Always wondered how cola vaped.

I've used FE Cherry Cola as a one-shot, pretty close approximation at around 5%, a touch of Pink Champagne adds a little bubbly feel.

    greetins mixers!

    mixed these couple mixes. i haven't sft'd everything. and i'm still feeling everything is muted as i;m used to oneshots. I'd love some comments, suggestions on steeping, additions, subtractions, criticism ...

    the first is my own attempt to come up with something, the second is based on my favourite ADV, which i'm trying to find an alternative for, despite it being quite affordable on account of iffy contents (sucralose, citral, linalool) - english link Comprar FLAVOUR WHITE KING 10ML | DAMPFLION CHECKMATE por solo 8.50€

    spicy black tea mellowed and sweetened
    Black Tea (FA) 5.00
    Blueberry, Wild (TPA) 2.00
    Cactus (Kaktus) (INW) 4.00
    Cardamom (FA) 0.04
    Fuji Apple (FA) 1.00
    Grape, White (FA) 2.00
    Lavender (FA) 0.04
    Marshmallow (FA) 0.04
    Mixed Mint (INW) 0.04
    Spearmint (Flavorah) 0.08

    cactus sweet and sour (need cool/ice, TFA SOur or something, prbbly layers for key flavours too)
    Cactus (Kaktus) (INW) 4
    Grape, White (FA) 5
    Mandarin (Tanger) (FA) 3
    Fuji Apple (FA) 2
    Ginger (Flavorah) 0.25
    Spearmint (Flavorah) 0.75
    I notice you have Spearmint and Apple in both your recipes. I dislike Spearmint and can't taste apple so I'm hoping someone else can help you.

    Good morning random folks.:) Have you any plans today?

    I cleaned another 13 plastic 10ml bottles this morning and two tanks. I need to remember to only mix 5ml sft. I dumped out quite a bit of liquid today.

    I have thoughts of going to the basement to organize hardware but it’s gotten overwhelming and I’ve come to the realization that everything isn’t going to fit in the two tubs I bought. I wish I had shelves or something where I could keep it out and visible so I could just randomly grab a mod or tank. I don’t think my wife would like me having a mock vape store in the basement.

    I'm sure you have a ton of stuff you'll never use again once you bury it in your tubs. Why don't you just sell some?

    This is what I have in my basement for storage, but really could do with a 3rd cabinet really.

    I bought spearmint a long time ago but never did anything with it. I’ve only tried black tea in the one recipe and didn’t finish the bottle.

    I know from experience that you have to watch using too much cactus. I tried mixing the Grack recipe and the amount of cactus used gave it a really funky taste in my opinion. That recipe used 2.25% so I can’t imagine using 4% in a recipe.

    Because I’m a pack rat and a hoarder at heart.

    Those are nice. I like that they have doors. I would need ten of those. I have one tall cabinet in the basement that mostly holds my mixing supplies and mixed recipes. My guitar amp is on the bottom and takes up a fair amount of space. I could move it out but like keeping it in there to keep the dust off of it.

    I like them because of the doors, so keeps the light off my juices, and I like what's in side, is out of sight, out of mind, so my wife doesn't see how much I have all the time lol, also they was only $35 from target, is better than have tubs cramped full of stuff, which can never find what you want.

    Well, you folks motivated me. I mixed a sft of sugar loaf pineapple, added some lemon trinity to some already mixed cheesecake base, and mixed a sample lemonade mix.

    I mixed the sugarloaf at 6% which might be a little strong but it has great flavor just like real pineapple to me. It’s juicy with just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. I’m picturing a pineapple cake recipe. I’ll have to look through my notes on cakes.
