Doesn’t say pink guava... I’ll keep digging. I usually have a recipe if I put a specific type of flavor on the list. I wouldn’t add any sweet to either, more of a guideline

    I don't think(?) there are any actual spice components in TFA-EGT. I was trying to describe what I got from both the beverage, as well as the vape. I find the vape to be pretty authentic to the beverage. It is rather potent; so a lower, rather than higher percentage, is never a bad choice. :D
    What percentage do you recommend to start with?

    Early on, I stopped using ingredients like Smooth, EM, MTS vape Wizard, and even sweeteners; in my initial mixing experiments.
    I haven’t stopped using them entirely but like you, last resort options unless I’m following a recipe I trust. I’m quite stubborn. So, in the beginning, I didn’t listen when I was told to save those until I’m more experienced. I ruined probably a couple handfuls of mixes by over sweetening or using the wrong sweetener. I also ruined a couple tropical fruity mixes by adding MTS as if I was making a smoothy. Those sharp citric notes you want in that type went MIA, making it a rather meh juice. I actually still have it and don’t touch it:laugh: I can list several mistakes like these I made using additives before I was ready. All great advice from you as always!

    Brand of flavors on the first of the 2 recipes you just posted:)
    They were recipes I saved for future use. I’m bad about using them as a rough guide, adjusting to what I have or changing to a flavor I like better

    I started out, in my early days using a Viva Nova tank, using TFA-EGT as high as 13% (I'm hearing all the gasping already; and I haven't even posted yet:pervy:). Now, with much newer equipment, and somewhat more-recovered taste buds; I find 4-5% for stand-alone, and 2-3% for simple mixes. If you are looking for a lighter profile; you may want to take it even a bit lower. :)

    Same! I just realised I now have cherry blossom in:w00t: I’ll have to find your suggested use for it. I know I have screen shots somewhere:laugh: I have a full day of mixing planed for tomorrow. So perfect timing!

    Added that to my notes. Hopefully will order on a 4th sale. At least I hope there's a sale. I'll try it solo at 4% first. TY:) I've found less flavor is more nowadays.

    This will be confusing, I’m afraid... each is for 30 ml total. I only put the ml of flavor added on the label so I don’t have to “math” when I mix again
    Cherry blossom 1.2
    Pomegranate .6
    Grapefruit .3

    Or....

    Cherry blossom 1.2
    Honeydew .6
    Peach .3

    @FranC - you could try a Fizzy Sea Breeze with ONLY Pink Guava for the grapefruit flavors. Maybe 3% TFA Cranberry, 1.5% Pink Guava, .5% FA Lime Tahiti Cold-Pressed, .25% FA Lime Tahiti Distilled, 1 to 2% some kind of champagne (I would use FW Pink but that is a bit sweet,) OR RF Soda Base, .5% WS-23 OR .75% Koolada.
