    Somewhere between here and there
    I was looking through an old box of stuff in my cabinet and found four bottles of unopened flavoring from totally wicked. I wonder if they are still good. That had to be from somewhere around 2010-2011.

    For as little as you spend on VG ($6 a year?), I would think a quality product from a reputable supplier would be most important, no? :)
    well yes, but price too
    bulk apothecary is where I bought from last time, it's kosher usp

    right now i'm looking at nic riv, $14 + a little over $7 shipping....

    lol well that only took 5 years :lol:
    finally used up all of my vg (1 gallon)
    still have about half a gallon of pg left
    need to buy more vg
    so who has the cheapest? While bulk apothecary has a great price, I'm not about to pay for their shipping ($13 for a gallon)

    Just get a liter when you order flavors, to get to free shipping. :)

    I guess my thinking is you have based all your recipes and vaped all your juice using BA VG. Why take the risk of changing lanes to save $1 or $2 a year? What if someone else’s VG isn’t exactly the same?

    I have flavors from that era, they taste fine to me, none of the flavors from them anymore though. Got rid of the old ego-T kits a long time ago.

    so I tried making a macaroon vape
    eh, it's ok, maybe after it steeps
    right now it's got kind of a lemony dirt hint to it....maybe less almond?
    TFA Meringue 5%
    PUR Cookie 5%
    TFA Toasted Almond 5%

    I tried to help it out by adding
    5 drops of PUR Super Sweet
    5 drops TFA Butter
    3 drops TFA Coconut Candy
    to a 50ml bottle

    it's good but ... still a strange taste to it, which i'm assuming is the toasted almond, I haven't really used it that much....

    What are your favorite WF flavors, (to anyone) I don't have any at all, I did put the Caramel butter on a wish list, but I am just wondering what I am missing.

    Another vote for the WF Hazelnut & Cream. I use it singly @ 6%. Two friends love it singly, too, at 8% in their DIY.

    I also like & use the Flapper Pie in Nick's Lemon Meringue Pie recipe. Haven't tried it in anything else yet though.

    Their Banana Candy is sweet, and the taste, to me, is spot on to the Runts Banana Candy and the Banana popsicles that I used to love as a kid.

    @FranC , I don't mind sweet at all, as long as I can taste the flavors in the recipe, too. I have a retail cran-apple liquid that I can't vape (think it's made by Loaded), because sweet is all I taste. No luscious cranberry or apple... They might as well have simply waved the flavorings over the liquid bottle, because damned if I can taste anything in there other than... Obnoxiously, S-W-E-E-T!!! :grr:

    Yeah, I need a good cran-apple (or even cran-grape) recipe. I want sweet *and* tart! :wub:

    I don't get around much anymore and saw that @WhiteHighlights shared my Cran-Apple recipe. I am glad because I might not have seen this. It is one of my favorites and is, IMO, better with Cranberry (SC) than with TFA though the TFA doesn't turn super sweet on me the way it does with @FranC. If you wanted the juice more tart, you could try adding 1% 10% Citric Acid Solution. VTA Granny Smith Apple is tart enough for me.

    that banana candy is awesome :D I also mix it in equal parts with tfa banana and tfa banana ripe to make a really nice banana flavor
    I actually like a few of theirs
    croissant, deep fried pastry dough, and mascarpone cheese are necessities for me :)
    angel cake is ok but it's very dry

    I know, pretty hard to swallow that high shipping cost. Just trying to add perspective. It's still very inexpensive when amortized over the 5 years.

    I'm kind of regretting not getting in on the zenith coil deals. I have several boxes of different resistances but am preferring the 1.6. I guess I'll keep an eye out for the next sale.
    I like the 1.6 also and the .8 almost as well.
