Not really... I did it as an experiment and learned something about too many flavors cancelling each other out (it was less than 20 ml... not a big deal)
I mentioned this once awhile ago on another thread. Years ago I was a color matcher (color concentrates for plastic). So I was a bit of a wizard with colors at one time. Anyway, I often mixed a hodge podge of colors together. In all cases, it ended up as olive drab (military green). Didn't matter what went into the concoction. That's where it always ended up. Flavors, I believe, is the same. Mix enough of them together and it ends up as drab.

    I’ll just wait. I have plenty other stuff.
    Story about RJ. We go back a ways (God bless her precious heart). I'll give the short version. Heather came out with a new flavor (it was actually a mistake and she accepted my juice name...Serendipity). Well, truthfully it was a God awful flavor. Made me nauseous. I thought to myself they made way more than one mistake with this juice. I was curious if I was the only one who thought this. So I PM'd RJ and asked her what she thought. She loved it! Was her go-to juice for a long time. I knew then this woman was impossible to displease. :)

    I mixed Cantrips by Shyndo last night, except I subbed FLV Cream withFA Fresh Cream. So I guess I didn't mix Cantrips, but something close to Cantrips. I'll steep it a week and see if I like it. I'm working on a peach recipe, using FA White Peach and CAP Yellow Peach, and trying to get Blueberry (I know, blasphemy lol!) to work where I enjoy it. First try on the Banana Nut Bread/Blueberry recipe looks like this:
    Lm
    TFA Banana Nut Bread 4%
    TFA Blueberry Extra 3%
    FW Blueberry 3%
    TFA Bavarian Cream 2%
    FA Bilberry 1%
    FA Lemon Sicily .5%

    Flavor percentage is high for me at 13.5%, alot of that is the blueberry weakness. After it steeps, I'll post whether it is a fail or a keeper. Hope it's a keeper, really want to enjoy a nice e-liquid with blueberry in it.

    Afternoon folks. I'm just ending my lunch at work and thought I'd try to get caught up. I'm really liking the pineapple wafer recipe I made and plan on mixing a bigger bottle of it tonight when I get home.

    Still haven't checked if I have that wafer.
