Thanks Anna. If I ever order one then maybe I’ll start at 10% and see how it goes.

Those recommended starting percentages are pretty accurate but as always, you can mix it to your own liking.

Chef's Lemon Coconut Cream Pie suggests 20% but I mix it at 18%. Any lower and it becomes too weak.

    What size are the bottles?

    The 3 concentrates I ordered were all 30ml. Curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to try 2-3 of them. That will be the end of that unless one turns into a must have and I have big doubts on that happening.

    Did I say I'm home again?? Got back a couple hours ago and been doing laundry and stuff.

    OSDIY carries some of the Chef's Flavours flavorings (30mL and 120mL sizes).

    30 mL - 13 of the flavorings @ $6.95/bottle

    120 mL - 8 of the flavorings @ $22.25/bottle

    The usual OSDIY discount codes (ECF and JFK) aren't valid though, per the deal they have worked out with CF to not sell their flavorings for below a specified price. But, the S/H would be less from OSDIY to you in the US.

    Yeah, my taste buds must be super sensitive now, or maybe I don't go higher because I don't expect to get benefit? I could give it a shot but I've been mostly happy with my one shots.

    The Donut King has NO chocolate. It is straight up glazed donut, like what you would get at Dunkin Donuts. The taste is almost EERILY correct, but I could mix that sucker at 2% and MAYBE then I might like it. But, probably not. I could try a small series of dilutions I guess.

    It's a one shot.

    It's quite a one shot actually... If you WANT to vape donut, I would give it an A plus.

    I’m in KC MO. I was thinking that when I used to order snuff from the UK that it took about a week.

    I saw a one shot on chefs that sounded interesting. It’s rhubarb custard humble pie. I think humble pie is the brand. Do the one shots really need to be mixed at 20%?

    I saw that percentage too!! I like lots of flavor but for a one shot???

    I think those high percentages may have a lot to do with the flavor concentrates they are using. I've been trying to replicate Lemon Coconut Cream Cake for over 2 years now and I haven't been able to do it. Maybe they use all CCW flavors - I wouldn't know because I only have Devon Cream and no others.

    Thought I would drop this here - it's the Date Square recipe I mixed up last weekend. It's pretty dang good! I think another week of steeping time and it'll be perfect:

    Ceecee's Date Squares
    0.40% INW Brown Sugar
    1.00% CAP Butter Cream
    0.25% FE Lemon
    2.50% WFSC Oats and Cream Cookie
    2.00% VTA Red Dates
    0.30% CAP Super Sweet

    Steep 2 weeks for optimal flavor. Omit Super Sweet if you like but I think it makes the flavors pop.

    I take it the Red Dates are sweet?

    I think the flavor does have some inherent sweetness to it but I still add Super Sweet to my recipe so I don't find it too sweet at all.

    I'm probably not the best person to ask (you know how I love my sweet vapes!).

    OK:lol: Anybody else got an opinion on Red Dates?
