    Well the champagnes are both too sweet to vape solo. With the Pink Champagne being the sweeter.The Pink has a pleasant taste but I don't know how else to describe it.The Wine has a nice light touch of fruity,also a slight boozy and fizzy taste. I don't get that from the Pink.

    Hey kids. Hope everyone is having a nice afternoon!

    Question for the DIYers that premix their custard or cream bases. How long do you let them steep before adding in the final flavors.

    I think this is the way to go especially for my Lemon Custard. Even with using FE Lemon it still fades after several weeks of steeping. However it can be quite strong to start with. So I was thinking 2 weeks for the custard and then add FE Lemon then steep another week or 2 if I can find the patience which I doubt lol.

    I love this thread. I wish I had stumbled on it earlier in my DIY forays lol!

    I like a variety of deferent types of tanks. Of course best flavor is always the main goal. The best flavor I get is in my vaporesso cascade with the new air flow system. Of course RDA is best though.

    I agree with the Cascade being an absolutely great drop in coil tank. I use one EVERY night. It’s my Go To Bed or Out And About tank. I use the GT ccell coils. Im not really fond of the GTM coils. Other than that I’m dripping all day for the most part lol!

    Me and ccells don’t get along:laugh: Different strokes... I like the flavor and all of GTM coils, they just don’t last long enough and often don’t wick right causing little burnt spots. Once they get those the coil is history. I’ve had this happen to about 50% of mine after only a few days or a week. Good ones last about 3 weeks. As I’m sure you probably know, they aren’t too cheap. I can see this being a problem for many.

    I have a White Strawberry Cheesecake
    TPA Bavarian Cream 1.5%
    Cap Graham 2.5%
    Cap NY Cheesecake 6%
    TFA Strawberry Ripe 3%
    TFA White Chocolate 3%

    This mix has little to no sweetness for me and no taste of fruit either. Going to remix
    TFA Bavarian Cream 1%
    Cap Graham Cracker 2%
    Cap NY Cheesecake 5%
    TFA Straberry Ripe 5%
    TFA White Chocolate 2%

    Maybe

    That’s precisely why I don’t like the GTM coils that the Cascade comes with.
    Have you tried the other GT coils? I like the GT 4 as well because it’s “best” in my vaping range of 35-45. Vaporesso just came out with a GT mesh coil that will fit the Cascade but I haven’t tried it yet.
    All my others are RBAs too.

    So I'm lowering my WTA content to 15%, the plan is to eventually wean off the WTA. But I'm posting about it here because I have to overcomplicate things and I did it in a very roundabout way.

    First I diluted 36 mg WTA to 24 as I've been doing. Then I mixed some 24 mg unflavored and mixed that at 25% with my 24 mg WTA, so I have 24 mg liquid that is 75% WTA. Then I mixed THAT with my v2 berry mix at 20%. It maths out to 15% WTA.

    It's kinda handy to do it that way though, because it dilutes my flavoring to 80% of the original mix strength just like before. So the flavor shouldn't change.

    Maybe someone will find that interesting.
