    I haven't used much nic salt but when I did, I didn't change my mixing percentages. However, I don't think I mixed it that high.

    I think I'm done buying pods for my orion dna and two quests. I feel like if I'm going to pay about $4 for a pod that it should last more than a couple weeks. I can build a coil on an rta for pennies and it lasts longer than two weeks of intermittent use. I'm going to pack them up and just use them for when I need a small stealth vape for traveling or something.
    The price of the pods killed any desire I had to try one.

    What kind of pod system? I hope thats vg nic
    I don't use pods, never have. I tootle puff an Erlkonigin at 1.1ohms. Most of my recipes at turned out at 60-70% PG, which suits the Erl well.

    Pretty much your recipe but I added gingerbread in a small dose.

    50% VG
    35% PG
    1% FA Caramel
    .75% CAP Sugar Cookie
    .75% CAP Buttercream
    5% TFA Kentucky Bourbon
    1% TFA Marshmallow
    2% TFA Sweet Cream
    4% TFA Vanilla Custard
    .5% CAP Gingerbread

    Yum! I have the gingerbread in my shopping cart. I’m sure that will make the flavor even better. Now I’m eager to place the order!! But I’m waiting until Memorial Day sales.

    Are you using just mint and marshmallow and if so, at what percent? I tried several attempts mixing something like this last year and none of them were good.

    This is the recipe I think @NolaMel was referring to. If I want mint, my go-to is my souped-up version of HIC's Heart of Andes.

    Neither of those recipes will help @IDJoel since he thinks the e-liquid was all TFA flavors. I have something somewhere in my notes that had wintergreen, spearmint, and peppermint. I will see if I can find that. I am not sure I saved it since I don't like spearmint much and haven't mixed with wintergreen.

    When I mix nic salts for a pod(juul) for other people, I always increase the flavor by 50% to 100%.
    If I was mixing freebase nic for a pod, I would also increase the flavor percents the same. To me it's all about the pods and not which kind of nic you are using.

    Love love Heart of Andes, especially since it’s very forgiving of subs. I almost posted your version after my guests left, but you beat me to it.
    That does look good, but this one is just 3 ingredients. Mine (if I could find the darn thing is just mixed mint and marshmallow). This one looks close to what I remember mixing

    @NolaMel - I haven't seen that three ingredient recipe before. It does look good and so simple too. Maybe @IDJoel could do something with that, subbing wintergreen for peppermint. The slight vanilla he is picking up could come from the Sweet Cream.

    I make Heart of Andes a bit differently than HIC but it is based on his recipe.

    I saved yours back when we all were discussing HIC’s. Since I can’t find my recipe, I may try the one I posted, and just sub mixed mint. Apparently ELR ate a few of my recipes (not going to admit to user error lol, but I should have double checked that it saved before I threw out the bottles with the recipe on the dang label). I have misplaced pages before, but my notebook hasn’t ever deleted anything :rolleyes:

    Vaping Dripping it’s real good now. I vaped it after a 1 week steep & I wasn’t impressed. This benefits from a 2+ week steep. It’s tasty now.

    I agree. It tasted much better after a longer steep. I still don’t know if I’d go back and order all those flavors if I knew what it tasted like before hand.
