Random DIY mixing and More

There is no end to what the FDA can do. It might not stick forever but they can pretty much get away with anything they wish.

Now I’m depressed and will stress out all night about this. ......n FDA. It’s all about money and greed. Nothing more.

Aged Bourbon Cream

FA Blackberry is one of their strongest flavors. I have to make a dilution of it (10%) to even use it at all but I do like it, just in very small percentages.

Interesting. My bottle is an older one. Haven't used it in quite some time.

So true.

It's not really sweet like you might normally expect. I've used it to add contrast to other sweeter berries or flavors.

But with a 10% dilution?

Although RF is not my go to vendor the current news isn't good as it can spread to other flavor companies due to the FDA. I think we all should make sure we're well stocked.

Or compile a list of safe to use flavors. I can always get them through my brother in law. He’s in the culinary industry. Yes, I’ll share

There SB jam with toast and SB are great in Jam Monster clone but other than that I agree

I have heard of people saying it was good at like .01-.025 so thats where the dilution comes in. Like I said, I gave mine away I liked it so much

Don't. Resellers can rebottle the super concentrated flavors in 10ml sizes. I think they used the FDA as an excuse of launching another company to sell directly to us. I see this as a non-starter. But time will tell.

But with a 10% dilution?

Yes, definitely. You might be surprised how much flavor you still get from the dilution. I certainly was ... I thought I had it covered with the dilution and mixed one up at 5% and immediately regretted it. Steeping would have helped some but no, I couldn't be bothered with that.

I hope you didn’t mind me sharing your post from another thread. If I was out of step, I apologize

I hope so. I lose enough sleep worrying about the state of the world as it is!!

No worries whatsoever! I wanted to hear what others thought about the move so I appreciate you sharing it.

The FDA won't take away flavors. They really can't since TFA, Capella, FA, among others were around before vaping was a thing. Their flavorings were for candy and confections. They are deemed safe for human consumption. The FDA CAN stop e-liquid manufacturers but not flavor companies. That is why BCF changed their name some time back and the reason that FANA is the only supplier of FA's products in North America. DIYers are safe from the FDA.

We could lose some flavors but that is the worst they can do. Companies like Vape Train Australia might have to rename what is sold in the US by BCF. Real Flavors didn't ever seem to be a well-run operation. Any manufacturer who started up just to sell flavors for e-juice might need to restructure a bit for the US market.

Don't lose sleep over RF's decision. If I can't buy their Soda Base any longer (doubtful), it isn't the end of the world.

Pear, pink guava, starfruit and lt rum. Recipe off another place. It’s the one I can’t taste the rum (2.5%). Otherwise, it’s yummy. Pear is very low %

This is interesting....btw, I cannot taste the rum in this either. Since you did not give it a name, I called it StarMel in my recipe book. Or maybe if you like MelStar better we can call it that? You pick. LOL

How about guava star? Glad someone else can’t taste the rum in it. I decided not to try it in anything else because of that. I need to find a recipe without something as dominant as pink guava to try it in. Maybe that’s what is squashing it
