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 said white peach is not a main flavor, but that's not really what I meant. It frequently may be the main flavor, but I have not seen it by itself in recipes, always has other flavors to round it out. Other fruits or peaches.

    Somewhere between here and there
    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.

    I'm actually really liking the gingerbread ice cream sandwich recipe with the meringue added and it might even get a remix which is really saying something. I try a lot of recipes that I either never remix or it's a long time in between.


    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.

    I've been at my current job a little over 23 years. It's a small company of 12 employees so it has become more of a dysfunctional family with time. I work by myself a large portion of the day and have very little interaction with the owner who sits in an office that I can see from my desk but there is a wall with glass in between me and the showroom and his office. Coworkers sometimes come in and out to get things or ask me questions but I'm alone a large portion of the day and really kind of like it.

    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.
    I think I'm getting burned out on strawberry. Maybe I just need to find a different combination. Or stronger %'s. I still like it and want to taste it, but it's not making me really happy, I'm not thinking "mmm that's good" when I vape it.

    I would highly suggest that you stop vaping strawberry for awhile.

    I hadn't used strawberry in quite a while and recently used it in a couple recipes and have a hard time tasting it. I don't know if I'm not using enough or what. I need to get out my succulent strawberry and give it a try. I remember it being one of the best tasting ones I've tried. I've got a 30ml bottle running around somewhere.

    I don’t have a problem tasting strawberry but felt I need to leave it alone for awhile so I’m using other fruits.

    I've had situations like that where I work, but not currently. I work at a glass decorating production facility, do a lot of printing on glass and ceramics for bars and restaurants across the US. At our height we had over 300 people total working on 3 shifts 6-7 days a week.
    I started as basic labor but have done many jobs over time and had a few different job titles there. Multi-color printing press operator and Quality Control Auditor/Tech are the notable ones. The QC was the best, I had a laboratory! It was really just a large office where we do a few things to test our products, but hey ;) I spent a lot of time working the night shift in the office.
    Currently we are down to less than 50 people on a morning shift and 14 on a 2nd shift, and every day I do at least 3 of my previous job titles, labor, machine setup and operation, and qc still.
    We have less than one third of the personnel we did 5 years ago, but still put out nearly the same amount of orders, it's phenomenal. Our goal is 50,000 glasses a day between 2 shifts.

    You know, that is a good idea. It's not hitting the spot for me now like it used to, so it's not going to be hard.
    I have been getting into different things lately, more sour flavors, and even candy flavors spurred on by what some people I work with are vaping.

    Who makes that, and do you generally use it as your only strawberry in a mix? I've been doing a strawberry trinity I first saw in this thread for a while, also trying CAP sweet strawberry. I'm most often putting them in cheesecake or cookie mixes.

    It’s beats burning out. Could be years to be able to vape it again. Know any good sour flavors?

    @uthinkofsomething - Succulent Strawberry is one of OSDIY's one stop blends. I started out trying it at Kimberly's recommended %, but had to keep lowering it until I hit 3%...because it was harsh on my lips and tongue...sort of stung them. (I think it's something in it that just bothers me though, since no one else has mentioned it IIRC.) At 3%, for me...it's really good and doesn't affect my lips or tongue.

    Morning, merry mixers, and happy Friday :)

    As is said, variety is the spice of life. (And a Hollywood mag?) One of the things I really like about vaping is the choices, so I make sure I have a lot of choices every day ;)

    Not really, I'm just getting into Sour stuff. I've been using CAP Lemon Lime in one recipe a lot, have that Sour Blue Raspberry from WF, and have tried a little Sour Wizard in a couple things. I picked up TFA Sour, but I think that may be similar to Sour Wizard.
    When I started mixing I wanted to make a pineapple with a certain taste, real fresh kind of sour, and wasn't very happy with that aspect of many of the pineapples out there. Real Flavors SC does the most realistic one, my opinion, but I found Sugarloaf VTA was surprisingly different and good, but not sour at all of course.

    I may give that a shot at some point. Do you like it more by itself or in a mix?

    I don't do the sour stuff cause it separates in taste for me. Rhubarb and Acai can both be sour if you use too much. I just like to keep things at a low sweetness level.

    It looks like JC already answered that for me. If I remember correctly, I used it solo at around 6%. I've been using a strawberry trinity but it just hasn't been popping for me lately.

    If you like lime, you should try SSA sour lime. It's not great as a solo flavor but is definitely sour and I think it will pop in a recipe if I can figure out what to use it in. The sugarloaf pineapple is the best one that I've tried so far but I have one or two I bought that I haven't tried yet.

    I don't remember if I posted this recipe before or not but to me it's definitely sour.
