of my stash to others. You guys/gals have got me wanting to expand my flavor profiles.

    I've tried too many mixes today. Can't figure out what's in one tank.

    When I have all of that going on, I literally put stickers on the tanks with the juice name on the sticker. It is the only thing that works for me. I am easily confused.

    That is a great idea.

    Both right now. Kind of like a mix between my diet sunkist orange and a tangy powdered drink mix. I like it and think at a different % will be a good stand alone for me as well as a mixer. Think I may to use it for the orange in my sherbet recipe. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks.
