    I have 11 flavors on my wishlist but 4-5 of them have been there a long time. There isn't actually anything real exciting on my wishlist at all unless you count the Tahitian Vanilla Cream. Nah,that doesn't excite me either.

    I don't know if I can hold out for a Halloween sale or not.

    If you can't wait for a sale elsewhere, OSDIY's 9th Anniversary Sale for 20% off is still going on, until midnight Sunday. CF aren't included, but you might want to check and see if they carry the flavorings on your Wish List so far. That 20% off discount is a good one! Use ECF or JFK on the Shopping Cart page.

    I did an experiment tonite.

    Peaches and cream
    Lemon
    Lemon sicily
    Strawberry ripe
    Juicy pineapple
    Honeydew

    All at 2% each. At first taste, ill have to say not bad. Made a 30ml test batch and gonna let it steep a good bit. I think it needs another fruit profile but these are all i have on hand just now. Im thinking maybe dragonfruit. Feels like it needs another "red" flavor..

    I can taste rl apples just fine but not in a vape. Same thing with caramel.

    Apple vapes I can taste, but same thing here with caramel... Can't taste any worth a damn so far. I also have problems tasting most coconuts, it seems. I can smell them in the bottle just fine, but it rarely shows up in the vape. Luckily, coconut isn't a favorite of mine - but it bugs me like there's no tomorrow. So much so that I'm going on a quest and got a bunch of different coconuts. I've only started, but it seems like CAP Coconut I can taste much of the time.

    However as far as caramel goes, what I do now is always add a bit of butterscotch if I'm going for the caramel taste itself - like 1-1.5% FW Butterscotch. Since the flavor profile is so similar anyways, it allows me to taste an approximation of what I think of as caramel. You might want to try that too. I've done this both with a caramel custard, as well as a butterscotch caramel custard - with the latter being more heavy with the butterscotch obviously. When I had taste tested them side-by-side, there was an actual difference - with the more caramel-heavy one having that deeper/darker sort of taste.
    Like with the coconuts, I'm going on a caramel quest and have ordered a slew of those as well.

    However, I don't know if there would be anything similar to that for apple vapes. :)

    The lemon will most likely fade if you let it steep too long.
    Honestly, i can barely taste the lemon as it is. Even with 2 different lemons in the mix. Like i said, its an experiment at this point but im gonna follow those lines and come up with a fruit medely that will be memorable.

    Sounds like a good sub for caramel for you and I have considered that but I don't like butterscotch. I can't vape anything with the taste of coconut at all. I didn't care so much about not being able to taste caramel but I went on an expensive quest to taste apple. DIY flavors and vendor juice. A total waste of money. I really don't miss apple anymore. I've found others I like a lot.

    TGIF,any Friday plans folks? I think it's safe to say I have an ADV quality mix with the Cereal Bar. Happy about that.Plan to move on and try a couple something elses today. My 1st version Peanut Butter Tobacco is gone other than what's left in my tank. I vaped the whole 30ml. That's up for remix but I'm in no big hurry right now.

    What ever happen with the mix you named Cereal Killer? Did it die?

    I have a half dozen mixes that aren't ready to try yet and the half dozen that are ready are all tobaccos. Guess I need to mix soon.

    I did try my cereal/cream.Glad I tried it like that. It tells me I like the Cereal 27 and it's not sweet. I think I've decided to add strawberry/rhubarb to my cereal.
