Random DIY mixing and More

I'd try a cherry but I'm not sure there is a good cherry flavoring out there. Seems they all taste like cough drops.

I hate the "cough drops" cherry. Anna always says there is no such thing as a good cherry (she might be right) I'm hoping for a decent black cherry myself.

Just curious as to what you bought the bergamot for? It's a bit of an odd flavor. I got it for free on an order once. I knew what it was because they use that flavor in some Swedish snus.

I am so curious about that flavor... how would you describe it? I got this pre-made tobacco juice that has this interesting "spice" flavor but can't figure out what it is (curious if it might have bergamot)

I learned a lesson today. Was doing the "flush coil with unflavored base" routine and noticed after a couple draws (still could taste the other juice just diluted) that it tasted better (it was lemon cookie with vanilla custard) I suspected I've been mixing my flavors too strong so going to dilute all my juices a bit. I guess sometimes "less is more".

I call it a tease factor. Get it to where you like it and then back off a touch. Makes the vape more durable.

Just noticed I ordered two bottles of the eggnog. Didn't meant to. Sure hope I like it.

Cream by FLV is on my wish list. I hear it's supposed to be a good one..

No test vaping today! Just gonna enjoy my ADV all day. I did mix more Honduran Raspberry and Mixed Berry because the wife is running out already. I guess those recipes work! I also mixed a Honduran Strawberry the other day so that one will get tested soon. I also have blueberry, peach, grapefruit, and coconut on my BCF wish list. I'll pick those up next week and try that with the Ligero.

Did you settle on a recipe for those, Raspberry and Mixed Berry? If so I need the recipes.

Fran, it's a real simple recipe that I plan to use for many fruits as follows...


HONDURAN FRUIT RECIPE

Honduran Ligero (Stixx Mixx) 8%
Fruit (Your Choice) 3%
Sweetener (TFA) 0.2%


Use whatever fruit or combination of fruit you like. And you can always adjust the level of fruit to suit your tastes. 3% seems to work pretty good in this household. You may find a level better for you. The sweetener is optional too. I find a couple drops helps bring a little life to the fruit (like sugar does with real fruit). Not enough to make it sickeningly sweet though. So far I've used it with melon (mostly honeydew with some cantaloupe added), raspberry (half FW and half FA), and TFA's Berry Mix and it's fantastic. So simple. I'm assuming it will work well with many fruits and why I have strawberry queued up with plans to also try it with peach, grapefruit, coconut, blueberry and eventually lemon/lime and some of those "oddballs" you told me about. I don't find 8% Ligero to be overwhelming in the least. It's a mild NET.

You're the Cream Queen so at some point you might want to add just a touch of cream to your recipes. I wouldn't think it would need much. The idea is to keep this recipe kind of light and refreshing as an alternative to heavy custards, yogurts, cakes, n stuff like that. I plan on trying a little cream just out of curiosity but that is down the road after I try all these other fruits (my cream knowledge is still in the ignorant category) It would be kind of nice to have a large rotation of just fruit flavors.

One other recent Stixx Mixx observation. I had been using Nicaraguan Viso (Stixx Mixx) with my chocolate stuff. But I found it leaving a not-so-pleasant aftertaste (I believe Hitt had a similar experience with Nicaraguan Viso). Instead, I have gone to Havana Primed (Stixx Mixx) and it is a much better option.

Got it, thank you. The simplest cream of all is my favorite, Fa Fresh Cream. You should grab a small bottle at BCF in case you get an urge to try a simple cream.

I'm in the messy process of trying to better organize my vape stuff but I'm going to try to get a couple of the Honduran Fruit recipes mixed tomorrow.

I'll consider myself warned. Outside of the teas I've only mixed one of the NETs which is the Whiskey Cavendish.I haven't tried it yet.

I already have FA Fresh Cream on your recommendation.

Ever since I organized my flavors in that thingie I haven’t wasted any time looking for bottles.

Oh, that is good.

That is good also. Searching forever bites.

It borders on ridiculous.

I still don’t have my flavors organized and it’s awful trying to find anything. My vape cabinet needs to be mods and tanks only as it’s almost full with just those. I need another cabinet for just DIY so I’m on the hunt for something cheap.

I got tired of picking up two dozen bottles before finding the one I want. Finally put them in one of those parts organizers with the little plastic pull out drawers. Inventoried everything with corresponding drawer number and threw it on a spreadsheet and sorted flavors alphabetically. Go right to it now. Each drawer holds 6 small flavor bottles.

I do! The problem was I made several rushed flavor orders around New Year's (the River City one was especially tense), and this fairly mundane one just didn't stand out.

It's essential to a couple of recipes I like and I have a feeling it'll work well in others I have in mind. Citrusy, boozy, slightly bitter vapes are among my faves. And, in a pinch, I can always use it to punch up a cocktail.

Please share if you come up with a good one.

I am so curious about that flavor... how would you describe it? I got this pre-made tobacco juice that has this interesting "spice" flavor but can't figure out what it is (curious if it might have bergamot)

I’ve always thought of it as a citrus flavor. I read somewhere that it’s used in earl gray tea.

Yes, it had an off taste using it solo. I still haven’t tried all the ones I got yet.
