I used SSA Whipped Cream. It was new to me so I wanted to check it out. It's a keeper as far as I'm concerned. I have a 30ml in my BCF cart.

There are a couple whipped creams I like a lot. FLV whipped cream and FA whipped cream are my favorites. Those are very realistic with no cloying or off-putting tastes.

BTW, used in as little as a few drops to very low %'s they will add some minor sweetness, thicken up a juice and add mouth feel. They also work very well with FA Fresh Cream and FLV Cream.
SSA Whipped Cream is awesome. It is my favorite out of all the cream flavors I have tried. In fact, even though I only have a few, all the SSA flavors I've tried are really good.

Some restocks, some new.

They didn't have them at the sporting goods store I went to today. I'll keep looking. My local Academy Sports will hopefully get a set in stock soon.

Do any of those places have "order on line pickup in store"? Might be a way around shipping charges?

no matter where Ya' look there are to many winkles around here

    Fran, we are having a similar day.

    2nd washer delivered and set up. They started it, worked fine, they left and it tripped the breaker. I am doomed with washers in this new place. Guy just installed the outlet and obviously did a poor job. It trips every time I start the washer.

    It's not unusual to use FA Strawberry (Red Touch) 4% or higher as a single flavor. In a mix I've never gone over 3%, usually less.

    I mainly use it paired with FA Juicy Strawberry. When used together they produce a very realistic strawberry. If I want more of a ripe strawberry in my mixes I go higher with juicy strawberry. For less ripe I go higher with Red Touch. All depends.

    HIC's notes...

    FA Strawberry (Red Touch) 4% or more standalone. You must shake this flavoring well before using it, or you’ll get very faint flavor. This is another example of the realism of FA’s fruit flavors. This flavor includes all aspects of a real berry, including the not-quite-ripe part. That “green” note makes this one of the most authentic strawberry flavors around (if you want the flavor of just the ripe bit, start with Juicy Strawberry). Strawberry has none of the fermented or musty flavor that some other brands’ use in their “ripe” berry flavors (FA Amber can add that if you want). You can boost the intensity of FA Strawberry by using it with other mild but sweeter fruit flavors.
    Reading flavor descriptions is one of the most hit and miss things I can think of. You might have the same taste for the flavor and you might not.

    Funny you mentioned that recipe. I mixed it up yesterday for the first time. I saw the high reviews and thought it might be worth a shot.
    Mine will be a day behind yours for steeping. It's on my to do today list.

    Hiya folks :)

    Got some vapemail today,first foray into DIY territory.

    IMG_20210430_171410.jpg


    First time i ordered from this company based in Spain.
    Prompt delivery on time and i even got 3 stickers so i could label the bottles,small things like this are the things that matter.

    Anyway,starting small for now,just want to find out what ''pure'' flavors i enjoy vaping so i got me some pineapple,key lime and fresh cola.

    Will mix with the pack base+nic that i got,add some drops of the A&L fresh and let all 3 bottles steep.

    For me it's best like this,can't really afford to waste e-liquid so even if i don't like it the amount i would have to vape (without enjoying it if i don't like it) won't be big.

    Next time i need e-liquid i will place an order for 3 new flavors in 10ml bottles and that way i can keep on trying new profiles,once i get a list of 8 or 10 pure flavors i can start thinking of mixing them up but for now this will suffice.

    I agree. Every SSA flavor I've tried is really good.

    Did the electrician guy put in (or put the outlet on) a GFCI? If so, that might be the problem. Motors and GFCIs often don't do well together.

    If it's a gfi, you may need one with a higher leakage current trip setting for a washer.

    I totally agree. I've found a handful of mixers who share fairly close tastes to mine when it comes to flavors. Finding people who share similar tastes is the key.

    Right, flavor descriptions in and of themselves are pretty useless IMO. They give an idea of whatever flavor it is but that's it.

    Same goes for the so-called highly rated recipes on the various websites.

    Like you, I prefer creating my own recipes.

    :)

    My preference for good-tasting eliquid outweighs my preference for creating my own recipes.
