    You're probably right. I honestly still feel like a noob at mixing. I don't have a good feel for the flavors that I have except for a few and really don't know what goes with what. It's all hit and miss right now and I have mostly been doing two flavor mixes.
    If you have some flavors with a question about what they go best with then just ask. I'm sure you'll get alot of good opinions here.

    @FranC , I went ahead and tested the carrot cake mix. It’s got another week to steep. Right now I’m getting buttery frosting, a little carrot and cake. Not much spice. Hope spice stays down and the carrot and cream cheese come through next week

    It appears I called it Chocolate Cereal
    Cereal 27 1.5%
    INW Biscuit 1%
    Cap NY Cheesecake 2%
    HS Australian Chocolate .5%
    VT Chocolate Mousse 3%
    INW Custard 2%

    Bit more flavor than usual for me.
    Was looking at this and am wondering if yogurt could be subbed for NY CC? What do you think? It sounded good to me.

    :)

    I don’t see why not. It would be maybe less sweet. You get the creamy from the custard

    Which Carrot Cake was this, Mel? I tried going back to your posts to find it, but I can't. :confused:

    Any raisin flavor coming out? Raisins and Cream Cheese frosting are a MUST in carrot cake for me. ;)

    I'm going to mix your recipe as soon as I figure out what to sub for the mangosteen.

    Haven't a clue, as it's not in my crates, but

    "Taste. The mangosteen has a hard, purple skin and very flavoursome flesh. The flesh is white, sweet and juicy. The refreshing, sweet taste is reminiscent of banana or peach."

    Personally not a fan of banana, so if it were me, I'd sub a peach or two.

    The only yogurt I've tried just about made me puke, I'm the wrong one to ask.

    Can't vape peach. Next choice?

    Liam Davey's Notes on VTA Carrot Cake from the Platinum one-shot range

    Tested @2% 70/30 ONic Bonza 0.14 dual coil Ni80 in VV Pulse.

    VTA Description “A moist and delicious carrot cake, that’s full of flavour which consists of soft baked carrot cake with coconut, walnuts, and spices.”

    24hr Slight Carrot and butter cream frosting with an indefinable flavour in the background.

    11 Day Steep Definite Carrot Cake with a subtle Walnut and a Sweet and thick Butter Cream frosting including a slightly grainy texture as if you had just eaten some, increased in strength from 24hr test. I don't believe this is going to change any more

    Usage Use at 4%-6% as for a Primary Carrot Cake flavour in a Mix, 6% will also give you that delicious Carrot Cake as a full Single Flavour. Use 2%-4% for a background flavour, at 2% you will get a subtle walnut Carrot Cake with the butter cream frosting being prominent. Use 1%-2% as an accent, 1% is where you would use it to get that awesome Butter cream Frosting with an indefinable background flavour that should add interest to cake mixes. Use in cake type mixes for that butter cream frosting or use as a one shot at 6% for a full Carrot cake.

    VTA Recommend 4-6% in a Mix – One Shot Stand-alone 6-12%

    It was nice having the taste of Raspberry back in my White Raspberry Cheesecake. Filled the tank today and the raspberry was gone again. Totally frustrated the tank got emptied and the remains of the mix went down the drain.

    I personally don't care for cheesecake flavors or ice cream flavors in a vape. I successfully subbed FLV Greek Yogurt in a Raspberry Frozen Yogurt recipe and it was good.

    Maybe add .5% INW raspberry malina or 1% Inw raspberry shisha to boost the Purilum?

    I almost think the yogurt was Cap but not sure.
    I had done a little research before buying a yogurt flavor so I went with FW. It got some good reviews and comparisions, but this was a while back.

    We shall see how it turns out. How long a steep for the mix with the Cap NY CC @2%?

    :)

    Thanks Pam. I don't like greek yogurt in RL but who knows about a vape. I will put FLV on my wishlist.
