Is the Honeycomb Custard real sweet? I presume there is Honeycomb in it — maybe VT.
No it’s not real sweet. This recipe is free for those who want to mix instead of the convenient one shot. Most of Nick Evans recipes are free. You got it! It does use VTA Honeycomb ;)

OK,I have the 2 orange flavors plus my AP in my cart at Chefs.Already have the Gin and Tonic. Think of anything else I might need????

I was looking at my last Chefs order to see if I bought anything that may interest you. Most of what I received are not in your wheelhouse. I will hopefully be mixing Brekkers, Marzi Malone and Enjoy tomorrow. I will let these steep for 3 days or so but still feel they may not be for your taste. If you want to try some other custards such Custard Pi and Vanilla Custard plus a few of the VT and possibly MB Panna Cotta they may work for you.

FAUK Blends
Brekkers
Cornish Cream Tea
Custard Pi
Vanilla Custard
Lemon Zest (spare)
Marzi Malone

VT
Cherry
Cucumber
Lime Cordial
Pudding Base

MB Panna Cotta
INW Cherries
FC Enjoy

Honeycomb Custard

Thanks. I now know why I did not save this — I am missing three flavors. I cannot use the one shot because of the CAP super sweet. Need to give this some thought

    I already checked out at Chef's but think I'm good on Custards. You can let me know on the Panna Cotta for a possible future order.

    I am considering the Rhubarb one if Hitt can tell me it's not wicked sweet.

    I ordered one, @FranC . It may have been a different maker than Hitt's. I would imagine that with like, custard in it it would be somewhat sweet, but I don't know.

    I would try far less flavoring, probably. And some steeping. When I use one shots they do sort of seem to get less sweet after steeping. Some sweet is there but not so much in your face there, kind of thing. Good luck.

    LOL I was greatly aided in my purchasing in that I hate all citrus (usually) most strawberry, and watermelon. Not to mention most nuts, and I am somewhat selective about pastry. Grape is RIGHT out.

    Also the ide of fruit and menthol makes me want to die.

    LOL now I am wondering how I ordered as much as I DID.

    Someone needs to make a mango lassi one shot dang it!!!!! This void needs to be filled. LOL Angie at Freedom Smoke USA was gonna look into a juice. I should bug her.

    Good luck to you too,Anna.There's several favors I can't vape either and a few I just can't taste. I did order the Rhubarb and Custard One Shot but I do intend to mix my own. I may actually do that tomorrow with the nice 3 flavor recipe @NotSoMini posted

    That sounds good. I don’t have warm custard though.

    Unless you are in a hurry for FLV Cranberry, you can have mine. I bought this for a HIC recipe that called for TFA and of course I cannot vape the TFA version. If I remember correctly the FLV version is more like Ocean Spray Cranberry.

    Edited: I just saw your post that you checked out with Chefs.

    I have the FLV Cranberry.just bought a back-up bottle. It's a decent cranberry to me and doesn't fade.It also doesn't turn sweet like the TFA does.

    I haven’t tried the flv. Maybe I should put it on my wishlist.
    It's the best one I've found for my tastes. TFA is tart only for a few days and then gets very sweet to me. Cap is just to sweet period.

    Commercial WS-23 is a 30% liquid concentrate. Koolada is a 10% liquid concentrate. Koolada is actually icier than WS-23, but the difference between a 30% concentrate and a 10% concentrate makes the WS-23 brain freeze icy if used at the same % as Koolada. Koolada is 150% the strength of menthol and WS-23 is 75% the strength of menthol. The 30% concentrate of WS-23 is 1.5% icier than Koolada.
    I recently bought some ws-23 in powder. I'm doubting on how to mic it with pg... I want to do a 30% solution but, how do I do it? By weight/weight? By weight/volume? I mean, that I want to mix some solution I could put 30 grams of ws37 and 70 grams of PG. That would be a real 30% solution by weight but, I don't know if that is the right way to do it. Another way to do it is to put 30 grams of ws23 and then add PG to complete 100 ml... But, as we know pg has a different specific gravity than water and a gram of PG occupies more volume than water making the two different made solutions different in both volume and weight... So what's is the right way? Thanks is advance for your answer.

    I'm happy to receive this report. I thought the recipe sounded delicious and already had the flavors I was missing for it in my cart at Chef's, and now I will place the order with even more confidence.

    I think my taste buds are coming back, by the way. I'm going to mix a bunch of boozy recipes for them soon. In fact, I just bit the bullet and ordered 30mls of SC Cranberry with that goal in mind. Someday I want to be vaping a Sea Breeze. I love that drink, but it's too hard on my stomach in liquid form. Wouldn't mind a vapable Snakebite, either, come to think of it. Hmm.

    I do have a Sea Breeze recipe that I thought was really good last year. I might change a few things when I mix it again. IDK for sure.

    Fizzy Sea Breeze
    Aurora (FA) 1%
    Cranberry (SC) 3%
    Lime Tahity (Cold Pressed) (FA) .5%
    Pink Guava (Flavorah) 1%
    Ruby Red Grapefruit (Natural) (FW) 1.75%
    Russian Vodka (VTA) 5%
    Soda Base (SC) (Real Flavors) 2%
    White Grapefruit (INAWERA) .25%
    WS-23 30% .5 to .75%

    This will be close enough. Make your dilution by weight. If you want about 30mls, I'd mix 9g of crystals, with 21g of PG (for 30%.)

    Only got two new flavours with my last nic river order. Played with INW Shisha Raspberry today. Found it a very fresh raspberry tasting at 0.5% in a mix. It goes well with PUR Raspberry

    I also got PUR Boysenberry - that's tomorrows mixing toy ;)
