Would be hard to tell you cause I've never eaten a mango. The FE is much juicier so far but seemed to be getting sweeter. Can't try it again til I get home Sunday. I've kept some in a tank to check for fading and it hasen't yet.

Awww OK. I have eaten my fair share of mangoes although not as much now. It is hard for me to describe the taste. I can say that I find FLV Mango to taste like a mango. In the Mango Blossom Macaron recipe I mix by ID10-T (Mango Blossom Macaron), the overall taste is not sweet for me. Someone who likes sweet juices would probably add a sweetener to it.

2% FA Almond
1% FLV Cream
4% TFA Honeysuckle (pg)
1.5% FLV Mango
2% FA Meringue
2% CAP Sugar Cookie

You betterr get to mixing,JC:)

I've been making and vaping only a 30mL bottle/week of the LMP, and not vaping it exclusively. Was waiting for a quantity of the Lemon Meringue Tart to be available, and to order larger bottles of a few other flavorings in the recipe, too. Since I got them, I'll probably make just a 50mL bottle/week for myself and most likely some every now and then for 2 friends who are loving it, too. Will take less than 5 minutes per batch, since I'm keeping a 60mL "one shot" of the LMP handy. I don't know why I didn't think to make "one shots" of some other recipes' flavorings before this. Makes it so easy to routinely make more of the LMP, no matter what PG/VG ratio and nic mg someone wants. :thumbs:

    They said my third order shipped on the first so I wouldn’t expect it until the 11th or 12th. I’m very happy to have received the first two.
    I'm happy too:):)

    I'm betting you'll get it on the 8th or 9th. Mine wasn't shipped until the 29th, and I got it today. There was a week-end in there, too.

    My second Chef's order might be there when I get home Sunday but first of the week is more likely. That order has the 3 one shot concentrates I got. I will mix them right away only because It's the first time I've ordered any one shot.

    My “last” BCF order arrived today with all the flavors I forgot to add to last weeks order o_O! Honest to god, if I didn’t have me head attached... I forgot flavors I wanted and ordered flavors I already have. It may be time for assisted living ha ha!!

    The only other order I’m waiting for is from EcigExpress with a large bottle of FE Lemon and some JF Sweet Strawberry. What a waste in shipping costs. Wish one place had ALL the flavors!!

    No excuses is my mantra this weekend. Hopefully I’ll feel better and get my motor running!! Everything is out an waiting to go.

    Did you get a good amount of the VT Lemon Meringue Tart that you've said you're loving singly? Are you also using it in Nick's LMP?

    My latest flavor order came (bunch of grape flavors, and others to try and help boost the grape), and I spent almost 8 hours mixing and matching what I had to no avail - some trial and error, some recipes I found on ELR and ATF, low percentages, high percentages - most of it came out chemical-ly and blech .. I don't think grape is in my future.

    I have FA Fuji Apple, FA Pear, TFA Pomegranate, FW Blueberry, and FA Blue Raspberry coming ... I really hope I can make something out of that, that's worth vaping - if not, I'll probably end up giving it away to someone that wants to pay for the shipping.

    I did, however, find a vanilla I'm almost happy with - TFA VBIC 0.5%, INW Shisha Vanilla 1%, TFA Vanillin 4%. It's vanilla-y and mild, but I think its missing something and it vapes "dry", if that makes sense ... maybe a cream or something will help it, but I have no experience using creams at all. I'm not sure what cream or milk I could use to make it "milky" or "creamy" without affecting the taste at all, or by a very small margin. The kind of cream I'm thinking of, is the cream you'd use in a coffee .. like a 6% or 10%, not a whipping cream type of cream .. or if there's a cream that will help bring the flavors together a little more and make them more pronounced .. god I hope that makes sense haha.

    If anyone could recommend a good cream/milk or something else they might think would work, I would be eternally grateful! :)

    Edit: Apparently some creams can help even out fruit flavors? Maybe a cream can fix my grape flavors? Would be interested on hearing opinions on this too!

    Did you let your mixes steep? The chemical-ly will steep out or you could just leave it uncapped for a few hours. You can't give up so easily.None of us would be doing DIY if we gave up easily. There are a number of execellant creams such as RF Aged Bourbon Cream,FA Catalan Cream,Hangsen cream,FA Irish Cream just to name a few, Read the reviews and pick 3-4 to try. and let your mixes STEEP!!

    I got 4 10ml bottles from Chefs since they were out of the larger bottles when I ordered. But then got another 2 ozs from BCF too!! Hopefully this will keep me set for awhile.

    I haven’t made Nicks LMO but since everyone has been talking about it I think I will mix it as well.

    Creams are great with fruit flavors, I rarely make any kind of fruit mix without some kind of cream added. Creams can smooth harsh edges and bring a thicker mouth feel to your mix.

    Good all round creams: FLV Cream, FA Cream Fresh, FA Vienna Cream, WF Tahitian Vanilla Cream, WF Vanilla Cream Extra, CAP Vanilla Whipped Cream, TFA Bavarian Cream

    And a note about grape: I've yet to find a grape flavor that I like. I've tried adding cream to grape mixes and for me, cream doesn't help the grape flavor I already don't like. It is worth a try though as it might be something that would work for you - stick with a straight cream like FA Cream Fresh at 1% to see if it improves your mix.
