Thanks. I saw that right after I had posted. VTA Pudding wasn't showing up much on google.
I have that flavor. I bought it last year/end of 2019 and never used it. I guess I don't need any more flavorings this year until I try last years/this years purchases. I think most of them was on sale/discounted heavily and I was impulsive and purchased. So far I don't like VTA or Wonder flavors. I tried to like them but they are in the same category as TFA for me (not a repeat buyer). I won't be buying anymore. I really want to try the Sobucky flavors but need to use up some of the flavors I have now.



Flavor vendors/products I do like: Capella, a few flavorart, Flavorah (I know this brand will probably go away soon) some Inawera flavorings. I tried a few of river supply and they were acceptable. Purilum flavors were acceptable as well. Years ago I loved the SC at ecigexpress. I might have to go back to a sc (like sobucky) since it takes very little to flavor a liquid. I'll just have to keep the bottle open to let the alcohol evaporate.

What don't you like about VTA, Wonder, and TFA? I've had some TFA that I liked, but have only tried a small number of their flavors so far.

It's me. I don't think the products are bad or they would not be selling them. Taking a chemo drug destroys/alters/enhances the taste receptors. When I open a flavoring if I smell perfume I cannot use it. It's my experience and I have a hard time finding flavors I love. Coffee variants work well for me.

    Is the pudding base in Zazzie's blog? Because I would be interested in it. I think I might have more luck with puddings than custards.

    It’s not a recipe, it’s a single flavor.

    I just got cafe latte and another coffee flavor from gremlins. I need to try them. I liked cap cup a joe in a couple simple recipes I made.

    I guess your problem with flavors is worse than mine. I hope you end up liking the Sobucky flavors. For myself, I have several WF, TFA, and VTA flavors I like.

    That's too bad. I thought maybe they were too sweet for you or something.

    I may add a simple recipe with FLV Vanilla pudding to my mixing session. If I end up liking it I will need bigger bottles of both puddings.

    My next step to mixing is making my labels and getting them onto bottles. I may do that this evening.

    My deepest condolences on your loss, Bark.
    Don't know what kind of system we've created where one can't join in respect with their families to mourn, celebrate, the lives of their parents & family members! It sucks Bark & the only solace to be had is what life you shared, that which lives on as a part of you & those they've touched, and at last they are beyond the trivial follies of human kind. Point is you're not alone in your experience Bark, if this is any solace

    I'll probably order a few when they have a black Friday sale.

    I gotta say, saving most of my organization for work. I have a cucumber, an acai and an avocado flavor I'd like to use in something..... No idea what. I should peruse the blog some.

    I am JUST getting into custards. I have to be honest though I did not grow up in the US and puddings sound gross. LOL.

    Also, I can't mix yet. Got too many flavors here, that are good. I rewicked my Brunhilde and so that was nice. Great flavor.

    I got everything done! Talked to my little bro (in a fragile state) and emailed a few folks and well, I am caught up except for my trainings which I CANNOT do, as unfortunately, I can't log on for some reason. Since I don't get my cellphone yet (too overwhelming or something per my supervisor) I don't really get it. He is always using his or telling me to use it. I would consider it "handy" but honestly, I'm not sure I care. They can get done late, and I will email the helpdesk DURING the week, that's bad enough. Sigh.

    Don't know what is up with me really. I'm just all bleuuughh.

    Oh well. Yoga awaits. Heh.

    Yes @FranC I am cutting it close. At least my insurance is active. Etc.

    Good news on the insurance but it's not going to get you the meds you need. Hopefully, the call to your old dr will fix that.

    I got my flavor list updated and printed. I should be in good shape for a while. There sure are a lot of new flavors I’ve bought and not tried. There’s no way I’m doing sft on all of them.
