    I did bump up all percentages by 25% for sub ohm vaping / personal preference, but this is the recipe as intended. As I mentioned, I also added 1.5% of CAP Cereal 27 for a crunchy crumble topping. Mine had a total of 12.43%. I mixed 30ml on 9-1 and its already gone:p

    Strawberry Cheesecake Crumble V3

    46fff6f6fd116a5bc2863ec6331af25e
    - by ceeceeisme

    1.25% Juicy Strawberry (FA)
    1.5% Shortbread (INAWERA)
    2% Strawberry Shisha (INAWERA)
    .25% Super Sweet (CAP)
    .75% Vanilla Shisha (INAWERA)
    3% Yes, We Cheesecake YC (INAWERA)

    PG/VG-ratio: 35/65
    Flavor total: 4.38 ml / 4.38g (8.75%)

    Notes

    A pretty simple concept here - strawberry cheesecake with a crumble topping. Simple, but delicious.

    Flavor Notes:

    INW Shisha Strawberry/FA Juicy Strawberry: these two strawberries are about my favorite SB combination these days. The work incredibly well together at these percentages to give you a sweet strawberry flavor that is not overly artificial and is lightly sweet.

    INW Yes We Cheesecake/Shortbread/Shisha Vanilla: a trifecta of perfection and a wonderful base for just about any fruit you want to sub in here. YWC is more of a European cheesecake flavor and strikes a nice balance between cheesey and creamy without any of those stinky cheese feet notes you can get with TPA Cheesecake (Graham Crust). The Shortbread adds the buttery crumble topping here and the Shisha Vanilla lifts both the cheesecake and the shortbread.

    Capella Super Sweet: at 0.25% this additive helps to bind everything together. I freely admit I love a sweet vape but if you like a less sweet vape, feel free to omit.

    The beauty of YWC is it really doesn't need to age to shine - allow this mix for to rest for 24 hours then enjoy.
    Thank you:)

    Sorry about the migraine Natasha. My wife gets them very frequently and has some fast melt tablets that her doctor prescribes. There’s a new medicine that just came out that she’s going to try.
    Thanks Hit! I’ll have to look into these new fast melts! Migraines are definitely a huge inconvenience because you simply can’t push through them and continue on with responsibilities! I’m actually about to leave my house in just a few minutes to try and get caught up from yesterday.

    Tobacco Rum
    FLV Raisin Rum 1%
    TFA Vanilla Bourbon 2%
    HA Flue Cured 4%

    Flue Cured Rum
    HA Flue Cured 6%
    VT Light Rum 2%
    Light Rumbaccy
    VT Light Rum 2%
    HA Ry3 4%
    Cap Hazelnut 1%
    These are right on time! Hoping to have time to mix later today but if not, in the morning. Thanks Fran!

    I have to run and play catch up. Hope you all have a great day and happy mixing:D

    The fast melts aren't new. She's been using those for a while. She couldn't do any of the preventive medicines since she had bad side affects and they didn't really work that well. The new medicine is a monthly injection that you give yourself. She hasn't started yet but is supposed to soon. She has had as many as 10-15 migraines in one month.

    I'm actually feeling rather overwhelmed with my latest order of 22 new flavors. my cabinet is a mess already and now more on top of that. I need a lesson in organization or something. I'm hoping that between the old ones I haven't tried and the new ones, it will keep me busy and keep me from ordering for a while. Last month was brutally expensive with back to school and back to college for the kids. I've tried before unsuccessfully but want to try again to not order flavors or hardware for at least a month.

    @hittman does the VTA need much of a steep? Think I'm going to mix VTA jr 5% with INW yes we cc 4% instead of doing sft for both.

    I honestly didn't try it when I first got it. I mixed sft and all of them steeped for two weeks before trying. I would think that it shouldn't need much of a steep.

    Thanks. We have high hopes. Her doctor called her when this medicine was released and we are hoping it doesn't have the bad side affects that some of the others did.

    Thanks Hitt and fingers crossed for your wife getting some relief soon.

    I did at least get my flavors straightened out yesterday. Today's agenda is get the atty maintenance caught up that I didn't do yesterday. Maybe a few mixes this afternoon.

    Aww... You poor migraines folks. They are the worst, my little sister and my kid used to get them horribly although they've both stabilized. Some of those migraine abortives are SO TOXIC too. For a while there, my kiddo was taking one every 3 days it seemed like and I HATED it because mainly they would just knock him out for hours (although he seemed to prefer that to the alternative). I hope you (and wife) feel better soon!

    I really want to do some tasting today but IDK what time I will have. I think I was on ECF my shortest amount in a WHILE (although that is a good thing) I'm just starting to Ramp Up to the work thing (hopefully) and start organizing clothes, purging maybe thinning many herds (not my vape closet though, but other things I just don't need.

    I'm a bit of a hoarder, but not to the point of needing dumpsters and a "hoarding therapist expert to get through it) will have to see how it goes.

    I know I'm using a lot of last flavors my last mix, but I seem to be doing a LOT of amending bit by bit this time around. For example, my honeydew mix tastes like.... Unflavored. LOL.

    The best DIY thing I have done for me to date is to mix base. It makes the 20 ml mixes seem so much more sensible and at this point well, they are.

    I'm in migraine mode after putting my tree stand up doing overhead work. I hate the pills as much as the migraine except they usually don't last as long as a migraine without the pills. I'm going to ask about "other stuff" at my next appointment. I'm not sure if it will work since my migraines seem linked to my neck now, but the pills are going to kill me as much as I take them sometimes.


    Been vaping the watermelon salad with 2% jalapeno. Definitely needs less jalapeno. It's not hot, it just wears thin on the throat.
    Need to mix but don't feel like it.

    between here and there
    I am testing Fran's Fizzy Rum and it is tasty with just an overnight steep. Put it in a tank but didn't fill tank all the way, I would say I filled it about half way, because I also mixed a 2nd bottle and added about 5-6 drops of the ginger peach. So, a little later I will fill the tank the rest of the way and test it. I have a feeling that even the 5-6 drops may be a little too much seeing how the ginger in the ginger peach is so dominant. When mixing with that flavor one needs to pair it with another peach flavor to to enhance the peach portion if you wish to taste anything but ginger.

    Also with the FW Ginger Ale, not recommending 15% as a starting point, I would go 5% and below first. The ginger in this is also a little on the strong side once it starts to steep.

    I will be keeping all the samples I have left(I mixed each recipe at 15ml) for a long steep to see if ginger will fade a bit or if other flavors start to stand out more.

    :)

    "other stuff"

    That's what my son uses, exclusively now (he has fibromyalgia and interstitial cystitis and used to be on SO MANY meds, but that is "all" he now takes, at one point he was on like 11 different things, and finally I got to the point where I was like, "This is insane" (autoimmune things run in my family and no, I don't think he was faking and he's not real recreational about it.) Sorry to be off topic but it's worth asking about.

    Sorry sorry.

    I am annoyed with BCF for the first time ever. They shipped my package FedEx SmartPost, which takes longer than just shipping USPS to begin with. It looks like now I won't get my Labor Day sale package until next Tuesday. First Class mail makes it across the country in two days. Oh well - I am SO tired that I probably wouldn't have felt like messing with the two new recipes I want to work on. My daughter has a trial this week and I am exhausted! She is out of here at the crack of dawn and gets home very late. Keeping house and caring for the three kiddos is SO much harder than I remembered. Of course, I have my month long vacation coming up when I get to fly home and take care of my other daughter and her newborn. I know how to have fun! Seriously, it is an honor to be so involved in my grandchildren's lives.
