Well, I might as well throw this out there. I have tried INW yes, we cheesecake in 2 different mixes and I just don't taste cheesecake. So I am letting them steep some more but they both had very short steeping times with the recipe. Maybe I need to up the amount of cc I put in but don't want to ruin the mix if its one of the flavors muting it for me. sigh,....
I mix it with CAP NY cheesecake. INW taste like cream cheese but not a total cheesecake

I use it at 3% and get the cheesecake just fine :)

Well then its my taster cause I used 3% also,,,

That's too bad! But, it is what it is. We all have different perceptions of taste.

At 3% I find it to be perfect. You could try to bump it up a bit - maybe 4% and see what happens. Might get funky - hard to say.

Yep you are correct in that. I try a little bump on a couple of mls and then try some NY cc in a 2nd couple of mls to see which one I can taste.
Thanks

What about Boysenberry preserves and waffles, with a little raspberry or blackberry?

:)
Just a tip if using the Boysenberry Preserves. If you want the darker berries to be up front use the Fa Blackberry but don't overdo because the preserves already has some blackberry in it. If you want a lighter berry taste upfront use a raspberry. I used TFA Sweet Raspberry. Yum on both of them.

You actually use FA blackberry? Taste just like perfume to me. I actually sent a whole bottle to somebody on here because it was so bad

    I like fruit. And the PUR just hits the spot for me. Not fake, not candied just has a good flavor to it. I like it strong so I probably mix it at a higher rate than most would. Around 12-14% and it takes a long time to steep. But then most of them do anyway.
    If you wanted yummy, like sweet gooey type stuff, I really don't do that. I could have said PUR Buttermint and gotten the same reaction from you. Because that flavor is right up there with the ones I listed. I know I am weird but it is what it is. I like the chocolate chunks also so could have said that one too. There may not be any hope for me.....LOL

    :)
    Was just curious. I've actually never bought a watermelon flavor.

    Then “updated” a couple of disappointing mixes like an Orange Creamsicle & Cranapple mix.

    What was disappointing about your Cran-Apple mix? Mine is about all I have been vaping while back East and, to me, it is delicious. Now that it is getting cooler, I am going to add some spices to the base, which I am completely happy with. No mixing for me for another week or so. I go back to Washington State next weekend.

    TFA is pretty good but FA? I couldnt use it at .15. I cant remember who I sent it to but I never heard anything else about it.
    Fa is what I used, I just looked at my recipes. I will put TFA Blackberry on my BCF wishlist and do a tester to see if I like it better...... thanks for the tip.....but I do like the Fa but like I said I use very little.

    I think I have tried just about every watermelon out there. And they always seem to take a while to steep. And they all seem to have very light flavoring. That is why I mix it strong and put it away for a couple of months to steep. But again that is just me.
