    Does anyone find WF Croissant kind of strong or harsh? I was trying a mix of Croissant at 3.5% and WF Baked Strawberry at 2%, and I nearly coughed up a lung. I rarely cough when vaping.
    Could be wrong but I don't like I ever mixed it that high.

    So what does the Hawaiian Punch taste like? Too sweet?

    At first it tasted like a fruit I didn’t recognize and after a couple days it didn’t really taste like anything and wash harsh on the throat like it had alcohol in it.

    Well that's disappointing to hear. What % did you use it at?

    On my 1st go I went with 1% each of the SSA ice creams. It was good. The 2nd time I increased ice cream vanilla to 1.5% and kept ice cream at 1%, and I do like that one more. FLV vanilla pudding would thicken it up and add a little more vanilla flavor. I'm waiting on my FA milk from Nom Nomz.

    I don't remember what SSA %'s @FranC or @NolaMel used.
    I did two more tests... ic vanilla 1.5% + ic 1%. Second both ic at 1.5% + custard prem 1% (trying for a frozen custard St. Louis style). I upped the plain ic in the second to hopefully keep the prem from turning it into a straight out custard. In my first mix, the crisp waffle was forward until I added the blackberries. It’s close to a cobbler with ic. I need to boost the crust with something bready... thinking WF bread sweet.

    You had me at "frozen custard St. Louis style". Now I am craving Ted Drewes frozen custard.

    I usually go around 2%. I have weak tastebuds, but I taste it nicely at that %

    It's the first time I've really used the flavor. Next time I'll go lower. I'm not even sure why I decided on 3.5% in the first place.

    Me tooooo. When I was pregnant with my oldest, I ate gallons of it. Always a mile long line there, but so worth the wait. You used to be able to mail order it. Cost an arm and a leg to ship (overnight on dry ice). Frozen gold!

    I try to always get one after a Cardinals game when I'm up there. It's one of the best things ever.

    Trying the Grapefruit Lemonade and I do like it. Thank you, @Zazie . The grapefruit ends up being the top note for me which is good because I like the taste. I’m not sure if I’d like a lemon lemonade. I’m pretty sure it would be too much lemon for me and I could end up not being able to vape it again. I’m actually surprised I like this with so much lemon in it.
    I like grapefruit a lot in a vape. It actually tastes like grapefruit to me, unlike lemon. I can taste orange, too, but it's much wimpier.

    I'm sad about lemon. I'm also sad that I don't like cucumber. It smells like real cucumber to me but tastes much the same as cactus, which I don't like at all. Disappointing.

    Yes, it can suck when flavors don't taste like they're named. I have no problem tasting lemon but just don't want to overdo it. I had a very short run with orange. I liked it at first but that didn't last long at all.

    Too bad, I like tropical type flavors quite a bit. I haven't tried many of the WF tropical fruits yet.

    The Tiki Punch one shot from chefs is good but I’d mix it lower than the recommended percentage. I tried it there and it was too much flavor for me.
