It sounds good but I don’t have three of the flavors and I’m pretty sure with three apple flavors in it, I’d take a few puffs and sit it down.
I don’t have 2 of the flavors & the FA Apple Pie is for the crust. I’m not a big Apple vaper but I loved his last 2 recipes so figured I would try it.

I want to give a few more vanillas a try, specifically ethyl vanillin and DIYFS Holy Vanilla (some people swear by this, some people say it doesn't live up to the hype, would love to hear opinions on this too).

DIYFS Holy Vanilla is a good vanilla but for me, doesn't live up to the hype. I use INW Shisha Vanilla and INW Vanilla Cream way more often. They are much more "brighter" vanilla's for my tastes whereas Holy Vanilla is more of a dark creamy vanilla. It has it uses but anywhere I can use it I can use INW with a better result.

What is the difference between vanillin and ethyl vanillin?

I've been looking around and the answer I usually find is that ethyl vanillin is about 3x stronger than regular vanillin - just curious if that's the consensus here as well. I want to give a few more vanillas a try, specifically ethyl vanillin and DIYFS Holy Vanilla (some people swear by this, some people say it doesn't live up to the hype, would love to hear opinions on this too).

Also, is there a flavor out there that goes by a different name, but is solely ethyl vanillin or will I have to buy the crystals and dilute myself? If so, is there a recommended dilution ratio?

Thanks again :)

To be honest, holy vanilla is probably the best out there. Is it all that? NO. If I was ordering some holy grail ry4 I would get it but not a special order just for it. Normally I use INW

I need some shake n vape ideas...i'm too impatient for steeping :p
need to make some to use now, and then make some for steeping
what flavors are best for shake n vape?
Most of the fruits. Even the fruit blends like forest fruit or harvest berry will get you by. My go to when I get bored is 8% tfa keylime and 1% menthol and Im not a menthol person. Its nothing spectacular but it pretty good

Do you like custard? Usually they need to steep but this recipe http://..................../recipe/2758932/Custard - The Quickening
It’s on ELR, is fantastic as a SnV. I subbed JF Bavarian Cream for the CC Devon Cream.

Also Nick Evans Lemon Meringue Pie on alltheflavors is great as a SnV.

@dc99 - I still have not tried the tob recipe you made for me. Will the FLV tobs mellow out or get stronger.
Some get stronger but most just mellow down. Im working on a creamy tobacco now. On the third tweak. Soon as its done its yours

So I get an email today from Chef Flavours with an “invitation" to review the flavors I ordered. Only issue is I have not received my flavors not that I would do reviews.

The last time I got that email from Chef's my order arrived 2 days later. :lol:

3x as potent .. does that mean if I use 1% ethyl vanillin it would be the same as 3% vanillin, or does it taste different while being more potent? I guess that's more along the lines of what I'm trying to ask :)

Im not a vanilla expert by any means but here goes. I dont really think its 3X but it is stronger. I also get sweeter from ethyl than regular vanilla. To me regular vanilla is dark and musty, ethyl not so much. More of a real vanilla bean type flavor. Its been a while since I played with just vanilla but thats how my old memory remembers it
Found some of the old notes. Ethyl is sweet like EM but light vanilla notes. Use it .25-1.5% and thats all I wrote. Been a long time. Maybe I will update my notes soon
