Do y’all think this would work for flavors storage? I’ve got to do something. They’re in a plastic shoebox right now. Fine to put them up, but I have to pull every bloody one out to find what I want

I bought one that holds 64 bottles by Nail Caddy. I may get another or need another one soon. Lol! I LOVE it! I can see where all my smaller flavor bottles are and quickly grab the ones I want. I keep larger bottles in fridge drawer and only open to refill the smaller 10-15ml bottles as needed.

Since many of you seem to be on a "fruity" kick lately...I thought you might like to try this Hawaiian POG clone recipe another ECF member came up with. He makes it for himself and several people at his workplace, too. I personally haven't tried it though, because I don't care for Guava.

He didn't use orange in it, because he said tangerine worked better, in his opinion. He also has a sweet tooth, so you may want to reduce the % of the sweeter flavorings and the sweetener.

Hawaiian POG Clone

CAP Sweet Guava - 7%
CAP Sweet Tangerine - 4%
TFA Passion Fruit - 2%
CAP Dragonfruit - 1%
CAP Super Sweet - 1%

Think I’ll give this a mix tonight! Looks like a perfect summer vape Thanks!

    @NatashaTMT Go real easy on the Tirasimu. I for one don't like it.But beware of using too much.

    I wrote a whole thing about Koolada vs. WS-23 some months ago. Koolada is actually colder than WS-23 if compared one to one. The difference is that commercial Koolada liquids are a 10% solution and WS-23 solutions are a 30% solution. The two are in the same chemical family. Koolada is WS 3 cooling agent - Koolada is just a cooler name. :) Koolada is 150% the strength of menthol and cooling agent WS 23 is only 75% the strength of menthol. A 30% WS-23 solution should be considered 1.5 X the effect of (the most common) 10% mix of Koolada- WS-3. So, generally speaking, if you use 1% Koolada, use .75% WS-23. If I am putting menthol into a recipe, I sometimes cut the WS-23 back to .5%.

    Some people feel that WS-23 is smoother. IDK - they both work for me.

    What chocolate did you use?

    FW Dark Chocolate.

    I just mixed up 60 mL more of this. Start vaping after 2 weeks and then by the time I get through 60 mL I should have a pretty good idea of how it is with a longer steep. What I have of it won't last 2 weeks though so there will be some wait time. :(

    I did cut the percentages by a third to get to the flavoring level I'm vaping now, I figure if the flavor is strong enough as it is I can conserve some ingredients that way.

    To All Who Are Curious About FLV Basil
    @FranC, @NatashaTMT , @Letitia , and all others who were curious about basil in a vape juice.

    I added .30 FLV Basil to a Lemon Granita I made a couple of weeks ago - similar to a Sorbet but grainier (added some meringue for the texture) and more Italian. Basically an Italian Lemon Ice. The Basil is a PERFECT addition - it makes it very refreshing and that basil blends right in. Whoever suggested that - it was a great call!


    The Pineapple Basil Rum Fizzer is absolutely delicious! It is less sweet thanthe Piña Colada (no coconut) and is also very refreshing. LOVE it!

    NOTHING TO DO WITH BASIL:

    The Cranberry Pomegranate Champagne Sparkler is also a winner. It is tart, a little sweet, and has that perception of effervescence that I like so much in my vapes. It is a keeper.

    I made a new version of the Raspberry Frozen Yogurt, adding in some Oba Oba. Lots of mixers use FA Oba Oba with yogurts and I do think this version is better. Delicious!!!

    FLV basil is on the list. Thanks for the heads up about the sugarloaf, it's delicious as a single, every hit I take has the wheels spinning.

    Well I mixed up a version of this Hawaiian POG. I didn’t have sweet guava though so used regular guava. I haven’t been able to put it down since lol!
    My initial vape thought and I wasn’t crazy about it but it’s really good. I imagine a few days of steeping and using the called for sweet guava will make it even better! Thanks for sharing it
