It didn’t taste like much of anything to me the first time I taste tested it.

I don't think I'd taste anything either. That's only a total of 4% flavoring and none of the flavorings are very strong. Your 28PG/72VG may not be carrying those flavorings very well then. Also it's 12mg nic eliquid.

Maybe the person who created that recipe vapes a very low mg finished eliquid and a higher PG to VG ratio...so he/she doesn't need as much flavoring as you may. Just a guess though.

A couple people I make eliquid for, vape 13mg and 15-18mg. Both of them like double the total flavoring % that I use when I make the same recipes for me at 7mg.

    I’m sure you’re right. I am normally ok with recipes around 10% flavoring. I’ll try the bottle I have mixed again but will go ahead and mix a 2x bottle also. I think the person that wrote it was also at 3mg.

    Glad you're finally getting to settle down.:)

    Me too but oh gosh it's day 2 of 5 am. I was sitting here puffing on my vapes for some time (I turn them off overnight) before realizing they were turned off. Sigh. I don't think I've made that error before.... I also had a gigantor milk spill. Not fun. Hoping taking my am meds improves things. LOL.

    Can't vape cococnut and have no holy vanilla but I made note of the White Hummigbird as a use for some sweet rice.

    I may have a couple more inspirations for sweet rice. Will post later today. Having brunch with family — two more birthdays to celebrate.

    I’m in the middle of mixing and can’t find the recipe that I ordered the custard premium and Devon cream for. I remember that someone said you couldn’t sub in this recipe. Now I have the ingredients but can’t find the recipe. Anyone remember?

    Custard - The Quickening? It's on ELR.

    I’ve got a screenshot of that one but was thinking someone posted another one and then said that there really wasn’t any subbing on it. I’m going back in the thread to before I placed my first chefs order but haven’t found the post yet.

    I know for sure Custard - The Quickening author said no subs but I did sub the CC Devon Cream with JF Bavarian Cream & I’ve been loving it. I did order the CC Devon on Chef’s Birthday sale but haven’t remixed yet. That’s the only recipe I can think of that uses Fa Custard Premium & CC Devon Cream. I’ll go look at my screenshots to be sure though.

    Edit: I looked I don’t have any other recipe that uses those 2 flavors.

    Thanks! For some reason I was thinking that it was something else.

    I didn’t realize until now but I’m missing something else for the recipe.

    I finally got sick of waiting for my Zeus x from 3avape and filed a complaint with PayPal. It’s been over a month since I placed the order. I know they show it shipped but it hasn’t updated since 3-9. I think it’s lost. Maybe I can at least get my money back. If I’m reading the PayPal service agreement correct, they have 30 days to deliver purchased merchandise. If I ever speak of placing an order with them again, please slap me. I now know why I hadn’t ordered from them in over two years.

    How important is it to use FA vanilla ice cream in the custard recipe. I know I have two or three vanilla ice creams. I for sure have TFA, LB, and a toffee ice cream.
    I'd use the TFA. Don't think it makes any big difference.

    I found the post I was thinking of. I have a partial screenshot of the recipe. It’s a strawberry recipe that I needed HS cream and FA strawberry for. I have the strawberry coming but will need to order the HS. It doesn’t have the Devon cream or premium custard in it. I really need to record the recipes from the screenshots an get them off my phone.
