    that doesn't bode well.... just opened up my tfa chocolate and it smells like alcohol.....meh.....
    i think this one is TFA also Signature DX Milk Chocolate has a hint of chocolate smell.... and then this Jungle flavors cocoa smells like hot chocolate
    guess for now i'll use the dx milk chocolate, still trying to work on my pb choc cup....
    should I leave the cap off of the tfa chocolate for a while?
    Yes,I'd leave the cap off for awhile.

    I think I would try a blend of HS Australian chocolate and LB lava cake. LB is a thick choc syrup if kept low. Never tried the DX but tfa is just nasty

    I used to buy blue ice from Mt Baker Vapor, it was one of my faves.. but I could hardly taste the blue or blueberry, and was mostly menthol.. so I came up with this, and it is much better. Although I could drop the all the %s down a hair, except the menthol which is perfect.

    Total amount: 10ml (9.74g)
    Nicotine strength:: 50mg/ml
    PG/VG/H2O: 64/36/0

    - Nicotine base: 5ml (5.2g)
    - Zero PG portion: 0ml (0g)
    - Zero VG portion: 3.6ml (4.54g)
    - H2O portion: 0ml (0g)
    - Blueberry CAP - 7%: 0.7ml (0.73g)
    - Blue raspberry cotton candy CAP - 5%: 0.5ml (0.52g)
    - menthol FW - 0.5%: 0.05ml (0.05g)
    - sweet cream CAP - 1.5%: 0.15ml (0.16g)

    If you like it why change it?
     
    They like the crisp peppermint. The one that I mix for them is peppermint @20% tfa and ws23 @ 3%. Strong but that's how they like it.
    I do peppermint wintergreen and spearmint. Menthology been vaping it for ever it's the only flavor I like

    That kinda made me chuckle. I have 8 pv's in front of me with different flavors. I'd be lost without my variety. Goes to show how different our tastes are. There is no right or wrong:)

    That's a good question, it just seemed a bit too much flavor, but maybe I'm just not used to it. I'm teetering more towards not changing it.
    If you think you would like it better with less flavor then mix your next bottle that way. You can always add the flavor back in if you want to.

    I think i may just try that, or see how it goes at the end of this 10ml bottle. Sometimes I get into mind games with myself, second guessing especially, when I've done something well the first time. I made this recipe up in my head without even looking at other recipes, I just took a stab at what percentages might work well.. except the menthol. I looked at the reviews on BCF to see what %s people used.

    Most of my fav recipes are my own. I think it's great that your first one is something you like:)

    I don't see why it would matter. It should be fine and help to not lose screws if you accidentally loosen them too much.

    I haven't done any new mixing lately. I have noticed that the custard the quickening recipe has become really sweet with time. Almost too sweet for me and I like sweet flavors. It reminds me of a mix I used to do with pur sweet tobacco and butterscotch ripple.

    Any suggestions with what to do with lemon meringue tart VT? I was told this was kind of a standalone one shot, but I also have these flavors to work with.. lemonade LA, lemon Sicily FA, vanilla custard v2 cap, vanilla bean ice cream cap, yes we cheesecake INW, cheesecake graham crust tfa, sweet cream cap, Bavarian cream LA. Here's my idea so far.. Just making .... up
    Lemon meringue tart VT 6%
    Lemon Sicily 3%
    Yes we cheesecake 2%
    Vanilla bean ice cream 1%

    Is it okay to use magnetic screwdrivers when installing coils?

    Sure, won't hurt a thing. But if the screws are stainless steel, probably won't be any advantage. Most high grade SS is non magnetic. (Than again, I rarely remove them, just loosen enough to get the leads under.)

    How long do you guys tend to let your creations steep before they are ready to go? I was hoping it would be more of a mix and go kind of thing but all this talk of 2 week to a month steeping.... My flavorings should be here today, and my brother gets home from college tonight, was hoping to have a bottle waiting for him.
