    I'm still vaping the cap horchata. It's not that I don't like it and it's actually growing on me but I do like the stronger cinnamon in the horchata smooth. The cap seems to have very little cinnamon but is much stronger on the rice/milk taste. Both are good in their own right but I like more cinnamon. I was thinking of using 4% smooth and 2% cap instead of the straight 6% that I've been using on the solo mixes. It can't hurt to mix a 10ml sample.
    Sounds like a plan to me,Hitt:)

    Color me happy. The Marscarpone Cheese is definitely cheesy. I'm betting it will retain its cheesy taste in a mix. I'm going to pick a mixed cheesecake and fill the rest of the little tank. Betting it's good. Tastes nothing like the HA IC.

    I got the Purdy Boyz mixed. Smells really good but I'm almost sure it's going to be wicked sweet.

    Fran, that sweetness should die down a bit after a steep. And now I find it lightly sweet. I find the blackberry version to have a tart taste, which at first I didn't like it at all. But it mellowed after a steep and is now quite good. The steep on the blackberry one is longer tho. About 3 weeks.

    :)

    eta. I just tested @NolaMel starfruit recipe....now that is sweet....lol but good....have to prepare for that sweetness tho. LOL

    I'll leave the starfruit alone.....LOL.

    I'll see how sweet this first mix is and if not too bad I'll do the blackberry version.

    After the post from @dc99 I went to BCF and read reviews on TFA Blackberry. Over all it seems most think its sweet with some tartness. I really only get tartness from the FA version, but again, there is that taste perception thingy...

    One of the 2 ADV I've been vaping for years is mixed with TFA Blackberry (carto tank only).

    It’s funny, some sweets are ok, others blech to me. In the remix, I dropped the pear completely. That took, to me, a good bit of the sweet out.

    I'm saying the only thing I can vape the mix in is a carto tank cause it's way too sweet in any other tank.
    Ok. Maybe I won't get the TFA version then. To me, the FA version is more tart than sweet. Maybe worth a shot? Dunno

    My plan for this evening is to grab a handful of flavor concentrates and make some sft’s. I’m woefully behind because I’m always adding to the stash lol!!

    I’m about to order case no #3. The 1st two have 64 spaces each and I was going to get a smaller case but mmmm maybe I should stick with the larger case :rolleyes: !! I’ve even gotten to the point where I’ve doubled up in slots.

    I do that too(doubling up). Here is the last one I got. It's not the biggest but still holds a lot, and it was cheaper than the big one. I could buy 2 of these for the price of the big one and have more slots.:)

    And the individual slots hold the bigger bottles.

    Just saw this on another thread posted by NGAhaze...

    Quoting him (hope that’s allowed)...

    “According to information posted on FB, Real Flavors is making changes, presumably due in part to pressure exerted by the FDA ... particularly disturbing is the item noted below in bold ( emphasis mine ).

    "As of today, Real Flavors has stopped production of 10ml bottles. Real Flavors has always been a fundamental service to the wholesale/manufacturing sector, sadly the smaller bottles have started to affect the speed and times we could provide our flavors to clients. On Monday, Real Spices will launch with great flavors dedicated to the home bakers, candy makers, home brewers, and all the other home users of Real Flavors.

    Real Spices was created to fall in line with the new food laws provided to us by the FDA. Super Concentrate flavors can no longer be mailed to residential addresses effective immediately.

    Resellers will not be affected by this change.

    Commercial clients can still receive smaller sample bottles free of cost."

    While they don't specifically state these changes were forced on them, I find the change disconcerting nonetheless. I don't understand why they couldn't continue to offer the sale of larger offerings ( greater than 10ml ) to residential addresses if this was being done strictly to address the distribution issue they mentioned above. Thoughts, opinions?”

    Sounds ominous :(

    Oh thanks that’s perfect! The bigger ones are expensive!

    Update: Ordered!!
