Is the Sour lemon really a sour lemon?

It is tart and bright - not as sour as I expected from something called SOUR lemon. It is definitely the tartest of the lemons I have tried and that is almost all of them now. I think I read somewhere that the sour increases with a steep but this is tart and refreshing. I am enjoying it my Sherbet Lemons. :)

    Then try the guava Mel. It would probably work, go with your gut. My gut likes lime and tangerine is all.
    I went with your gut, it’s more reliable ;). Plus, I like lime. I did the same 3% blood orange in an already steeped cheesecake base, plus 2 drops lime tahity, and 0.5% each fig and marzipan. We’ll see how that goes. I made 30ml because I was too lazy to dig for a bottle to clean, but I don’t think there’s anything in it that would make it a toss.

    FA Aurora at .5% might give you what you are looking for. I don't know how I got along without it for so long. I had a bottle, just never opened it. :)

    I've given up on the Coconut Nut Cheesecake. Along with it's other shortcomings it's also a tad sweet and it's not good enough to fix. Tomorrow I'll move onto my Blue Guava Cheesecake. I used up some of my steeped TFA base for this one. Much better than the PUR.

    @FranC - I just found the note about the VTA Sour Lemon. Supposedly it reaches maximum sour at about 15 days. Mine hasn't steeped that long yet. I need to check the date on my SFT. It might be approaching 15 days. My Sherbet Lemon is fairly fresh so I would expect it to become more sour if I make enough to last that long. It is SO good!

    This sounds really delicious I'm going to mix this up when my FA order comes in...decided to go for the entire range bar a few ....I find the adv search hard..I just seem to like switching from one mix to another. :))
    It really is a tasty adv:p I’m enjoying it this very moment. It’s steeped a couple of days at this point. It’s supposed to hit the mark around 3-4 days. So looking forward to it getting even better! The coconut, surprisingly, isn’t loud at all. It’s mellow and smooth, cool as a cat:laugh: The pistachio gives it some character, which I quite like chilling with. It’s enough tasty flavoring to want to get another taste but not so much you’ll tire of it quickly, etc. I’m considering adding .5% more FA coconut because I love that stuff and a hint more coconut might be good. It’s a nice vape though and I’m glad I mixed it. I also like to change up my juices a lot, but my coils don’t like it so much:laugh:

    Sounds intriguing!:p
    Filled my tank last night and still quite tasty this morning. I used the steeped TFA Cheesecake base I had so it's very well steeped.

    TFA Cheesecake with Graham 6%
    TFA Graham Clear 2%
    FLV Pink Guava 1%
    FLV Brie .75%
    TFA Blueberry Extra 4%

    My mixing plans for today will be tropical and a few boozy. I already have some ready for vacay but need to add more to be sure I don’t have to worry about juice while away. I’d really hate to have to buy commercial. Blue guava has got me thinking though...

    Sounds good! I’m thinking maybe a blue guava splash, to make it 3 day shake & vape, considering I don’t have that long for steeping atm. Not exactly sure what I’ll use yet, instead of cc, but I’ll think of something.

    I’ve got a few I’d like to do something with soon... TFA Rose Candy, WF Hibiscus Candy, TFA Ruby Chocolate & INW Purple Rain. Anyone with experience with any of these, feedback appreciated!
    No help here. I have none of those.

    You have close to a month don't you?
