Happy to say that I finished testing my juices. So when I go to try a new mix I find I don't have anything I'm really excited to try. I'm pretty sure I better mix soon.
Wait for a sale from VapersTek and you can get the SC Cranberry and the SC Lemon (same as FE Lemon.) I am sure there are other SC flavors that are worth buying but there is so little info out there about them that it is hard to know. They also carry Molinberry so you can get that Molinberry Pear that is the best pear out there now, IMO. They carry a good selection of Inawera and their nicotine is top notch!
I do too. Today is a mix of household catch up from being out of town (NOT hiring Himself as a house keeper EVER) and avoiding same noted chores. If I’d buckle down and finish, I could pick 6 to mix tomorrow. I have 60ml bottles coming Thursday, so ADVs can wait till then.

Trying your Blueberry Milkshake. OMG this stuff is super sweet. Why did you not warn me.?? Shame shame.

How much difference is there, brand to brand, in Marshmallow? I have FA that I use most frequently and am getting low, TFA DX (I think), and Purilum, which I have never opened. I am just wondering how much difference in my version of Heart of Andes you all think it would make to sub the FA Marshmallow for the TFA or the Purilum.
@FranC - CAP Super Sweet is about 4 times sweeter than other sweeteners or maybe it just seems to be 4 times sweeter. LOL

I didn't think it was sweet. What percentage did you mix at? I know there's at least one other person here that likes it so I'd be interested to see if they think its super sweet.
ECX just posted this recipe to FB. I am wondering how I could sub to make a nice cranberry cocktail. I don't have CAP Cranberry and I don't have JF Pink Burst (a strawberry taffy from what I read.)
For an S&V, I could use TFA Cranberry. For the lemonade, maybe VTA Lemonade Clear and for the Tart Cherry, sub VTA Sour Lemon. No ideas for a sub for the Pink Burst though. Maybe a Raspberry flavor. IDK Maybe some FA Aurora would be good in a Cranberry Cocktail.

I use Purilum Marshmallow sometimes. It just a bit lighter than TFA and maybe a tad sweeter but not really big time noticeable other than the mouth feel doesn't get heavy after some steep time like tfa does.
This is Hic’s notes on FA Aurora:
This is mostly a citrus blend, sharper than most FA citrus flavors. It’s more like fresh
citrus zest than juice, with an emphasis on lemon. It’s not especially sweet, and it’s not
one to fade with steeping. Try spiking your FA-based citrus recipes with a little Aurora if
you feel they mellow too much as they age. Vaped standalone, you’ll taste a little
something else in the background. It’s hard to identify but reminds me of white wine or
gin - though subtle enough that it won’t interfere with use as a “citrus booster” in
recipes. This flavoring is naturally a bit cloudy and separates as it sits, so be sure to
shake it before you use it.
Oh yeah it's sweet(Cap Super Sweet). When a mix calls for 1 drop it means 1 drop. found that out the hard way--ruined a mix of mine recently. With others sometimes you have somewhat of a lee-way but not with this stuff. lol
Thanks! I am a HUGE fan of Aurora and use it a lot in summer vapes for a lime bite. It tends to add a slight perception of carbonation too. It is what makes my Cranberry and Gin On the Rocks special!

Thanks. I usually use FA Marshmallow but am almost out and have TFA and the Purilum. It sounds like I can safely sub in the mix. I do appreciate the help.
I would just do a tester with the Cranberry you have(FLV?)and with tfa ripe strawberry.(or whatever strawberry you have on hand).
Have you tried the pom pudding yet? I had to add some sweet cream and cap van custard. It had this aftertaste like the bb milkshake smelled so I am guessing the same stuff was used to make both. I hope the fix will work or down the drain it goes.
I’m testing the red date/pom/shisha orange/ mascarpone/pistachio mix. It still has 2 weeks to steep, but I think it has real potential. (@FranC , skip this. It’s good sweet to me, you’ll make an icky face if you taste it.) Needs to marry a bit more. Could up the pistachio if it doesn’t pop then.
Looks like ECF is messing the the posts again. Don't have a clue as to how the previous 2 posts of mine got into 1 post cause I did not do multipost.......sigh
It was a guess what to put together test based on a irl party food. I’ll post if you want, but it might need adjustment after it’s fully steeped. I’m still trying to figure out % on mascarpone, and red dates is new for me.Don't remember having see that recipe?
I have TFA, FLV, and SC Cranberry. The only one of the three that is S&V is the TFA. I did think about TFA Strawberry Ripe, which I do have. This might have to wait until after Christmas. Still think FA Aurora would be good in it.
I am going home for two weeks so have to mix up a couple of my ADVs for that trip. If I have time, I might mix up something using FLV or SC Cranberry and stick it in the cabinet to taste test when I get back.
