I just had a DUH moment when I was making a "one-shot blend" of all the flavorings used in the Nick Evans Lemon Meringue Pie recipe. Made enough so I can make 300mL of eliquid without having to measure each flavoring out each time I make various size batches.

The reason the mix was bitey to my lips and my nose when first made...is because both the VT Lemon Meringue Tart (used at 6%) and the VT Pudding Base (used at 0.5%) have alcohol in them. :facepalm:

I'm surprised I didn't also get the headache at the back base of my head that I usually get, if/when I vape eliquids with alcohol in them, before I let them breathe for several hours. Kind of surprised, too, that the 30mL I made got smooth and mild enough overnight, even with the cap on it.

Just wanted to let others know who are planning on making some. The ingredients are soooo tiny on the bottles, I missed them before when I made it.

    Well,I met my goal of at least one new mix which I'm going to call Granola Crunch. It will be my first mix with TFA Crunchy Cereal. I used the scale for this one. Gotta get used to it. Needed 1 flavor from 4 different cases but they were easy to find so no big deal.

    My next endeavor will be to pick a mix for tomorrow. I'll save the rest of the stuff I have for ideas then and settle into vaping up some of the stuff already mixed and very steeped.It will be fun to have a couple new ones to look forward to and when I get the next urge to mix I have plenty of ideas.

    BCF has a bad habit of removing flavors from their site when they run out. You can email them and find out when they expect to have more.

    Morning all!

    What’s your fav ADV’s?
    I always keep a big bottle of TFA's French Vanilla Creme (10%) and vape it every single day. Another every-day vape is TFA Strawberry Ripe (5%), Juicy Peach (5%), Mango (5%) and Ripe Banana (2%). This (17% total) is by far the largest percentage I mix.

    Those two mixes are never misses for me. I also keep a tank filled with Peppermint (5%) and Koolada (2%). It's a great palate cleanser.

    Other than that, I rotate quite a few different things, mostly very simple one- or two-flavor mixes. I generally have about six setups going at a given time. I've started experimenting with the "what can I make" function, and that has been enjoyable.

    Thanks for sharing that. I plan on making some when my order arrives and will make sure to leave the cap off for a while.

    I'll be curious to hear how you come out with the granola. I mixed what I called mocha granola bar but it didn't come out very good. I haven't gone back to the granola since then.

    You have to go light on the granola.You probably used too much. I've already mixed a couple successful granola recipes. Believe I used .75% in both on the Granola.

    Ugh! Now I’ll have to wait for them to get it back in :mad:. Does anyplace else carry it?

    TY :). I would have been looking for diy sites on ELR. I usually use BCF, occasionally ECX. I’ll have to cross check my list against what I can get there
    Do you have the Flapper Pie in your cart at BCF? I think they're out of stock.
