    All the talk of ginger brings back memories of my short spice vaping time. Years ago I bought some spice flavors. I did some mixes I really liked but within a week or two my taste buds totally rebelled. I didn’t give up in a hurry but I did give up. Spices are out for me.

    The Acai is 2% in that recipe. That should knock the sweetness down in most everything.
    Acai is another fruit that I have no experience with in eating, so I really don't know what to expect from it. From what I read people compare it to tasting a little bit like grapes and/or blueberries. Do you generally use acai as kind of a main note, or more of a complimentary flavor?

    I have used Acai as a main flavor but more often I will add it to a recipe I know will be too sweet. I’ve never eaten one either but it’s a nice fruit flavor.

    Not a lot today. Get some work done and go to a doctor's appointment. Might do some mixing this evening.

    How 'bout you?
    I need to order my last two Christmas gifts. I’m done earlier than usual this year.
    Other than that a have no plans at this time.

    I generally get all my holiday shopping done on Black Friday (online shopping). But this year I might adjust that because stores are handling Black Friday deals a bit different this year.

    If I have the money and find anything really cheap on Black Friday I get a jump on birthday gifts or next Christmas.

    Good morning mixers. I’m looking forward to the weekend after not getting much rest last weekend it has seemed like a really long week.
    I have six days off work starting now:thumbs:
    I've been working at the same place 15 years (it's a love / hate relationship), and one of my favorite things in life is to not be there haha.
    I'll have to put together a big mixing session in a couple days, but have no idea what I want to make. Will probably start going through older flavors I don't use much and see what I can put together. May have some carrot cake in my future.

    Carrot cake vape? That is an interesting idea. I do enjoy a nice piece of carrot cake.

    I have Wonder Flavors Carrot Cake. A lot of people seem to make pretty basic recipes using it with LA or LB (can't remember which it is) Cream Cheese Icing, which I do not have.
    The carrot cake is more a spice flavor than carrot, kind of mild. Overall I thought it was an interesting flavor.

    Thanks for the warning. Anything spicy is out for me.

    I'm thinking about putting a custard together, I have TFA and CAP... and CAP Apricot, which I have only used with peach to give it depth. Yep, CAP Vanilla Custard3%, Apricot 2%, White Peach 1%. Maybe 1% INW Biscuit or FA Cookie. Well there's one down.

    It is pretty mild, but I I'm sure you know what most carrot cakes taste like spice-wise and that is what they were going for, the spices give the impression of carrot cake, I think.

    I only have Cap Juice Peach and TFA Juice Peach. How does the White Peach compare?

    Yes probably but I can’t do any taste of spice.

    I have CAP Juicy Peach also, but have only used it a couple times and can't really compare. White peach is highly recommended to give a fresh peach flavor, bright almost tart like what I think of as a nectarine? Notes say over 3% and it gets weird tasting. I think it is generally used in conjunction with other flavors to round it out, not a main flavor, but you will know it's there. I originally got the white peach and apricot together because that was suggested as a nice full peach flavor, with white peach about 2-3% and apricot at 1%. The apricot is strong. I think the apricot is Capella and white peach is FA...

    I’m still vaping the lemon cheesecake and it seems I’m ok with lemon. Next I’ll see if I can vape lime again.After that I’ll see if I can vape peach again. LOL I burnt out on several flavors. These days I have a few different pv’s going with different flavors so that doesn’t happen again.
