Tasting notes are great reference but you have to remember that everyone does not have the same taste.
Yikes, that's dear. This is why I got some VTA Jam It from Chef's Flavours. It's supposed to turn any fruit/berry into a jam. We'll see.
Oh, I know. The ideal would be to find a reviewer who more or less shares one's palate. But a set of notes from a single reviewer can be still be very useful even if that person's taste is very different from one's own.
Back to oranges, both ELR and All the Flavors suggest mixing INW Shisha Orange at a lower percentage than FA Orange. Does this jibe with the experience of anyone here?
ok well I must have really liked this
vaped all of the 20ml I made last night... may have to make a bigger batch
You guys figure this would work as a plain old vanilla milkshake?
TFA Vanilla Swirl - 3.5%
FA Fresh Cream - 1.5%
FLV Cream - 1%
Anything you'd add or remove?

i should have gotten more than 2....I was at a dollar store (there's none around where I live) for work and found these little plastic "toolboxes" managed to get over half of my flavors into one of them (15ml bottles) the other one I threw some of my premade store bought juices in....now i'm kicking myself for not getting more...for a buck couldn't say no...they're like about a foot long and 1/2 foot wide and 1/2 foot deep....I can easily fit 2x120ml bottles in them laying longways and a 2oz with dropper cap in laying down, could maybe fit a 2oz bottle with normal cap on standing up.
I had the same reaction to HS vanilla ice cream. I tried it in a mix that I'd previously used cap vanilla bean ice cream. I just found the HS really malty. It's on my sft list as I used 2% which may've been the problem
I read that this afternoon!
I settled earlier on 2% in the recipe I want to mix (Vaperol Spritz), instead of 4% FA Orange. Seems about right.
I don't have either of those Cream flavorings, so I can't comment on them. But, TFA descibes their Vanilla Swirl this way on Wizard Labs' website info for it:
"This is our vanilla custard flavor that has had the "Custard Notes" removed (the Acetoin & Acetylpropionyl). It is a very useful vanilla, good on its own, or used in blends." So, if you like TFA Vanilla Custard, you'd probably like it, too. But...as far as it being the main flavoring in a Vanilla Milkshake recipe, I'm not to sure about using it for that.
I've got a recipe of Bill's Magic Vapor, for his Vanilla Milkshake Base, if that'll maybe be of some help. I'll go get it and C&P it here.
@TylerA - Here's Bill's recipe for the Van. Milkshake Base. It may require more flavorings than you want though.
You can use it to make different flavored milkshakes, too. Just add whatever primary flavoring you want to it (ie. Strawberry, Chocolate, Blueberry, etc.). The % is up to you and your sense of taste.
All TFA flavorings:
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 10%
Marshmallow - 5%
French Vanilla Cream - 4%
Dulce de Leche - 2%
Sweetener - 3%
Koold - 1% (I don't like it though, so I omit it in mine.)
Bill was a firm believer in high total flavoring %, as a commercial mixer of eliquids...because smokers and/or former smokers needed it because of the dulled taste buds. You can definitely cut the % down though across the board. I use to cut all his % down by 1/3, about 2 years after I quit smoking. For the last year or so, I cut them in 1/2, and they're still very tasty to me.

I mixed a few testers and I'm letting this steep now (with 16mg nic (I vape MTL), so hopefully it gets a little bit richer in a week or so since I'm obligated to vape it with nic in it
) :TFA Vanilla Swirl - 1.5%
Shisha Vanilla - 1%
FA Fresh Cream - 1.5%
FLV Cream - 0.5%
Tasted pretty decent as a shake and vape. I liked the dairy taste of the FA Fresh Cream at that percentage, but found that anything higher than 1.5% on the Vanilla Swirl was way too sweet for me .. the Shisha Vanilla seemed to bring down the "sharpness" or "burn" I felt at the back of my throat from the vanilla swirl and made everything come together fairly nice.
Also made a fruity/berry mix (with 16mg nic):
FW Blueberry - 1.75%
FA Pear - 1.25%
FA Fuji Apple - 1%
FA Cream Fresh - 0.5%
Tasted good as a shake and vape as well, hopefully it steeps out decently. If it turns out well, I might add WS-23 to the next batch to see how that tastes.
I like DIY, but it sure gets taxing after awhile when you're a picky ...... like myself and cant find something you enjoy vaping.
I prefer mellow flavors, stuff that's too strong is an instant nope .. and unflavored feels too boring... ugh, the struggle 
Appreciate it, but I cannot use VBIC (at least the TFA version of it, havent tried others) ... I've tested at 2% and its extremely strong. I don't get the peppery notes that others do, but its just too strong or pungent for me :/
I don't know why I thought key lime waffles would be a good idea....I mean it's not terrible but it's not great either...
I take that back...no....sweet and sour waffles, not so great
I take that back...no....sweet and sour waffles, not so great
ok well now not so bad...I toned it down with a strawberry coconut waffle mix....now it's more tart than sour.... lol but i'm not doing that again, it's at least vapeable now
Isn't that how it always goes? lol.

At least it was salvageable!
