Random DIY mixing and More

[NatashaTMT]

Exactly that! (^^^^^^)

So, share all ready! My curiosity is driving me mad!!!

V1 was minus LB Blue Raspberry and had 8% slush and 3% boysenberry. We liked it but it was missing that ump. I added 2% more boysenberry, wasn’t there. Added a little more slush a few times and we liked it even more but wanted a little more berry kick. Only had about 10ml left then. Added LB BR and we couldn’t put it down. I’ve got whats left of a 120ml steeping now since 8-12. It does need 2 weeks with the Italian Cream. This mix spread like wild fire around here though!

Blue Raspberry Snow Ice w/ Italian Cream v2

3% Blue Raspberry (LB)
1% Blue Raspberry Cotton Candy (CAP)
15% Blue Raspberry Slush (OSDIY)
5% Boysenberry (Flavorah)
1% Italian Cream (Hangsen)
2% Pixie Stick Candy (Wonder Flavours SC)
4.5% Raspberry (LA)
.2% WS-23 30%

PG/VG-ratio: 35/65
Flavor total: 28.53 ml / 28.53g (31.7%)

This sorta mix might’ve confused me to see this about 6 months ago. That’s another reason why I was hesitant to share it on here publicly, as I know there’s a lot of newer mixers. I honestly feel many would probably enjoy this without the addition of LB BR but it does add to the mix. I mix it for a few people without it and others with it. Most of those who tried it without said don’t change a thing. Hope others enjoy this one as much as we have! @Sugar_and_Spice

I got my bcf order today also. I got 22 new flavors and still don’t have half the flavors in that recipe.

Can someone tell me why I bought vanilla swirl ??? There had to be a recipe I saw, but I can’t find it in my 4 billion pieces of paper. Maybe try it with my new dark chocolate and raspberry, add a touch of marzipan. Mmmmm

Everyone should have Vanilla Swirl in their toolkit. It is good stuff. I don't use it a lot, but it is great to sub for heavier vanilla custards and creams if you want to lighten up a mix.

I think this was my first BCF order since relocating to Washington State for a year. FedEx is saying it will be here on Saturday. It was mostly refills, but there was something in there for the ONLY new recipe I want to make, aside from the Chai Masala. Guess it will wait.

It sounds great! I don't have LB Blue Raspberry, FLV Boysenberry, Hangsen Italian Cream, WF Pixie Stick Candy, or LA Raspberry. Do you think I can sub? LOL

You beat me. I was going to say the same thing about the Vanilla Swirl.

I love the flavor of vanilla swirl but sometimes wish it had more mouthfeel; hoping pairing it with TFA vanilla bean gelato will give the feel and flavor I'm wanting. Frankly tired of buying flavors and even more tired of finding room for them. Still having to find room for the last two orders.

Some great notes. Read the comments section also. Everybody doesnt always agree

Thank you Very helpful.

Mine were 20-15% for several months too. Some are still high but most are 10-5% now. The desserts are always higher and fruits lower. If it tastes good in my atty I don't really care how much flavor I need to get there.

That’s how I feel. If I like it at 50% then I’ll make it that high. I started DIYing a month after starting to vape and everyone was saying 10% so tried it but it just wasn’t satisfying to me. Possibly since a had recently just stopped smoking. So I started aiming for 15-20% and it’s MUCH better for my tastebuds. Bill was making some of his recipes at 30% which is even too high for me lol!

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I was going to add Citric Acid to my fruit mixes especially the lemon/citrus ones.
I had been trying to find out why store bought lemon flavored juices didn’t fade like my DIY ones. Bills blog mentioned that most commercial ejuice manufacturers included it as a flavor preservative.
So I added a 10% solution to 3 of my mixes at 1 drop per 1 mls. It’s only been a bit over 2 weeks but so far I have had no lemon favor fade even with the Italian Lemon Sicily which for me always started to “disappear” at the 2ish week mark.
I’ll continue to test these mixes to see how long the lemons stay preserved.

Has anyone else been using or thinking of using citric acid?

That looks wonderful!!! It’s going to the top of my mix list for Friday.

I mixed up a bottle of 10% Citric Acid solution but haven't tried it yet. You have given me the courage. Thanks!

 

[FranC]

I did end up mixing one rice base test mix.I should do at least 5 sft's tomorrow but not sure that's going to happen.

Go for it!! Lol

Where did you get the citric acid from? I'm so far having good luck with the FE lemon but haven't tested it at 8-12 week yet.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

I got my bcf order today also. I got 22 new flavors and still don’t have half the flavors in that recipe.

Don't feel bad, on this last order I just got today, I considered then passed up the LB BR And the Boysenberry (Flavorah). They are still on my wish list tho. And I also considered and passed by the INW Yes, we cheesecake. Since my order I have heard this is an amazing flavor. So I don't think any of us are ever going to get everything we need or think we need. There always seems like something else pops up after the buying is done. Guess that is all just part of the journey.......sigh. LOL

I got it from Amazon as a crystal. I purposely didn’t use it with the FE Lemon since that doesn’t fade as quickly or as much as some others. I’m definitely interested in the 8- 12 week results you get with it.

Testing Sicily again since reading it comes back after about 3-4 weeks, some of my oranges do that too.
