    I have yet to try the pink guava or the grapefruits I got on my order. Actually I haven’t tried most of them or even mixed sft yet. I think I’m going to make myself mix up a bottle of base before I try making twenty sft with the new flavors.

    I had too many untried, it was getting ridiculous. So before the Labor Day sales, I made 5 mixes using 5 different flavors I had been pretty purposefully ignoring. I knew if I didn’t, they would get pushed back again by flavors I needed to make recipes I was excited about. The two that are ready have been nice surprises. Plus it broadened my flavor profiles. I’ve been on a dessert kick. Needed a little variety

    I'm doing zero sft this time around. I end up not getting around to tasting them half the time anyway. I never throw them out though which has turned into a good thing. Handy for knowing if they fade 3m down the road. I found 3 of my first sft last week. Just shy of a year old.:facepalm:

    SFT it is rather sweet but surprisingly doesn't lend much, if any, sweet to a mix. I love that stuff. It has overtaken FW Pink Champagne as my favorite fizzy.
    I didn’t get any sweet, but gin, tonic and lime may have blocked it

    Good morning,folks:) My first mix with Hangsen Italian Cream is a full 8 weeks old today.I've tried it here and there along the way so I'm not in a big tear to vape any today. I may or may not. I do have a couple finished recipes to mix and still working on another 2-3.

    I added the Soda Base to my wishlist but don't know if I'll get it or not.

    I think I've actually at least tried all the flavors I've gotten except a few from my last order I haven't got to yet.

    I thought the magic number for the Italian Cream was 9 weeks to bring out any additional 'cheese' notes it may have. ??

    I have flavorings I haven't even got put away yet so you are def doing much better than me.....and there are still some on my Bullcity wish list.......yikes.....

    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

    Good morning fellow mixers!:D I always miss being here when I can’t seem to find the time to make it. I know I’m missing out on great tips and recipes! @FranC I’ve mixed a bottle of your Fizzy Rum (adapted) to take with on vacay next week. I decided to go with the ginger peach one:p IME, I haven’t seen a lot of change with steeping any of the versions of it I mixed.

    If there’s one thing I’ve learned, even with all my flavors, I’ll never have them all and will always be missing one here and there. I’ve given up on trying and now focus more on finding an ideal sub rather than rushing to purchase those missing for this or that recipe. We usually make recipes our own after the initial mix any way, if not on the first.

    and anyone who might be interested, my most recent findings in regards to my above mix...
    I’ve recently discovered there’s a huge difference, IMO, between LA Raspberry & the clear one. I first mixed this one using the colored version. Then, upon running out, ordered the clear. I assumed it’d be the same without the addition of food coloring. IMO, it ruined the mix as it didn’t add anything and seemed to thin out the flavors. Initially, I thought it was the addition of LB Blue Raspberry and maybe I just missed it on the first bottle. I really don’t think thats the case though. I’ve just mixed one omitting LA’s Raspberry altogether and using the LB BR sorta in it’s place. I wasn’t certain which I liked better anyway... with the addition of the latter or without. When I have more time I’ll do a few testers to find the best mix. I’ll play around with FLV Boysenberry & LB BR's percentages. Though, for now, hoping it satisfies simply omitting LA’s raspberry altogether. I’d also like to try it with other berry profiles rather than blue razz. I know Fidola mentioned mixing this one. So I’m hoping I was able to inform before anyone mixed:) I feel like I’m forever playing catch up:laugh:

    I have a half dozen on my BCF wishlist but 3 get skipped every order so far.

    Yes I think 9 weeks is more correct and it probably will be closer to 9 before I get to it.

    No worries from me, I haven't had the time to mix this one. Didn't have the LA Raspberry anyway and was going to sub one, but now I will just omit it.

    Have a good vacation.
