I think Shisha Vanilla is a good choice. But I’m sure others will pop in with their suggestions.
Yay, I already have the INW Shisha Vanilla! I'm glad my 226 flavors (good God, I never thought I'd get there) has at least one vanilla that everyone agrees on, because I haven't tested a single one of them yet (still waiting on bottles). I did make up a couple of mixes a few months ago out of curiosity (and for Science!), but nothing is blowing my skirt up yet.
Haven't organized my flavor stash with my 1 ECX and 2 Chef's orders yet either. In fact, they're still in the mailing boxes. Thank God I have a S_ _T ton of retail juice to vape until I get my S_ _T together.

My latest order put me at 275 flavors and I still have a wishlist going at bcf.
I mixed up base today, a process I complicated needlessly by insisting on incorporating a small amount of 6mg Pg and smaller amount of 8.5mg 65VG/35PG while maintaining the nic strength and VG/PG proportions I had settled on. It was all kind of loony but weirdly enjoyable. Much arithmetic was involved. A more tedious part was shaking up the nic. I pulled it from the freezer and stuck it in the warmest spot in my house (a toasty 64) for about an hour, but it was still super ornery about moving around. Getting the final mixture nicely combined was tricky, too. When the level goes down a bit, I think I'll toss in a marble to make shaking easier.
I also tested a few of the recipes I mixed. The arroz con leche needs . . . something. All I could taste was a bit of orange and a whisper of cinnamon. I know rice is fairly bland, but I thought I'd be able to tell it was there. Gonna up it and toss in some more rum raisin.
The Mango Blossom Macaron was noticeably mango-ey but I'm going to throw in a bit more almond. And the Vaperol Spritz was refreshing and orangey but needs more pizzazz, so I'm going to add a bit more Bitter Wizard and champagne. Maybe some more Fizzy Sherbet, too. A teeny dash of WS-23 to get a chilling effect? Perhaps.
The Xmas Pudding and Treacle Ginger Pudding were merely vaguely gingery to m. I had mixed them with a little Devon Cream, and I'm going to let them steep longer to see if I can taste it (and everything else) a bit better afterward.
I'm lucky right now: I haven't loved any commercial juice I've vaped, so my standards are very low. As long as I can taste something, I'm pretty content. God help me when I finally mix something I love.
One thing I've realized, though, is that because my taste buds are accustomed to commercial liquids, for the time being all my mixes need to be at fairly high flavoring levels and I've got to adjust recipes accordingly.

Can't wait to see if I can manage the faux Berserker. If I can, testing will become much more enjoyable, I think. These bridgeless atomizers are a pain.
Never tried one of those............
I tried some years ago before rtas were a thing. I didn’t know you could still get them.
Lets put it this way....I don't "remember" ever trying those.
I have a big stash of various atomizers for my golden oldy moldy years when I can't build or even install prewound coils, or I maybe run run out of drop-ins. Have bought them in "lots" mostly, when vendors were blowing them out on Clearance. Quite a few are the little shorty, cigalike diameter, 510 ones, but most are the JoyeTech eGo Mega Cone Shaped ones and Cylinder shaped ones. Only a few are bridgeless and the rest have the mesh bridge in them. They work well enough for me, to help with tweaking a recipe, when doing the 100DTT using them.
If you get the Berserker and it doesn't work out for you, I'll gladly send you some of the bridged atomizers. Maybe they'd work better for you than the bridgeless.
Oops...It just dawned on me, IIRC you ordered the Berserker from FT. So if you'd like to try some while waiting for it to arrive, I can go ahead and send some on Friday.

I do not know if I can help. Tell me a little bit about the arroz con leche — brands/flavors used, percents, how long steeped? How long did you steep Mango Blossom Macaron and did you deviate from the recipe?
I use HS Vanilla which was recommended by the guys that run the fogvlog on YouTube. And it’s lovely. I don’t get any peppery taste at all. A lot of people like HolyVanilla. Not sure the manufacturer tho.
