Hope you like the Cantrips. I really like mine.

I am very interested to hear how your peach and blueberry juices turn out. That banana nut bread with blueberry sounds yummy! I need to buy some of the banana nut bread flavoring!
I'll put my success or failure here. I love the sex pistols, random contribution of the day.

Awhile back, we talked about what I called my "Best Flavors" list (compiled from many hours of research) We all agreed that was a bad choice for the title of my thread. Now I'm almost done with that project and will create a new thread with the completed list. I need some help with the new title. I can't call it "popular flavors" because it wasn't based on how many recipes used each flavor (and specific brands) I'm thinking something like "Flavor/brand Suggestions" but would like to hear any other ideas.Most of my research is based on reviews, videos and input from people here on ECF.
Things my tongue likes? J/k, that has too much induendo. Would be an interesting title though, I'd follow that, I may try that in the lounge :p. I'd try listing things based on what flavors you've tried, and your personal experiences with them, likes, dislikes, flavor notes you detected in them, etc. Make it personal, show your passion, that's what attracts most people, a unique and genuine perspective. Just my perspective, blah blah peanut butter, blah, etc. :)

According to Bill's Magic Vapor (former commercial eliquid maker and longtime contributor on ECF about DIY), to avoid having a mix being cloudy after it's done...make sure the plain VG is the last ingredient you add to it. I found out several years ago that he's right.

Since some of you mentioned coffee... here's a few to consider:
(PUR) Caramel coffee and sweet milk

(FW) Cafe coffee (creamy)

(WF) Brazilian coffee

(VT) Arabica coffee (super strong!)

(DIYFS) Cafe napoleon

(VT) Coffee liquior (Kahlua)

I should add that I did not cover Tobacco or Liquor flavors... too many and way to subjective (and specific uses)
I like WF Brazilian Coffee on that list, it's strong, 1.5% is good.

I don't think you have been following this... I went trough all this before. I have not tried many flavors (I don't even have that many flavors) These are from many many hours of research from several sources (that's part of why I got so much criticism about the title "Best Flavors") Haven't counted but several hundred on my list. Look for my new thread soon.

To me, it’s to round out a peach. It feels more like a complimentary flavor, not a star
Yes, I also want to add apricot to peach but my main goal is apricot/pineapple jam (sentimental... grandma made it when I was a kid)

I've been following, just a suggestion on what I've seen work over the years. I guess if you want to compile a list of other peoples favorite flavors, that's an admirable goal. Lot of work necessary to accomplish this, but I wish you good luck in your endeavor.

    Yes. It stares back at me from the vanity table every morning, asking,”You gonna try me today, Chicken?” :lol:
    I need to investigate it and see what the scoop is. I was thinking maybe try it as a replacement in @FranC ’s biscuit or croissant recipe to see how it changes it. I don’t think a sft test would help me figure out what direction it needs to go. I’m not that strong of a creator. But, I think if I can figure out how it plays with others, I can get a start.
    Good idea

    I understand what you meant. :) There have already been quite a few similar threads started in the DIY Eliquid forum during the last 3-4 years at least. They're all still in the past pages of the thread. The first one was very popular for a while, but like the others...it eventually fell to further back pages, too. None have ever gotten "pinned" to stay on the 1st page. Just a few, more recent examples, from the many that you may remember over the years, too, are:

    From April 2018 - DIY Must-Have Staples

    From May 2019 - MUST Have Creams List

    From August 2019 - Flavourart fruity flavors

    Just working. So I brought my cat's bed into my office and put it on my desk. She crawled up in it and all is well. :rolleyes: I like the company in here while working.

    Dishes are done, laundry is done, birds/squirrels/chipmunks are all fed, meat is split and frozen (all done yesterday) so today I think I'll continue to pick up sticks in the yard during lunch and after work.

    OH! We assassinated the red wasp yesterday at the mailbox. He was making a nest underneath. I let my son do it so he could get some satisfaction after the thing stung him. That thing was HUGE. I'm sure our mail lady appreciates it too.

    Neat idea for your kitty:) So glad you got rid of the mailbox wasp.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Good morning mixers. I did get a bigger bottle of the pineapple wafer mixed last night. I just hope I don't get tired of it before I use it up. Work is still fairly slow for me but I have been getting a little bit here and there. I am dreading seeing my commission check for the month. I know it's not going to be good.

    I also went to the bank yesterday to make a deposit. I never thought I'd be leery of going to the bank. I had to sanitize when I got home and I just went through the drive through. Just the smallest of socializations can give you this virus. I'm not sure I'll ever be the same.

    To keep on topic...I need to come up with another recipe using the flavors I have. I need something different. I'll look on elr later.

    I hope Anna had fun!

    I'm ready for the virus to go away and things to get back to normal. Sick of it.

    The virus thing is getting to us all I think.

    I've been thinking of Anna too. Hopefully, she enjoyed herself.:)
