    I have the reg FLV Fig and did not find it sweet. But I mixed it with FLV cranberry because I thought it was and I just do not like the combo at all.

    :)
    So I will put the plain Fig on wishlist.

    I used INW Creme Brulee in Creme Brulee Cheesecake, but have not done a sft. Tastes mostly of burnt sugar. I would only use this as an enhancer or background flavor.
    Thank you:)

    Is the Creame Brulee sweet?
    I don't remember sweet from it. To me it is also not real creamy either. I remember thinking it needed some boosting.

    And no, it did not make tank status yet.....mulling this one over.

    :)

    Been looking at this list and 1 thing about FLV flavors is that they are extremely concentrated. ie. The Fried Dough starting % is a whopping .02%. They say any more than that ruins the mix and that seems to be the theme through out these flavorings. The rest are saying best at anywhere from 0.25-.50 %.

    :)
    Some of theirs are very strong, lime is one I way overdid a mix with at 2 %. I use Milk and honey a lot at low % as a secondary flavor but feel like that one could be used higher, also have a pineapple which I actually found kinda weak...

    There is a Fig and a Sweet Fig in FLV. Which do you have?
    Plain fig. I like it, but for me, it takes forever to steep in and settle into the background where it belongs. Before then it’s like out of control fig preserves. It may be because I don’t care for them irl, but fig adds a nice dried fruit flavor much like I would expect from raisin or dried dates.

    The butterscotch is really creamy unlike most others. Its a real butterscotch and not a candy version. The caramel is the same way. Add butterscotch ripple to the order. It is the creamiest I have tried. Makes great ice cream and goes great in tobaccos like ry4's
    Added both. TY :)

    I don't think I mentioned it here but hubs sold his pick-up when he knew he didn't have much longer and I put all the money towards paying off the cc's in my name. I'm going to allow myself $50 of the $200 I got for a flavor order and put the rest toward a cc. Pretty sure I have them down to where I can make the payments on what I can get for SS now on his cause I'm not eligible. Then I get the fun job of calling the CC's in his name. Will have to wait til I'm in a grumpy mood....LOL. I really don't need any flavors just need to do something fun for a change.

    Actually sounds tasty to me. I never eat figs anyway.

    Just looked at Milk and Honey and the company says it can be used from 2% to 5%, but most of the reviews I have found says its best a little lower so yymv. What % did you use?

    Pineapple
    Bright real fruit pineapple, can be used at 2-4% as a standalone.

    :)

    It is. My MIL makes a cheesecake with minced dried figs, orange zest and ground toasted almonds in the crust irl. I made a juice recipe out of it. Yummy

    Does anyone find the TFA dx peanut butter fades over time? My bottle of Reece’s cereal is several months old. I lost it for a while, today it’s tasting not so pb :(. Trying to figure out if it’s the mix or my taster
    I haven't noticed any fade yet.

    I guess it’s the weather messing with my sinuses (hopefully not a head cold). It was warm yesterday. 71 this morning, then rain and it’s down to 52 now. Switching to eucalyptus mint for a bit. Maybe that will clear my head

    Milk and honey I have used up to 1.5 in Milkshake Base recently but have used in a number of other recipes at .5 to 1% to go along with other creams. I like it.
    The Pineapple I think I did 5% sft and used in a mix and it was mostly just not what I was looking for at the time, too much of a cooked taste.
    To elaborate, cooked pineapple is bland to me.

    Saved that to mix. Sounds yummy. At this rate, I’m going to have to set aside a whole day for mixing just to catch up.

    Maybe others should chime in on the INW Cream Bulee as mine I don't think I trust because it was used in trying to make a cheesecake and it just all taste like water now. Very non descriptive and just not worth keeping, imo.

    Tried a few of my mixes.

    Lemon Cough Drop — Received my BCF order yesterday so mixed this up. I am normally not a S&V vaper but gave it a go. I was pleasantly surprised how much I like this. Thanks PJReid for your medicine juice.

    Fran’s Cereal Bites — I did not have the pom so mixed with the rhubarb only. I do like rhubarb juices and so naturally enjoyed this one very much. Thanks Fran for sharing the recipe. I need to put WF Mascarpone on my to buy list so that I can try The Cheesy Rhubarb Bar.

    1 2 3 Cranberry Sprite by ID10-T — for a very easy 3-flavor recipe it is quite good. Amazing what three flavors can do. 1-2-3 Cranberry Sprite

    Cinnamon Burn Victim Survivor by ChemicalBurnVictim: Wasn’t quite sure if it would be too much cinnamon for my taste. Turned out it is very good and I can see myself getting addicted to it. Uses CAP Cereal 27, FLV Cinnamon Crunch and FLV Rich Cinnamon, one of the more expensive FLV flavor but oh so good. FA Cinnamon Ceylon should be a good swap for Rich Cinnamon. Cinnamon Burn Victim

    Swashbuckle Shake (Coconut Rum Shake) by ID10 — Creamy coconut flavors with FA Jamaica Rum is right up my alley. The only change I would make for my taste is to up the Jamaican Rum a little. Even without the additional rum really like this one. Swashbuckle Shake
