This looks like something I could really enjoy. I don't have the vanilla bourbon but I do have Kentucky bourbon and that aged bourbon cream. I might add a touch of one of the vanillas I have too, wondering if Shisha Vanilla would be a good option.

I think FW hazelnut is great, I feel it adds some creaminess to a mix even at low percentages.

There is no bourbon in Vanilla Bourbon nor is it a replacement/sub for ABC. It is the region where this vanilla comes from. This is not to say you cannot use it. ABC is very good. Shisha is always a good vanilla option. I have a bottle steeping with Vanilla Custard in it. So many possibilities with the base.

    DFS HHG RY4 has no tobacco presence. It needs to be boosted with FLV Red Burley — plus FLV Kentucky Blend for Cardinal. Be sure to use HHG RY4 v1 for a richer flavor. I will vape this bottle with v2 but when it is gone then back to v1.

    I've got the Kentucky and red burley on my wishlist as I've run into a few recipes that I'd like to try that have those in them.

    Get them. You will not be sorry. If you do not like them, I will buy off you. Just remember minimum 14 day steep for FLV tobaccos.

    First up is this recipe, who I don’t know to give credit to, but at least I have a screenshot of the recipe! Yay! All too often I wait too long to order and loose my notes or can’t find the source of the recipe. That is something I’m making a concerted effort to remedy.
    I’m really excited for this one. I’m assuming it’s minimal steep time since there’s lemon in it? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
    Also, I’m assuming at only 0.5% use, the sugar cookie is quite strong?
    Here’s the recipe as the screenshot was too large to upload:
    4% cap Italian lemon Sicily
    4% cap VBIC
    2% tfa van swirl
    2% cap van whip cream
    0.5% cap sugar cookie

    Wow, that looks (sounds) delicious! Damn, I could have sworn that I had the VTA, but these are the only apples that I have: :grr:
    - Granny Smith Apple (VTA)
    - Double Apple (Cap)
    - Fuji Apple (FA)

    I'll save this for later and check in on the thread. Thanks, @Heartsdelight !

    I was a mixin' fool on Saturday morning (Good thing, too, because by mid-afternoon, I was a 'migraine' mess & slept for about 12 hours :():
    • Truckin's Bourbon Cream (20ml)
    • @Skeebo 's Bourbon-Brown Sugar Milkshake (20ml) <-- Steep, please?
    • Ella's Shortbread Biscuit (20ml)
    • Kringle's Curse (Clone) (90ml, because I already finished the 50ml that I made about month ago)
    • Added 50% more flavor to @Skunk! 's Plum Tobacco, because I could barely taste it. :blush:
    • Mixed up 8oz of 15mg Nicotine base for mixing convenience
    • Lastly, experimented w/ @barkfunklerbunk 's LMT: Split the remaining leftovers into 2 bottles (about 7ml each), added a bit of Forest Fruit in one and Blueberry Extra in the other... Being the small, light, plastic bottles that they are, I accidentally knocked over the latter (barely even touched it :shock:), so it may taste more like I waved the BB Extra flavoring over the bottle. Yeah, there was no bowl under the bottle to catch anything... :lol:
    In all of this, I've totally forgotten to taste the Snickerdoodle and @Fidola13 's Cheesecake I made, which are both well steeped. I've got tanks to wash, so I may have to bite the bullet and build an RDA. ;)
    Forgot to mention, I like really light flavorings:)

    I've been wanting to mix for about 2 weeks now, and just have not had any free time. Maybe today is the day. I've been planning to mix a 30ml of strubarb custard, but with an extra % or 2 and maybe CAP v2 custard instead of CAP v1 custard.
    I’d love to hear your explanation on using the v2 CAP custard instead of the v1 CAP custard. I was under the impression (possibly I’m mistaken) that many like the v1 more. Please correct me if I’m wrong and like I said, I’d love to hear your opinions on the difference

    I think the FVIC VT is so far my favorite ice cream up to this point of me trying different ones.

    Not really much to explain except blindly experimenting. I haven't used the v1 until this recipe. So I can't comment quite yet on any differences. All I know is that the custard flavor really seemed to be lacking. But maybe it needs quite a bit more time steeping than 2 weeks for the custard to say hello.

    Does anymore know a decent sub for CAP vanilla whipped cream? I could’ve sworn I had this flavor but can’t find it (all the more reason to alphabetize my flavors). I do have TFA whipped cream and TFA vanillin 10%. Would that work? Any other suggestions? Or is this one that shouldn’t be subbed?
    ETA: I found it. It was labeled with a W on top, not a V!

    I have 2 FLV tobaccos but haven't used either as yet. Red Burley and Connecticut Shade. I have no clue at this point why I got those two.

    At one point I thought I had enough TFA peppermint to last forever. Mixing a 120ml bottle today and it came to my attention that I only have 20-25ml left. Big bottle next flavor order.Going on the wishlist so I don't forget.

    I think my latest bottle was 4 Oz. I go through SO much of that stuff with the Kris Kringle recipe, I was always running out. This bottle should last a while though.:)

    I really like the LMN# recipe but just keep making 15ml at a time because I don’t want to end up with 50ml if I get tired of it. I’ve gone through 60ml of it so far which is a lot of one recipe for me. I’ve already got too many 60ml bottles of stuff I’ll probably never finish. Oh, first world problems.

    So Holy Holy RY4 just tastes of vanilla and caramel?
