I’d get rid of the EM. It can mute flavors. If I use sweetener then I tend to use Cap super sweet but most times don’t use any.
I'll have to try without the EM next.. I did add ~0.75% of the sweetener I have though which did help quite a bit.

Enjoy the walk if you go, hopefully your weather is nice right now :)

    Good evening random folks. My doctor's appointment went well and I have been released to return to work. I'll work this Sunday. I'll be off the following week because I'll be in italy. Next month we start into holiday delivery mode, where packages are brought directly to the local post office and I get to drive Belle. I'll probably get more days than just Sunday, too.

    I mixed up 30ml of the blue raspberry recipe I used to use and it seems to be falling flat with a hint of blue raspberry. I'm coming from a commercial juice that was veery sweet, even after diluting it from 20mg to 12mg w/ VG. It'll take some getting used to, might have to revisit using a little sweetener to fill out the flavour. I only have some TPA sweetener though.

    Do any of you use sweetener and if so what kind? I want to find a balance that won't destroy coils. I used to use a dual coil RBA before my mod broke and got sucked into disposables. I've now had the Vaporesso luxe xr max for a week but obviously this thing won't pump out the amount of vapour and flavour as a good rebuildable. I think my mind is playing tricks on me hah.

    Code:
    Cotton Candy (10% EM/Ethyl Maltol) (TPA)-0.75%
    Dragonfruit (TPA)------------------------0.50%
    Jelly Candy (CAP)------------------------2.00%
    Peach (Juicy) (TPA)----------------------2.00%
    Raspberry, Sweet (TPA)-------------------6.00%

    It's really screaming to be great but needs some work for sure. It's an old recipe and I'm sure there's flavours that would do better here.
    I use a lot of TFA but for fruit I tend to look elsewhere. My raspberry recipe has 6% raspberry, a mixture of 3 different types.

    SSA Raspberry Syrup - 1%
    FA Raspberry - 2%
    FW Raspberry - 3%

    I reckon all 3 are good. They were recommended by someone here. I did try all of them separately, and various random mixtures. Ended up liking this one. Might be worth your while trying one or more of these. SSA seemed to be very strong.

    I do like fairly sweet mixes. Did try sweetener a few times in different recipes but even at low % I didn't like the taste. I know there are other flavors that are reckoned to give a bit of sweetness but I forget which they were. I use TFA Sweet Cream, maybe that helps.

    They say dragonfruit enhances other fruit flavors. I tried that once but it seemed very bitter to me.

    We watched a YT channel recently featuring Kansas City/Manhattan. I think that's where you are from thereabouts (KC)? I'd love to explore that city sometime, we're always just passing through.
