I love berries and I love cheesecake! How could this be wrong:laugh:

Have you happened to do any simple wine or champagne mixes such as a white strawberry wine for example? I’m wondering if a white rose wine or champagne might work or basically if these would feel too thin without heavier flavors.

    I haven't but it's definitely an idea. What flavors do you have a mind?

    I haven’t gotten that far yet but it’s been a passing thought for a while now. I haven’t sft’d yet, so I need to read reviews and such for my wine / champagne flavors which are...

    INW Sparkling Wine
    FA Wine Champagne
    FA Red Wine
    FA White Wine
    TFA Champagne

    I don’t think I’d wanna use my VTA Blood Orange Champagne. Possibly FW Pink Champagne but maybe to boost another. I might try a couple. Maybe a strawberry rose wine and a vanilla apricot champagne? Idk yet though, maybe a raspberry. White grape or any lighter fruit would probably be nice with champagne I would think. I’ve never really worked out these ideas yet. This is further than I’ve considered before now. Open to suggestions!

    I can see I'm lacking. I don't have any wine flavors...... Suggestions will require much thought.

    I believe I’ll save this one for after I return from vacay. That way I can devote some time to mixing up a few sample combos. Then I’ll be able to write a couple based on what I know rather than guesstimating. I know you have experience with boozy mixes. Have you noticed any issues with mixes feeling thin with these types of mixes. I don’t mean thin flavor but feel or weight I guess.

    Funny, (I was just making notes on this last night) how we both were thinking wine mixes. LOL

    Just at the note/combo stage. Was thinking red wine or pink champagne with some or mixture of any of the following...

    Pom, lime, orange, grapefruit,lemon or maybe apple, honey, passionfruit......that is all I have for now,...LOL

    :)

    No, but I have it saved. I know many love it based on the reviews I’ve read. Pretty good?
    I doubt I will ever try it, vaping corn holds no appeal for me. The recipe itself looks good and it is well received.

    I cannot find my mix, or even open my flavor notes. IIRC the chocolates, (there were two one was the clear double chocolates and I have two coconuts so I used like 2% 2% same with the chocolates and toasted marshmallow that's about all I can remember.

    I don't love brownie in real life but I have a flavor that's okay. I imagine that might be slightly darker and richer, but well, I'm flying a bit blind here. It's not a hard mix though honest!

    Also rhubarb... adds the taste of rhubarb (I think mine is Natural Flavors) and it can fade out a bit fast so if you are steeping lengthily I might want to wait a bit to add it. However at the right percentage it is nicely tart and tastes well, exactly like rhubarb more or less, I mean it's pretty close. Etc.

    I bought some of the WF Hazelnuts & Cream that several of you mentioned as being really good. I agree, after vaping about 10mL so far, of what I made 3 days ago.

    I also think it's probably the "base" in Lightning Vapes' "Strawberry Stratus" eliquid that they sell. For $1 as an add-on item, I went ahead and got some when I ordered batteries recently. Was the first ready-made eliquid I've bought in more than 2 years, so thought what the heck...I'd give it a try.

    I'd vaped about 5-6mL of it when I'd gotten it about a month or so ago. Immediately, the taste of it came to mind as soon as I tried the Hazelnuts & Cream. It has that same distinctive taste, but with Strawberry added to it.

    Hiya Joel:)
    Did you ever try your Faerie’s Finest cream cheese? I tried RF’s a few weeks ago which traumatised me, in a sense:laugh: You may or may not have seen me comment concerning. I think I’m ready to try others cream cheese now though. Looking at DIYVS I see they have several. Other than RF and LA CCI, they have FF, Bickford & Natures Flavors. I’m not at all familiar with Bickford. If you or anyone has any experience with any brand of just cream cheese, excluding RF, I’d really appreciate any feedback! This recipe looks tasty too:p
    No; I haven't tried working with it yet. So, I can't offer any opinion yet... sorry.:(;)

    Bickford is a National flavoring company; sorta like McCormick (can be found in several grocery store chains). As I understand it: in the early days of DIY, they received a fair amount of love. Then, as other flavor manufacturers started coming into popularity, they seemed to fall by the wayside. I have not heard of any Bickford "must have" flavors; so I never paid much attention. Do, do your research (if your are considering) before buying, as they offer both oil, and non-oil based concentrates.
    I’ve never really worked out these ideas yet. This is further than I’ve considered before now. Open to suggestions!
    You mention wine and fruit, and instantly, my mind thinks of Sangrias. You could look at Sangria recipes for inspiration. Here are just a couple that caught my eye (as possible starting points) on a quick search:

    I had been using mostly tfa flavors when I started mixing and had used tfa cheesecake graham and graham clear for some time. I now have cap ny cheesecake, pur cheesecake and graham, and OOO vanilla custard cheesecake. I am just wondering what everyone's favorite brand of cheesecake is?

    No worries on FF cream cheese! Helpful info on Bickford. I’ll be sure to to my homework if ever I feel the need to use one of their flavors.

    These sangria links will be fun in playing around with my wine and champagne mixes! I might even finally try my FA brandy to do the white peach sangria with cona. They look interesting! I might have to try a few types of wines, champagnes and sangrias:p

    Thanks Joel!

    I personally can’t answer that one yet, but before too long I should be able to considering how many I have. INW’s Yes, We Cheesecake is nice though. I have different ones steeping atm but it’ll be a bit. I can say that I probably go against the grain as I’m not impressed with CAP’s NY CC. I’m curious to what others say here.
