Dave, I think part of the reason that the Cuban supreme hasn't been mentioned is that this thread seems to focus more on fruit and dessert flavors. That Cuban does sound really good and I might just add a bottle to my wishlist. Do you have a favorite recipe for it?

I just mix it single flavor mostly, but I have added Vanilla and Caramel at .5% each for a different bouquet. It's actually a good flavor to me standalone, but some say it's not at its peak unless you add the above. Reddit has a thread on it. There's an ECF thread from 2011. It's a retro flavor that's been around quite a while.

Here's one that's more recent ... 2017.
Help me come up with a tobacco-y recipe for my husband?

ETA: I mixed up a batch of Cuban Supreme in myDIY session today. Looking forward to testing it. It's been a year or more since I vaped CS.

I’ve only used Forest Berry in a mix with other recipes to fill out the berry flavors. Tbh I haven’t even vaped it solo. What kind of cream did you use?

My opinion only; but that looks like waaay too much strawberry, for that amount of forest fruit. I would back off the strawberry to 2% (or less); or, back off the forest fruit to 1% and use it as an accent only.

Also, that is a lot of creams (6.5%), to expect anything "ready," after only a one week steep. Hopefully, you still have it, and can check it again after a 3+ week aging period.
Seriously i needed an extra hand to squeeze the bulb while I squeezed the bottle.
If it is a Flavorah bottle; I'm not sure what use squeezing the bottle is. It (or more accurately; the only one I have) is glass.:confused: Just hold it like a pen, with your fingertips on the soft plastic bulb, and squeeze the drops out (let the bottle rest on the web between thumb and forefinger) just like you would a pipette. Of course, that still does nothing for the mixer, who wants to use a syringe.;)

Have I mentioned I hate those bottles??
Yeah; I'm kind of leaning that way myself. Any "benefit" they might be gaining by using glass; has (IMO) to be lost in the addition of extra headspace, and added permeability(?) of the soft plastic oversized tip. I am not a huge fan of PET; but I would rather have mine packaged in that, with a normal dropper tip; and knock a buck/buck and a half off the cost... than have that monstrosity. It's just too gimmicky for me.

    I only have one of those FLV bottles and mine is glass also. The Easia Tea came in one.The Easia is wicked sweet to me so I'm most likely to PIF it but if I order more brie and it comes in one of those bottles I'm not going to be happy.

    Mixed it up last night at exactly what was posted. Now to let it steep a bit and see. While I do have opinions on this recipe just from years of doing this I always like to try a recipe first the way it is written and give it a fair shake. No point tweaking till you know for sure. Ive been surprised before.
    My gut tells me the forest fruit is way to high and thats a lot of sweet SB and to busy a cream base but who knows.

    Didnt know you were a jeweler, or did I miss something

    That's why my coils look so good:D It's also why I'll be able to make a new faceplate to put a DNA into a D2 (out of sterling silver).
    I haven't been hiding it. Just checked.

    Sometimes the use of too much flavor will have that result also. You should try a mix or two with much less flavor. You may be surprised.:)

    I make wire wrapped sea glass / shells / pearl jewelery as a hobby, and man, i never make the perfect looking coil lol. I dont know how guys do it , especially on such small decks like the doggystyle, and the fact that men ypically have larger hands then I.

    When I first started out , i iused lower flavorings. Couldnt taste anything so i slowly raised. Mtl vaping gives me dull flavor. The only thing i can taste my juice so far is the fusion mesh coil tanks. Even rda s dont give me that much flavor.
