Anyone using WF Coconut Custard?
I made a 5% sft of it and it's a little light on the coconut flavor after 1 week, I get the custard part... Wondering if steeping longer will bring out coconut.

You’ve not been feeling well either. I think the holidays in general are a hard time to get things done. Too much else going on. I’m just happy I had enough juice to get through, and some new ones ready to try for the new year. @FranC, don’t put pressure on yourself. You have a lot on your plate right now. That binder will get organized when the mood strikes you.

No pressure here,sweetie

I have sworn off getting any more cheesecake or graham. I always fall back on my old favorites so I'll just stick with those.

Because of my taste sensitive buds, I have found that most — not all flavor manufacturers will tell you if you ask. TFA is the only one I am aware of that has a website listing these muting ingredients. In addition to TFA, I know that I cannot vape LB, any of the WF flavors with SC in it, VT is iffy as they claim they do but was not specific other than sucralose in their LMP so I am holding my breath that I can taste Fizzy Sherbet. FW I ask only when I am considering one of their flavors which isn't often and they do respond. So far I do not have any issues with FA, INW, FE and JF. I think CAP may use Stevia in some of their flavors. As for stuff like EM they say they do not. I use so little of CAP flavorings and so far the ones I have used are not an issue.

Added: No issues with NF either plus a few others that escape my mind at the moment.

Your sensitive taste buds does not taste flavors with EM?

Sorry for the dumb question, but what is EM? I find my flavors quite muted and almost all of them lacking in sweetness.... So, I just purchased some sweetener from TFA in the hopes that will help... I have always just mixed a single flavor at a time but recently have dabbled in mixing flavors.... The only flavor that is quite noticeable to me is cinnamon as it's strong for some reason, but it is hard on my tanks.

Ethyl Maltol it’s a sweetner. People say it mutes flavors when mixed with other flavors.

Edit: cinnamon is one of the stronger flavors.

Thanks @FranC and @Heartsdelight I was assuming it was a sweetener but was not positive..... I am wondering why my taste buds seem to be different from everyone else's? I order flavors from TFA and I have tried other brands of flavors but they are all muted.... I can however taste banana fairly good but most others, not so much.

What percentages are you mixing with? That might have something to do with it. There’s someone on the other forum that mixes really high like 30% because he said his tasters are broken. When I mix his recipes I halved the recipe & still plenty tasty to me.

How was commercial juice for you? Where they muted too?

I am dumber than a bag of bobble-heads when it comes to this flavor subject … I usually mix about 10% … maybe I will take your advice and mix it higher..... Another strange thing I noticed is that there is no sweetness to many of the flavors.... For example, I ordered some TFA "Brown Sugar" and I was expecting it to be sweet...WRONG … Sure, it tasted like brown sugar but without any sweetness …. It's the same way with most of the flavors. Is that weird or what?

How long have you been vaping? Maybe try a higher % & take it from there.

For me certain flavors have a bit of sweetness. Most times I don’t add in additional sweetners. The flavorings themselves provide enough for me.

about 4 years or so … I have always mixed my own juices from day one … but I don't seem to get the intensity of flavors that everyone else seems to experience... Weird taste buds I suppose

Don't feel bad. All these folks think my tastebuds are weird

I don't know... I have never used commercial juices b4 …. I studied on this forum lots and learned how to mix and from day one I mixed my own.... Now I will say that with my first pen style mod, it came with a sample of tobacco flavored ejuice but I really can't remember what it was like.
