    I am loving Basil, which surprised me. I am a really good cook, but just because I like something in food doesn't mean I will like it in a juice. That basil flavor is a winner though. I do think familiarity with how flavors blend and complement each other does make it easier for me to convert a food or cocktail recipe to a vape recipe. It just all makes sense to me.
    That gives me high hopes for the basil:)

    Every tank I own (with the exception of ones I have put aside to sell or to give away,) are filled with test juices. I need to narrow my testing or buy more RTAs. :)
    Thats a great idea! I only have one I use solely for testing. I believe I need a few more!

    Being you said it’s worth every penny, I’ll take your word for it. I’d rather have one great one than 5 meh ones for the same price!
    To be honest its not in my top 3 SB. Its good but not $16 good. Its also weak as far as FLV goes.
    Yep, Brain in neutral

    Now that's awesome! Kudos to you for sharing and helping them kick the habit.
    Glad you chose to share your Scutch! That recipe, has helped no less than 5 of my friends, convert from smoking to vaping. You've done a good thing!!:thumbs::D

    I don't really relate cooking and juice mixing to each other. I can't seem to separate the whole experience of eating food from vaping it. It's why I don't play with chocolate, one simply cannot replicate the whole amazing feel of a mouth full of milk chocolate. I am just disappointed when a juice falls short in that fashion. Better to keep them in separate camps in my brain.

    I don't do much with strawberries, but strawberries go well with basil, so that will be my next concoction. Every tank I own (with the exception of ones I have put aside to sell or to give away,) are filled with test juices. I need to narrow my testing or buy more RTAs. :)
    I'd be happy if you tested more:) Loving the recipes:)

    I don't necessarily equate cooking and juice mixing but do find that mixing flavors that complement one another is easier for my years of seasoning experience in the kitchen. Forget chocolate - there is no comparison. :D I eat chocolate, creamy, rich, delicious! I don't vape it.

    I'm not that big on strawberry anymore. I don't mind mixing with it but don't want it as an up front taste.

    I treat it more like VG than PG in that its thicker than PG but not quite as thick as VG. I do think I get better, more crisp top notes with it versus straight VG. Lot less steeping also. Wanna try something funny? Put it in your fridge.
    I agree with you and maybe I will revisit down the road, maybe assign flavor profiles to each base. All my attys have specific flavor profiles. Could work. I'll play with wicking and see how it goes. Keeping peg in the fridge is a no, flavors already take up too much room. I have a small refrigerator. :(

    Ahh, but it will surprise you. It will turn into a solid block of white something. Soon as it thaws it goes right back to clear liquid.

    I haven't had the nerve to try mixing with lavender yet. Too many memories of "old lady" perfume and body powder.:shock:

    The one time I was fortunate enough to eat at a posh restaurant, where they used fresh lavender blossoms as an edible garnish, I did enjoy those. Maybe I need to put on my big-boy pants and give it a try.:D
    A chef friend turned juice maker does a lavender vanilla that’s quite good. Took a while to get the recipe right. First trial it melted a stardust clearomizer over night (years ago when that was the new fangled tank :lol:). It’s definitely a like or hate flavor, it’s on the aggressive side

    OKay, taking it off my list then. Now I’m curious of your top 3 SB:laugh: I don’t go wild over that same one so many people do.
    Dont get me wrong, its good but it has a really weak off note to it if you mix it stand alone. Not much nut its there. Could just be me. Cap sweet SB, TFA SB ripe, Inw shisha. Succulent SB from OSDIY is good for a sweet SB. (it is sweet)
